    They just tried to assassinate Trump

    I'm watching the hearing from today. I wasn't able to watch it live. Given the picture shown during the hearing and the layout of the white tents, it looks like he's saying the far sniper team took the shot. Was that confirmed before? Layout of the rally site.

    They just tried to assassinate Trump

    I suspect a lot, if not most, state police agencies are set up with repeaters due to their patrol area being the state. And I'm not trying to split hair here but are you saying a PA statie would be able to communicate directly with a USSS agent because of their fusion center or the staties could...

    Yes, the FIRE dispatchers, the EMS dispatchers, and the police dispatchers are usually all in the local or regional command center, the 911 call center, or whatever it was called in that area. On the average day, I could get on the radio and ask for EMS to my location. My dispatcher would notify...

    Yep, that had been reported early on.

    They could communicate through the command center. They could not communicate directly with each other. I suspect that people who are flabbergasted by that has little or no experience with large multijurisdictional events. Do you really want the USSS near the gate not able to radio the USSS...

    Yes...I was addressing bigredfish's question "Where did a 20yo get the $ to buy 25 additional firearms?"

    Someone flew a drone around the site 6 days after the shooting and tries to show the view from various locations. Here's another of his videos showing the view from the water tower.

    As I understand retail purchased drones, they tend to check in as they fly. If their gps location is checked against permanent and temporary no fly zones. The police can track the drone and can get the real time location of the drone operator. I've seen it done first hand by Baton Rouge Police...

    It may have been a misprint or an inaccurate summation. A number of other news sources state he used aliases to make 25 firearms related purchases. The CNN article includes a quote from Kevin Rojek, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh Field Office. “Starting in the spring of...

    According to the guy who sent the text, "I'm just letting you know." It obviously wasn't urgent information.

    This is a waveform of the audio pulled from a single video with one recording device. Nothing was done to the waveforms you see. There were sections removed from between the shots taken out so everything fits in one screenshot and everything can be heard back to back. The guy moves a little bit...

    I think the footage of him walking around has already been out. But someone walking around away from others, looking at the roof and not at trump should certainly raised some eyebrows if any leo saw that.

    They just tried to assassinate Trump

    There's a 9th shot immediately after the 8th shot. Then a 10th shot 15 seconds later. This is by no means scientific but I pulled the audio from that video, put it in audacity, and took out the pauses. The first 8 shots sound like the same rifle. The 9th and 10th shot, I don't know. If you...

    They just tried to assassinate Trump

    I'm not being defensive. You presented a fact not included in the video, that it was an LE who provided info on the house being cleaned. I tried to search and verify that but I was unable to. Everything I could find just said that he was told that info. It should have certainly sparked some...

    They just tried to assassinate Trump

    And that goes back to what I said before. Those failures are widespread and covered multiple agencies. That's a lot of planning in a short time with a 100% accuracy rate recruiting people willing to take part in a conspiracy to commit murder.

    And you're sure they didn't radio it in? And I don't need all the stuff you listed. I just haven't seen anything that changes it from complacency into conspiracy.

    You're a better researcher than I. I'm not able to find anything where Crane said the tip was from someone in LE. You're good. Personally, I can't throw a rock 130 yards. You're saying an officer should have stopped looking for the threat and run to the fence, jump the fence, then run to the...

    Well, some guy told me the house wasn't sanitized. So I guess that proves it wasn't.

    They were looking for the guy on the roof. They didn't remove the president from the stage because they were not next to the president. They are local police. The secret service was next to the police.

    That's what he's hearing, ergo it must be true. It just gets old. That's what I'm hearing. People are saying. Someone said. It would be odd for the house to be scrubbed before police got there. But I'm going to have to wait for more than "I've been told" before I view that as fact. Until...

    They just tried to assassinate Trump

    Why? At this point, all the guy had done was park in a lot next to police cars. That's not a threat. That's not suspicious activity. That's not even person of interest. That was an FYI text that didn't necessitate conducting an investigation of the vehicle. If they had looked at the van and the...

    I don't believe someone should blindly defend le and the feds. I also don't believe someone should blindly condemn them either. Present the facts and let the facts sort it all out.

    They just tried to assassinate Trump

    My issue is this. Yes, local police knew about the shooter hours before the shooting. They knew about multiple suspicious people hours before the shooting. But they did not know one of the suspicious people would become the shooter. I've said it before, I liken it to the lottery. At 11pm, it's...

    Yes, I think the shooter heard the suppressed shots. At least the first one. The second bullet would likely have been traveling faster than the sound. As best I can tell, the USSS uses 300 Wim Mag for their counter sniper rifles. Unsuppressed, you're looking at a sound level of around 160dB...
