I’m skeptical of it being staged, but at some point incompetence is so extreme it becomes too suspicious to take at face value. How do you let a guy with a rifle park on an open rooftop anywhere near a presidential speech?
Let’s stage an assasination by letting our patsy shoot real bullets at the president, is sillier than two LEO orgs not agreeing who’s jurisdiction a shed is.
It’s no sillier than any other false flag attack. They might not have cared if they killed him, either. Trump as a martyr and a more predictable guy in charge has a lot of appeal for many on the right.
Do we know he shot real bullets, anyway? If you’re planning on your patsy getting shot, one of the many benefits of that is that you might not get the type of investigation you’d have if you’re going to charge the guy with a crime. Maybe you have a second shooter and give your patsy blanks.
Yes, because a racist firefighter standing behind Trump caught one of the strays and died.
Please just internalize that the US has many psychos with guns. This guy was in his early 20s and worked at a retirement home. If you don’t know the significance of that, ask before arguing further. He googled both Biden’s and Trump’s campaign rally stops and Trumps was closest. Crooks would’ve shot up his old elementary school but decided he wanted to be better. It all adds up.
Eurohicks will only see a well aimed photo out of hundreds and think “that’s too good to be true - it must’ve been staged”. There’s USA flags all over any Trump rally as well as photographers. The idea that one would get a line on the other while Trump musters some chincey WWE pose in between is easy to conceive.
If you’re familiar with the trends in america you’ll understand it as a natural consequence and one to expect in the future.
When I was at an Obama rally in 2008, there were snipers on rooftops, multiple security checkpoints, and they shut down entire blocks of the city. There’s no way you’re getting even close with a rifle. I don’t buy the incompetence angle.
Somehow the chuds on the ground saw the shooter on a rooftop before the trained snipers, and pointed him out. It was only after the guy took the shot that he was killed, as another commenter pointed out.
I always found this video to be strange. The staffer or secret service agent runs to get all of the photographers, the cranes lower the flag into view, and then they got that perfect shot of him with his fist in the air and the flag behind him. Why did they work so hard to shield him at the beginning, only to allow him to pull that bullshit for the photos? They couldn’t even find the first shooter in time, what makes them think there weren’t more than one?
Police assessed Crooks as suspicious a full hour before the shooting and took photos of him
Emergency services receives photographs of him using a rangefinder nearly 30 minutes before the shooting
Secret service counter snipers are notified of the rangefinder 20 minutes before the shooting
Secret service loses track of the shooter 18 minutes before the shooting
A Beaver count snipers sees him walking down a dead end with a backpack 10 minutes before the shooting
Chuds notice him on a rooftop with a rifle 5 minutes before the shooting and notify law enforcement
Butler county emergency services personnel takes a shot and injures Crooks after his first shot
13 seconds later, Secret Service kills Crooks
So they knew of him for nearly an hour. They knew he was using a rangefinder for nearly 20 minutes. They knew he had a rifle on a rooftop for nearly 5 minutes. Yet he still managed to fire 8 shots towards a former president before secret service finally killed him.
I don’t know if it was staged. Honestly, I suspect that it was either a real assassination attempt that someone let happen, or it was staged and Trump wasn’t included in the planning.

Then there is the timeline:
So they knew of him for nearly an hour. They knew he was using a rangefinder for nearly 20 minutes. They knew he had a rifle on a rooftop for nearly 5 minutes. Yet he still managed to fire 8 shots towards a former president before secret service finally killed him.

Especially when people were literally calling out that the dude was on the roof to the security.
