July 14, 20241 yr 19 minutes ago, Talkingbirds said: BREAKING:Local police officer came face-to-face with would-be assassin but backed away, sources say Not long before shots rang out, rally goers noticed a man climbing to the top of a roof of a nearby building and warned local law enforcement, according to two law enforcement officials. One officer climbed to the roof and encountered Crooks, who pointed his rifle at the officer. The officer retreated down the ladder and Crooks quickly took a shot toward former President Donald Trump, and that’s when the U.S. Secret Service counter snipers shot him, said the officials who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation Seems like there were multiple failures by security/law enforcement

I wonder if he was shooting more rounds at President Trump, or was it more 'mass shooting' style aimed at killing other people who were there? I've watched the video of the shooting a few times and haven't quite picked out the counter-sniper's shot yet. I would assume that the counter snipers would be shooting a .50 caliber or maybe .308/7.62. So the sound should be noticeably different. Side note, when I first heard the shots, I said that it didn't sound like a large caliber, I was guessing that it was a .22. I was right, it was just a very high powered .22 (.223 or 5.56). I believe, based on this video, that all the shots we heard on the main broadcast were law enforcement: Even closer to the shooter, it's hard to hear his rifle, but once again we hear the law enforcement shots:

He takes his head away from the rifle, then it would appear that he fires while his head is still away from the scope with it almost appearing as if the 'shot' pulls his head back toward the scope. Then you hear two more shots and neither of those seem to be from the man in the top video because he's moving the rifle backward and the barrel is 'off target' pointing more downward. Maybe there's more than one man on that roof with a rifle and it's actually from a different person? I wish the camera had stayed steady on the counter-snipers. I'm not convinced that the shots were from him with just that one video to look at.
July 14, 20241 yr do we know for certain that this wasn't some sort of gay sex/ jilted lover situation? perhaps foot fetish related? trump did appear to have his shoes off. asking for paul pelosi.

What the actual crap
July 14, 20241 yr People talk about fearing a police state but from what I've seen, half the time there's a dangerous shooter situation, they shrink from their responsibilities. I don't think we've got anything to worry about there.

July 14, 20241 yr If Biden was the one shot, Trump would criticize and make fun of him like he did with Paul Pelosi.

I'm not convinced that the shots were from him with just that one video to look at. In the 2nd video, you can hear the 3 shots and then where the first video cuts off after two more shots, the 2nd displays it was a burst of 5 quick shots (not just 2), followed by what sounded like one additional shot from a distinctly different weapon (perhaps an officer on the ground). But in that 1st video, that guy takes 3 shots and you see 3 recoils, then the camera strays and you can't see if he fired the (following) 5 shots or if it was the officer next to him.
