Pennsylvania State Police Lieutenant Colonel George Bivens conveyed that authorities "do not believe it was a lone wolf attack." These words signal that the 20-year-old attacker most likely had accomplices.

That's why I don't blame the sniper for not shooting first. It was probably just as incomprehensible to him as it is to us that anyone could be positioned on that roof who wasn't part of the security team.
Hertz.
“Those ladders aren’t light and they’re unwieldy to handle unless you are used to them. The shooter didn’t look to be muscular enough to handle one very efficiently. Just his trying to get the ladder up and in place should have drawn attention”
Haw, these newish multi position 18 ft ladders are less than $200 and less than 50 lbs, some brands have wheels. Hell the Harbor freight version on sale is $100.
They showed a video when shooting was happening and they took the still shot of him taking aim from that. Then a still shot from after it was over and shooter was dead. Then I see a up close and personal picture of his head and it’s high definition. Looked like it was taken from up close. But was a zoomed in shot from the still frame that is fuzzy if we try to zoom in.
There was a ladder... the ladder a cop climbed.
It isn’t clear if it was a ladder the cops found and used to get up there or if it was there all along.
The perp could have put himself in position a day or so ahead of time and pulled a ladder up with him so as to not draw suspicion.
Or, climbed up a ladder he brought for the purpose and propositioned.
Or used one that has already been there.

Another question is why his father bought him an automatic rifle six months ago.
I believe that the gun may have been hidden under a roof panel placed on top of the insulation.
This would be easy with that style of roof…just a couple of missing screws would do it.
I read that some people saw him carrying a rifle on the ground so….
Pure speculation by me….guilty.
All the publicly accessible info on the kid has been scrubbed. by who?
Those are the first two to testify. If there is to be a trial. Maybe a firmly worded post card. Nothing new. They all have TDS.
Here is the Harbor freight version, goes on sale all the time $100-$120. I have it and easily drag (no wheels) it around at age 65.
“Haw, these newish multi position 18 ft ladders are less than $200 and less than 50 lbs, some brands have wheels. Hell the Harbor freight version on sale is $100.”
When I first got mine (yes, HF), it was an awkward and clumsy deal trying to get it positioned correctly, like a 10 minute struggle. Hope the neighbors weren’t watching!
That implies there's at least one more on the loose.
3 shots by the perp. Vid closer to the building he was on definitely has the next 5 with a much different power (louder), acoustic signature (including echo), and rate.
As for your last question, it appears the Biden Admin’s woke incompetence has soaked into the SS. Lack of enough agents likely didn’t help, but that still doesn’t explain no local LEO’s on the roof. It’s not like there were not plenty of local agencies / dept’s to draw from. I’ll bet there are 100 within a 50 mile radius.
Bullied kid with issues : the perfect choice for 1960s style assassination patsies. Used also in the 80s for Reagan. Very traditional.
Gun could have been propositioned when the ladder was. A day or more before.
Even he could have been propositioned a day before.
bttt
and yet the secret service does not push Trump down or in any way act to protect him.
= = =
Oh, I love your observation.
Even if someone thought they had to wait to ‘return fire’, the others should have surely protected Trump.
Even if they only came up to his chest.
The Oswald...er, I mean....Crooks acted alone, will be tough story to promote if the government keeps so many facts totally under wraps. Covering the Secret Service’s rear ends could look like stories are true.
We are fortunate there weren’t accomplices in the crowd or a bomb set off somewhere nearby. Crooks had explosives in the van. Why?
For MSN to put this out is a pretty BFD.
