TRUMP RALLY GUNMAN Seen Opening Fire ... AND GETTING KILLED SECONDS LATER
TMZ ^ | 7/34/24 | staff

Posted on 07/14/2024 8:57:18 AM PDT by CFW

The Trump rally gunman was laid out on his belly, took aim and fired shots into the crowd before he got met with incoming bullets that killed him ... and TMZ has it all on video.

We've obtained an incredible clip that shows the moment the gunman opened fire at the Butler, PA rally Saturday -- and you can see the guy looking through either a scope or iron sights on a roof ... with people watching down below and freaking out, their panic palpable.

The guy has longer brown hair, and he seems to be wearing a grey shirt/khaki pants -- and as you can see, he's carefully trying pinpoint a target from afar before pulling the trigger.

The cameraman, Michael Difrischia, panned back to the gunman after the retaliating rounds could be heard ... and sure enough, you see the gunman laying there limp and lifeless. You can hear someone off-camera say, "That's exactly why we need f***ing Trump here."

Yeah it seemed like the police blew it more than SS. Red hair guy said he was telling the police for minutes that they saw him crawl up. They acted like they were clueless. No reason to not have police on a roof a football field away from Trump with a clear shot.

TRUMP RALLY GUNMAN Seen Opening Fire ... AND GETTING KILLED SECONDS LATER

So, was it supposed to be minutes later? I think they should have plugged him before he took the first shot. However, without divulging my life experiences, the SS team was set up all wrong. It's no wonder they were slow in reacting.

FBI asked for all videos to be given yo them... they will end up where many of the Dallas 22/11/1963 photos and films went.

So cameraman watched him do it. But secret service couldn’t

And how did the shooter know that particular roof would be unguarded?

And how did he get a weapon of any size in or near the rally?

Shooter taken out within seconds, headshot no questioning. The only way that happens is if they knew he was there. They waited until he got the shots off, this was a hit.

Actually, an experienced rifleman would be faster than that. With the weapons they had, 150 yds was nothing. They should be able to see the color of his eyes. For other reasons, I think it was an intentional blunder.

FFS.....TMZ adds “graphic warning” to the video and then they blur-out the perp. I wanted to see his face blown in !

The clip yesterday of the police sharpshooter.

He and spotter look up, wait a second, the police shooter shoots - you see the recoil - waits - cluster of shots heard from the assassin - camera moves - more shots heard from the police sharpshooter - assassin dead.

Am I wrong in my interpretation?

I think the first shot was fired by the police, missed, which allowed the assassin to shoot, very accurately given that he’d been shot at.

There was a Daily Mail thread here yesterday with the video, I posted, I can’t find my post.

“The SS snipers waited for the assassin to shoot and only then shot him to eliminate the witness.”


I’m convinced this is more likely than not. The shooter was convinced he was going to climb down that ladder just as unimpeded as he climbed up it. He thought his handlers “had his back” and he was doing the world a favor. He would be a hero who saved democracy but then whisked away to live forever in anonymity and protected by the deep state.

The shooter had “explosives” in his car? That is a classic sign of FBI involvement (they do love their explosives when it comes to setting up a narrative).

My other question is: Nobody in that crowd had a handgun? He would be a doable shot from the camera angle. Even if I missed the first few, if I could get him to stand up on that roof, I would have him.

And how did he carry that long ladder and get it into place without being noticed?

Video at Conservative Treehouse of police sharpshooter. I think police fired first shot but did not take him out, assassin shoots twice, then cluster of police shots heard.

The founder/owner of TMZ is a gay, Jewish lawyer, so probably a liberal.

Harvey Levin was a Trump supporter in 2016. Sometime is 2018, Levin stopped supporting Trump.

It’s too bad the TMZ logo had to float around in the center of the video the whole time and fog things up.

Now CNN is reporting that security and the cops talked to the shooter for acting strangely...prior to rally at fairgrounds ..... just now reported...it’s getting worse..

So, they pegged him as being strange, spoke with the shooter, but then failed to keep an eye on his actions?

Maybe it’s just me ... but when I’m shooting a scoped rifle from prone, I turn my hat around so the bill doesn’t bump the scope. I’m amazed that the prone guy in back can see anything.

“They acted like they were clueless.”

But they were handed a major clue. They were not clueless; they just refused to act. They may have pretended to be clueless.
