I was about to say you posted it, but it was Tiger Claws. I get you two mixed up.

Anyway, it’s pretty funny. Kinda sad too, really...

They had 20 minutes!

They knew the shooter was on the Roof for 20 minutes - and they sent Trump out into the cross-hairs.

This is not even disputed.

Yes, the guy was on the roof. Yes, he had a rifle. But do we know he shot those rounds? Or was he more of a patsy? Do the ballistics line up from his position on the roof?

Let's say the have the ballistics and evidence that he shot the rounds. Will you believe the evidence or just go the next step and say "why should we believe them, they lie all of the time?". Its a valid point you would bring up but where does it stop?

I have a theory (don’t we all): That is that the agents, Deep State, whomever, allowed the kid to do all the set up, investigation, buying supplies, etc. The kid thought he was certainly going to carry out the hit. They (alphabets) knew everything about him and expected him to go there, set him up in fact, BUT they put someone in the building to take the actual shot as insurance. God turned Trump’s head.

What is weird is the SS spotted him on the roof 20 min before the shooting and instead of checking it out some local cops end up being flagged down and do it themselves.
Why was it local cops and not SS staff?

Oh sweetie, you actually believe the attempted assassination was the work of just a 20 year old?

It’s unbelievable, what is happening right now. I don’t recognize my country. There’s a hatred afoot that’s truly demonic. I pray daily for the safety of President Trump.

Local Cops don’t fire into the ground, SS still sends Trump into cross-hairs, and the Command Post round filed all warnings and pictures from the entire day.

They were determined, they weren’t going to see a threat.

The First Threat they spotted was day Six, and it was a Republican Senator they banned from the venue (Hawley).

Drone solution: hold the rallies indoors in more controlled environments.

Crooks lived at home. What, exactly, did his parents think he was up to?

Your post #242 is true, I believe. How can this be explained? So, it they’d had 30 minutes warning, they would have pulled him?

“...wondering more about the azimuth angle...”

The shooter’s body, backpack and rifle were near the east end of the low building. (Trump’s podium is east of the main crowd). From what I can tell from Google Earth that would have the shot going pretty much parallel to the front of the podium which matches (as far as I can tell) a shot at Trump. Although the big screen is a factor which I can’t tell from the various photos.

And it is probably just the idiot media, but they are all showing the shooter’s location as being near the WEST end of the building. That does appear to be where he was when the cell phone video saw him and the people are pointing.

And I thought he climbed up on the east side of the building. I guess he could have crawled to the west end trying for a better shot, but then moved back east for what ever reason. To be behind the tree so the snipers couldn’t see him?

I don’t know. I guess if he had 20 minutes to hang out on the roof he could do whatever he wanted to.
