Failed Trump Assassin Purchased Ladder and 50 Rounds of Ammo on the Morning of the Rally, According to New Report | The Gateway ...
Failed Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks appears to have purchased the ladder he used to scale the building and 50 rounds of ammunition on the morning of the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally.
I can see the trees were good cover once he got the ladder in place, but how do you get the ladder in place without someone noticing and stopping you?
Someone made a viral video on youtube, an experiment, basically if you carry a ladder you can walk into almost any establishment no questions asked, most people assume you’re some repair/maintenance guy.
but that’s still not a good excuse for protecting the most important human being on Earth right now.
SS is supposed to be paranoid about any/every possible threat.
They had ONE job.
edit: I just remembered, at my work, whenever there is a repair/maintenance guy he always needs to check with us before he does any work, we have to call over a manager and they confirm his identity and what he's there to do.
The ladder might get you a little ways in,
But the rifle would probably be a deal breaker
lol ya
Not just a ladder. If you look like a service tech, maybe carry a tool bag or a meter, no one will question you. I spent many years doing telco work and would often go into restricted spaces to complete work. No one ever questioned what I was doing.
Yeah, even just carry a clipboard and you look like your doing something. (That was our trick in the military when we didn't feel like working, just walk around with a clipboard and a pen and nobody is asking why you are just wandering around the halls)
haha!
Were you ever in or around security like USSS or similar? I wonder if this is a blind spot for them….. God I hope not…. 🙄🫤😑😐
Hey is that kid carrying a ladder? I couldn’t see what he had. My view was obstructed by his rifle. Did someone say something about free donuts?
Those are 20’ arborvitae covering an inlet. A sniper’s paradise.
Premeditation
Damn that’s an excellent and critical point nobody is talking about. This kid had to have done major reconnaissance, scouting, planning and preparation.
He didn’t just go to Home Depot, grab a ladder, grab 50 rounds of ammo and then truck over to the area hoping to find a location. He had that picked out in advance. Or somebody Told/showed him where to go.
