Trump shot?

[TheRedneck]

They reported that he bought a 5 foot step ladder at Home Depot. Not  a 12 foot. There’s so much disinformation, it’s hard to make heads or tales of anything.

A GM pickup? This is the first I’ve heard of that. Would make sense for a 12 foot ladder. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills as this is all so confusing.

Couldn’t find a photo online of this. So I had to take a pic of my tv with my phone. 

Crooks cell phone and what looks like a tv remote, probably used as a detonation device.

This ^^^ is what I logged in to talk about.

First of all, I heard it was a van when the shooting happened. I saw a video on FaceBook of an older van being towed from the scene claiming to be the shooter's van. "Car" is sometimes used generically to refer to any two-axle personal vehicle, so I didn't think much of people referring to his vehicle as a "car."

But then I heard about the remote control (mire on that later) and I looked up an article to reference here... I found this:

After his errands, Crooks drove about an hour north to get to the rally. There was an “improvised explosive device” in the trunk of his car, a Hyundai Sonata, an unidentified official told CNN. The device was connected to a receiver using wires, and Crooks had a remote control detonator with him.

 
“That suggests the gunman may have been planning to set off an explosion remotely, and investigators are considering the theory that he may have been planning a distraction during the shooting,” per CNN

(Still learning the bbcode, so bear with me)

Vans don't have trunks; neither do pickups. They even identified the car as a sedan. What was the deal with the van? But that's a minor point, compared to the discovery of a remote control. You see that was the one big hole in my theory: how could someone recruit a kid for an obvious suicide mission? I hadn't seen any way for him to escape... until now.

FlyingClayDisk, I doubt seriously he drove there with anyone. There were explosives in the car. He might have met friends there.

Anyway, here's what I believe the plan was:

The ladder was already on premises, probably lying down against the alcove wall. He would watch for a break in police patrol and slip into the alcove, raise the ladder, and climb up to the roof. Once there, he would hide behind an AC unit and train his weapon on Trump's temple. He would take the shot, Trump would be down, there would be chaos, then he would detonate the explosives in his car. Between that and the chaos already happening, he would scoot back down the ladder, ditch the gun in the alcove, and merge in with the crowd until he would escape the scene. Remember, it is quite difficult to locate a shooter from one shot at the time; it normally takes two shots to identify the location the shot came from.

Once free, he would report the gun stolen from outside the range and claim that he was unable to report it any sooner because his car was also stolen. I also think he probably had another car stashed nearby to drive back to his shooting range... possibly with a driver.

He also had to bring the gun with him; it was his father's gun that he borrowed that day to go to the range. Someone would surely have asked a few vary uncomfortable questions had they rode up there to a Presidential rally and there's an AR-15 lying around in the car.

But after he got into position, he was interrupted by the police. He turned the gun on them and they retreated, but that also meant he had been discovered. He likely panicked and took his shot. His aim was true, but Trump turned his head at that exact moment and he only clipped Trump's ear. Now panicked, he starts firing off additional shots, trying to take Trump out. His aim was way off with the extra shots, though, hitting bystanders and a hydraulic line. When he started firing multiple shots, Trump's snipers were able to zero in on him and take him out. He never got the chance to set off the explosives.

This means a few things: first, he was being paid. He was willing to sacrifice his car, meaning he had a way to get another one. He also had help... he did not carry a 12-foot ladder onto those premises. I'm amazed he managed to get there with the rifle, although some models do break down for portability. I haven't heard the exact model. It means this wasn't concocted by a 20-year old loner... this was specifically, meticulously planned out, and the local police were probably told to monitor the adjacent buildings to make it possible to get in. Local police are never as competent as Secret Service. That's why they normally act in an auxiliary role only.

I'm sorry... this boy was recruited and paid to assassinate Donald Trump, by someone with high connections inside the Secret Service (or above). This was an inside job, and I don't think the agents on site were in on it. They were working with modified policies that were modified specifically to allow someone to get in at a specific location to do the deed. Too much chance a field agent would turn whistleblower.

Now, whoever set this up has a problem: Trump is still alive and the plan was never fully carried out. There's going to be a lot of misinformation coming out to try and do the CYA thing. We may know who shot JFK before we know who set this up.
