Remember the trunk was full with a bomb
Do they actually say this? A pipe bomb can be quite small.
On top of that, the article details a sophisticated plot where this kid knew how to build IEDs and wire them to a detonation switch that he could trigger remotely.
This jumped out at me too. But then I read he just got an associate's degree in engineering
Was that ladder his? Or the ones the cops used to get on the roof
CBS is reporting
Officers believe that Crooks might have used an air conditioning unit to get on top of the roof.
By the time other officers came for backup he had climbed on top of the building and was positioned above and behind the snipers inside the building
There's a lower AC unit on the other side of the building

I guess my thinking is
We don't know the temperature of the roof, but it was a warm day.
We do know he was on the roof.
How do we reconcile these
CBS reported this.
Officers believe that Crooks might have used an air conditioning unit to get on top of the roof.
Have to figure out when that ladder pic was taken...... because cops climbed up on the roof after the shooting. Could be their ladder
So the witness who saw the kid on the roof?
They are lying?
Three different gun sounds stuff comes From CNN https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-rally-shooting-07-14-24#h_e3b77ce122987eb5d2059a2dff21a270
- Shooter on Roof
- Counter snipers taking him out.
- The third one the audio experts were not sure was a shot, they called it an audio impulse from possible 3rd weapon
Audio analysis can also tell the distance of the shots. For a water tower gunman, the audio would have to match the greater distance
You have an incredibly limited amount of information about this kid, but your mind can't be changed? And you accuse me of gaslighting you? What are we doing here.
Remembered it, Columbine.... that's the name. That was the high school in Aurora.
They had planned to use bombs.

kid had the balls and the tenacity to actually be a full-fledged assassin.
Mark David Chapman, David Hinckley, history is filled with little creeps who wanted to assassinate people
I just looked up the name of the guy who shot George Wallace. Arthur Bremer. He seems pretty beta
Bremer stated "I would escape my ugly reality by pretending that I was living with a television family and there was no yelling at home or no one to hit me."
Bremer did not make friends in school, where he was shunned and ostracized.
I looked at your maps in the other thread. It seems the water tower shot is much harder to graze the year. Looks like 90 degrees to Trump.
And what part of the crowd was a bullet from the water Tower I wind up in? Because it seems the person who was killed lined up with the roof
Those kids in Colorado were. Aurora. They had planned a bombing didn't they?.
Someone speculated he could have set off the bomb as a diversion to achieve the shooting. I was wondering about the bomb but apparently he just got his associate's degree in engineering, so he might have had the skills.
The document he plead guilty to shows pictures of him entering the Capitol through a window.
Search for his real name, it was easy to find.
I still don't know how the Maxwell Yearick stuff got started.
But it appears to me that the FBI would have multiple ways of tracking the dead guy on the roof to Crooks
Gun Car Bullets
They supposedly confirmed his identity using biometrics but I haven't heard the details of this. Presumably you could trace his DNA to his father or a family member if they agreed to give up a sample. Or if a family member had donated to something like 23 and Me
He drove a Hyundai and the FBI has said and CNN reported he had an IED wired in the car and other bomb parts at home
He plead guilty to entering the building
He plead guilty to these charges.
VIOLATIONS: 18 U.S.C. § 1752(a)(1) (Entering and Remaining in a Restricted Building or Grounds) 18 U.S.C. § 1752(a)(2) (Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building or Grounds)
40 U.S.C. § 5104(e)(2)(D) (Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building)
40 U.S.C. § 5104(e)(2)(G) (Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building)
I think this is less than sure
He’s a beta male, he was lucky. He made it up on top of that roof and he had to have help from somebody. he was a weak individual, and I doubt he would have the focus involved in being an assassin.
But this could also be the description of a school shooter.
But I just read one thing that that's making me super curious. Supposedly he had an IED in the trunk of his car and the receiver to set off that bomb in his pocket.

CNN
A shooting range, a gun store, and a ladder purchase: Tracking the Trump rally gunman’s movements leading up to his attack
On Friday, he went to a shooting range where he was a member, and practiced firing, a law enforcement official told CNN. The next morning, Crooks went to a Home Depot, where he bought a five-foot ladder, and a gun store, where he purchased 50 rounds of ammunition, the official said.
Kid had a bomb ready to go??
In a sign that his attack could have been even more destructive, Crooks had a remote control detonator on his body, and his car’s trunk contained a metal box of explosives that was connected with wires to a receiver, the law enforcement source said
So how does that help Trump?
Well, there were a bunch of employees on the 5th floor by the window
I have no problem with real skepticism.
But like I said I'm a strong evidence guy. Also I try not to kid myself I know more about this situation than the LEO with the body and the gun.
I think that would end up being too close.
It's like putting the real shooter on the 5th floor of the Texas book depository
I'm assuming the FBI is correct absent strong evidence.
I see no reason why 4chan started looking at this yearick guy in the first place.
The shooter was said to have no ID on him. But I see two pieces of evidence that can easily be traced back to him or his family.
The gun was said to be bought by his father. They also found his car near the rally. . Also the family has said No, you got the wrong guy. It's not our kid. He was upstairs playing video games
I saw what looked like a convincing analysis that the other counter sniper position had coverage over a good area but not that area due to tree line
Yearick is 37 years old. The comparison photo they are using is 7 years old.
Before we get to compelling arguments, why did they choose yearick to focus on.
Yeah, I just saw this.
