Officials previously claimed that Thomas Matthew Crooks was noticed by agents roughly an hour before.
The New York Times obtained texts between members of the Beaver County Emergency Service Unit.
The unit member’s texts provide a far more solid and earlier timeline leading up to Crook’s opening fire at the Pennsylvania rally.
The text messages also revealed the 20-year-old shooter was aware of law enforcement presence at the rally.
At a congressional hearing, it was revealed that authorities identified Crooks as a suspicious person 60 minutes before the shooting.
According to the Times report, the new evidence suggested Crooks was identified closer to 100 minutes before the shoo.ting

They are unlikely to be this incompetent- there are wheels within wheels here.

Incompetence can cause tradedy. A set of bad circumstances as well. But a long list of incompetent moves combined with a long list of bad circumstances is so unlikely I don't think it should be entertained as a possibility.

Why do you insist on using the same photo of the gunman when he was a child? Is it because he is wearing a shirt with the American flag on it to try and imply a particular affiliation which we know is not true?

If one starts adding up everything one can only reach one conclusion.

“If you see something, say something” People in the rally were alerting Police, but they did nothing….This thing stinks and it certainly was an inside job. The kid was a terrible shooter, and the Deep state had fingers crossed Hoping That 1 shot out of 8, would be deadly, but it backfired. Kid is dead. Now why didn’t SS snipers knowing he was up on the roof, from the crowd yelling and pointing….Brings us back to, “see something, say something”. The kid was the fall guy, bet he didn’t thing he would be Killed….This Stinks, it was inside job…

So its not a gun issue afterall. Its an admistration issue. It goes to the top. The admistration is dangerous and should be banned. Everyone stay inside, the government cant protect you, but you arent allowed to protect yourself 🙄

Do you remember 'Lefies Losing It', several weeks ago when Rita showed a guy planning the same thing?

I wonder if Joe's remark about putting Trump in the bull's eye was a factor. I would have normally thought it meant verbally attacking Trump except Joe did hat every time he spoke. I can't think of any other explanation other than a target.

That place should have been packed with security. WTF
-
Not incompetence, they knew exactly what they were doing
-
Croocks knew who hired him and that's why he was not afraid of climbing onto that roof his only mistake was he missed and they killed him.

The Harris move reminds me of Ardern. Both were created by the media.
-
Awful from a security team. A building roof with a clear view of the podium was all but ignored. Wtf?
-
It’s sad when the people have to dig up the info because it’s being held against secret

Disturbing

This can't Be buried. Please sky Australia report everything you can. YouTubers done experiments they won't do and it speaks volumes. Find these details and if it makes sense report it because the United States media with the exception of fox is done talking about it. They can't bury this too. Keep up the good work. We the people deserve the truth about this and a few other things

Funny enough there is a video of this guy saying you'll have a wrong man.
-
Youtube censorship at work again
-
How did one 20 year old find the only spot not covered by law enforcement to do what he had planned?
-
