Excellent analysis of the left ear, leaving little doubt that the Crooks in the yearbook and in the man in the bloodied picture are the same. (Does anyone know the source of the bloodied picture?)
Here is independent evidence that the decendent on the roof is Crooks, from a brief moment in Senator Grassley’s video 2 release at time 18:34:57 or video moment 8:00:
Hi Everyone,
I’m not sure if this is the right area for this post, but this kind of fits…
I asked a close friend this conundrum:
During Covid, YouTube, etc blocked SO MANY vids because of “misinformation / disinformation”…
Why do you think they are not doing this for the Trump videos and info?
I think if they [YT, etc] tried that again, there would be a mass-exodus from their platform.
But it’s not what they do, but also what they don’t do that speaks volumes.
To which he replied:
I would be inclined to agree with you, but Trump’s popularity has skyrocketed, they can’t stop the landslide now and if they try there will be revolt and exodus as you have said.
Love him or hate him, Trump - the movement, not the man - is humanity’s last chance to overthrow the cabal. If we lose this fight there is no freedom in the future.
Just thought I’d share this with you.
Hope this response is as meaningful for you as it was for me.
Building code dictates snow load requirements, which is based on jurisdiction. All building are engineered to meet required dead (structure and equipment), and live loads (wind and snow (earthquake where appropriate)). Pre-engineered Metal buildings bend over backwards to use the minimum amount of steel to meet those requirements. They target the low end of the market, so costs considerations are at a premium. In addition, deflection requirements for metal buildings are less stringent than other building types. Metal buildings typically use a couple of layer of scrim faced insulation which are draped over metal purlins, which are topped over with a standing seam metal roof, which are not too good at providing Db reductions.
I have been in metal buildings when someone was on the roof and they made a hell of a racket. Others, I little more difficult to hear, depending on interior construction, but typically you can hear someone on the roof. Even on the top floor of most conventional office buildings, membrane roof over 3 or 4” of rigid on a metal deck, you can hear can hear someone walking on there roof when they are there to service mechanical equipment. And you have a suspended ACT ceiling below the roof. It would be easy enough to confirm if a proper investigation were to occur, which seems unlikely.
Spa Guy on YouTube just released an updated drone video of the AGR complex. He shows the AC Unit that the FBI removed the top off of, which likely contained Crooks’ footprints. He also found handprints above it on the wall where Crooks likely grabbed hold to climb up.
He makes a few assumptions/assertions which are likely not correct, such as the backback having already been stored on the roof, and the rifle was likely stored inside the backback so it probably wouldn’t have make marks.
But this video does give us a definitive place where crooks climbed up on the roof, and it corroborates the after-action report from the Butler/Beaver counties.
All interesting information, but these are not pre-engineered buildings like what you are thinking. You must be from out West or down South? The buildings in question are probably 30 years old min. They could easily be 50 years old. Butler was an industrial city, and a lot of its old infrastructure has been repurposed. I’m an old roofer that has been on countless roofs, and installed more roofs in Butler County than I could ever remember. You could be right of course, but I’ll rely on my personal experience from having lived in the area, and being born in Pittsburgh, although I did chase hurricanes, hale storms and construction boom related work across America for 15 years.
Given your knowledge and experience, would you say the roof support was wood trusses as opposed to steel? Either way, the theory of a second shooter in the space above the drop ceiling would likely require laying some planks or other form of support between those trusses to hold the shooter’s weight. Speaking hypothetically, is that possible?
