It's so out in the open it almost seems like a distraction. That is crazy close. Dude wasn't even set up before the event, how did he sneak up so close with a long rifle?
He climbed the ladder on the other side of the building where the parking lot goes right up the the building. Probably drove in. Parked vehicle. Waited till no one was looking. Got out with ladder and gun and went into open area between buildings and set up ladder and climbed up on the roof. It would havebeen real easy if no LEO was there when he got out of the car. He could have had an advantageous position in 30 seconds.
Yes, It was wide open for him. My question is, how did he know to go to that exact location with a ladder? He lived 50 miles away. How did he know that building would be open and accessible?
Did they also announce that building would be unprotected? Maybe he looked at potential sites and drove up the day of the event and found one that was unprotected.
Sophisticated for a 20 year old though.

Right. Good question!
Apparently the location of the rally was announced at least 10 days prior to the event, so that would be plenty of time to research the area
