I just posted this on a different thread, but I'm going to post it here too.

Here's one of the pictures at your link.


 


In front of the alley where the ladder is located, there are four bushes/trees.   The color of the ground in front of those trees is different from the color of the rest of the ground there.   Could this indicate that those trees were recently planted there for some nefarious reason?

It seems like an odd grouping of trees, and it also seems like an odd place to put trees, in front of an alley like that.   Take a look at it, and see what you think.

The trees didn’t stop dozens from seeing him scale the building and start low crawling on the roof.

That is odd.

Well, Google streetview shows that the trees were there at least as far back as Nov. 2023. (As well as the brown rectangular patch.)

Nah, just normal Juniper “tree” landscaping...those look to be at least 30 years old. Also, they were there last year:

I am no landscaping expert, but the gray colored ground cover appears to be creek stones, and the brown colored ground cover appears to be mulch. creek stones can be used (for example) to reduce gopher damage, and mulch can be used to allow watering of junipers by falling rainwater. both can be used to inhibit weed growth.

good carch and the trees had a space big enough for a person to pass but still hide the area

Pine needles?

it is good to question everything

however there were witnesses who saw him go up the ladder with the rifle

the witnesses were pointing him out to the local cops and secret service - who chose to ignore them

Some kind of mulch??

The other trees have it, too.

That’s an older brown mulch nothing more. Mulch is commonly used to keep weeds and grasses down.

Interesting observation. However, according to Google Maps “StreetSide View,” the bushes/trees were in place as of November 2023.
