But now, according to the local news, Nicole Ford with WPXI, it is so much worse than just a couple of minutes they spotted the shooter on the roof nearly a half hour before the shooting.
Quote:
Channel 11s Nicole Ford confirmed that Beaver County's ESU team had eight members at the rally, including snipers and spotters. According to Ford's sources, one of them noticed a suspicious man on a roof near the rally at 5:45 p.m., called it in and took a picture of the person. We have learned from our sources the person in that picture is Thomas Crooks. We're told it's not clear if Crooks had a gun with him at that point.
They even saw him before then.
Quote:
According to multiple sources, a law enforcement officer had also previously seen Crooks on the ground and called him in as a suspicious person with a picture prior to 5:45 p.m. Our sources tell us an officer checked the grounds for Crooks at that point, but did not see him where the first picture was taken.
It was 26 minutes, running from 5:45 p.m. to 6:11 p.m., which is when the shot hit Trump.

Regardless, if you think this is a conspiracy, inside job, incompetence, or whatever the lady who says the roof was too steep, is responsible for the murder of the innocent fireman. How in the hell was this not prevented this should have not happened you have officers reporting suspicious activity for 2030 minutes before the shooting, and the rally is still allowed to go on not delayed just proceed like normal… You have people on the ground for over a minute screaming about a guy on a building regardless if he had a gun or not, they're pointing out something crazy is going on. How does the Secret Service guy on stage not go grab Mr. Trump and say, sir we've got a take cover for a little bit to figure this out something's going on, it's absolutely ridiculous that he was able to stay up there on stage… If there is a bomb threat at a school, you don't just continue on the day like normal until a bomb is found or until you find that it was a prank Wake up, she should be fired and people should be in jail

Well look at the wording. Ramped up due to a threat. That could have meant yesterday. I think this is to distract from the optics that there were zero fat/short worthless women on his detail yesterday as compared to two days prior.

They are trying to get the meme of "wow, look at this security last night...DEI is dangerous" and trying to now spin it as "well we beefed up security due to a new threat", not because these fat useless DEI agents are ineffective in the first place.
The Iranian threat was from a couple of weeks ago. That makes failing to secure the sniper's building even worse and fuels the "they wanted it to happen" conspiracy fire. Add it that we're losing so many conspiracies because they are coming true and you really can't blame people for wondering how this happened. Oopsie just leaves way too many questions.

The head of the SS went from, "wasn't us" (BS, even if the locals were responsible for securing it, SS had to establish comms with them to monitor the status), to "the pitch was too steep", despite the fact the other teams were on steeper roofs. What will the next excuse be?

Do you want conspiracy theories to flourish? Withhold facts and put out clear lies.

At this point, that might be a viable option for those trying to hide something. Muddy the waters so much nobody can tell heads from tails.

That's weird. I saw a video of whatever POS lady runs the SS on news not too long ago that says that there were no credible threats against Donald Trump. It would be interesting to see if it is within that 2 week window.

This entire thing stinks to high hell.

He was sent temp DHS And DEA agents with very few actual SS agents while also being denied additional security and there was bill submitted to remove his SS altogether yet he was threatened recently? Makes zero sense. This whole thing is a farce to cover up their attempted assassination so the faucet stays on.

The anchor has this expert/congressman Cory Mills on, and interrupts him several times, like she knows better. Shut the **** and let him speak.

"waiiiwaiiiwaiiiii Donald Trump says that we need to --dial it back -- do not blame this on Joe Biden"

"Well, I didnt say anything about Joe Biden..."

Imagine that, a CNN anchor, who are some of the dumbest people on planet earth, trying to interrupt and correct a US Army Sniper about basic security.

The nerve of this *****.

"No credible and specific threats." Preparing in different ways (such as removing SS staff and using different agency security for final Trump rally before RNC due to Dr. Jill rally):

Absolutely! He summed up my position very well on this. The elementary nature of the hole in security makes me lean towards there being intent somewhere in the chain.

Here's what I can't wrap my head around:

I can absolutely buy that SS let its guard down, full of Obama/Biden DEI hires that might not work that hard covering Trump.

But how is it that by all accounts kind of wimpy 20 year old kid without a lot of known history of mental illness or radicalization plan to shoot Trump all willy-nilly at a local rally near his house. Didn't have to travel, didn't have to plan, didn't leave a footprint.. just used his dad's gun, hopped on a roof, and pew pew. When there are likely hundreds of more well qualified entities that would love to disrupt America and Trump by taking credit for an assassination… we got this kid? It doesn't past the vibe check.

This, IMO, is the most accurate breakdown of the events that preceded the shooting. The discussion is between two police officers who have had a work history of working with SS in their capacity as local LEOs. They review the likely way the event went down based off the video evidence provide to date. They point out that while they saw someone on the roof, there is a delay before the gun is actually visualized (see CC text on video). As a LEO, the likely first impression was that it was just some spectator trying to get a better view and the rules of engagement would prevent them from firing first without knowledge that the guy crawling on the roof had a weapon.

One can plan without leaving a footprint. From all indications, this guy wasn't a semi-function (censored word which starts with a R) like Adam Lanza. Someone with just average intelligence could figure out how to do it.

Finds out Trump is going to have a rally nearby.

Decides he wants to kill him.

Plans it all out in his mind, creates a timeline for when he needs to do X, Y, and Z. Then carries out.

The most dangerous type of presidential assassin is the one who is willing to die to achieve his goal, is solo, and never, ever says a word to anyone. There is simply no way to find them in advance before they make their move.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

How does this wimpy kid, who was quiet loner (except when he apparrently talked about right leankng beliefs) and bullied as recently as high school have zero social media accounts?

I don't buy it. Apparently he had discord, but reportedly didn't use it for months and had nothing in it about anything related to Trump? Oh...and it was conveniently deleted too.

He articulated exactly where I'm at. This was a course of mistakes that together allowed this to happen. The terms conspiracy is thrown around far too often and misinterpreted often. I do not believe this is mark wahlberg shooter movie with a mass conspiracy planned out. But I do believe there were both accidents and intentional oversights that led to this

it's not a mass conspiracy, but is an "intentional oversights".

It was just this random day that a 20 year old loaner nerd decided to take his dads gun and get to precisely the place where one of these intentional oversights were inexplicably made?


bruh.

the FBI has already been found to have been honey potting people by planting the seed of an idea and encouraging them to do things that they might not have otherwise done like...well lets say...kidnap Governor Whitmer. That is proven. You dont think they could do it with someone like this?

Or just an everyday shooting and completely unrelated to the RNC.

Dom Lucre is one of the most community noted accounts on Twitter due to the massive amount of wrong crap he posts.

The only way I see a 20 year old not having social media is that they have become a moderately-famed internet troll and was doing everything possible to not be doxxed. Or they teeter on the SovCit world where they are worried about big data knowing who they are - but I would expect real life people to know that as well - usually those guys aren't quiet about it.

Seems like everybody in the local PD should have been on point for this security detail.

This wasn't working the gate of a PGA tournament

If you a local cop this is as big as its gonna get.

It's game day. As big as its gonna get.

Doesn't seem like the local cops would show up and be laxidasical about the whole deal.

This was their chosen profession at the highest possible level.

Something happened but it seems like a hard sell that the local PD was incompetent.

Seems like there would have been a chain of command and they were a part of it.

If USSS was in charge then I don't see how you shift the blame down on the local cops.

Buy all accounts the local cops were doing what they were told.
