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-———

Sneak in is probably a bad explanation—no way he could have just walked up and placed it next to the building unnoticed is a better way to say it-—even if it was hours before-—what? nobody is watching what is going on?

The article says he climbed the buildings air conditioning unit to access the roof. Maybe the ladder just belonged there but he didn’t use it.

[Mr Radical]

According to the DM article in the link, they say he didn’t use a ladder but “clambered up [the] building’s air conditioning system.”

The ladder was probably placed against the building after the kid was killed. So the crime scene people wouldn’t all have to get boosted one by one to get to the roof. The original cop who poked his head over the roofline, while holding on to the edge with both hands and had the kid point the rifle at him, lost his grip, fell eight feet to the ground, maybe got a concussion. No point dealing with that risk, now that the kid had expired.

RE: Importance of the ladder....

Prediction: The government agents will “lose” it along with the digital recordings of Secret Service radio messages.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that is fixated on the ladder issue. The “powers that be” are muddying the waters with multiple leaks and stories about the ladder. Whether he used one, the size of the ladder, whether it was already there or brought in, etc. Solve the mystery of the ladder and you answer a lot of questions.

Perhaps the 10 foot ladder is what the police used to get to the roof AFTER the shooting? Standing on top of a 5 foot step ladder would easily allow a fit young man to place his backpack and rifle on the roof and then pull himself up onto the roof.

Bigger question
How did he know he needed a ladder? Did the shooter scope out the area and plan the attack? If no, who planned the attack?

“I think this is a big clue—how could this possibly go unnoticed?”

A tall ladder aside the building that is the most obvious and convenient perch for a shooter. No excuse for not being concerned about that.
