Thanks. I was trying to recall the testimony and was too busy working on something else to look it up.
I’m not trying to disprove your timing by any means, but I do question how long after shot 3 the Lead CS heard him say “I got him,” especially since he does not remember anything else but the wind call. We had a discussion about that above.
The use of the word “then” is not always referring to the next point in time, sometimes it is simply the next significant event the interviewee refernces to answer the question asked. Since the interviewrs repeatedly fail to asked followup questions to clarfy the facts, we cannot know exactly how long after shot 3 he said “I got him.” Therefore, I personally do not assume the CS was intentionally delaying his shot or otherwise incompetent by waiting too long to take it. The testimony is not detailed enough for me to make that assumption.
There was a message over radio “we got him”, and immediatelly later a correction “not yet in custody”. I will look for. I guess this message made him to holt the fire.
By the way, I’m searching on rumble now. Here is the evacuation of spectators.
Daniel59 is saying it could have been used - not that it WAS used. Considering that the target was the leading opposition candidate for the presidency of the most powerful country in the world, I think we should consider just about anything not totally in the realm of science fiction to be a possibility.
Something tells me you won’t find it, but I hope you do. It would likely put a nice bow on my debunking of it’s alleged use for pulling a sniper kit out of that tree.
Until you find the ladder video, here is a more focused analysis of what evidence we do have. I’m adding a subfolder to the shared file for “Theories Debunked.” Here is the first entry:
It’s from one of the well known videos that were taken from the small group that was west of the AGR building. You know, the same group that saw Crooks beforehand, and then after the nine shots Crooks sits up and someone says “he’s looking this way”. It’s poor quality, but you can see he’s sitting up, appears to be holding the rifle, and there’s no blood apparent.
The important thing is not to know how long he had him in his sights but why he didn’t shoot when Crooks’ head was most protruding from the roof. Zaliponi fired his first shot when Crooks was less visible and the sniper on the south barn would have fired only 5 seconds later when he had lowered his head, it’s inconsistent!
On the other hand, it doesn’t seem to me that he moved back from his initial position when he straightens up and looks towards the crowd.
As for whether he was already injured at that time, it’s impossible to determine because the video is too blurry to know if he had blood on him or not.
I have known about this possible shooter hiding in this tree back in July. I managed zoom into the video, and take a still shot. There is a man standing in the tree. and he was not holding any kind of rifle instead holding some kind of gun. At this time, i could not find any more information on this. I just thought, here we go, another shooter found, cover it up, and stay with the same narritive Crooks is the only shooter.
Then i came across a new video uploaded onto youtube. As i always do, look for clues. In this video, i managed to zoom in. and i could see a tree ladder, and LEO climbing up it. This video does not show anything else. Most important thing, this ladder and LEO climbing up it was recorded shortly before Trump went onto the stage. This possible shooter i am sure did not fire any shots.
When John Cullen brought it up about a possible shooter from the tree. I debunked it straight away knowing about the information above.
