re: My latest crazy theory of the shooter (i plead your patience)

Youre theory is blown up in 2 parts

hey bud, thanks for your post. Appreciate the effort into your thoughts.

1) The officer ducking past the window, is ground level. With the bleachers and farm equipment between him and the stage, there was no line of sight to Trump. Thats why the shooter climbed the roof. That eliminates your lower window theory

that was my theory yesterday was this window 1 based upon some crumbs of info. You're right. the angle to the stage at window 1 is very tight and the window angle of window 3 is MUCH more plausible and just so happens to line up with numerous initial reports and bits of info of the shooter was 130 yards away from Trump. The officer on guard at the window 1 ( i have no video of window 3 in that moment) leads to the theory that something was known about inside the building sniper and he was on radio waiting for all to clear the building of what they had to search the remaining rooms.

2) The shooter cut the hydraulics on that piece of equipment holding the speaker array. Thats why you see that array sitting on the ground in your pic. The arm started lowering the array immediately. So the array high off the ground, and not an obstacle from ground level.

I love this thinking, really do. Look, i think you are underestimating the height of the hydraulic arm. The top of the hydraulic arm is pretty much the same height as near the top of the railing of bleachers. All it needed was a pretty flatish shot and everything matches up. My yellow line in OP pretty much puts the line on the hydraulic arm. I think you are discounting the real line of site possible in that shot from the other window. In shot 1, the deflection of the bullet in the bleachers is pretty down flat. A shot that came from higher up and slightly downward would have deflected that bullet more on a downward angle. I'm also not sure which precise shot hit the hydraulic arm. Was it shot 1? If so, that's the one that deflected to bleachers. Or it was one of the followings. The trajectory and possibility does exist. That's my thinking.

Plus, i give the most logical explanation of the 2 different audio analysis done of rifle echo's and the rifle's distance that could match up perfectly that doesn't change the distance and with a theory of in window/ slightly out window that changes the echo signatures.
