Like other have said, how this kid knew how to not only decide to go to that building, that he was able to get inside (locked doors in most business that are closed?), roof access is normally through another locked door?
How would he know the details inside that building- and how did he get a rifle from his car to inside the building without anyone seeing? Doesn't sound like he just parked in the parking lot of the building and walk inside.
And if he pre-planned this and checked it out prior to the rally (and stashed his rifle inside), how would he know it would be left not only unlocked but also unguarded? Like OldPro said above, normally SS protection or State police would have had that building locked down and guarded. Surprised they didn't stage SS snipers on that roof too.
Of all of the law enforcement agencies on that scene, not one person looked at that building 400' away and said "hey maybe we should cover that one too"?
With a ladder assist....
The ladder pic Magoo posted above answers the questions about how the kid got on top of the building. That makes sense.
But how the hell did he get a 12' ladder there in the first place? His vehicle was not a truck- did he put it on top of his car? And no way he just went walking up carrying a 12' ladder on the day of the event without getting caught. So if he placed it there ahead of the event, did SS not screen that building prior to the event? The ladder hiding behind a bush, really?
The more that comes out about this kid, I find it hard to believe that entire SS team was that incompetent. Someone had to make a decision to leave that building unguarded and not to screen it prior to the event (like they do as normal SOP).
That kid could not have just had that many "lucky" breaks to have all these things fall into place.
Can we stop referring to the Secret Service as the SS.
Yet.

Waaaaaay toooooo many holes in this story.
Sandberm, with the KEPR link are you from Tri?
According to the NY Post, Trump's SS protection is a fraction of what the sitting president gets. Couple that with the fact that most government agencies border on complete incompetence and you have the makings of a disaster like this. It hard to believe that all the stars lined up the way they did though.
IDC, that shit is hilarious.
Again, the shooter didn't have to know anything before he showed up. For all we know a nut job or two shows up at every event and then turns around and goes home when the seas don't part like they seemed to here.
A broken down AR would fit in any backpack easily and not be noticed.
The ladder could have been put there by police afterwards to get up there. Any pictures of the ladder there before the event?
There is a common pattern going on here where everything is being interpreted from a starting point of assuming a conspiracy and needing everything to fit with that assumption.
How long would it take him to assemble that AR? I’m sure he wasn’t trained by the Army to do it in two minutes. Shit, did he assemble the weapon before or after he got on the roof? Two minutes is forever with that amount of over watch.
Im just not buying it.
I could say the same thing and say “there is a pattern here where all the weird shit is being explained away so nobody sees what really happened.”
Kind of like the whole, “it came from bats”.
It’s hard to imagine to boldness to make such hateful statements after such a tragic event. Just overflowing with compassion as usual. SMH.
It's two pins. Maybe 5-10 seconds to put upper and lower together.

Trust me, I’m fully aware. Now do that in stress, taking the upper and lower receiver out of a bag, lining the upper with the lower and pushing pins in. I haven’t seen pics of the weapon, but a standard 16” barrel ain’t fitting in a backpack. My CQB 10.5” wouldn’t fit.
Never mind the Secret Service and Local Police milling around. None of the rovers spotted this guy? All the Overwatch missed him? Maybe they shouldn’t have shot him, but hired him. That 20 year old showed up a bunch of skilled combatants.
Could it happen? Sure. Did it happen the way is being displayed? No, I’m having a hard time believing it at all.
Doesn’t matter how you spin it, it doesn’t make sense. And I’m surely not suggesting Trump set himself up. Somebody, cough CIA cough, is going to kill him.
'They' go to all that trouble to line up a setup to take out the former POTUS - and 'they' pick that guy to take the shots?

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! …
We don’t have to make anything up.
Good point - I mean it's not like a trained shooter would have set off any red flags or caused any suspicion.
I hope you're picking up on the sarcasm.
Could he have had more than one spot set up? Maybe the Secret Service figured being that close, they had it covered from their vantage points.
Right now, everything is pretty much speculation. We will probably never know the truth honestly.
Psssst…
You forgot one from 2 weeks before all this went down…
Oh…and…I almost forgot…

He was within an inch or so… after being rushed… so why wouldn’t they?
edit: also, how many are saying “they wouldn’t have chose him?
Let's Go Brandon!!!
Gotta keep it civil.
Both iterations work for drawing out my fan club.
DB knows things a few of the haters in here don’t want to know…
DB is a bad ass.
With all due respect. Maybe that’s the exact reason why ‘they’ chose him cause ‘they’ knew folks like you would buy it hook line and sinker.
They can’t exactly just throw a trained CIA sniper up there, that’d be a tad too obvious don’t ya think?
Just heard the shooter referred to as Ree Tardy Oswald and cannot stop laughing
