How is it we know more about Luigi Mangione than we do about Thomas Crooks?

A Secret Service officer shot 6 times, from less than 10 feet, at Ryan Routh and missed. How and why did that happen? Meanwhile, nothing is known of Crooks, yet within 20 minutes of the Mangione arrest, the country knew the life story of Mangione.
What is really being hidden from the public?
Why Is Crooks Not Discussed At ALL?

It's in striking contrast to the last high-profile killer who came to our attention last July, Thomas Crooks, another young man with a similar background who got his name in the news for attempting to kill President Trump amid a sea of Secret Service incompetence, but did manage to murder an innocent firefighter who was nearby, and injure two others in addition to President Trump, before he was shot dead by a cop. His age was similar, his engineering background was similar, his working in a nursing home was similar
But we hear nothing of the level of information Mangione got from this miserable freak -- little about his political motivations, which political party he identified with, what his political views were, who his friends were, nothing about his very strange family who threw away their silverware to prevent police from finding it in a home search after the killing and attempted assassination, nothing about the strange associated classmates who could have been involved in the attack.
We know nothing about the strange ad Crooks made for Blackrock, or the 18 burner phones in his backpack. We don't know who he was talking to on the phone, seen in a video, before he launched into his assassination bid. If he had a manifesto, we haven't seen it. And his social media accounts were quickly scrubbed and shut down.
Why?

You know why. When the government takes a shot and misses.....well you get this.

why do you think?

He had a prolific online presence and left things for the media. Crooks did not.

Every last agent needs to be reinterviewed and possibly rehired depending on their interview.

I think we will learn more about Thomas after January 20th.

Everyone is not on social media and out in the public eye at equal levels.
Mangione was well known, even his high school valedictorian speech is online.
Crooks was a loner.

One was 20 and had a short adult life. He was just out of vo tech school. What is there to know?
The other was 26 and had some adult experiences. More than Crooks had, but really not a lot either.

I dunno. Some people post about everything in their life. They have a wide circle of friends and have a well know influential family. They can travel all around the globe meeting lots of people leaving a paper trail. They meet people or simply walk by them and are remembered.
Sometimes people are losers that hardly anyone knows them. They are socially awkward, introverted and don't put anything out there for the world to see. They are born into poor families and don't leave a 10 mile radius their entire lives.
Or there is a coverup.
I think it is healthy to consider both are very possible.

Gotcha. I guess these are the types we really need to keep an eye on. After all, the SS agency fires multiple rounds from less than 17' away and can't even eliminate them.
Wonder who the dude was on the water tower?

Now, some of this can be explained away by Mangione having an internet presence and being a non-misfit socially, which made more information available generally.
But that doesn't explain all of it. Where are the classmates who knew him? Why is his family so silent? Why has his social media presence been suppressed? And why is the Secret Service seemingly going out of its way to obstruct Congress? There have been quite a few shouting matches at this point.

Yeah, a 20 year old with no online presence, that had apparent connections to an FBI agent, trained at the same shooting range where the FBI and DHS train, and was in a BlackRock commercial. Makes perfect sense!

How about a motive? How about that? But still have no idea why he shot Trump or got past all that security, or how his house was scrubbed of everything including the silverware. But no curiosity whatsoever from you. Let’s just take their word for it that the slopped roof was too much to ask of the Secret Service.

Because it appears that Mangione was a prolific online poster while Crooks seems to be a loner who stayed to himself all the time.
Seriously, who posts online book reviews to the Unabomber Manifesto? That's the real conspiracy.

Does it ever get exhausting, believing that everything that happens is part of some sinister plot or obfuscation?

got past all that security,
Pretty sure that has been answered many, many times. There was no one up there. Security at the rallies had gotten complacent and didn't do their jobs.
Of course, that was obvious when it happened.
