The 20-year-old gunman who reportedly opened fire on Donald Trump took the rifle from his father on the day of the assassination attempt. Thomas Matthew Crooks allegedly used the AR-15-style rifle at the gun range multiple times before the rally shooting. Crooks’ father, Matthew Crooks, owned the firearm and let his son use it occasionally. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber breaks down whether Crooks’ dad will face charges similar to the Oxford school shooter’s parents.

I'm confused as to how the parents be responsible? That's just crazy, to hold someone else responsible for a 20yr old man's choices. That is leftist thinking at its finest. Victim victim victim, always someone else's fault
Peace and love to all.
We need to stop dangerous rhetoric by ALL politicians. Young people need to hear inspiring, hopeful messages, not prophecies of impending doom. I don't care what their intended message was, when Republicans chanted "Fight, fight, fight" while pumping fists in the air at the RNC, they reminded me of NAZIs chanting for Hitler. They should find a new chant.
Great talk. Great vid.
he was 20, I don't think his parents are responsible. but i do wonder how trump feels about assault rifles now
dude seems like a law versions of Scotty Kilmer!
The parents be held accountable for their adult son???? NO!!!! What are we going to do? Go after Jeffery Dahmer's parents? Lee Harvey Oswald's parents? Ridiculous!!!
Don't entertain videos like this for views, dude was an ADULT, parents aren't accountable at all period.
What Sickens Me Deeply is How Many Americans PRETEND They Hate Trump Because it is The COOL/HIP Opinion to Have…Ask These People WHY They Hate Trump and They Get Very Flustered and Stumble and Stutter Their Words…They Have No Answers….They are Just Going With The Flow
Wonder what he learned from blackwater
COUNSELORS???🤦♀️‼️‼️‼️😱🤮🤦♀️THERE GUILTY💥‼️‼️‼️PROSECUTE‼️ the Parents‼️😡
Investigations should be made into parents, but be treated as individuals who probably instigated this act. Maybe partner in crime or master mind.
If there's prove of that, then they should be prosecuted as accomplices.
If they're actually decent parents, then they should be left alone.. losing a child is punishment enough..
Most parents are aware that their kid has issues and that their kid needs extra care….
They just refuse to acknowledge it
Blood is not that color shown on Trump's face??? What is that?
The kid saw himself as a loser and wanted his one second of fame.
Why does someone need 20 guns?? Yes. The parents are responsible if the weapon belonged to the father!!
You should swap the word parents with witnesses as you mean anyone who saw him or knew of the actions he was about to do but never called the authorities
Maybe you guys should remember WHY someone has to live with their parents in this day and age when they cannot afford to get their own place due to the economy and all those reasons, PLUS the political rhetoric that each party blames the other for all of the USA's problems – ADDING THE FACT that most democrat talking heads are voicing that Trump should be stopped AT ALL COSTS!! What about THAT!??
According to the Russian news agencies,8 bullets came from 3 different directions, 4 people were injured, one died, Trump was shot in two different places, one in the right ear and another on his jacket, but that has not touched his body. Thus, the Western narrative is totally rubbish.
Thomas Crooks is totally innocent. But he is dead already, thus the truth is buried.
Secret Service hoping to lay blame on everyone but themselves.
Hard to listen to the man's voice
If the parents are responsible then the government should be accountable for allowing the sale of guns.
Trump should get a tatto of the man killed by the shooter
I bet Cory , knew to much of something. I’m waiting on that story .
Oh I see that everyone is an “assassination expert” now. Every time something like this goes down, everybody all of a sudden knows every detail to the incident at hand.
The parents called the police looking for their son. They knew probably he had a gun. So….they knew he was going to do something heinous imo.
Sometimes if things don't add up in court the court decides…. right??!!
Why, kid was twenty and had no record.
Let's allow a shooter to take action first! To kill and attempt to kill former president before he is taken out……hummm does not register in my mind
They are not at fault crooks was a grown butt man.
He's an adult who stole and used his dad's weapon.
Real question is why did he aim Trump? WHY DID THE SECRET SERVICE FAIL TO HEED WARNINGS AND MOVE AHEAD OF TIME TO PROTECT TRUMP?!
That kid has saved Trumps life -a professional would have succeeded
Guns cant be registered to anyone, thats illegal. The info telling law enforcement the father had more guns- illegal. The fact they could trace that rifle to its original owner in 30 min- illegal…
If a Trump follower did this… the US would be spinning the earth on it's axis.
