Thanks, and finding the ‘head’ was easy at 34:23.
This video, I downloaded, easily, with ‘savefrom.net’, I think in late August:

Finding the head in the video that, I thought, was the ‘original’ is not so easy.

I made a lucky mouse click and found the head in the August verslon, and glad that I don’t have to say that a head was added since.

The only issue I have with a waxed dummy (or a body that has been dead a while) is that there were quite a few rallygoers who would have presumably seen a figure being put on the roof.
The people to the west of the AGR building could have been cleared out fairly easily, but there were a lot of people in the bleachers that could have gotten videos of something weird going on.
I’m not going to rule it out ENTIRELY though. This was the attempted assassination of the likely next leader of the free world, and I’ve seen my share of TV mysteries like “Columbo”, Banacek", and the like where the bad guys have “ingenious” and expensive ways of perpetrating and disguising their crimes. In the old Sherlock Holmes mysteries, a lot of high tech stuff (for the time) was done, as well.
But with all the eyes on the roof, they would just about have to had a roof panel that could drop down, have a body loaded onto it, and then go back up, to not have random people see it.
If it weren’t for the people west of the AGR 6 building, they could have shoved a body up from the little open spot in between AGR 6 and the building just to the north. But there were still people to the west 6 minutes later:
So why does the only video we have of a person crawling onto the roof show a bald guy?

Interesting. But that person looks like an older child or an adolescent, not an adult. Look at the width of the shoulders, and the length of the upper arms compared to (the elder) Mr. Crooks.
My name is Aaron Zalapone.
I’m the alpha team leader on the Butler County ESU team.
I was positioned right in between the suspect and former President Trump.
I fired the ninth shot.After the first volley, that’s whenever I’m able to see Crooks up on the rooftop.
At that point, I shorted my rifle and engaged the threat.
He immediately goes down, staggered, slumped over.
There was a very distinct movement.
Based on my experiences, he wasn’t retreating or getting out of the way.
I knew I hit him, wounded him, mortally wounded him.
At that point, I could still see the top of his head kind of moving around behind the roofline.
And as he started to slowly come back up, I was still on target, but not enough to engage a second shot yet.
So once he got to about his mouth level, just as I was about to press the second round off, the Secret Service Hercules unit

They say he was sitting alone at lunch. Look at the lunchroom…

I think Zaliponi said ‘shouldered’ his rifle…not ‘shorted’, but the machines are more patient listeners than me.
Did you say that you heard a “kid’s voice” during Trump’s pause between a pair of “and then’s”…as he said, “and then…and then the worst worst President in the history of our country took over…”
If yes, can you, or the machine listeners, tell what the kid said?

If I recall correctly, the other sniper testified about windcall - no correction was necessary. (I’ll try to check.)

I probably should have chosen '4 and not ‘9’ as ‘speaker count’ at maestra, but tried cockatoo.com, which produced an interesting transcription:
“What? I’m coming! Somebody might have stabbed me!”
I disagree with the machine and I think there’s a mini-soap opera scene playing in the background of the assassination attempt, which includes multiple shooters firing at the North Barn rooftop.

There are a lot of people that do things out of some other motive that pure self interest. A lot of people do things out of altruism, patriotism,
or a desire to get to Heaven.
If people only did things out of self interest they would institutionalize their profoundly autistic or cognitively impaired kids as soon as possible, and do the same with aged parents.
You could never have COVID “vaccine” ad campaigns that appeal to people’s willingness to take on personal risk in order to not put other, older, people in danger.
And yes, people do things out of hate, including hurting themselves in order to hurt others.
Adam Smith described the business elements of an idealized capitalistic society that wasn’t too badly warped by corruption, irrational prejudices, counterproductive regulations and so on.

Thanks.
I found the US House transcript (last of six possible ones I checked):
There’s a lot I could copy here, but I’ll just note that Zaliponi does say that he saw “gas emit from his barrel” which is more or less the same as saying he saw Crooks fire at least one shot.
p. 31
But then at 1811, that’s whenever we hear over the net that “On the roof,” and then I hear our commander call for – deploy [QRF?]
So at that point, Officer [redacted] is still with me. I tell him, I’m like, “Hey, go, go, go.” So he takes off. I do an eye-to-eye contact with the team leader. I tell him to go. I’m like, "Hey, go, go, go. So Officer [redactd] runs over, jumps in the UTV, they take off.
Seconds after that is whenever the first three shots were fired. So I hear the first three, “Crack, crack, crack.” And at this point I’m like, “Okay, where we at here?” I happen to look up, and that’s when I see Crooks. I got his head, his shoulders, and I could see a rifle.
At that point, I hear another crack. That’s when I start pulling my weapon up. He gets three off. As I’m getting my – as I’m acquiring my target, like I’m getting my red dot up, I can see the gas emit from his barrel, his muzzle. Then right after that I hear the snap of his fifth shot go off.
p. 32
Then immediately after that, I press one off, and that’s whenever he immediately goes down.

Trump Speech “Take a look at what happened”, and turns his head.
The silent shot that hit the railing was fired about 1/4 of a milli second before Audio shot 1 was fired.
The cameraman lunged forward toward Trump podium about 1/4 milli second after Trump said the word “happened”, the Audio 1 and the railing shot.
So, was there a coordinated signal? If so, was the signal to fire all the shots when Trump turned his head to look at the screen?
So, is this evidence the assassination was staged?
In my opinion, if it were staged, there were no need for multiple shooters firing silent shots, and people being shot or killed.
Perhaps, it was staged, and other agencies had some additional ideas???
If Zaliponi’s sure he hit with his 1 shot, Dr. Goldschmidt’s autopsy report didn’t mention any right side injuries, did it?
Also, if Zaliponi saw the shooter after 3 shots, he had, I think, 2.7 seconds until he heard the 4th shot so, with 28 nicely packed bullets in his magazine, why didn’t he just start squeezing them off?
Even if he’d started shooting when shot 5 was being fired, Comperatore would have been unhit.
Even hitting the roof surface west of the shooter could have ended the shooting(except for the suppressed shots that continued, long after the stage shots, and far away from the podium)

There was at least one more shot, I think nowhere near the stage, just as Trump stood up and, right then, Vanessa Broussard said, ‘shots continue to be fired’…several civilians west of the stage ducked at the sound of that shot.
2 hours later, at the hospital, with RSBN’s Nikki, Vanessa said, “When The President got up, that’s when I knew the shooting was over.”
So, Vanessa had already “forgotten” the ‘extra’ shot that she’d reported 2 hours earlier!
There were also shots 127, 132, and 138 seconds after Trump’s ear(and Copenhaver’s arm) and they sounded hundreds of meters north of Dayve’s phone, and Trump was being pushed into his car seat 127 seconds after his ear was hit.
Either they didn’t report all the dead bodies, or some shooters(maybe including Ryan Wesley Routh) escaped, or a combination therof.
There is my problem:

I’m a police officer, sergeant rank.
I’m the Alpha team leader.
Butler ESU is a tactical unit. We only respond to high risk or, you know, more emergent situations, I guess.
I’m like, “Hey, go, go, go.” So he takes off. I do an eye-to-eye contact with the team leader. I tell him to go.
I do an eye-to-eye contact with the [_] team leader. I tell him to go.
OK, that was the leader of another team.
Do you have the “windcall” testimony? It might be important.
At the time of shooting it was no so windy.
