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.

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

This is part of the FBI's "limited hangout" strategy. They will continue sprinkle truths and falsehoods to the public in order to mislead and distract us. The story of Crooks purchasing a five-foot ladder from Home Depot on the morning of the shooting has been one of the more far-fetched concoctions from the FBI so far.

Crooks didn't carry a 12-foot ladder through a metal detector, nor did he strap that ladder on the roof of his Hyundai Sonata. The ladder was ready for the shooter when he arrived at the building and it was the last thing he needed to prepare or think about.
