Maybe he never took the receipt out of his pants pocket when he made the purchase, and wore the same pants to the event. I'm more interested in what day he carried that ladder into the park. Was it a day or two before the rally, or did he carry it in on the 13th? And if it was brought in a day or two earlier, why didn't law enforcement find it when they searched the area in the days ahead of the rally, or on what should have been regular rounds to secure the site on the day the rally was occurring? You don't make one round and clear the site. You have to make periodic rounds to make sure the site remains secure up to, and through the rally.

If he brought the ladder in on the 13th, and nobody noticed him or stopped him, it wasn't a coincidence. It was deliberate. And how does a civilian fly a private drone over what is supposed to be a secured site two hours before the rally began? To me that's proof that no law enforcement on the ground gave two shits about securing the site, or were told to stand down. Anybody that has been involved in security, securing sites, searching grounds looking for potential problems, etc., would not have missed the obvious.

The story says that he bought the ladder on the 8th. There are maybe a half dozen Home Depots closer to Bethel Park than the one in Butler. There’s also at least one on the way to Clairton.
