He acted alone. The vulnerabilities in the security around Trump were almost certainly intentional and based on the contempt with which the Biden Administration holds Trump, as well as the DEI disease. Those weaknesses allowed an unsophisticated attacker to just waltz right in and get a clear shot. But he was acting alone.

It’s painfully obvious, but it doesn’t fit the end narrative that many are forcing to be true in their heads. So they continue shoving square pegs in round holes with conspiracy theories.


Two questions:

1. Why was this prime, obvious firing position left unsecured?

2. How did this “kid” know it would be unguarded?

There are other troubling questions, but if you can’t answer these two, then gtfo.

Why wouldn’t this just be an idiot who was in way over their head trying to cover their arse? Similar to saying they never denied Trump additional resources….which would be easy to prove or disprove.

These people are used to lying like a bunch of kids without repercussions.

I lean to Crooks being the shiny object and the real players behind the scenes did the dirty work. I still can't reconcile the trajectory paths of the bullets that hit Trump and the crowd. Two different trajectories/point of origin.

We will never know. This thing will go away like the Las Vegas Shooting.

Fact: the US Secret Service has an annual budget of 2.9 billion dollars, and fields 3,200 special agents.

Fact: the US Secret Service has publicly commented that the securing the building that Crooks climbed on to take a shot at Trump was the responsibility of Local Law Enforcement.

Fact: Local Law Enforcement subsequently confirmed in a press release that their responsibility at the venue was traffic only, and that that was at the request of, and direction of, the US Secret Service.

Fact: the US Secret Service has not responded in any way to the local law enforcement claim. The media has made no public move - questioning, writing articles, demanding answers, the standard righteous indignation - to force the US Secret Service to square the facts above.

Really? Then why when dozens upon dozens of people are screaming for two minutes and one second that “He’s on the roof and he’s got a gun” did the Secret Service do nothing?

How did the Secret Service not notice him flying his drone at least twice around the perimeter?

Is a four degree sloped roof on a single story building that dangerous for them as members of the Secret Service when I think you can relatively safely leave a toddler up there? Too bad the counter snipers were on a 14 degree roof.

There were three snipers inside the building, which what are they going to snipe inside a building? A fricking fly? How come they didn’t hear him on top of a metallic roof?

Did no one notice him climbing a building?

Why they stop him an hour in advance when he had a rangefinder aimed at the podium?

I’m sorry, you’re a fricking retard if you think it’s as simple as just a single shooter.


You’re going around and around and around. The simplest explanation is that he’s a fricking retard

One theory is a ricochet.

since the SS Director said it was too sloped and a decision was made to not cover it for a falling risk. Really? The other SS snipers were on similar roofs w/ slope.


No the roof where the SS snipers were had a ten degree higher slope than the roof Crooks shot from. So that alone after that blatant lie you expect me to blindly take these people’s word for it? You have to be a fricking tard to believe that.


Have you heard the media question her on that position? Apparently the media has accepted that position - sloppy roof dangerous - as fact.

At this time, there's no reason to think that this was anything more than a security lapse that allowed a 20-year-old nutcase to take a few shots at a presidential candidate. The eagerness of people (even in 2024) to entertain baseless conspiracy theories and acts of divine intervention demonstrates why we have so many religions.

People don't want to believe the mundane. There's no intrigue or excitement to it.
