I tried to add Chinese subtitles to 1 of these.
180 frames of
Foxâs 24 frame/second Corey Comperatore video,
remade at 30 frames/second, with audio from PBS.
Shots at frames 96, 120, and 143 look reasonable.
And the speaker already seems falling as Shot 3 hits
James Copenhaverâs abdomen:
Hereâs the rebuttal chapter for my upcoming book. Itâs almost 2900 words, but thereâs a short version and a long version in there.
If you want a very short rebuttal to people who think âTrump staged Butlerâ just use this question, possibly with a picture of the perp:
The same question should be asked of people who doubt the latest attempt, of course:
NOTHING will change their minds, but itâs fun to either shut them up or make them go into mental contortions to continue their theories.
Of course, Trump couldnât have staged this assassination attempt on his own. Since he was only a candidate at the time, he had no control over the Secret Service or the FBI.
So the assassination attempt could only have been staged if Trump is a puppet of the Deep State.
And that is precisely what neither the left nor the right are willing or able to consider, because it would shatter their worldview.
Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
âSo people say he popped a fake blood packet. But he continued bleeding, all the way to the limo.â
Thatâs not true; the wound had already stopped bleeding by the time he stood up.
âThere are photos taken by both Doug Mills and AP photographer Evan Vucci that can be paired which show more blood on Mr. Trumpâs ear when he is off the podium than when he is on the podium.â
Please show them to us
âThen there is the matter of the bullet that almost killed David Dutch. Thatâs the bullet that Doug Mills photographed.â
Neither Doug Mills nor The New York Times has released the raw file for this photo.
So the possibility that it is a fake still cannot be ruled out.
âThe staffer wasnât guiding the photographers to the best spot; they do that on their own. He was trying to keep them a safe distance from Mr. Trump and his Secret Service security detail.â
Haha, he actually started doing that a few seconds before the first shot. You can see it in another video.
Maybe it was another Secret Service agent. But thatâs beside the point.
" No Secret Service team would have let Mr. Trump stand there and pump his fist, then move off the stage very slowly.
No COMPETENT team would have done that. My take on the matter is that they were either wholly incompetent or compromised."
Why did Trump promote an incompetent or compromised Secret Service agent (Sean Curran) to head of the Secret Service?
He was still former President, & they couldnât control his obviously emotional behavior, and they couldnât just leave him down and coveredâŚthey had to get him into the car and out of there.
And, I have several very short videos that now have been banned on the sub reddit conspiracy.
The âstagedâ believers could claim that Trump was a stunt man in a faked drama, but they couldnât cope with
Copenhaver, the 2nd stuntman downrange.
Everything Iâve seen goes against the âTrump is a puppet of the deep stateâ idea. Start with all the attempts to censor him, jail him, surveil him, and demonize him. Then note how he started going against the deep state once he got back in office, starting with pulling the plug on USAID and getting DOGEâs help in getting all the computers behind the scenes hooked up to each other.
Then there are things like JD Vance railing at the Europeans about the lack of free speech, and consistently aligning with the more populist figures in world politics, figures that are universally reviled as âfar rightâ by the powers that be.

If those donât impress, then you still have your choice of saying Trump popped a blood packet or Trump cut himself.
We donât need the bullet photo to know that David Dutch was standing just a little behind a line from the shooter to Mr. Trump. There are lots of overhead photos to show that.
Well, hypothetically speaking, IF the staffer had sent the photographers up there to take photos, his timing was off, because none of them were in place for the good photos.
I did a substack about Doug Millsâ bullet photo, and I think he was caught off guard, because that photo series is out of focus. I suspect he was about to get the big flag in focus, because he was raising his camera at the very moment shots started.
Thatâs a very good question. And why is Trump is keeping him as the head after Curran announced that the WHCD security was perfect? (Cole Allen tripped over a box, otherwise he just might have made it into the ballroom.) I hope I live long enough to find out.
Could âa little behindâ be 2 feet, or 3 feet?
And does âbehindâ, in this context, mean
ânorth ofâ,
âsouth ofâ,
âeast ofâ,
or
âwest ofâ
?

Iâd say the bullet hit David Dutch was 9 to 18 inches east of the path of bullet that hit the south railing - at a plane just in front of the south railing. At Mr. Trumpâs location, that would be perhaps 7 to 13 inches east, or 5 to 9 minutes of angle.
In this context, behind Mr. Trumpâs head is to the east.
I understand you think the first bullet went on to hit Mr. Copenhaver. In that case, if you were to write your own book and put in a similar chapter, youâd say the second shot passed in front of Mr. Trumpâs head.
If you were to write your own book, you could insert this video into a Shot 1 Chapter, to prove your âtheoryâ:
Iâm wasting too much time on X, but I AM getting there. Iâve got 96 pages in a rough draft and know what I want to say.
I finally decided what I liked on a few theories, decided to say âyes, this is inelegant, but itâs my best guess on a few othersâ, and to throw up my hands on a few details regarding Crooks sightings and just say âI donât know what to make of thisâ.
Once I incorporate the stuff I want to keep from maybe 8 of my last 15 substacks and polish it up it should be ready to go. Iâll try to have it ready for July 13.
4193 frame video posted 4 days on X had a pixelated face
claimed to be âPatsyâ.
Frame 1006 could show an extra Patsy, compared to frames 1004 and 1005(all scaled to 1600%) and is the large area close to the TV edge just a roof vent?
There is no noticeable difference. If he had continued to bleed during the first 30 seconds after he got back on his feet at the same rate as during the 30 seconds before, when he was on the ground, blood would have dripped onto his white collar or jacket.
In reality, however, not a single drop is visible on his clothing.
Blood drops may have been visible by other observers, or at closer range and blood wouldnât have been easily seen on that jacket color.
Meanwhile, this video apparently has been banned by some subreddits, and the weekly/fortnightly âstagedâ posts on âconspiracyâ temporarily seem to have stopped.
They canât cope with 2 stunt men.
Derek Jeter will play the role of Copenhaver in the Hollywood movie version.
If the video ban continues, maybe the âstagedâ hysteria will restart.
Hello all. Its been a while since I was engrossed in the Thomas Crooks assassination attempt and the excellent work done on this website to help explain what happened.
Has there been a consensus reached on the following?
- Were the first three shots fired by a different shooter than the second set of five shots?
- Which of the eight shots killed Corey Comperatore?
- Which of the eight shots wounded James Copenhaver?
- Which two of the eight shots wounded David Dutch?
Thank you for any responses
Hi Screener:
No consensus has been reached, because
1/3 of the reddit audience still believes âstagedâ.
Some of the X audience believes âstaged,â but some deny that Copenhaver was shot with 2 of the 1st 3 bullets.
For me,
- 1st 3 shots were fired by a different shooter than the fast 5
- Shot 6 of 8 killed Corey Comperatore
- Shots 1 and 3 hit James Copenhaver
- David Dutch was hit only once by Shot 2. Otherwise, Dutch wouldnât have agreed to Tom Llamasâ 14 October wording,
âthe bullet that hit Dutch split his liverâ
The bullet that hit Dutch also seems to have hit the JC Bamford telehandler:
Wow, thatâs not good. We canât even agree on which shots wounded and killed people. I will take your analysis, many thanks.
Copenhaverâs best friend, and motorcycle riding partner, Randy, probably would be called as a witness if this case were considered in a courtroom.
Randy is the man in black shirt.
The lady with red hat and sunglasses also could be a witness.
Fox heavily edited the audio of Comperatoreâs video, but
Copenhaverâs shirt seems blood soaked after 3 shots:
shot 6
@roger-knight posted these pictures somewhere on the forum. Copenhaver was standing between these three bullet holes. If the shots had struck one after another from left to right or vice versa, Copenhaver would have been hit by either shot 7 or 5. He was hit twice. One bullet is still lodged in him, and the other only grazed his upper arm.
shot 2, he was only hit by one shot
werenât bullet holes
The FBIâs only nearby bullet impact was the âblack vinylâ, which was draped over hard steel of a double-ended shed on the TVâs flatbed trailer.
Copenhaver says his arm was shot as he was âlooking backâ at the TV.
After 5 seconds of gunshots and chaos, with Trump and everyone down, was anyone looking up at the TV?
