Failed Trump Assassin Purchased Ladder and 50 Rounds of Ammo on the Morning of the Rally, According to New Report
The Gateway Pundit ^ | July 15, 2024 | Cassandra MacDonald

According to a report from CNN citing law enforcement officials, Crooks bought the ladder from Home Depot on the day he tried to assassinate Trump from the roof of a nearby building.

If this report is accurate and to be believed, Crooks may have made it past law enforcement and the Secret Service carrying a very tall ladder and used it to climb the building unnoticed.

CNN reports:

On Friday, he went to a shooting range where he was a member, and practiced firing, a law enforcement official told CNN. The next morning, Crooks went to a Home Depot, where he bought a five-foot ladder, and a gun store, where he purchased 50 rounds of ammunition, the official said.

Then, Crooks drove his Hyundai Sonata about an hour north, joining thousands of people from around the region who flocked to Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. He parked the car outside the rally, with an improvised explosive device hidden in the trunk that was wired to a transmitter he carried, the official said. Then, investigators believe, he used his newly-bought ladder to scale a nearby building, and opened fire on the former president.

There's no way that tall ladder in the picture fit in that small car called a Hyundai Sonata. Did he strap it to the roof? That would have been a Red Flag pulling up at a Trump rally. And where did he learn to make detonators with a separate remote?

I thought it was said he drove a van with Arizona tags.

So… this guy walked from the parking area, among HUNDREDS or THOUSANDS of people - carrying a ladder and a rifle?…

Pull the other one!

He had a little help from the FIB or the SS.

Stupid patsy that got lured into believing that he would be a martyr for killing President Trump.

No one will be held responsible for this event since the patsy is dead. This was all part of the plan.

The deep state will try again and again.

Plenty of MSLSD patsies out there.

He also just got his CCL. (Concealed carry for ladders) I suppose.

I simply don’t know what to make of all this.

It begins to border on the ridiculous. I have this vision of him walking to the checkpoint with the ladder, saying breezily to the sunglassed guards “I’m with the painting crew!” as they just wave him through.

That is how much I think of nearly any branch of our government these days. So little that I could think of it as a joke and then suddenly, as I ponder it think: “Yeah. That could happen...”

Next we’ll here that a couple of SS agents helped him carry the ladder over to the side of the building.

One way to mess with sites and site security, wear a high vis vest and carry a clipboard.
Have some weird official looking forms on said clipboard.
Act like you belong.

What makes them think the ladder was tall? It might have folded up enough to fit in a back pack. Even then, carrying anything like he supposedly carried should have landed him in jail.

Stupid article...

“... made it past law enforcement and the Secret Service
carrying a very tall ladder...”

“...went to a Home Depot, where he bought a five-foot ladder...”

“...If this report is accurate and to be believed...”

That guy didn't look like he weighed 98 pounds soaking wet. Did he carry a 10 foot ladder, rifle, ammo et al all by his lonesome?

BTW, Dallas Alexander claims he heard the ladder was attached to the wall.

Home Depot check-out surveillance would be more telling if it was Crooks or Yearick that purchased the ladder.

If was Crooks, then his body is near.

If Yearick made the purchase, then Crooks’ body may be in another state.

Clever kid - bought a ladder that morning and knew right where to place it on the only building that had no protections, yet was 130 yards direct line of sight for a kill shot on a former President.

Didn't matter that there was SS, CAT, CST, state police, county sheriff deputies, and local police all over the place.

He did it all by his lonesome and just got really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really lucky.

To me a "very tall ladder" = a 40 foot or better extension ladder, which would be about 20 feet long not extended.

Those things are heavy, he didn't look strong enough to raise the thing alone.

Or was it really a useless 5 foot ladder?

Did some entity have a ladder waiting for him already against the building?

That was no five foot ladder. I do wish that journalists had brains to use instead of just blathering what they think they hear. They just make things confusing.

“So… this guy walked from the parking area, among HUNDREDS or THOUSANDS of people - carrying a ladder and a rifle?…”

Ever been to a Trump rally? If you have been, you’d know that half the people there bring a ladder and a scoped rifle with them.

(in other words, this thing STINKS)
