ASSASSIN EYE-WITNESS: Police Are Lying about Rooftop Confrontation of Alleged Sniper – “The Guys on the Second Floor Were Watching – But They Didn’t Do Anything!”
GP ^ | 7/20/24 | Benjamin Wetmore

Posted on 07/20/2024 9:32:57 AM PDT by AnthonySoprano

One often-repeated part of the official story is that a Butler County Sheriff’s Deputy climbed on top of the roof moments prior to the shooting to confront alleged shooter Thomas Crooks, and Crooks responded by pointing a weapon at the Deputy, who then fell off of an eight-foot ladder

Later reports claim that the deputy hurt his ankle and is now walking with a medical boot. Here’s the New York Post repeating that story nationally.

Key witness Greg Smith exclusively told the Gateway Pundit:

“I saw him [the sniper] right before he shots happened, and I didn’t see him turn around and confront anyone. I never saw that and it didn’t happen. We asked all the people around us and in our group and we didn’t see that. I heard the story about the officer falling and hurting his foot, no one saw that. I’ve heard the stories, but I have no idea what they’re talking about.” Explosively, he also relates that the snipers in the 2nd floor section of the AGR building were watching the rooftop shooter as the shots rang out – and did nothing!

“I was looking all around to get law enforcement’s attention before the shots, and I could tell it was coming, because as I was standing there for several minutes I kept thinking ‘why is Trump still talking?’ You expect someone to be on the radio or whatever the protocol is, to get Trump off the stage. I knew this isn’t good. I expected the shots to start, and then they did. It was mass chaos. I was looking at the guys on the second story, my eyes were jumping three or four different places, I could see that they saw him and were looking at him and watching what he was doing, but they didn’t do anything.“ Butler County Sheriffs Deputies have said that their body cameras were turned off and there is no footage available from the incident.

“What were they doing/supposed to be doing?”

The real question is.... who was the pivot man... er... person.

“””Adjacent building.”””


The story keeps changing. Now the cover-up artists are saying the cops were inside the two story adjacent building supposedly looking out the windows.

1. Why wasn’t someone on the roof of this two story building where they would have had a view of all the adjoining one story building roofs?

2. Were the cops inside the two story building too busy on their smartphones arranging their dates for Saturday evening?

“There’s no way it went down as that Cop claims.

It’s a BS story all the way.”

With ALL of those citizens recording Crooks on the roof, you’d think that someone would have recorded the interaction between the cops and Crooks but... nothing. At least I haven’t seen anything yet to back up that story.

It was already established that these guys were way back in the room and not near the window, so they wouldn’t have been seen from the crowd outside.


I assume the that these “guys’ were supposed ‘good’ guys. If so, and they were in the second floor building overlooking the perp’s building, why in hell were they not up at the windows covering the perp’s one story building roof instead of way back in the room? They would have been the necessary deterrence to keep the perp off the lower building roof. Perhaps the plan was to cover the one story building’s roof from the observation post of two story building next door.

““I was looking all around to get law enforcement’s attention before the shots, “

So he wasn’t watching the shooter continuously ...

You know I’m not a conspiracy theorist. I thought JFK was shot by one sniper. But between Vince Foster and Jeffrey Epstein I’m starting to change. This attempted assassination stinks to high heaven. Unless I start getting undeniable facts, I’m leaning to a deep state or a deep democratic hit. Change my mind!

A witness that say he was not looking at the shooter atall times ...

The open window is in the building adjacent to the roof Crooks was on. If someone was in that window, he couldn’t help but see Crooks. Actually, he would also have had a clear view of the stage, too.

Do you know if the snap-thump audio tracks that describe the distinct patterns are from the same recording device?

.
30,000 people make a lot of noise.

If Snipers listened for noises behind them and in the woods, they wouldn’t be snipers for long.

Why didn’t Crooks point his weapon at the crowd pointing at him and getting Police? He ignored them because the training is to focus on the target.

In your photo where were the people standing that took a video of the shooter on the roof?

How many phones were videoing at the moment the shots started ? Hundreds at least. With all of that acoustic data and known locations there will in time be a total understanding of what happened and when.

“You know I’m not a conspiracy theorist. I thought JFK was shot by one sniper. “

I really had no thoughts on the matter until I attended a dinner with David Lifton, author of the book “Best Evidence” on the JFK assassination. He made a very compelling presentation that it was a conspiracy headed by Lyndon Johnson. I’ve read several books on the subject in recent years that further make a compelling case. I recommend “Killing JFK: 50 Years, 50 Lies.”

We are now faced with the same situation where the president and various federal agencies were behind the assassination attempt. The senile child-molesting criminal impostor president even spilled the beans a couple of times.

There are now at least dozens of “Zapruder” films this time and we won’t get a Warren Commission cover up. Will anyone go to jail? I doubt it but many know that a criminal cabal has seized the US government.

_______________________________________
The two story building was not exactly aligned up with the roof line of the single story buildings, but the window visible at the end of the two story building suggests there would be a similar window arrangement on the other end of the building, This end window along with the numerous side windows would have permitted security to visually cover the entire roof surfaces of the lower story buildings. Why on earth the security would be situated back inside and away from these windows is as lame brain dead as saying the roofs of the one story buildings were too steep for security to post.

5.56x45 NATO is .223 Remington

Well....almost. A rifle chambered in 5.56 can fire .223, but the opposite is not recommended.
