This ladder looks most like the one at the scene:

This is a Hyundia Sonata:

This looks to be at least a 10' ladder:

The story is still not coherent.

Where do you see all that explained?

Read post 54 again, you are reading he bought a 5 foot ladder and then you see a picture of a 10 or 12 foot ladder and you are building a story, we don’t know the details about the ladders yet.

Those ladders are heavy! There’s no way that scrawny 20 year old basement boy carried that, and his shooting gear from the van to the building,& set it up without being seen.

“The one in the picture looks like it’s aluminum.”

Aluminums are silver throughout. This step ladder has red sides. IOW a fiberglass step ladder with aluminum rung steps. The fiberglass ladders are heavier and more expensive than aluminums and are typically used for electrical work. Not something someone could easily carry long distances. The ladder almost certainly came from inside the building.

This story and the MSM reporting stink to high heaven.

Additionally, the shooter’s corpse shows heavy cupping on the outer ear and deformed teeth. Possible fetal alcohol syndrome or severe drug usage during pregnancy. A shooter with an obscured identity? Some homeless guy shown how to shoot then put in place to do the deed? Then a media-fake distraction to Crooks?

Could be the bullet through his head caused some deformity, but I noticed the inbred hillbilly look also.

“According to him, crooks was spotted 30 minutes before, but they lost track of him.“

Yet, they somehow have the technology to track down folks who were in n a crowd of tens of thousands on Jan 6, 2021…

“The kid obviously deleted his search history & scrubbed social posts.”

The FBI obviously deleted his search history and scrubbed social posts.

What I am saying is the news makers are lying.

Who are you going believe? Them or your lying eyes?

No discovery on the true facts. We hear AR 15 platform but caliber, optics or iron sites have never been mentioned. Nothing in the news makes any sense except that this person had help both physically and information. Feels like the Las Vegas shooting .

Why are we arguing over what size the ladder was??

There’s a clear photo in post #44. THERE it is..

Now, there’s NO WAY that he carried that from a parking area without security and cops seeing.

If he didn’t carry it there, WHO put it there and WHO left it there for him???
Security used it prior and just “forgot” about it?? Yeah, right…

The kid didn’t SCRUB his social media..

    Implausible he put this assassination operation together by himself; this conspiracy theory thought crossed my mind
  1. He was recruited and trained
  2. Was he involved with antiIsrael movement?
  3. Is this an Iranian deep operation using throwaway American because President Trump took out Soleimani ?

Ok, i now believe the ladder in the photos was used before and after the shooting to gain access to the roof where they should have been. We don't know that crooks used this ladder, and reports are that he uses an ac unit to gain roof access. Take a look at this picture from another thread (supposedly that is crooks talking with an officer) but what I noticed was the AC unit on this side which looks like you could climb on to gain access on the opposite side from where the ladder was
