THE gunman who came within inches of assassinating Donald Trump honed his shooting skills on a range just days before the attack....Bill Jenkins, who has spoken to the FBI, told The Sun on Sunday: “I was sitting next to evil. I haven’t been able to sleep thinking about it.”
Crooks, who brought his own 9mm handgun, was such a crack shot on the elite training course that he blew a large hole in a shooting target with a volley of precision rounds....
...Bill and Crooks had signed up to the intermediate handgun-pistol 2 class at Keystone Shooting Centre in Cranberry, Pennsylvania, on June 22.
The range is a 50-minute drive from Crooks’ home in Bethel Park.
Keystone’s website says the course is the next level of handgun training...

I agree that Chris Martenson made some mistakes. Though what where the hollow sounding shots from? I didn’t hear a crack(bullet passing camera) with them. USSS sniper team three near the southern end of the area I’ve not heard any reports if they fired their weapons. I know Team one the team most seen in video never fired a shot. Team two fired one shot that I know of which did kill Crooks
Do you know anything about what a suppressor really does?
*Crooks wasn’t using a hand gun last Saturday.*
True enough. However, for a glimpse into my crazy imagination: 1) the same kid that had ‘hazmat’ pkgs delivered to his home and homemade bombs in at least one vehicle, also had a 3-d printer; 2) and conned his way thru the magnatron with a metal-part-containing rangefinder which could have been bastardized for 3-d gun parts. 3) The murderous little incel had been tracking Trump for months, 4) he looked up the RNC convention, 5) and he had photos of politicians besides Trump on his phone. Making a 3-d printed or actual handgun would be just as likely as a long gun for his plan A or plan B, ergo the handgun training.
What the Hispanic kid said over this exchange (done in 2016...so he would have been around 14/15)...the Hispanic kid should assume the natural Democratic position...because all Hispanics support the Democratic Party. Crooks was already preconditioned at this point for a natural hatred, without reason.
I would go and suggest that all this ‘bully-chatter’ that we’ve heard about...really was a conversational problem that Crooks had...that he could only associate/hangout....with like-minded people.
Almost like a cult-upbringing...where you can only live alongside other cult-members.
Is there proof he used a
suppressor? Show me.
False conclusion.
If Trump hadn't moved ever so slightly, the shooter would have hit dead center.
Crooks was perfectly sighted on the right side profile of Trump's head.
At the same moment Crooks fired, Trump turned his head sharply to the right - almost face to face with Crooks - and lowered his chin, to speak directly to that part of his audience.
The bullet skimmed the right side of Trump's face and clipped his upper ear.
Trump dropped to the floor almost instantly after he was hit, so no second shot.
One mystery still not resolved...
Why did Crooks wait almost 8 minutes before taking his first shot?
My own speculation - I think the extreme right side of the grandstand obstructed Crooks view. I think Crooks had to wait until people started sitting down before he had a clear shot.
I disagree. His first shot would have nailed Trump in his head killing him instantly. This shot was based on a careful steadied aim with the flight characteristics of the round at that range taken into consideration. Trump moving his head the instant the trigger was pulled spoiled this perfect shot.
Subsequent shots were taken without the opportunity of a careful aim while people were panicking and moving around.
Many of us have AR15’s and know 130 yards with a careful aim is not that challenging. The same applies to many other rifles. Joe Six Pack, the deer hunter that shoots just once a year, could have made that shot.
I’ve never seen a picture of Crooks’ rifle. It would be interesting to see if it were in fact an AR15, the barrel length, sights used, etc. It may not have been an AR15 as to lefty loonies anything scary looking is an assault rifle.
There’s the idea of culpable negligence, for instance a guard who falls asleep on picket duty. I do not think there’s been any evidence of culpable or criminal negligence, just sheer incompetence and lassitude.
When these things happen now and the anons on the Chans get underway diggin up all things, there are actors now who throw disinformation in front of them much like an escaping plane will drop chaffe to confuse the missiles to keep them off the trail.
Several in this case. The gun club, the 5’ ladder, second shooter on the tower, Dept of Agriculture van, short trades on Rumble and Truth by a Cheney brokerage, the transmitter and IED stuff, registered Republican.
The
“I’m gonna guess that there are many more videos where the audio could be extracted and analysed.”
About mid-week, someone posted a request for all attendees who had videos or stills from the rally to submit them for review. I don’t believe the request was from the government, but media. Could’ve been James O’Keefe at OMG.
He could be a good shot, but the pressure of the moment affected his performance. Lying in the prone position on a slanted, metal roof, one could imagine his elevated blood pressure, pulse, etc. as he prepared to kill the former President of the United States.
There is also the possibility that he was a patsy and the real assassin was somewhere else.
There is also the possibility that he was a patsy and the real assassin was somewhere else.
I would also speculate that it was a very warm day with the rooftop being quite hot. I'm sure that didn't help his shooting position especially if he had not thought that through and planned accordingly.
Needless to say, Crooks' current location is a whole lot hotter. He tried to smoke Trump, but who is smoking now?
Crooks ain’t the only one who fired. Haven’t you heard there were snipers in the building Crooks was on? Crooks was just the bag man.
Well, this sounds a whole lot less scary than Deep States, plural, using patsies to cover for their hit squad, doesn’t it...
And Crooks couldn’t have arranged for all the other timely things that had to happen for him to be allowed on that roof, could he...
The rooftop was saved for Crooks to be on. God only knows what Crooks was promised, how he would be set for life if he would be on that roof shooting at DJT etc.
There were three shots, then five quick shots, and then one shot.
If he was a flaming nutter, they might not have needed to promise him anything.
True believers make the best patsies.
But they’re still only patsies.
And I’ll make you a prediction, if we ever get to the bottom of what really happened, we will find out that ours was not the only Deep State involved.
And that the timing of the CrowdStrike cluster foxtrot was not a coinkydink.
