>> I do not believe it was possible for a “2nd shooter” sniper to be on top of that water tower on J13

What about half-way up the tower? And does the line-of-sight line up with trajectory forensics? What about analyzing the bullet vapor stream(s) caught on the pro cameras which could certainly help to estimate distance to the gun — assuming the bullets haven’t been discarded for determination of the round type.

The bullets were all from the same rifle.
Unlikely anyone was on the tower itself or the landing as it would be impossible to set up.

• The water tower ladder was never lowered that day. Two local cops, non-ESU officers, were assigned
to be parked in the water tower area as “response” units for traffic issues or whatever. They DID leave
that post, but only in the hour prior to shooting.

• There are videos on the internet showing a dark figure or a shadow on the water tower on J13. If there
had been someone on that tower on J13, it would have to have been some top-shelf operator way
beyond anything I’ve ever actually seen. Regular SWAT operators or snipers would not have the skills
and gear to quickly overcome the first 25 feet of no ladder and then climb the remaining 75 feet to the
catwalk, and then climb the quite intimidating and precarious dome vent access ladder. It is true that
the vent area at the very top of the water tower is the only point that would have allowed a clear line
of sight to both Trump and Crooks’ firing position. I sighted out this fact very carefully during my
hours on the ground at the Butler Farm/AGR/ water tower crime scene area. However, I do not
believe it was possible for a “2nd shooter” sniper to be on top of that water tower on J13, nor have I
seen any evidence that supports the theory of a 2nd shooter. I’m not saying conclusively that there
was no other shooter somewhere or that no other conspirators were involved in J13, but I’m saying
that based on my investigation thus far, there were 10 shots fired on J13, and all shots are accounted
for, and all shots align with their source. Crooks’ 8 shots (3 plus 5), ESU SWAT 1 shot, USSS
southern sniper team 1 shot. Over.

• I will be allowed to climb the tower at some point, perhaps next month, but it’s quite a climb. The
Butler County Water Works directors were very concerned about accommodating my climb, although
they did agree to a later date. I’ll have to return when I can coordinate with their safety team because
we just ran out of daylight, but Butler County Water Works was cooperative, and I got a very close
look at the water tower on Monday, August 5.

Cullen’s latest speculation—and it is just speculation—one more time, speculation is that a shooter was in the trees near the water tower.

His further speculation is that it was a remote controlled weapon...

That is speculation subject to revision, to repeat...

Lol.
