Yeah, as I said on another thread:

Those ladders aren’t light and they’re unwieldy to handle unless you are used to them. The shooter didn’t look to be muscular enough to handle one very efficiently. Just his trying to get the ladder up and in place should have drawn attention.

Also, where did he get the ladder. They said he drove a car and I can’t see him bringing it with him. Heck those ladders are about too much for a standard pickup.

Was the ladder on site? How did he know it was there? How did he move it from where it was stored to the side of the building without being noticed. I just don’t see how this was a “one guy” job.

Haw, these newish multi position 18 ft ladders are less than $200 and less than 50 lbs, some brands have wheels. Hell the Harbor freight version on sale is $100.

Another question is why his father bought him an automatic rifle six months ago.

I am a short female and regularly carry an aluminum extension ladder that is 10 foot when not extended. It fits in my truck just fine, only sticks out the back end over the tailgate two feet.
If an older lady like me can do it to clean people’s gutters a young man of 20 should find it easy. But doing it without being seen us another matter, if there was anyone stationed over at that building, as there should have been.
The ladder was probably there already, either as part of the site’s equipment or brought by the shooter or a helper days before, but it would have been on the side of the building away from the view of people at the rally.

These are almost like the questions that got Alex Jones ‘in trouble’ about SandyHook.

But every one of your questions are legitimate!
