A friend was at the event and thinks he heard gunshots from another direction before the suppressed fire from the SS but after an initial couple of shots from Crooks position on the roof.
I think it was quite possible that someone befriended and radicalized Crooks to use him as a patsy for the assassination attempt.
Crooks position was inside the perimeter on a highly visible roof
The SS and police knew he was there an hour? before the shooting
He would have had to haul a rifle case most of a mile in public view
People alerted police and SS to a guy with a gun on the roof
A ladder was left out for him
There should have been people on that roof but they were inside
Trumps SS detail had been mostly or completely replaced with incompetents
Crooks was known to be a poor shot
The SS snipers appear to watch Crooks but not fire (or do anything) until he fired at the president 8 times
Crooks is the only 20 year old in the US with no social media presence
Crooks happens to be registered as a Republican but nothing else is known about his politics
He somehow knows how to build fairly complex IEDs but no one knows how.
Why would he need to haul a rifle case? 16" bbl ar15 breaks down and fits in most backpacks, like the one he was carrying in some of the pics.
Also who said they were complicated IEDs? All the public reports say explosive device or explosive material. Gee black powder is an explosive material available at almost any farm store and gun shop. A black powder pipe bomb is an explosive device that any retard can slap together.
There was no ladder left out for him, there was an access ladder bolted to the building again visible in some of the pics.
SS was never notified, all of the witnesses online have said they told the PD or sheriff deputies. You have no idea how long the SS sniper were looking at him all of the videos start a few seconds before they fire. So Cooks shoots snipers hear or see shots and verify he is a threat aquire a sight picture and fire. Thats roughly the timeline of every video out there.
LEO saw a suspicious person, later ID'd as Crooks in the CROWD roughly 30 minutes (not an hour and not on the roof) before the shooting, but lost him in the crowd. They didnt know if he was a threat or not, just someone weird with a backpack.
Youre getting bad info and blowing it out of proportion. SS and locals just plain dropped the ball.
