Shots Fired At President Trump's Butler PA Rally!

Tim Dillon posted a banger with Alex Jones that does not disappoint.



He calls the global elite who planned the hit on Trump "Aliens & Lizard People" then at 41 minutes starts throwing up saying he is "preparing to die."

Do we really live long enough for all that crazy stuff that Alex Jones says to become true?


Good listen.
Alex Jones is on the same page with me.

Some folks in my circle heard me say this within 24 hours of the attempt last weekend.
They are not going to let him back into the oval office. They are not done.

So, still no clear picture of the weapon Crooks used being paraded on the national media? Must be the first time ever! Probably such an inconsequential event, they're not covering it.

@DocUSMCRetired, in your previous post, are you saying that the optic on Crooks rifle is known to authorities, but not being released to the media/public? Also, we know the caliber (finally), but not much about the actual ammunition, right? This story is giving fast enough, it's hard to stay up to date.

Without showing the entire weapon system, it's hard to know if the shooter was an untrained hack, or narrowly missed the shot of the century.

Off-hand shot with Irons and a 4 MOA system is different than a bipod/rear bag and a 10x magnified optic with Black Hills 77gr...Those details will heavily influence the future conversation.
I've not seen anything official. The first mentions were the rifle was a Ruger AR-556, the later mentions said DPMS but no model.
The first mention of an optic I saw was EOTECH then more recently HOLOSUN. Given both companies have small dot, multi-reticle and BDC versions the brand is a distinction without a difference without the full model info.

Maybe someone can do some sleuthing. But looks like a Red Dot something.

I was told by someone in the know shortly after this happened that the shooter was shot in the neck. That was at 6:33 PST. Exact quote "The shooter took a round in his neck before Trump ducked down. 200 yards shot" He was prior USSS and DSS so I trust what info he told me. He has been retired a couple of years but still talks to a lot of them.

Based on the one pic from the SR25 point of view it aligns well. He has been busy and hasn't updated me since the initial info. The exit wound near the neck/ear/jaw area in the death pic could be correct for a neck shot? Could that explain why his teeth are blown out? Just a different perspective and some info I have not seen mentioned yet.

Everyone has a price and or can be compelled in one way or another.
All you have to do is find the right person and push the right buttons.

I would imagine that's why Trump pays 10 times more than that standard "price." And why I think he may also have people on the look out for saboteurs. I'm not saying it can't happen (i.e. someone Soros backed), but I'd be curious as to what "price" that Soros person received.
 
Is there any resolution yet on the tweet/X post from someone claiming to be one of the two CS agents on the roof in which he stated that he "had Crooks in his sights for 3 minutes" but was ordered to stand down and not fire until fired upon? Has that been "debunked" or does it have legs?
 
Has anyone seen any media coverage that mentions counter sniper team 3? All i keep seeing on the news is the two teams behind Trump. The news cycle here is way ahead of cable tv. Clearly there was the 3rd team, just curious why it's not being mentioned...

Money isn't the only thing that can be used to compel someone to do something.
You can offer the wrong person all the money in the world and they aren't going to do what you want them to do.
You tell the right person that you'll kill their cat and they will do anything you want.

depending on camera make/model

Max shutter flash sync speed for Canon eos 1dx mkiii is 1/250. Pretty common speed for all flashes.

Somewhere I read the camera was a Sony A1 with a max mechanical shutter speed of 1/8000 and electronic 1/32000

The article probably mentions the lens as well.

As your posts have supported, capturing the blur is totally in the realm of possibility, somewhere else I posted a plethora of bullet captures with a Sony A1 from an olympic photographer.

But this is going to come up over and over and over and over again for months, maybe years.

Posts like 80% of what's in this thread are the reason FB went overboard with "fact checkers".

No idea on the actual team "numbering" (what team is what number) but there is video coming directly from Director Cheeto's mouth there were 4 CS teams total; 2 USSS, 2 "local" (as in not USSS). The 2 USSS CS teams were on the red barn structures behind the podium as you've seen in the videos and pictures so far. The 2 local teams were inside the two-story building.

The sad/interesting part was what else she said around this. The second USSS CS team was only added in response to the "heightened threat from Iran". So yeah, a former President and current candidate only rates a detail of two USSS counter snipers as a "normal" detail according to her.

Gotcha. I was under the impression from this thread that there was a team located on a building to the far left of Trump that had the cs team with the sr25. I believe both teams behind him on the red buildings were running bolt guns, correct?
 
I was under the impression from this thread

I can't imagine anyone being led astray by any amount of crackpot conspiracy cockamamey shitposts made in this thread by people trying to be FIRST! rather than factual.

In before the moon landing was faked and the earth is flat.
 
sneak in there like the shooter. no ss now so no chance of being shot.
That's the thing though mate, he didn't really 'sneak' anywhere did he? Lol. Was about as open with his intent as he could be without wearing a highvis vest with 'Assassin' emblazoned on it, even then I'm doubtful this shitshow's response would have been any different.

My camera model was going off of a plausible WAG. Didn't know details.

Some places are saying he was using a Sony a1 with a f1.6 lens. https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/...let-and-president-trump-be-real-yes-heres-how

Camera has the capability of 1/32000 electronic shutter speed.

If anybody can read nyt articles, please let us know what this says. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/13/us/politics/doug-mills-trump-photo.html

Yes, the shooters rifle and optics and ammo are all known. The ammo was purchased shortly before the rally, off the shelf plinking ammo. It is currently sitting in the Quantico lab. The likely hood of photos leaking from that point are slim to none.

BS post mate, if anyone in service had posted such thing and it was in anyway factual you'd be escorted offsite after a meeting, stripped of anything issued to you and be waiting at home on administrative leave until management circled the wagons, dotted the i's, crossed the t's and dismissed your arse.

Was the optic confirmed somewhere? I've seen Eotech and Holosun as the possibilities.
 
Lots of bad information floating around out there, even from supposed experts. Wrong end of building, wrong building, multiple shooters/wrong angles, ricochets as evidence for another shooting angle, etc...

A couple things stand out to me right now. If some of the shots after his initial 3 were from local LEO, then it seems the officer had to be already watching the shooter when he started firing. Also, the early photos showed both CS teams behind the grandstands clearly all looking that direction on their rifles when firing started. This leaves only team 3, who appear to have taken him out. So 2, and possibly all 3 teams AND local LEO were watching him when he started firing? Seems hard to believe, after they already marked him out previously as a person of interest long beforehand. Possibly they expected the local LEO team to have the roof locked down, or maybe even occupied by LEO personnel, and this explains hesitation for potential friendly fire. But still, very very hard to believe.

Another thing that struck me, even the first time I saw the video, was lack of concern for another potential shooter when Trump was still on stage
 
Preposterous. He was going to spray the crowd so he had to have a range finder? PUH LEEEZE....
When the "too slopey" was trotted out about the 2 degree roof, it became pretty obvious any further utterances from these people would be just as stupid. They don't care how stupid or preposterous anything sounds, they know, and everyone else knows, no matter what they say, nothing will happen to them, so they very likely say stupid things just to stir anger...because they can and will get away with it.
 
There are so many damn 8 x 10 color glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used in a court of law against us...

That I have to believe that one of you is Officer Obie.

And that I have landed in a %$#@ing Arlo Guthrie Song...

Good gawd!

Man. I listened to CNN on the way to work this morning just to see what those morons have to say lately. I ended up listening for like 30 mins and it was all about Biden's failed presidency and a ton of positive talk about Trump and his family. Kept looking at my screen to make sure I was really on CNN. They literally didn't bash on Trump once.
 
You know with modern digital processing... if every camera stream and smart phone picture from the rally was put in a database and merged... you could create a 3D virtual reality recreation of the event...

Such facilities exist... they are being used a lot for archaeology and historical preservation/conservation. Not to mention gaming and Virtual Reality training.

It's not like 1963 or 1980 when there is one or two videos and a handful of stills. There are terabytes of data availalbe from that day. It would actually be a very easy project (ok... relatively easy...) for someone to collect footage and mesh it all together.

Where's Elon Musk when you need him. I almost guarantee that somewhere in his organization is the facility to do it.

Cheers,

Interesting video. First... it's been mirrored/flipped. So we're actually looking at Trump's left ear. Not the one that was shot. Second, look at the comments lol. People are saying Trump wasn't even hit by a bullet, but by glass from the teleprompter being hit. Kinda interesting theory considering the photo of the bullet wizzing by his head. Also apparently people on Twitter thing a .223/5.56 grazing your hear would, "take your head off" or "decapitate" you. Where do people get this nonsense?

EDIT:
Also couldn't have been glass from teleprompter, as Trump's head was turned all the way to camera right 90 degrees. The ear that was shot was facing toward the crowd behind him. There's no way a piece of glass from a teleprompter could have hit him. If that were the case, it would mean a bullet came from trump's perspective: 2:00. Just not seeing how that's possible.

I don't see anything in that video. I see what some might mistake for a "shadowy figure", but it's just the top of the tree swaying in the wind.

Right side of the "vent?" on the very top is what I assume they're looking at.

If you blow it up I like the way the "shadowy figure" is floating above the water tower ... no feet.

Looks like the right side of the vent in shade to me just like the right side of the tower is dark because it's in shade.

People are infinitely gullible and want to believe crazy bullshit so they will keep repeating the crazy bullshit until it sounds true.

From the left media…. None of them do any research or have any knowledge, they go to those “sources” and echo chamber it as if it’s fact, they’re either too lazy or too stupid to know any better, I personally think it’s a combination of both, but they’ll all be voting multiple times in the upcoming election
 
A rack grade AR, red dot/holo sight, and off the shelf plinking ammo (may or may not have been the ammo the gun was zeroed with)? Maybe a 2 moa system on it's best day.

I've seen 'Cold Bore' mentioned so many times on this and other forums and from people proposing to be experts.

It's laughable, is it a thing? sure, but not something old mate and his weapon system would need to be concerned about in the least. I swear if I hear an expert also drop in 'spin drift' for this scenario I'm done.

How could the shooter miss? Everyone's a sharpshooter until they're not. I'd have more respect for someone who posted a factual assessment of the reality. Pick a random sample of 10 people that shoot, chuck em up on the roof, give them this rifle, add in some duress and a bit of zephyr and let each shooter put three rounds down range at a target 150 yards away. Grab yourself a 6" disc and then go ahead and count up all the rounds that fell outside this, there will be many lol.

I've shot in enough military styled shoots and been on countless hunts over the years to know this is the reality.

I used to run some long range comps and once started with some coins taped to a blacked out piece of wood. You nominated at what distance you could put a round through one using your own zeroed weapon, cold bore, first shot of the day. 200m = 2 points, 150 = 1.5 etc, a miss was a -1 penalty. All high grade precision systems, AI, DTA, TRG etc. Current and ex mil shooters, field conditions, laying prone, rocks, ants, wind etc. Run it and sit back and listen to the excuses lol. (And this was after a current mil sniper and another ex mil bloke both had concerns that a projectile won't go through the coin put instead push the whole coin through the pine board)

Down here we have some pretty big properties outback and in some years plagues of kangaroos. We also have 'Roo' shooters that earn their living off culling them. If you've seen the movie Wolf Creek, well 'Mick Taylor' is a pretty good approximation of your average Roo shooter from back in the day. Toyota landcruiser ute, heavy barrelled 223, 22-250 (1 in 12 twist back in the day so lighter pills), fixed 6-8 power optic, usually a scary light weight trigger and a spotlight on the roof that is manipulated from within the cab. Many times they shoot solo. Headshots only (kill box on roo's head is around 3") shot roo is cleaned and hung on hooks on the back of the ute. Some of the best shooters I've ever seen, no rangefinder, ballistic reticle, dial up turrets, high BC pills, wind meter etc, shooting at night under light, out the window with the rifle's forend resting on the side mirror or a frame on the door, no rear bag etc. Most blokes will not miss out to 250m or so. No excuses from these blokes.

A presiden't assassin's life after he completes his usefulness is very short. Lee Harvey Oswald extended his life by one day only because he ran away from Ofc. Tippet's car and ducked into a movie theater.

They knew an assassin with a rifle was on the Trump Rally parade ground, probably knew who he was and where he would be when he took his shot.

Crooks was featured in a BlackRock promotional ad in a classroom taking a finance course taught by BlackRock. The ad has now been scrubbed. The building Crooks crawled up on 140 yds. from Pres. Trump's podium and was allowed to take his shot from is owned by BlackRock. If you think thats a coincidence, I have nothing else to tell you.

Excellent catch. When I was watched it something looked off but I couldn't put my finger on it.

The CA at the end for AMERICA is clearly backward but cross referencing it with earlier videos it looks like it's just Trump that's reversed?

The blondie to the left of his head in the crowd that starts sucking air through her mouth is in the same position in the original video but Trump is facing the other way.

Are we talking about this pic?View attachment 8461605

If so, zooming in to the ear, it doesn't look big enough to be scars, and its too long. It looks like blood. And the back of the jaw/ear absolutely looks like an exit wound, I don't know who said it before that there is no exit wound from this. All the blood running down his face likely came from that wound.
So where do you think the bullet entered? Maybe by the eye that’s obscured from view?
