I am interested in how the police identified Crooks, so quickly, using "DNA and facial recognition".
do you think there was inadequate numbers of security? or ? I am truly curious, I thought there would be snipers on surrounding buildings but saw that the local police were in charge of that. I had seen Former VP Gore several years ago, it was indoor , we were screened to get in, not to park, and secured inside by guards outside and some inside, I did not feel there was a large amount considering how many people were in that room.....The failure of security was absolutely the problem, but don’t discount the inherent dangers of an open-air venue. An indoor venue has less points of failure, and one that has been frequently used for high profile events does offer experience from past practice. Butler is not a town with tons of experience in handling security for high-profile events. PA State police assisted, but ultimately the failure to secure falls on the shoulders of the Feds. Trump spoke there at the airport in open air in 2020. They managed security then; unsure why the venue was not used again. Or just come to Pittsburgh. Plenty of suitable, experienced venues.
Butler was not a surprising choice for Trump to speak. It’s a small town in the declining rust belt waiting to be made great again. Now it a federal crime scene, and will be forever known as the place where former president Trump incredibly survived, but left a supporter dead and others injured. It is a stain on all of Western PA, and it didn’t have to happen.

I have been noticing a lack of social media in young adults these days, I think they are more leaning towards Tiktok and snapchat and others "disappearing" social media types.It’s been reported by MSM he had ‘limited social media presence’ and a Discord account that wasn’t used much but other than that I haven’t seen anything about identified social media accounts belonging to him yet. I suspect as soon as that phone’s been analyzed, those will be identified.

.It's been speculated that he was somehow "radicalized". I don't know if that's accurate, but if so, he'd certainly need to be on some platform or another, yet I've not seen a single link to any account.

And also the fact that Trump was rallying practically in TMC's backyard, and Biden wasn't. This very well could have been Biden had he been the one rallying in where Trump was. JMOI don't believe it was political or that he hated Trump, and he may very well have chosen Biden as his target.
Except that Trump was the bigger attraction.
I think so too, in cases such as this..
My opinion is that once they know the suspect the sm accounts are deleted to the public.

Odd. So that ladder was just mysteriously there and he got on the roof in some other manner? Wonder where she is getting that statement source from.
would explain the very fast response?Shooter's rooftop was law enforcement staging area:

Eesh. This could have been so much worse. Still tragic with the loss of the one victim, and it was heart wrenching to watch that video of his wife and daughter absolutely hysterical while they worked on him. But man, it’s just so sobering to think of the what ifs.Loading…

Part of a live feed, some items posted a few hours ago:
"More than 20 guns are registered to Trump rally shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks’ father, according to records reviewed by law enforcement officials, a source told CNN. All of the registered weapons were purchased legally, the law enforcement officials said.
When investigators searched the shooter’s body, they found a transmitter, one source said.
A search of the shooter’s car revealed a receiver with wires going into a metal box that contained possible explosives in the trunk of his Hyundai Sudan found parked on the Butler Farm Show Grounds."

Thanks for that much better picture of the ladder! I thought one was back there like that as I couldn't see one when dinking around with Google Maps (their images taken 11/23) .
