“Almost murdered....”. You did hear that vaxxed and multi boostered joementia contracted another case (alledgedly) of CONvid that same week....... IIRC some of the lame stream tried to sell that crap.

And still ANOTHER version of what is claimed to have happened in Butler, PA.

We can expect even more versions until what really happened is buried under the volumes of fairy tales about the event.

It was a hit. Trump went down so the overwatch thought that Crooks had made a fatal headshot. At that point they did what they planned to do no matter what and eliminated Crooks.

[Sacajaweau]

Do they have the bullets from shots 9 & 10?

Do we have audio of ALL 10 shots?

Sadly I think you are right. Very scary

[Who is John Galt?]

... The shot is also believed to have disabled the rifle’s buffer tube, a critical component in the weapon’s cycling function...

One reason I like the CAV-15:

[riverrunner]

He has criticized the FBI, for instance, for releasing Crooks’ body for cremation before it could be thoroughly examined.

He accused the FBI of cleaning up “biological evidence” at the scene,

How long to you hold onto a body and how long should you wait to clean a crime scene up.

I haven’t heard one word from that dufos acting SS director after 3 weeks ago he said he would immediately make all the SS agents there that day available to the senate for questioning.

Why the news blackout on any further developments?

[The_Media_never_lie]

The American public already knows, however, that security failure abounded at the Trump rally that day.

____________

This was not a security failure. This was a SS stand down and should be investigated as such. Too many coincidences.

[Manic_Episode]

Have they cremated the weapon and released the ashes for disposal yet?

[Red Badger]

The ninth shot fired that day came from a SWAT team member from Butler County. It did not kill Crooks but struck the stock of his rifle and “fragged his face/neck/right shoulder area from the stock breaking up.” The shot is also believed to have disabled the rifle’s buffer tube, a critical component in the weapon’s cycling function.

Maybe that was all the SWAT member was trying for..................

[hardspunned]

8 shots, 8 shots, Then 9 shots, 9 shots, Now 10 shots, 10 shots. DC is horrible at cover up but who is ballsy enough to really challenge their lies?

[FLT-bird]

Yep. It was not a “security failure”. It was complicity.

[TStro]

Exactly what I believe
Did the last shot come from the water tower?
Shortly after the shooting I saw video from someone in front of Trump which captured the water tower. There was obviously someone on top of the water tower, walking around and behind the white “bullet” on top of the water tower.
Someone reported there was a zip line from the top of the water tower to the trees behind it. There was (reported) department of agriculture vehicle parked at the end of the zip line which was used to make an exit
I haven’t been able to see that post by a private individual since
The person on top of the water tower was just a dark shape at that distance.

Oh, wait:

What happened to the multiple shooters???

/s

[logi_cal869]

More importantly, do we still have the rifle, or did the fibby destroy that evidence, too?

[DesertRhino]

When will they ever stop using the silly term “operator”.

My mom was an operator. We have a bumper crop of people out there with a James Bond complex.

[Sacajaweau]

I’m sure we have the rifle and the casings....and plenty of DNA....
