The media is saying a five foot ladder. The pictures show it’s closer to 10 feet or possibly a little taller. Who is lying? The media or the picture?
Did you read post 54?
Why would you think that saying he bought a 5 foot ladder has anything to do with the 12 foot ladder against that building, or that that the 12 footer was there before the shooting, we don’t know the details about any ladders or even how he got on the roof.
We don’t even know that he took the ladder to the rally, you are creating a story in your head.
