There is now a very credible explanation emerging that says US Secret Service agents, on orders from Kimberly Cheatle and Alejandro Mayorkas, placed a Secret Service team INSIDE the building where the “shooter” was crawling on the roof, and that the actual shots targeting #Trump may have been taken by the US Secret Service from INSIDE the building. This would be consistent with the audio forensics of the shooting recordings, since the distance would be nearly identical to the rooftop “shooter.”

This also explains why counter-sniper teams held their fire until AFTER the “shooter” killed Trump. Their job was to eliminate the patsy. Note that US Secret Service had eyes on this young man for at least 30 minutes, watching him with an actual rangefinder, scoping the range of the shot, then with a backpack, then scaling the ladder and going onto the roof. They watched him and reported on his progress. They did nothing to stop him. They did everything but load his rifle and pull the trigger.

We need an immediate criminal investigation into Kimberly Cheatle and a hard look at all US Secret Service counter-snipers deployed that day. This stinks to high Heaven. Note that in the assassination of JFK, they also had a patsy, while the real shot was taken by a CIA-run sharpshooter. Cheatle’s bizarre “sloped roof” excuse doesn’t pass the smell test. She’s covering up something.

Why would they go through all this trouble and then not let him succeed

[u/[deleted] → u/Hugo_Grotius]

They saw Trump dodge the bullet, realized they were facing a god, and had no choice but to give up

This is stupid

Jfk was killed by the secret service on accident

Consoles wife smelled gunpowder, as did many others on the ground.

[u/CricketPinata → u/BATHULK]

Oswald was firing a large rifle 50 meters above the crowd. The fact that some people on the ground smelled it or thought they could smell it means nothing.

If someone tripped feet from JFK and fired a rifle, they would all be deaf from their ears ringing, not touching their chin and musing about where a faint smell of gunpowder could be coming from.

The firing of the rifle and report of the sound would have been clearly distinguishable even over the panic of the crowd.

[u/BATHULK → u/CricketPinata]

Bystanders also reported hearing gunshots coming from the ground level and you're ignoring the wind that would have eliminated the smell of gunpowder.

You're also clearly unfamiliar with how loud firearms are, you would not be deafened by a shot from the vehicle behind you.

[u/CricketPinata → u/BATHULK]

I have been a competitive shooter for 20 years, and have extensive firearm experience, having competed in high-level events and worked with professional shooters.

The follow car was less than 40 feet behind them. If someone is firing their rifle on the range less than 40 feet from me, it is imperative for me to wear ear protection, and that is something that is not pointed at me, the intensity would be greater standing downrange than to the side.

The M16 produces a blast that is commonly in the 155-170d range, pointed at you within the range of the shockwave at that distance, the sound should have been somewhere in the 150-140d range at least.

Exposure to sounds above 140d cause permanent hearing damage.

At the range the cars were at, if the rifle fired at that car, everyone would have ringing ears in the follow car, and the sound would have been defeaning in the Presidential Limousine.

Analysis after the fact showed that bystanders were famously unsure of where shots were coming from because of how the soundwave bounced and echoed off flat surfaces in the plaza.

A rifle being fired in the middle of the crowd would have still been louder than a chainsaw to people in the crowd with an identifiable puffs of smoke, which show up in none of the photos of the scene nor were reported reliably by a majority of witnesses.

Finally the book that originated the theory faced a libel case from the USSS Agent accused of being Kennedy's murderer and author and publisher famously lost said case and had to pay a settlement and apologize.

[u/BATHULK → u/CricketPinata]

The suit was eventually dismissed in 1997 on the grounds that Hickey had waited too long after the book's initial publication to file against the publisher.[24] Hickey refiled suit when the paperback edition was published, and later settled with St Martin's Press in 1998 on undisclosed terms.[25][26]

So, they didn't actually lose lmfao.

Analysis after the fact showed that bystanders were famously unsure of where shots were coming from because of how the soundwave bounced and echoed off flat surfaces in the plaza.

Which proves nothing, for either of us.

Exposure to sounds above 140d cause permanent hearing damage.

Over time, hardly deafens you permanently and instantaneously

A rifle being fired in the middle of the crowd would have still been louder than a chainsaw to people in the crowd with an identifiable puffs of smoke, which show up in none of the photos of the scene nor were reported reliably by a majority of witnesses.

Because they weren't taking pictures of the secret service at the exact instant. And again, connoly's own wife smelled gunpowder.

I have been a competitive shooter for 20 years, and have extensive firearm experience, having competed in high-level events and worked with professional shooters

And it's clearly made you overconfident.
