you did not address the question to me, but I have been working on that observation/your questions too…
under the assumption that crooks fired any of the sets of rounds (first set of 3, second set of 5), it is very likely that he would have fired from lane 20 or 19, but more likely lane 19
he died in lane 20, counting lanes starting with 1 at the AGR parking side
so, when the SWAT officer fired bullet 9, he may have been in lane 19, and
when he was looking at and directed his rifle to the Semper Fi-man near the trees, he was in lane 20, where he was shot and eventually died after having bled seriously from his head injuries
if we look at the position of the gun on the roof, the following position looks way too low for me, so he must have raised his position if he was firing any shots:
the lighter blueish bar represents the vertical separator between the lanes. each of these separators is about 15cm (0.5 ft) high, and you can see in the footage of the Spa guy that the roof edge is about half that height higher
the pinkish square is where one would expect crooks’ left hand to be when holding the rifle in a firing position if he supported the barrel, or above that area if he pushed the barrel down on the roof ridge
the greyish rectangle represents the roof ridge
in the following picture, you see the grey rectangle raised to about half of the height of the vertical separator, and this allows him to fire over the ridge, but it means that he should have raised up that roof about 1m (about 3.3ft) closer to the top of the roof:
this picture above matches very well the images we have seen from RealDjStew’s footage where you can see a couple of frames with crooks’ head in view above the ridge line…
bottom line: this all means that that roof top ridge offers very good protection/obstruction from crooks’ perspective…
the blurred out part under the last 3 characters of the photographer’s name (“hia”) may have been blurred for a reason and that may have been where the roof top is located…
I added a slide of law enforcement vehicles last night to my original post. There is still one vehicle I couldn’t find, but it only shows up in the one bodycam and doesn’t really have any bearing on the case.
well, from a conspiracy theory perspective, the footage showing Trump’s face being shot at could be censored if “they” didn’t want us to see that side of his face, and the price we pay for that is that we still haven’t been able to determine with certainty which bullet did the damage in the boom of the hydraulic forklift…
Unfortunatelly the problem is not linear. We need to know the average speed of the bullet, but it depends on the actual distance.
I have calculated it from 130 to 170 yards.
a couple of days ago, you showed a formula for the average speed for trajectory intervals of equal length. I cannot seem to find that formula again. could you copy/paste it once more?
Exactly great question I have also raised. If you’re standing in a DARK UNLIGHTED ROOM, and want to be concealed, during DAYLIGHT with a BIG OPEN WINDOW, you would NOT WANT NOR NEED A HEADLAMP to do this alleged window removal project.
There are hundreds of pixelizations and glitches in these images. Add that to reflections, and broken lapses in frame rates, etc. Conclusions you’re drawing are unsupported by real world evidence. They’re just pixels, compressed, uploaded, from already low quality source video. You have oddly glommed onto ones that fit your easily disproven narrative.
Too big, cumbersome, and slow for this type of a secretive operation. There are some areas in which humans excel, some in which machines excel. When I was deployed on my 4th tour, we had remove belt fed guns on top of our MRAPs. That was about 15 years ago. So yes that tech is available, far more advanced today.
But for a secretive operation where human engagement and precision is needed, decision making not relayed but on the spot, all perception senses employed, and the ability to rapidly escape undetected, is paramount then a remote gun would not work. Too much setup and tear down necessary, far to easy to be caught by someone not “read in” to the operation.
I don’t think a remote gun was used in the Trump attempt.
me too do not think this sort of equipment was used, but he asked me whether such devices exist, and as they do, I provided him with the example of these devices and added the sidemark that it is impossible that this sort of things has been used, he…
A human sniper could far more easily climb into a small space with a low ceiling and lay prone. Snipers are rigorously trained to sit motionless in hostile climate environments for DAYS without detection. They often urinate on themselves while laying motionless. That ceiling area provides at least a few feet of clearance, more than enough for a human to crawl into and lay in wait, even in high temps. He could also wear a cooling vest (circulating or filled with cooled gel) to keep body temp lower.
The logistics of setting up and the height requirements of a gun mounted on a stabilizing tripod would be 10x or more difficulty. Plus a person OUTSIDE would not know nor have perception of the shooting area. Then there’s taking it down, and all manner of questions asked if someone unaffiliated saw this equipment during transport to and from, etc. And also, checking this out of arms room inventory would be yet another big red flag. It would just be much more difficult in my view.
segment time = segment length / velocity at that segment
It reduces to sum multiplicative inverses when we use same length semgments. These segments must be so small the velocity change within to be negligible. (If not small enough, make them smaller.)
v~ = N/(∑(1/v))
Divide the total lengt into N segments. (I used 2 and half million.)
Calculate the speed at each segments (by polinomial).
Do you grasp the concept that the Stewart video is taken from many angles laterally and height as he frantically points the camera all over the building. The “movement” you claim in the subject photos, is a still frame window but MOVEMENT of the person taking the video, giving it the OBVIOUS ILLUSION of window movement.
We can clearly see the window is fixed in place and not moving, not opening, nor being removed due to there being tape around the perimeter and window reflections. It is there in every single picture you’ve posted. Furthermore, there is simply insufficient TIME for someone to remove the window, fire a rifle at a distant target with aimed precision, and replace the window, undetected, even with help. Furthermore, the Stewart videos are helpful but of a low pixel quality. Just look at these images. There’s nary a straight line and all manner of broken planes and pixelization.
The excellent images provided generously by @rough_country_gypsy are taken with high quality static video/photo equipment from a stationary drone, at a much closer and focused position.
While I do find the entire 3 extra shell casings suspect, as long as they were to his right side and 120 degrees forward, lateral, or rearward there’s not much inconsistent about that from an AR15.
As for the ones on the opposite downward slow side, I could visualize them hitting the flat cap, and carrying forward movement and bouncing over to the opposite side. They are just hollow pieces of brass being thrown with some spin and authority, bouncing off a steel roof which probably has some spring (as opposed to landing in mud or sand where they would not bounce or travel).
This could be replicated pretty easily, with just some suspended sheet metal and throwing brass casings to observe behaviors.
Any brass to his left to too far away, of course would be highly suspect.
