This is not a surprise, at all. It was less than 48 hours from the start of the Republicans convention. I'm certain this will be listed as a root cause in the investigation.

From everything I’ve seen his parents were conservative and neighbors have stated they had Trump signs in their yard.

Except he basically did tell us what happened.  Re-read the following exchange, I've added the emphisis to bring out the context:

The White House and USSS is saying they had sufficient resources. So, they are either lying or the plan was deficient and poorly executed.


Get all three.



He is saying the below is all true
1. The white House is lying, they were deficient of resources.
2. The protection plan was deficient
3. the deficient protection plan was then additionally poorly executed.

He's saying it was a clusterfuck without explicitly telling us exactly what happened.

The counter argument to "it wasn't a inside job" is that it wasn't a inside job by those that were on the ground there that day. The inside job part happened all the way at part 1.

To go back to swiss cheese analogy that's used in incident analysis - what made this a inside job is the white house has been making sure that trump has been given the slices with the most holes in the hope they would line up like they damn near did Saturday.

Stunning new details from @CBSNews on how secret service snipers noticed the shooter before the Trump rally in Butler, PA on Saturday.

There were three snipers stationed INSIDE the building the shooter was on, according to a local law enforcement officer with direct knowledge.
One of the snipers inside saw Crooks outside looking up at the roof observing the building and then disappeared, according to local law enforcement.

Then Crooks came back, sat down and was looking on his phone and at that point one of the snipers took a picture of him.
Then Crooks took out a range finder and the sniper radio-ed to the command post.  Crooks disappeared again and then came back a third time with a backpack. The snipers called in with information that he had a backpack and said he was walking towards the back of the building.
Officers believe that Crooks might have used an air conditioning unit to get on top of the roof.

By the time other officers came for backup he had climbed on top of the building and was positioned above and behind the snipers inside the building.
Two other officers who heard the sniper’s call came and tried to get onto the roof.

State police started rushing to the scene. But that time a secret service sniper had already killed Crooks, according to the law enforcement officer.
The officer said also Crooks had an IED in his pocket in addition to the explosive materials in his car.

Questions remain about HOW this was possible that several law enforcement officers had eyes on the shooter before and reported his behavior... yet this still happened.



This must be that pic, which was out very early on.

If he was sitting on the curb, and the pic was taken from a standup position from a close floor level window, I can see it.

Clairton does have a 300 yard range, but you shoot across a road that has to be closed when its used, so useage is limited to High Power matches. I've only shot there 3 or 4 time because that range gets stupid hot during the summer.

I'm with the Canadian sniper. There were holes everywhere, but I don't see how an idiot kid just shows up and wanders through them all perfectly. The odds are just not there. Somehow, he had to have been led through those holes.

Things with this kid just keep not falling into any patterns.  Unlike most schizos this kid was employed as a "nutrition specialist" at a retirement home.  Meaning he fed old people for a living.  The his coworkers and employers actually spoke very well of him and evidently he had very good job performance and displayed lots of patience will the old codgers - that's not something a schizo 20 year old does.

I've never believed in MKULTRA conspiracy shit before but damn if this isn't making me go hmmm.

Ding ding ding.

The old man was anyway. The kid grew up around guns, and even though he didn't place on the rifle team doesnt mean he couldnt shoot. We have minor shooters here that are scary good, with some shooting at Camp Perry every year. I know a few.

Everyone keeps thinking this kid was an idiot just based on how he looks.

He wasnt dumb.

Sounds like the local police were allowed to get out of the sun earlier in the afternoon. But when Trump came out to speak, no one radioed the locals to get out and get back into position.
I'd have some tough questions for the SS Agent in charge of the venue.

- Snipers were apparently INSIDE the building he climbed onto.

-Rifle appears to be an AR, one news outlet reported it as an AR556, a Ruger. Not that it really matters.

-Optic appears to be something with an aimpoint micro-sized footprint. In all likelihood a non-magnified red dot.

-a doppelganger of the shooter posted content including a video saying "you got the wrong guy"

- There's video on a college campus of a lookalike of the shooter screaming "slash republican throats" when in the proximity of something like a campus Republicans table. We don't know if this was him

- Still no info on the ladder. Where it came from, video of it being placed, etc.

-Shooter was downed by a SS sniper at 488 yards according to Erik Prince

-Total elapsed time by my count from first shot report to final suppressed report from the SS was 16 seconds.

-Rifle belonged to shooters dad

You are taking it to the extreme.  Mayorkas absolutely creates opportunities of compromise and your shouting at people that think broader than you drowns out the obvious problem. You realize JFK Jr only just now got SS security b/c Trump said Mayorkas and his ilk need to step up.  We are absolutely under invasion and attack.  You don't have to control the bad players, just create opportunites and that is what DHS and it's umbrella is doing.

Dude, I get it. Trust me. The prez is supposed to be one of the most protected assets in the nation. But there were lots and lots of fuck ups.

nope, mostly because if it was I'd expect more than what appears to be a shithead getting lucky (well... almost) thanks to a complete shit-show.
if anything I'd say the entire protection and security situation is a result of the government shit show as a whole.

I can't find links but does anyone remember an eyewitness stating they saw the shooter move from one rooftop to another? No idea if I misread that somewhere or if it was actually stated.

I also seem to recall someone saying it was hypothesized he jumped up on an AC unit to get initial access. Is that true or just a rumor?

I say all this because in the picture you showed I could see someone getting onto that lower building to the left of the wall by using the AC unit then crossing over to the taller buildings.

Finally, someone stated a few pages back that it is believed the shooter bought a ladder the day of. Where did that information come from?

Stunning new details from @CBSNews on how secret service snipers noticed the shooter before the Trump rally in Butler, PA on Saturday.

There were three snipers stationed INSIDE the building the shooter was on, according to a local law enforcement officer with direct knowledge.
One of the snipers inside saw Crooks outside looking up at the roof observing the building and then disappeared, according to local law enforcement.

Then Crooks came back, sat down and was looking on his phone and at that point one of the snipers took a picture of him.
Then Crooks took out a range finder and the sniper radio-ed to the command post.  Crooks disappeared again and then came back a third time with a backpack. The snipers called in with information that he had a backpack and said he was walking towards the back of the building.
Officers believe that Crooks might have used an air conditioning unit to get on top of the roof.

By the time other officers came for backup he had climbed on top of the building and was positioned above and behind the snipers inside the building.
Two other officers who heard the sniper’s call came and tried to get onto the roof.

State police started rushing to the scene. But that time a secret service sniper had already killed Crooks, according to the law enforcement officer.
The officer said also Crooks had an IED in his pocket in addition to the explosive materials in his car.

Questions remain about HOW this was possible that several law enforcement officers had eyes on the shooter before and reported his behavior... yet this still happened.



This must be that pic, which was out very early on.

https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/172459/faggot_png-3268108.JPG




That picture appears to be taken from an elevated position.  Wasn’t that building he was on top of only 1 story?


If he was sitting on the curb, and the pic was taken from a standup position from a close floor level window, I can see it.



Or…. I’ve heard nothing about SS being in the taller building, but this sure looks like it could fit.  (pardon my horrible art)…

Pic taken from red circle second floor window? Looking down on retainer wall where crowd was watching and multiple vids taken from (white)? As he was spotting out the roof he was about to climb with unobstructed view?

I disagree, from the kids perspective, he only had to go through one hole.  Pick that building, and honestly it's a no duh building to pick.  It's the only building with a non obstructed line of sight within 200 yards of the stage that's simultaneously outside the main security perimeter.

I'm curious about ^this as well. Has there been discussion about him using the CS team's own ladder to get up there? If they were inside at the time, did they leave their ladder propped up??

Stop with the bullshit.

The powers 'that be' aren't idiots.  EVERYTHING is happening for a reason and only dumb luck or divine intervention saved Trump this past Saturday.

Adults deal with the truth and aren't swayed by smokescreens.

Enough with the 'Nothing to see here, folks.  Move along' bullshit.

I'm stepping out for the night.

You 'Top Men' have fun.

Apparently he went to the range with his dad a lot.

they went to a 200yd range.  rangefinder not really needed, IMO

That seems less than ideal.

Very possible. I was thinking the other side wall, as the snipers would've been seeing the event from that side, and the shooter could see the much lower roof line and where he could position himself/plan. Just my speculation as I have seen nothing about tsnipers in the taller building.

ETA: This is the opposite side of the building that everything happened on. It's blocking the single story building and roof that is closer that farm grounds. In the pic I posted above taken from a vid, you can see beside hat guy, that there is also an AC unit right there, by the very low roof causeway that connects the building. I would imagine any skinny 20 year old male should be able to make that grab & pull easy with no tools/ladder. Or, he might've very well scaled form another building, but why scale so high and get seen on the decline, on the way to another lower, closer roof, that could be got on much easier, especially when people obviously see him, but it's like he's invisible to anyone that matters.?
