It emerged on Tuesday that the killer penetrated the security area of the rally a full three hours before carrying out his attack, after driving the 50 miles north from his home in Bethel Park on the southern outskirts of Pittsburgh.
At 3pm he triggered a metal detector as he tried to gain access to the site, and was found to be carrying a rangefinder – a gun sight typically used by hunters and marksmen preparing to shoot at distance.
But security officers allowed him in while keeping an eye on him until he left the secure area a short time later, the official said.
He then fell off the radar until shortly before 5.45pm when an officer with the Beaver County Police Department saw him acting suspiciously near the outer perimeter and took a photograph.

Reports are stating that earlier that day, he bought a 5-foot ladder and 50 rounds of ammunition, insinuating that is the ladder he brought to the venue. There is no way a 5-foot ladder was tall enough to reach that roofline.

Van versus Hyundai Sonata.
The Van was parked there that day very close to the Rally and in the afternoon. So, if Crooks drove a Sonata, someone else at the Rally abandoned their vehicle, and in coincidence number 96, Police reacted like it had an explosive inside after they opened it?
I don’t understand the point of a 5ft ladder? Was that possibly to get to the roof of a big Van?
Thanks
[The ladder thing is what is the most intriguing to me—
I have heard it was a 3 to 5 foot step ladder purchased at home depot the Morning of the shooting, but have seen pictures of what appears to be a 10 foot ladder on the side of the building.
what exactly is the story with the ladder? I think this is a big clue—how could this possibly go unnoticed? NO WAY this was not a slip up IF it was a large cumbersome ladder-—too big to hide and sneak in-———]
If only he used the wrong pronouns or misgendered somebody they would have been right on him.
I saw that article earlier as well about the Home depot ladder purchase———the link you provided to the discussion with the sniper and the ladder sums up my thinking as well.
Common sense really—I was a building contractor and worked in construction for 40 years—there is NO WAY you simply walk around with a 8 to 10 foot ladder unnoticed! LOL!
No matter what you do it is awkward and cumbersome—there is no way to be sneaky and flighty——ain’t gonna happen.
You look awkward and stick out like a sore thumb lugging it around-—everyone can see you moving it around-—no way to be stealth—LOL
RE: The real question is how did he get the 8 foot ladder and rifle past security?
And as I’ve asked several times now, how did bystanders not think it was notable that a dork like him was carrying a ladder and a rifle not far from a Trump rally.
1930s gangsters in movies used to say they were going fishing (in their suits and dress shirts and ties) and carrying rods, or they were musicians so were carrying instrument cases.
Simple. When security asked his name he said “nutso gun guy who wants to kill Trump.” They said “ go right in.”
I posted about the air conditioner yesterday in another thread and was corrected numerous times by the ladder brigade.
Inside job and Crooks was their lackey.
Ha.
Lee Harvey Oswald said his wrapped up long item he carried was a set of blinds he was going to install at home.
Worse was Jeffrey Dahmer, stopped for weaving in the lane by two Ohio police officers who asked what was in the large plastic garbage bag on the back seat of the car. He said he did yard work for his parents and those were clippings and he was going to take them to the dump. They let him go. It contained a victim’s body parts.
Had not heard that, but I would sure like to know, also!
RE: Importance of the ladder....
Prediction: The government agents will “lose” it along with the digital recordings of Secret Service radio messages.
“remember to let the patsy into the perimeter”
.
He bought a ladder the day of, and he bought Ammo at a gun store.
Are you telling me the SS pays so poorly he was washing windows somewhere?
.
Thank you!
What did Jeffrey Dahmer say to Lorena Bobbitt?
“Are you going to eat that?”
Absolutely! Thats already been done__we know this. That is the truly maddening and frightening thing——our “Government” is our worse enemy. Those placed to protect and serve us are doing the exact opposite- for the most part———
The ladder........a big part of the ‘puzzle”, not sure “exactly” what the story is but it is a big piece of the story—no doubt.
Now I am reading about a second shooter in the water tower...possibly different sniper taking out shooter....too much——hard to follow. I think thats the point of ALL this overload of “information”, so much you cannot really tell what is going on—and WE ALL KNOW the Feds are not gonna tell us anything real or truthful-—
Did I say he didn’t buy a ladder? Perhaps he had second thoughts about dragging the ladder to the building and hopped on top of the air conditioner unit.
If he did lean a ladder against the building why didn’t the cop climb the ladder instead of being pushed onto the roof by another cop?
