(6/6) The top view of line of sight and the side cut view B-B (on the line of sight of James Copenhaver camera). To correct the line of sigth the north bleacher was corrected 2.5 inches down and 25.2 inches to the East. This is within the margin of error of Google Earth.
Cosidering the ballistics study I did, the drop estimated of 1 inch and drift of 1.5 inches to the east, the correct position would be 0.2 inchesabove the rail and 2.4 inches to the West of David Dutch center line.
For the conclusion, I don’t have evidence of a second shooter, and there is a high possibility that the first bullet came from Crooks position hit Trumps ears and David Dutch.
Did he announce three shots were fired at the time? My understanding is that eyewitnesses were all over the place in estimating the number of shots fired.
I absolutely believe after watching all the evidence and analysis that the Let It Happen appears to be most probable but it cannot explain different echo and noise patterns between shots 1-3 and 4-8. The crime here mostly is how these LEO left their posts for various reasons conicidentally with the kid climbing the roof. Also, who programmed this child to believe this was a good idea and how his dad just happened to have an AR-15 in his home…like we all do…whatever. Who programmed this child and let him on the roof of near building at a Presidential speech.
I can’t say that I see much wrong with that mockup - if your measurement from the podium to the back of the bleachers is right, and if you assume the video hasn’t been altered.
There are a few problems in general with assuming Crooks took the first three shots.
Why would he pause after the first three shots, then fire five shots in quick order, then stop? He had good aim the first three shots, why didn’t the secret service detail have a lot of holes in them?
Apart from Cory Comperatore, where DID bullets 4-8 go?
Why do the two groups sound so different and have different time snap-bang time lags (0.220 vs 0.213 seconds)? Why do the first three shots sound muffled, without an echo and shots 4-8 have an echo?
If you assume a distance of 469 feet (that’s what I get measuring with google Earth) from Crooks to the podium, in order to get a .220 second snap-bang time lag, the muzzle velocity has to be about 2660 fps, assuming the average bullet velocity is 94% of the muzzle velocity and the speed of sound is 1150 fps. That’s slow. For the second set of 5 shots, that muzzle velocity has to be about 2564 fps.
For most of these answers, we’re probably going to have to wait until congress gets back in session and pray Mr. Trump is still alive.
I don’t know the answers to your questions, I’m only modeling the first bullet trajectory.
I’m not affirming that Crooks took the shoot, I’m saying that the trajectory of the first bullet probably hit Trump and David Dutch and came from Crooks position.
There is a possibility that the 2nd bullet also hit David Dutch, due to the closeness of the photo of the 2nd bullet by NYT. James Copenhaver was hit 2 times, there is the bullet that hit the lift in the back and there is Cory Comperatore. That is 6 out off 8.
Some of us here think the guy who took the 9th shot also took the 10th shot. It’d also be great to know where he took the 9th shot from. Can you find out?
do you happen to know what rifle and caliber these people were using?
the blood trail on the roof is consistent with a first shot that injured the man on the roof, but that shot did not kill him (no blood is pumped out when dead).
so, it is very likely that the 9th shot injured him and the 10th shot finished the man off.
well who knows if we ever will. they said almost two dozen bodycameras were released, and the most I’ve seen were 12 uploaded to a DropBox account. so for all we know there could be information out there, we just can’t get access to it.
Thank you so much for posting this. I believe it confirms my belief on who that shooter was based on one of Dave Stewart’s video capturing him 8 minutes earlier than the Jon Malis video. It looks like the same guy to me.

Thank you for sharing this photo.
With the benefit of hindsight, this is probably correct.
Because of the state of the body.
After watching a clip elsewhere - showing the impact from a Sniper Rifle, its absolutely impossible for Crooks to have been hit in the head by one of these Sniper Rifles.
This is because his head would have exploded on impact and would not have been found in the condition it was found in.
Yes, if it’s a process that fails, then it can’t be attributed to anyone person, then in his view, apparently, no one can be blamed. He’s obviously nothing more than a cover your ass kind of guy, and he knows the truth, and in my opinion, he may have lied to Congress which I guess is yet to be proven.
I think it’s also going to be shown that he was the one that denied the kind of Secret Service protection that Trump had requested on many occasions
watching a clip elsewhere of…what? someone on YouTube shooting a watermelon with a 308? a ballistic dummy? a real person? can you be more specific and why you think a 308 would make a head explode?
I don’t think you’re making a very good case here. I don’t know where in his body he was shot, and it looks like he was shot with some conventional weapon, not a weird sniper rifle.

How? Look at the post I’m replying to, he’s saying a persons head would explode being hit by a sniper rifle shot. I just proved him wrong with that video clip.

buddy, are you seriously sitting here trying to tell me that a bolt action rifle and a semi-automatic rifle firing a .308 bullet do different levels of damage? or did the local SWAT team acquire their guns in a video game?
