I get why the kid lost his mind I mean his luck was so bad that for his yearbook photo he had acne that made him look like he had a herpe and kids probably tormented him for it. On top of it that's the photo THE WORLD SEES. Of course he was gonna rope one day. Normies think that's not an excuse but if all you've know all of your young life is trauma and isolation then obviously that fucks up your mind. Not only was his luck so bad that he missed but also accidentally killed a fireman.
NTs meme about trauma but when it comes down to it at least they got to love somebody. That Crooks kid was clearly another victim of the system.
