The video comes to my attention via the Twitter Account of Tony Seruga. The video appears to capture Thomas Crooks walking through the vendor section of the Butler rally at approximately 4:26pm, about one and a half hours before he began shooting.
If the 4:26pm time is accurate, this is interesting because President Trump was initially scheduled to begin speaking at 5:00pm.

Any mother’s child knows that these VIP speakers are never “on time” by intention—to throw off and detect the early bird snipers.
He looks in pretty good shape for a geek. Wonder what kind of training he had?
All geeks are different.
He looks like he might have done a lot of biking. Many geeks are into trail biking.
Is your son trained by the FB I?
If you blow up a screenshot of the guy he’s following - who online discussion pegs as ‘a fed’ - on his left hip something is both riding above his waistband (visible shirt bulge) and extending 3/4 down his thigh inside of his pants (visible pants bulge).
Any competent security staff - not to mention LEO or USSS - would flag this individual IMMEDIATELY...assuming that he wasn’t USSS (or other fed) himself.
‘About 4:26 PM” is when he was walking in the vendor area.
From another article 4:26 PM is when :
July 13, 2024 4:26 PM : (Beaver County sniper alerts) When a Beaver County sniper finished his shift and left the building the shooter would use, he noticed the suspect at a picnic table and alerted other officers in a group chat at 4:26 p.m.
“Someone followed our lead and snuck in and parked by our cars,” he texted. “He knows you guys are up there.”
In that clip, he sure doesn’t look like the scrawny, nerdy kid in the other photos. He looks like a typical 20-year-old man.
It wasn’t Crooks on the roof and he had an appointment elsewhere.
“He looks in pretty good shape for a geek.”^
IF he’s a geek, what happened to his social media and links to others on his cellphone?
When will the FIBs release that data?
does anyone have the pic (or pics) of the “shooter” being dragged off the roof?
there’s one where his arm is extended. i remember it seemed too thick for the guy usually shown in photos, though that may have been because those photos were when he was much younger.
He works on Nuclear Subs...in Groton Ct
Here's a few seconds from the 10 second video posted by Tony Seruga.

yes, 4.26pm Crooks was, allegedly, at the picnic table.
watch from 4m10s:
Video: 37m: Chris Martenson: Was This A LEO Failure Or Something Worse?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t0xTd8xoKU
at 7m10s, Martenson shows pics from the video we’re discussing, and says that was, apparently, earlier in the day.
That’s the best he looked all day
Martenson also states 5.48pm being the time when the internet goes down. says, basically, make of that what you will.
sure seems convenient.
it would be great if someone who was online at the rally could verify if their connection stopped at 5.48pm, or if someone from the rally could show stuff they filmed at that time, or thereafter.
