Was This a LEO Failure or Something Worse?

Would be interesting to know if the Trump Campaign considered or communicated the Fairgrounds as rally location after being refused from the Regional Airport. Still a possibility though, that the person who wrote the message just made a mistake.

No facebook here, maybe somebody can check if there is an info when this Mega Cruise event was announced.

The question originally was if he had glasses when he was on the roof, since he didn’t wear them when he was pictured after he was shot. Also was no glasses to see in the bodycam video at first glance.
However, this question is answerd now.

To find the glasses on the roof makes it very, very likely the dead person is the person walking at the vendors lane and is the person pictured leaning on the concrete wall.
If this person also was the shooter and his name is Thomas Matthew Crooks is likely but not 100% certain as of now.

Well done! Another piece of the puzzle firmly in place.

Yearrick looks to have a vertical gauge scar, while the body on the roof has a horizontal scar (or more likely simply blood splatter like is found elsewhere on his face/neck). Yearrick also has way more wrinkles than the shooter. Faking the body would be a huge undertaking/risk.

IMO the body is definitely Crooks.

Hard to tell about the direction of the gauge scar in the photo of the living Yearick. We would need a better photo of his right ear. I have this low resolution one, but it appears to show the ear when it still had a gauge or plug in it.


I can’t find a better one apart from the uncropped splash image here:

And I don’t know how to capture and search for this uncropped image.

I’m not sure what you mean by “more wrinkles.”

If the assassination of Trump had been successful, I don’t think the plotters would have faked the identity of the assassin; they would have identified him as Yearick, i.e., as Antifa, and allowed the social carnage to follow. When it failed, however, they panicked. Yearick’s name was already circulating on July 13th, but overnight they evidently decided not to play their Antifa card but instead to try to pin it on Crooks, who was already present at the rally as a decoy.

Of course this was very risky, but the stakes are very high, and that is precisely why the body was cremated as quickly as possible.

You are of course entitled to your opinion, but here is an interesting experiment for you. In the following photo, all the blood has been digitally removed from the shooter. Take these three faces and show them to someone naive - i.e., someone who has not been closely following the events around the Butler rally - and ask them whether the person in the center most closely resembles the person on the left or on the right. (Tell them to ignore the glasses and the beard.)

Please actually do this and let us know what they say.

For whatever it’s worth, I followed this very closely and it definitely looks like Yearick to me. From the shape of the face to specifics like the eyebrows, it just looks like him. But I’m sure a lot of people here in PP would find the opposite. It is coincidental though isn’t it😊

The ears are different, paramount tacticle has a video comparing them

Crooks and the deceased both have moles on the lower left of their chins.

The facial hair pattern does not match Yearick. There’s no way he shaved it in that pattern.

The eyebrows look like Crooks.

What is strange is how the hair of the shooter on the roof seems really thick and the moustache seems thick, but then the picture of Crooks on the retaining wall has his hair as humidity frizzled and messy and the moustache does not look thick.

What about the Billy Thoma interview about a white van with explosives and an Arizona plate being towed from Crooks neighborhood after the shooting?

The eyebrows alone do it for me. They match perfectly to Crooks and not at all to Yearrick. The facial hair pattern is nothing like Yearrick’s. Unfortunately we don’t have a recent photo of Crooks, but it definitely matches the photo from 4:26 near the booths, if you believe that to be Crooks. The more-recent photo below of Yearrick shows his ear gauge scar. It’s vertical. And it shows his wrinkles. I think you’re fixated on the facial hair, and we simply don’t have a recent photo of Crooks. The face is much much more likely to be Crooks IMO, PLUS I don’t have to account for cleaning up DNA and hiding the body’s identity, and even more LEOs/EMTs/coroner/forensics that have to be in on and still committed to this plot while the public bears down on them.

The ears are different from Yearrick? Or Crooks? Your comment is ambiguous. Alternatively, can you link the PT video? I can’t sift thru a bunch of 1hr videos.

Nope.
with glasses

Columbo: Let me tell you what’s bothering me.

But the picture that they show in comparison to crooks of Yearick show him having very different eyebrows than this photo of Yearick

Again, look at the eyebrows of Yearick on that photo when he’s compared to crooks. Yearicks’ eyebrows don’t look anything like the eyebrows shown of him on the photo that gets passed around showing Yearick with his glasses on.

I might have to concede here. The eyebrows do look closer to those of crooks than to.those of Yearick

Chris, I watched part of Gary’s latest Paramount tactical video. I just wanted to let you what he said about flying his drone over Butler Farm, which he states can record accurate elevations. According to him, the roof where the shooter was is only 6 feet below Hercules’ 1 roof and adding a couple feet for a tripod he still insists that Hercules 1 could not see over the roof line to take a shot until the shooter brought himself above the roof line. Anyway, just wanted to convey that information.

I disagree. IMO the two photos of Yearick have pretty similar brows, maybe a bit more bushy in the glasses photo. But both are way more bushy than Crooks’s or the shooter’s.

It would be interesting to take a poll of PP people. Or maybe an expert on facial recognition (with technology) can weigh in

To me, you’re saying, “Let’s get the first opinion of someone uninformed with this matter. Someone who doesn’t know that both control photos are from 8 years ago. Who doesn’t know that the kid on the right is 12 years old and couldn’t grow facial hair if he tried. Who had short hair and was dressed up for a school photo at the time. Who doesn’t know that the left photo and middle photo are of two people consumed by thoughts of violence over the week prior.”

You’re not coming at this objectively. You’re trying make the evidence say what you want it to say.
