Fox News ^ | July 16, 2024 | Michael Ruiz, Sarah Rumpf-Whitten

A local law enforcement officer spotted a suspicious man carrying a range-finder "in or just-outside" the venue before former President Donald Trump took the stage at his rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania on Saturday night, according to a law enforcement source.

The officer reported the sighting to state police, the source said. He took a photo, and there was a discussion about whether what he was carrying was a pair of binoculars to try and see the rally better.

The fact that the assassin was employing a range-finder and had gone to “practice” at a firing range (to which he was a member) the indicates he had been planning this for some time. I personally think it likely that he was zeroing the rifle’s sights on that Friday trip to the range.

Water tower 90ft tall, 100yrds East of assassin.

No over watch?

That vantage point easily covers the area

Why is no one talking about this?

Beaver County ESU team spotted the shooter TWICE.

The first time, the counter sniper took a picture and called it into the command center with the picture

The second time, the counter sniper spotted the shooter was 5:45pm. Again he relayed the photo and info.

I started thinking about Jack Reacher visiting the range and it was another shooter that actually hit James Barr’s targets

Not say that applies here - I was just thinking about that

Can’t find it on Youtube right off - it’s always the scene of Reacher shooting the target.

Don’t you zero, or verify zero, on every trip to the range? He could have been dialing it in for a specific range, but with a flat shooter like 5.56, I’m sure it was good for 0-200. I’m not sure how much of DJT he could see, or where he was actually aiming but placing the shot 16” lower would have been a different outcome. Hand of God on DJT.

Uh, no. I don’t think that was the issue at all.

If only there was some way to pull this crook aside and have a meaningful conversation...you know, the way they do at all the other crops at Trump rallies.

Not with Biden’s FBI. With this FBI in charge of the investigation count on them to sweep away all connections to themselves and their buddies/likeminded/etc.
