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.
That is a 600 dollar ladder at Home Depot or Lowes, more at a hardware store. It weighs about 50 to 60 pounds. It is awkward and bulky, hard to carry. It will not fit on or in any car or mini van. You would need a truck with a rack to transport it, tied down with ratchet straps.
Source? Me, I am a contractor.
Not a contractor, but I own a type III Werner fiberglass ladder and can concur.

If it really is a werner 10 foot ladder it's only $250 and it weighs 39 pounds
The photo doesn't show the full ladder, but it appears to have 9 rungs like a 10' ladder. So where did it come from? Did the shooter park in the lot behind the building with all the LEO or did he carry it from somewhere? Or was it left there? What was he driving, I believe reports said "car" and not "truck". I'd like to see how he transported a 10' ladder in a car.
Apparently he walked a mile with it lol, I'm not going to bother getting bogged down questioning that, that will just muddy the waters.
Ok, so the official story is he carried the ladder and rifle, I don't have a hard time believing that and I think questioning it isn't a good strategy to get to the bottom of this and be taken seriously anyway.
What I do have a hard time believing is that no one stopped him.
