Isn’t it possible that some of the some of the “witnesses” from the day of the event were actually planted there to give confusing testimony (which would be helpful to the perpetrators whether or not the assassination was successful).
Absolutely. Erin Autenreith, the redheaded rally volunteer who said in her NBC interview the day of the rally that they shot the guy on the water tower. In a later interview with John E. Hoover and John Cullen, explained that she was told that by someone in the crowd right in front of the stage just after the shooting. That person, and the guy on the water golf cart that showed her the photos of two dead shooters, could be prime examples of plants put there to spread disinformation. Just speculation, but the point is that it doesn’t necessarily need to be the “witness” who was planted.
I’ve gotten kind of lazy intellectually lately. I had to shake some mental rust off just to do some simple integration to find out how far a bullet would drop from a straight trajectory. That’s first semester calculus.
But someone posted a video in these message boards that was taken from pretty far back in the stands. If the sniper kill shot came from the snipers back there, that 10th shot should appear sooner in that video than in other videos.
I’m listening to the Trump/Musk interview right now, and Trump said the sniper who took out Crooks fired from 400 yards, and specifically said it was 3 times the distance that Crooks fired from. On the other hand, he said it was only 5 seconds after shots started, and he also said that “boosted police officer” hurt his leg badly. Erik Prince of Blackwater said the kill shot came from over 400 yards as well.
Thank You. Yes a Friend of mine gave me some Ivermectin. But it is Hard to get anything that’s on the Gov Naughty List. Australia has grown much more restrictive since Covid, the Extensive Lockdowns and stay within 5km from your home, Police home checks to make sure you didn’t leave Mandates, etc.
Scary the way things are Trending.
Thank you for the Wish of Luck for my Battle with Cancer. I’m definitely more open to non traditional treatments, supplements. Now that my first Immunotherapy wasn’t successful, even with Contagious Tuberculosis solution injected into my bladder.
I’m no Sniper, but as an Australian Army BlackHawk Doorgunner for 14 Years, I know the responsibility of having a M240 Machine Gun, in a window mount. Doing a Vital, Briefed Task, as part of a tight team of four. Also you don’t leave a team Mate without backup, without a Bloody Good Reason. If shots are fired, you better get your Arse back on your Weapon ASAP and do your damn Job!
As for Sniper Greg Nichols GN, the burden of Proof totally rests on the ineffectual Law Enforcement and Secret Service Performance. Secret Service did a Piss Poor Job of planning and conducting Protection of their Protectee and the Rally Goers. by the Obviously Tragic outcome.
Greg and His team had a Vital Job to maintain a Sniper Overwatch, of the AGR Rooftop and Rally from a Sniper Position from the second floor windows of the AGR Complex. He or His team Spotted Crooks and reported Him as a Suspicious Person using a Range Finder to range the rally. then the Official Storyline is they lost sight of Crooks? Probably as He moved further back in the AGR Complex, to climb up onto the roof top. Then a Sniper GN left that Vital Window post, to go out side to look, as Trump got started, exposed up on stage? Really, at the Crucial Moment? With uniformed Officers on the way?
But the only Video so far shows GN being locked out almost two minuets after the Hail of gunfire? What Sniper would leave his Rifle setup in the window on a vital mission. Then Have gunfire go off almost directly overhead, on the very roof that is His responsibility to secure and overwatch? Then not race back to His Weapon and the high ground, firing position that He’s already setup? Then He couldn’t get back inside, being totally useless and leaving His Team Mate to Leave His Window and both their Sniper Rifles or other weapons, to come down and let Him in? Reportedly? Where was and what was His Sniper team mate doing at 18:11:32 as the First shot was fired? Also No Questions from the Media? Isn’t that the most Glaring Failure Here? Crickets from the Media on the Biggest JFK moment, Scoop of their Lives?
How did GN know there wasn’t multiple Iranian, Russian, ISIS, etc Attackers Ambushing Trump and the Crowd? One Sniper in Firing Position is worth Exponentially more, than two down at the Door with pistols?
So I consider Greg Nichols and the other Sniper Not spotting and stopping Crooks through their open windows. With Rally Goers Screaming He’s on the Roof, He’s got a Gun. Highly Consequential, as they could have Saved Corey’s Life and others Injuries. Not only Could, But Should have. As that’s their whole reason and responsibility in those Vital Minutes. They Have as Much Failure to Account for as the Secret Service who placed them there. Possibly More, as they were Completely MIA as the Bullets were Flying, leading to a Death! That would be a Court Martial trial in the Military for Dereliction of Duty, Abandoning your Post, Disobeying a Direct Order, etc.
So to Sum up Greg Nichols and His Sniper team Mate Failed and it’s a Really Big Deal that shouldn’t be allowed to go away, with Multiple Distractions and other’s Failures to be held Equally Accountable too.
Your Thoughts?
Dude kids will spent $2000 on a gaming PC, $100 on a mouse, $100 on a keyboard, $250 for a headset, $70 for a video game, etc.
2000$ was his retirement plan. worked well.
I am guessing the payments are getting tracked by FBI and the cctv taken to custody so all that can be erased and claim they lost it. Someone can interview the shooting range owner on whats taken by FBI and whats available and whats not available. Might be worth a shot if u live in the region.
I would say Greg shot the 1st 3 rounds and ran to the exit, came out quietly as if nothing had happened. Took him 5 seconds to exit the door. Not someone in a rush obviously.
Imagine you were actually looking for a suspicious guy and you hear gunshots, you either run back to your position or run out to the field to find out whats going. Neither of this happened.
If there was a second shooter, he must have been in uniform. There was no other way.

Or Gregs partner at the 2nd floor window is the shooter who forced greg to go look for the kid when it was time. And Greg knew something was off and didnt wanted to be involved. So he just wait it out.
So many Questions for the Two Snipers Directly Responsible to Cover the Rooftop, that Crooks fired from. But Greg has done one interview with the Local Police, as a Group. Where’s the Media Feeding Frenzy to expose the F Ups that let a 20YO fire of 8 Shots at the Secret Service Agents? Oh and a Former President and His Mega MAGA crowd? Then some other Sniper took the Kill shot from 200Y or 400Y away. not the 30Y from Greg’s Window to Crooks ontop of the AGR Rooftop?
Hello ABC,CNN,FOX, Anybody want a Story or a Pulitzer?
(Reply from Aussie trauma Dr) : Blood pressure is created by resistance to blood flow (think of the way your hose shoots further when you constrict down the nozzle). To create blood flow you need 3 things:
- Venous pressure to feed blood into the heart
- Contractions of the heart to push the blood out into the arteries
- Resistance to flow in the arteries.
When you make a hole in either a vein or an artery, blood leaks out so the pressure in both sides tries to fall, but venous pressure is much lower than arterial, so after about half the blood has leaked out, venous pressure falls to zero so no further heart output occurs because the heart receives nothing to pump (note that it will keep contracting for a few minutes, just nothing will be pumped.
Finally, if the person if lying flat and the hole is dependent (low down), some blood will just passively fall out the hole after pressure falls to zero, but not all that much because most of the 1/2 that remains in the circulation will be elsewhere in the body. To really ‘bleed out’ you will need to ‘cut and hang’ like you would a deer.
they are busy with the Americas all time favorite “lone gunman” theory. Investigative journalism is dead or the investigative journalist will be dead.
Strange that we still don’t know who the other sniper in building 6 was.
Also, very early on I heard a report that one “local” had discharged his weapon and was placed on administrative leave. At the time I was not so interested in documenting sources. I have never heard this again and can’t remember where I heard it
The current thought is a BC-ESU counter-assault team member next to the wing bleacher closest to AGR #6 who fired shot #9. Which caused Crooks to stop firing and move back down the roof a short distance. We think it whizzed by Crooks head but didn’t hit him. He probably had a AR type rifle with a LPVO.
You’re exactly right. If we watch the AGR 6 door dashcam video carefully, maybe we can figure it out if we see someone leave that we didn’t see enter previously.
That was my “guess” too.
I agree, both SS and GN are at fault, for the reasons you mentioned.
SS at fault for, among other things:
- defining AGR as LEO responsibility but insisting ESU sniper not be on roofs, but deep inside narrow windows with little lateral visibility
- letting roofs of AGR 6 and all roofs to the North be out of view of SS snipers (Hercules 2 blocked by trees, Hercules 1 facing south)
- not participating in that morning’s action plan review
- refusing local LEO to fly a drone with kill capability, then asking for it after shots were fired
- not having a local LEO embedded in SS command
- having in SS command a SS sniper team leader who obstructed info from local LEO to be passed to SS snipers
- allowing Trump to get on stage while suspect with range finder was known to be on the loose, and then allowing Trump to stay on the stage while suspect was known to be on the roof with rifle
- allowing Trump to speak without glass barriers, and multiple lines of sight to Trump outside security perimeter (eg grounds just south of AGR 6)
- etc
GN at fault for:
- abandoning his over-watch window (assuming he did leave) when Trump was on stage, GN knew about suspect with range finder lurking around
- abandoning his over-watch window for the reason to look for Crooks outside (assuming this story is true) when he could have radioed local LEO already outside on the grounds to look for suspect
- abandoning his over-watch window for the reason to look for Crooks outside only at 6:06 (assuming this story is true) when he could have done so much earlier - he had taken picture about 40 minutes earlier.
- lying about having left his post to look for Crooks outside, if the excuse is not true
It’s possible GN just screwed up massively. At 6:11:03 the boosted cop radioed about Crooks on AGR roof with rifle (maybe not specific enough) and GN did not think to look at roof of AGR 6, which was outside his view, until 30 seconds later the shots were fired. There was a slightly earlier radio call about man on roof (but not with rifle).
To cover his a**, he then may have made up the lie about having left AGR 6 to look for Crooks and could not get back in.
The BC ESU/SWAT post-action report has the two over-watch snipers reported as having been out of their posts 6:06-6:12 pm, because one left AGR to look for suspect and the other one to let the first one back in AGR. We know one of those was Greg Nicol.
Here is some evidence that Greg Nicol
- was not outside the AGR after 6:09:04
At 6:09:04 the boosted cop’s cruiser parks in front of AGR door 9. The boosted cop then rushes to the south side of AGR, and from his bodycam I do not see anyone there who looks like Greg Nicol, let alone someone who looks like Greg Nicol running around and looking for a suspect. Meanwhile, the boosted cop’s cruiser’s dashcam records nobody going in (or out of) AGR door 9 until after the shooting - and in particular neither ESU sniper was let into AGR 6 via door 9, after 6:09:04.
It’s still possible that GN was on western side of AGR 6 and was let into AGR 6 via the western door. But none of the videos of bystanders there in the minutes before the shooting (TMZ, Ross, etc.) show Greg Nicol in that area.
In sum, there is video evidence from multiple sources that GN was not outside AGR 6, whether on the south side (TMZ, Ross videos), south side (boosted cop’s bodycam), or east side (boosted cop’s dashcam as it pulls into parking lot).
If we accept that Greg Nicol was not outside AGR 6 after 6:09:04, and we still believe the story as alleged in the BC ESU/SWAT post-action report, then he would have re-entered AGR 6 prior to 6:09:04.
But then what was GN doing, once back inside AGR 6, in the 2:29+ minutes between his re-entry and the first shots? That’s plenty of time to rush back to his post, especially considering the known urgency - a suspect with range finder had been known for some 50 minutes, local radio had broadcast man on the roof of AGR just after 6:08, and Trump was on stage speaking, and GN was supposed to be on over-watch all that time. Wouldn’t GN have rushed to his post and scanned the roof in all those 149+ seconds?
That’s a lot of time, even giving him the benefit of the doubt as to the post-action report story being true. And why does the post-action report story say the snipers were out of their posts 6:06-6:12 if, as argued, the story implies GN would have been back inside at 6:09:04 at the latest? Why not report 6:06-6:09?
To sum up,
- we have good video evidence that GN was not outside AGR 6 at any time between 6:09:04 and the first shots
- if he did go out of AGR 6 to look for Crooks, he would have re-entered no later than 6:09:04, have had a lot of time to return to post, and the post-action report’s 6:12 is false
Yes, that’s the video. At the 5:07 mark you see a spreadsheet. In column G he’s got speed of bullet - 3100 fps 0r 1033.3 yards per second. Then he’s got the speed of sound at 1152 fps or 384 yards per second. So far so good. But he then subtracts one from the other and gets the difference of 649.3 yards per second.
You can see in cell C2 where he’s taken 643.3 yards per second times .22 seconds and gotten 141.5 yards.
643.3 yards per second isn’t a number that’s applicable. The only times the difference in speed is going to make sense is in word problems like “A horse runs at 40 mph and a dog runs at 25 mph. How much further does a horse run if they both run for 1 hour?”
But here you don’t have the the bullet and the sound of the bullet traveling for the same amount of time. They are traveling the same DISTANCE, not the same amount of time.
You need to assume the time for bullet to travel is t1, and time for the sound of the bullet is t2. t2 minus t1 is 0.22
You have to set up equations for
- how long it takes a bullet travels to travel the distance (t1 = distance / speed of bullet)
- how long it takes the sound of the bullet to reach the microphone (t2 = distance / 1152 fps)
We know that t2 - t1 = 0.22
We don’t have enough info to solve those equation yet. We have to guess what the average bullet velocity is, since we don’t know the exact make of rifle and type of bullets. The answer will only be approximate, since that velocity is a guess.
The poster of that video is using 3100 fps.
In that case t1 = distance/3100.
The answer works out to be 403.3 feet (it’s nowhere near as exact as that sounds, of course)
t1 = .1301 seconds
t2 = .3501 seconds
difference is 0.220 seconds
I stunk as a graduate teaching assistant, but I hope that makes a little sense.
New stabilized video of Crooks running on the roof and getting into shooting position. Skip around to about 17 minutes if you don’t want to hear the commentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfDpCKVN7aU
Fact: They heated the hate, put DJT in the bullseye.
Fact: One can carry long gun on the street in PA.
Fact: Iranian known threat.
Fact: Colossal failure by SS.
Question: Negligant or worse?
I messaged him (Greg Nichols) with a proposed fix.
His TDOA, visually, estimates origin of a shot as the intersection of ellipses. Some of the ellipses estimated intersect at near tangencies, so any slight change in one ellipse could move the location of the intersection quite a bit. As a result, having precision in the assumption or estimates underlying each ellipse is important for estimating the location of a shot via TDOA.
