He was detected as suspicious by local LEO, and BC sniper 1 (Greg Nicol) in particular took pictures, sent them out to “command”/SS sniper team leader but either or both of these are reported by Grassley to have delayed relaying this info (and maybe not even the picture) to SS snipers. So the “why” is that some element in “command” and/or SS sniper team leader were extremely incompetent and criminally negligent, at least, and saboteurs, most likely.

Since the plan included photos of counter-sniper locations inside each of the three windows, it’s safe to assume it meant inside. On this map it includes a counter-sniper on building 6, code name 10S3.

Please stop with this. Anyone can shoot quickly if they don’t care what they hit. We apparently have no idea what was hit with the second volley.

Sadly Cory was probably hit and killed by the third shot of the second volley of five. He could not have aimed well shooting that fast. and so, although it was dreadful Cory lost his life, It was somewhat fortunate more people were not hit.

The only place I can imagine a second shooter that bystanders would have failed to spot is inside a building, and the acoustic evidence says it almost has to be the same building Crooks is on top of. Everything else in your scenario might still apply.

I am gonna guess they didnt take enough pictures and will blame that also on incompetence.
Remember, none of this was meant to happen this way. The focus of the entire world and the law was meant to be on the stage where Trump would have been shot dead and they had plenty of time to cleanup the rest of the crime before anything happens.
Only reason every information from SS and FBI is delayed and confusing is because they had no contingency plan for Trump dodging a bullet.
Which also means they had 2 shooters(a foolproof plan) and Crooks as patsy. When Trump appeared to have been hit, the shooter assumed he got his target and went indecisive for a few seconds and then blasted off another few rounds. Once Crooks was down, it was no more safe to shoot and reveal himself and they had to call it off. They were dead sure they wont miss Trump.
Now after the fact everyones focus shifted to dead kid and they didnt had enough time to rig the scene as they could have done if History would have been different. So all the narratives and excuses had to be made up on the go. Which is a real serious problem because whatever they going to cook up need to stand the test of times.

Dr. Martenson,
You suggested that a police officer fell off of a palette and cut his hand. If I were the assassin I’d want to get out of there. Maybe he cut his had in his escape. I just dont like people “leaving”, it’s suspect.
You also said the ESU shooter was “somewhere” as he shot at Crooks. Why wont they tell us exactly where he was? If I shot at Crooks I’d know exactly where I was standing.

I now agree with Alan in Vietnam that Crooks was the only shooter. I, too, believe that the first three shots were taken in the full prone shooting position, with the front of the barrel extending beyond the peak of the roof. Hence, we have three spent casings found on the far side of the roof. Then, I believe, Crooks began his retreat, but in doing so, noticed the counter snipers (either one, or both teams) on the farm building roofs behind Trump, taking aim at him. He then took five quick defensive shots at the counter snipers from his retreating position. This would then explain the five spent casings found on the near side of the roof. It would also explain why one of the counter snipers in CS team #1 flinched and pulled off his firing position during the actual shooting (a fact that I’ve had a hard time finding an explanation for). I think I remember seeing this countersniper readjust his protective shield. It could be that Crooks actually shot at this sniper and hit his shield. That would explain why there isn’t a one for one count of victims in the crowd behind Trump for number of shots fired. The last five shots were aimed at the counter snipers and not at Trump.

The ESU #9 shot shooter was to the back of the right wing bleachers. It looks like he walked out of the barn US-SS CS team H-2 was on. If you follow that line to the back of the bleacher on that side.

Would the bystanders have noticed? Weren’t there people filming?

Wouldn’t he know it was a suicide mission? Apparently he scoped out the place pretty well. I can’t believe he didn’t know there were counter-snipers in positions almost certain to kill him.
-
Didn’t he know there were people in the building behind him? Not hard to notice with open windows. (Unless inside job)
-
Plenty of other cops around, apparently aware of him. If he thought he could get away, then he was foolhardy. Could be of course…

What if the target wasn’t Trump? What if the purpose was a mass casualty event to end Trump rallies?
Interesting…but you would need to explain:
- The first 1-3 shots were clearly aimed at Trump.
- Shooter chose an exposed position.
- There were plenty of better positions from which to fire wide bursts into the crowd.
- He could have just used a bomb.
- The deep state has been stonewalling.

I missed this, thanks. FWIW - and I don’ think it’s worth much after the fact - FOX News just released an interview with Patrick Young, commander of the BC ESU, stating that SS assigned the two western windows as its responsibility; DA Goldinger stated that the 'local snipers were not responsible for monitoring the rooftop where a gunman tried to assassinate."

34:17 The ladder behind the tree is there the whole time. If ESU or other Law Enforcement placed the ladder there why don’t they use it? I don’t think Capri Pants Guy knew it was there either. He ran up and due to his position it looks like he just spotted the ladder. He didn’t shout to them “There’s a ladder behind the tree” as he was running up. So during the entire time that L.E. is looking for a threat on the roof with sidearms drawn there is this ladder that none of them seem to know about. When Thomas Massie questioned F.B.I. Director Wray about the ladders Wray tells us that they have a receipt for a ladder that Crooks purchased. Wray tells us that it is a 5 foot ladder without being asked for that specific information. Wray says that this 5 foot ladder was not found on site or in a vehicle. They have the 5 foot ladder and Wray tells us where the ladder was not found, but he does not tell us where the ladder was found. The on site L.E.O.S were trying to improvise a way up and onto the roof. They probably broke that green plastic chair trying to get onto the utility cabinet and then they transferred a pallet up onto the cabinet for use as a makeshift ladder. Who placed that ladder there behind the tree? This is important whether Crooks used this ladder or not. If members of the ESU had knowledge of this ladder and Greg Nichol, a reported member of the ESU, that perhaps locked himself out of the building, just stood there and watched the show in his camouflage pants, then that tells us something. It has also been reported that there is video surveillance from a business that shows Crooks gaining access to the roof by climbing up.

Oh, how very interesting. Fox news had a commentary on Hawley’s questioning. During a clip of Hawley’s questioning, Hawley made the comment that he knows the name of the SS Agent in command of security at the Trump event on J/13. After the clip, the commentator makes the claim that Hawley knows the agent is a woman. If true, it makes sense why the SS is protecting this person. Can you say incompetent DEI hire?

Chris. In the video, you said “we see there was brass sprinkled all around body. were three in front. I believe there’s three on the right and I think there’s two to the left of him.” That makes eight spent cartridge cases, which is strong evidence that Crooks got off eight shots before he was ‘neutralized’.
Also, you are correct that identifying the make and model of the rifle are important. However, even more important would be to know exactly what ammunition he was using.
Even the best sniper rifle will shoot badly with crap ammo. A run-of-the-mill AR-15 with iron sights or a red dot is not a precision instrument at the best of times. If the ammo was commonly available military issue (e.g. Lake City) then the rifle/ammo combination is not sufficiently accurate to guarantee a head shot at 140 yards even with the best of shooters.
These are very fundamental first principles which need to be factored into any analysis.
