"Something's wrong. I know I shouldn't do this. I'm risking an awful lot to go up against this FBI, the MAGA FBI. Something's very wrong with what I just heard. I mean, I watched it. I was hoping that they had caught the bastard who shot Charlie. So we saw a video of a person jumping off the roof. It looked very legitimate to me. However, there was no rifle in his hand.
"Now, the Mauser does not break down very easily. Incidentally, for those of you who know weapons, something's wrong with the whole thing. They're trying to claim he removed the barrel from the Mauser and fit the receiver and stock in his backpack and barrel in his pants, like, all in two seconds. It is not easy to remove a Mauser barrel or index it after reinstalling and remain accurate.

IMO, that was not a backpack he was carrying, why not put it on his back, it takes no time, you can do that running across the roof, he was definitely carrying a long rifle
This is the right answer. He did have the Rifle.
I do not know the significance of the 3 slash arrows.
Is this another Portland thing?
Conspiracy?
I believe the Mauser was a plant. Why would someone carry a rifle a ways just to drop it later. Why not just leave it.
The actual shooter may have used a single shot rifle which is easily disassembled into three pieces with an overall length of 20-22 inches. New England Firearms SB2 which comes in many calibers including 30-06. Is one example.
I saw him set something down that appeared to flap like a towel. Then straddle the edge of the roof. Then jump down with it.
If you watch a slowed down version of the video, when he is about to descend from the roof, he turns his back to the camera that is recording him, he’s wearing the backpack and holding the rifle, to me it’s clear as day.
I agree this whole thing stinks, but this is one conspiracy that can be quashed immediately.
Correct and if you watch a slowed down version of the video, he’s wearing the backpack, while holding the gun.
“How did he have time to take it apart?”
Practice.
There was a gun in the bag, why have the bag otherwise. I doubt the perp was worrying about bringing home his books to study. I have heard no evidence that the supposedly found Mauzer rifle is actually the kill weapon. If it exists, the bullet that killed CK has to be found and see if it matches the gun. There are other type guns that brake down fast that could have been used.
Watch this version of the video, stop it at exactly the 1:10 second spot, you can see he’s wearing the backpack, advance the video you can see he’s carrying the gun.

The real shooter is either out of the country,
or six feet under.

According to Andy Ngo, the three slashes (arrows) are a signal of support for trans-ANTIFA. If that was what was engraved on the casings, then it is another sign this was a ANTIFA assassination.
savage is wrong
the perp is wearing the backpack when he goes over the edge of the building
he is carrying the rifle covered with a towel
If you go to the fbi video, set it at the highest resolution and speed at .25, and view it on a big screen, you can step through it and see that after he lands on the ground, the rifle gets uncovered and you can see a long dark object, that he works to cover with the towel

additional info I’ve seen - he ran across the street, where they are doing some work and people doing exclavation talk to him and told him he couldn’t be there.
he disappeared into the woods, came out without the rifle, and went into the neighborhood.
the woods is where the rifle was found.
info filtered from tons of garbage I’ve seen about the incident.
AI Overview
The symbol of three red downward-pointing arrows inside a red circle is the insignia of the Iron Front (Eiserne Front). It originated in 1932 in Germany as a militant anti-Nazi, anti-monarchist, and anti-communist organization.
The Three Arrows (German: Drei Pfeile) is a political symbol associated with the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), used in the late history of the Weimar Republic. First conceived for the SPD-dominated Iron Front as a symbol of the social democratic resistance against Nazism in 1932, it became an official symbol of the Party during the November 1932 German federal election, representing their opposition towards monarchism, Nazism, and communism.[1]
No longer needed a weapon when he was in the trees and in the clear.
Antifa
Savage:
He left the rifle behind, you conspiracy theory addled nitwit!

Not enough info given out for online sleuths to figure out anything very well. It took them over a day to release video which they must have had 3 hrs after despicable murder.
They must have better info. Gun found could have been a plant.
I might be attributing better powers to investigating agencies but I believe they have way more info than they are exposing. The release of selective non specific info might be a ploy to coax other possible co-conspirators to move. Why would any investigative unit tell everybody what they know so early on? With space based info gathering devices available they must have a better lead than they are admitting. Hope I am correct....
FBi DIrector Christopher Wray told Congress for years that there is no such thing as Antifa.
Under Oath.
With a tape measure, i checked whether the length the rifle probably was could likely be concealed. Barrel down the pants to about knee level would still allow some mobility while the stock end of the rifle could be concealed under a t-shirt. The sling would have to have been adjusted for it to hang right. The stock wouldn’t have to be under the t-shirt. I can’t see the video well enough to see if it was done that way, but i think it would be possible.
That still leaves the question of why he would take it with him if he was going to abandon it later. Maybe thought he could get away with the rifle but then decided he better not risk it?
I do not think the guy was a pro, just a decent shot with a rifle.
yep.
1- it’s a hindrance to escape/evasion in an urban or wooded environment
2- it draws attention
3- they’re cheap enough from estate/yard sales to be disposable
4- they’re old enough there’s not likely to be any serial number records - non-traceable
5- the shooter and his team WANTED to leave multiple messages (the marked up ammo, the gun itself reinforces the left’s “Its EZ to buy a SNIPER rifle!” hysteria)
that in seconds from my pre-caffeinated 0530 HRS brain.
I’m sure I can come up with a lot more in a few minutes. How about you?
