FBI Releases Trump Shooter Rifle/Backpack Photos: Analysis
FBI Pics: Trump Shooter’s Rifle Too Big For Backpack?
That’s a non issue. He could throw it in at diagonal angles and leave it partially unzipped so part of it was out. There’s no closeups of him with the backpack, so we don’t know if anything was poking out.

Incidentally there is no photo of him with backpack. Or maybe intentionally?

this article discusses doug mills’ fraudulent image too:
the length of the streak in the photo appears to be around as long as Trump’s head is tall. Assuming he has an average-size head, that’s 18–20 cm.
The bullet flying 18cm in 1/8000th of a second, would indicate a speed of 1,440 meters per second or 4,724 ft/s (feet per second). For 20cm, the same numbers are 1,600 m/s or 5,249 ft/s.
There’s a problem: Whether chambered in .223 or 5.56, the muzzle velocity (i.e. the speed of the bullet as it leaves the barrel) is around 3,200. And most sources say that the shooter was around 450 feet away.
Assuming that the bullet did exit the barrel at 3,200 feet per second, and it did fly 150 yards, Shooter’s Calculator suggests the speed should have been 2,890 or so.

I mean, if the photo is legit, wouldn’t that mean automatically that someone other than Crooks was also firing at Trump?
Because IF the photo is real, there’s no way that bullet came from Crooks.
Or it also means that photo is fake.
did you watch the interview with Michael Yon?
this is a very long interview, but after an intro (hehe) of about 50 minutes, Michael Yon discusses his doubts about the integrity/genuine nature of this photo too…
the only thing that Michael Yon sees as a possible explanation is that the air conditions were such that they would visualise the trail of the bullet, but even if this was the case, why don’t we see that trail before that bullet grazed Trump’s ear?
really: that photo is a fake…

The author of the article you quote, HJ Kamps, is assuming that the streak is a blurred image of the bullet. It is not. It is also not a vapor or condensation trail. It is simply a “mist trail” from the tiny bit of flesh from Trump’s ear that was that was atomized into fine droplets (mist) by the impact of the passing bullet.
That doesn’t really make sense. The mist line would extend from the point of his ear, point of impact. It wouldn’t miraculously appear almost a foot later.

The “mist line” is a series of very fine droplets that is moving along the trajectory of the bullet. If the photo had been snapped very slightly earlier, the line would be closer to Trump’s ear; if it had been snapped very slightly later, the line would be further away (and perhaps more dispersed).
You should still be able to see residual mist dissipating and that’s not what we see.
It’s fairly consistent from tail to front lead.
That’s not how mist trails work. Gravity and air currents start affecting them and the particles, you know, mist out, away and down.
The smoke disappears quickly.
this is another reconstruction of the shots at Trump and crooks…
this man mentions something very interesting about the information he got about the postmortem…
he claims that the shot that took out crooks entered his skull about here:
and exited somewhere around his neck under his right ear:
given that crooks shot right handed and right cheeked the stock of his rifle, these entry and exit areas would make much sense if the stock of his rifle was damaged as shown in the image of the fast buriers of information (have a look at their website page dedicated to the evidence collected for the butler case):
so, if crooks took a bullet coming in near his left ear, exiting near his right cheek/chin, that could very well blow away that part of his rifle’s stock!
this opens a new question: was it bullet 9 or 10 that blew away that stock and went through is head?
at first sight, it looks more plausible that bullet 9 from the SWAT officer hit crooks, causing a relatively minor injury, but given the angle from which he shot at crooks, it is very unlikely that he matched these entry/exit/stock damages.
so, if crooks was still in the aiming position, it would have been bullet 10 that should have come from the green/bushy/parking side of the AGR building to cause these entry/exit/stock damages…
however, if crooks had turned his rifle towards the witnesses near the trees (i.e., away from the AGR parking) after he got hit by bullet 9 from the SWAT officer, then such an entry/exit/stock damage would make sense when getting killed with bullet 10 from the SWAT officer or the barn snipers…

If i remember correct, it’s from the TMZ video.

It would not make sense for the 10th shot because he wasn’t cheeking it then. He turned to the crowd.
The initial report from the Congressman was that shot 9 hit the stock.
Why are people trying to change it now for zero reason?

what makes you think so?
the part where we can see his potato image not cheeking it?
not claiming shot 10 hit the stock but to me it looks like he’s cheeking just before that 10th shot comes in.
Maybe there is other images i’m not aware of and you could share.

You need to extend your timeline for…
- What Exactly, Precisely, Were Greg Nichols and “The Other Sniper’s” Whereabouts From 5:45 to 6:12?
Their jobs did not end upon shots being fired. Their job as Snipers posted on 2nd story would evolve to give intelligence on status of shooting suspect and or if any additional threats remained.
No matter where the two of them were when shots were fired they should have immediately returned to their post and put eyes on Crooks and reported to command and subsequently all responding LEO’s that suspect was down and not moving.
What we know form all audio evidence is this was never provided for the over 4 minutes it took first LEO’s to get up on X-Over where they proceeded as if Crooks could still be a threat. “Show me your hands” repeated multiple time before proceed toward him.
If GN and Other Sniper (OS) went back to post, if not already there, they would both put eyes on him and then one would have provided cover for the other to simply step out the E. Window, walk over and secure weapon and confirm dead in less than a minute.
So the bigger question is how could GN and OS both not only not be on their post but neither received or shared any communication with command (Lentz) from 18:08:20 (LEO first reports “Someone on the Roof” all the way to 18:16:XX when first LEO’s arrive at Crooks body.

He spins around and sits upright and looks at the crowd to the west. They exclaim about it right before the shot occurs.
I doubt he would have tried to pull off a sitting upright cheeked position anyways…sounds hella awkward.
One thing I’ve wondered is if he lost his glasses at shot 9. How bad was his vision, right? He may not have been able to see much once he lost those.
