Or if the blow his head off in HD infront of the world that would be a pretty big deterrent for any other outsider to ever challenge the establishment again.

Think about it, Trump is a billionaire and couldnt be protected. Even with him surviving it will scare a lot of people off from challenging the status quo.

I'm not mad at all. I actually don't even like Trump but desperately want him to win this fall.

If this was not all a setup, please then help me understand these points:
- Why the shooter was not confronted sooner
- Why Trump was allowed to continue his speech after the shooter with the gun was spotted on the roof
- Why the sniper team did not shoot first, instead waiting for him to get off five rounds at the president who was allowed to continue speaking

If it's not part of some other sinister plan it is absolutely evidence of the incompetence of our government and this administration, which I mentioned a few times previously.

I dont really know if the picture I posted is 100% accurate. If it is, it would have been Team 1(according to the photo) that actually had a view of the shooter.

Or it could have been another team somewhere else.

The truth is always somewhere in the middle

Was the 20yo kid a CIA sleeper MKUltra mind control agent?… no
Was this just an accident due to incompetence?… also no

For months the democrats have been trying to strip Trump of ALL of his Secret Service protection. A democratic congressman created a bill to do exactly that. Then the secret service denied multiple requests from Trump for more protection.

All while the media and Biden call him the biggest threat to democracy and literally Hitler.

So did the “deep state” pull the trigger?
No. But they loaded the gun and unlocked the front door.

I haven’t seen exactly, but I think the rooftop of car sales building & the building on far right both measure about 488 yds.

Read my last post. I don’t think they coordinated it or selected him. In fact they didn’t even need to kill Trump to effectively scare off any outsider challenging the establishment

Yea Trump is going to win. But in the future how many outsiders are ready to challenge DC and miss their head getting blown off by half an inch and a last second head turn.

All of these maps continue to ignore the water tower. The tallest structure, above the tree line, right behind the sniper.

3 cps were on the ground right there and people were screaming telling them he is right there and could clearly see him.


The sad fact is those cops are just regular dudes like anyone else at any other job. They are lazy, don't want confrontation, and hope someone else does the hard work. But yet we are supposed to worship the "Thin Blue Line" and kiss their asses.

Seems like most cops these days want the praise and respect of the public, but don't really want to do cop shite. And then there is the opposite end of the spectrum, the overzealous meat head cops. Doesn't seem like too many are in the middle, which is what being a LEO is all about.

488 feet, not yards. A 488 yard shot would've taken a little more setup time.
Lots more room for error. At 500 yards, you’ll only be dealing with about five feet of drop. A reasonably good shooter can just eyeball that.

This sniper didn't just throw the gun on his shoulder, fire away, and hit on the first shot.


Yes, I know, 5 mph wind

In a right-angle 10-mph breeze, the 180-grain bullet mentioned previously will drift 22 inches at 600 yards


quote:

Laser rangefinders have taken the guesswork out of measuring distance, but even the best units sometimes fail beyond 400 yards, and at that range, bullets start dropping like bowling balls.


quote:

Alas, every angle has a different cosine (30 degrees is .866, 45 degrees is .707), so you have to memorize a lot of cosines, then multiply under pressure. But first you must know the range and angle. Quick, what’s 537 yards times .707? Serious shooters carry a pocket calculator for this, plus a protractor.


quote:

Establish the correct prone—natural point of aim—position behind the rifle.
Range the target and apply the correction to the elevation adjustment dial.
Make a wind reading and apply the correction to the windage adjustment dial.
Control your breathing.
Concentrate on the reticle.
Reevaluate the wind. If necessary, adjust with reticle hold off.
Control your breathing and concentrate on the reticle.
Wait for the natural respiratory pause.
Press the trigger.
Follow through by holding the trigger to the rear and watching for impact.

<200 yds away from the assassin? Did they have a sniper team there?

Wrong. The 2 guys shown on roof top directly behind Trump did not kill the shooter. There are no other structures within 500 ft.

Yeah.. hence the 2 mins & 47 seconds… or multiple minutes

There was an Reuters interview with a guy telling about a group outside the event seeing the guy and yelling at cops and SS people, and pointing at the shooter, for five minutes before the shot., that was posted in the original thread.

ETA: Was on page 37.

ETA: My bad. The guy says two or three minutes, not five.

Don’t know if anybody has mentioned it but there is a LEO 30 ft from the shooter near the bottom of the building moving towards the corner almost two full minutes before the first shot.

This was not incompetence. I'm not law enforcement and and couple buddies and I could have stopped this with walkie talkies and deer rifles.
