This is the first time I've seen it in video form so I never shared it in case the photo was taken out of context (blood is in this video if that makes you feel iffy)
If you don't want to watch the video, this is the picture I have questions about
View attachment 11482
Watching the video, that sniper was looking right in the direction of that roof. Did the agent somehow not see the guy with the rifle army crawling his way into position? Did he think it was a secret service agent for some reason? What the hell is that dude doing...
I'm not going to be jumping on the conspiracy theory wagon and join the people saying this is fake but like...SOMETHING is absolutely off about this entire event. Whether the Secret Service here are just grossly incompetent, for some reason they wanted the person to get the shot off and go for Trump, or something else, there has been an avalanche of WTF decisions that I'm really hoping in the coming days gets answered because like...WTF?
This entire thread is neat. The explanation they give (in their opinion given they are retired and were not in the detail) is that the Sniper would be looking out for far out threats (so hundreds of yards out). The roof being that close would have been the job of local cops/security so the sniper would have never seen the guy because it's WAY below the yardage he's supposed to be covering (as the roof that guy was on was approx 120 yards away)
When you watch the video, you see the sniper look up and then drop his rifle much lower than where he was aiming it. He probably had to find the guy with his eyesight and then try to get the rifle trained on him since his scope would be zero'ed in for much farther distances.
