There is another thread here where some of the assassination discussion has taken place which was a problem I had addressed and thought it better to separate the threads. For any related posts from members see the thread here, in the same forum area: Is someone attempting to steer elections and presidential candidates or what?
He attended Bethel Park HS. Apparently, this Blackrock ad was filmed at that school last year & he is in it. Coincidence? Video here-


He had an interesting background if this is accurate.

Dem congressman says staff member no longer employed for ‘don’t miss next time’ post after Trump shooting

"Jacqueline Marsaw, staffer of Rep Bennie Thompson, fired after alleged social media post"

Dem congressman says staff member no longer employed for ‘don’t miss next time’ post after Trump shooting

It appears there was a message posted in social media of a possible second attempt on Trump's life. It appears to be a developing story and is not appearing as textual story yet in Fox News.

"The post, which has since been deleted, was allegedly posted by Thompson’s now-former field director Jacqueline Marsaw. The post read, "I don't condone violence but please get you some shooting lessons so you don't miss next time ooops that wasn't me talking."

Interesting information from what I could see from the various pictures was that those roof tops are arched with a "V" shape, and it appears the sniper perpetrator may have been hidden from the police Sniper Team. But that is unclear.

I heard the roofs slant a little bit....like you mentioned. And when the shooter started crawling up to his position, that's when people started to see him.

I also heard some people saw the shooter going up a ladder to the building which some people reported, too.

"Dem congressman says staff member no longer employed for ‘don’t miss next time’ post after Trump shooting"

"Jacqueline Marsaw, staffer of Rep Bennie Thompson, fired after alleged social media post"

Dem congressman says staff member no longer employed for ‘don’t miss next time’ post after Trump shooting

Given the public call to "not miss next time" by Democrat staff member from the above story.

And the public statement from the FBI website:

"The FBI is investigating the shooting incident at the July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, which resulted in one victim's death and injuries to former President Trump and other spectators, as an assassination attempt and potential domestic terrorism." Update on the FBI Investigation of the Attempted Assassination of Former President Donald Trump | Federal Bureau of Investigation

And reviewing the shot frequency from the video footage while Trump was on stage, which appeared to be three carefully aimed shots, then Trump ducked and turned into about 6 rapid shots: Trump shot at rally in assassination attempt; spectator killed and shooter dead

If he was not aiming where Trump was on the ground then he was aiming at the crowd for the 6 rapid shots. Then it appeared to be a combined assassination attempt and a terrorist attack as well.

From that FBI website:

"While the investigation to date indicates the shooter acted alone, the FBI continues to conduct logical investigative activity to determine if there were any co-conspirators associated with this attack. At this time, there are no current public safety concerns."

"The FBI has searched the shooter’s home and vehicle to collect additional evidence. Suspicious devices found at both locations have been rendered safe by bomb technicians and are being evaluated at the FBI Laboratory."

The shooter apparently lived around an hour from the location where Trump was shot. Which is odd that he lived in the area as an assassin and terrorist. He clearly had some mild training in shooting at that range and also perhaps bomb building skills.

The FBI is still investigation but said there was not active threat to the public.

I differ in my opinion and am concerned it will happen again.

Another news story said Trump had a certain number of events he had to attend to gain the nomination for the republican candidate for president. And apparently the news said he already was attending another event. I'm sure the government would inform him of potential risks, and also include better security at future events hopefully.

But there appears to me to be a potential risk for the attendants. Threat to life might include any terrorist attack or assassination. The attendants at those events have a right to be informed.

I'm still considering the factors and will update this post as I make risk assessment.

=============================================================

So the shooter is a relatively trained presidential assassin and also a terrorist that lives an hour from the target. This appears to be an activated subject from some entity that remains hidden from the public. From my military training I concluded that he was not a military trained individual. But if there is another attack, that aspect is unclear.

How long before the shooter (assassin and terrorist) new about the convention Trump attended, and how long did it take to train him to be that good of a shooter and bomb builder. And if the FBI is saying he acted alone but looking for other people involved. It appears rather co-incident that Trump happened to end up at the proper time in the proper area for him to strike with previous skills that took how long to prepare.

Is there language being used to incite harm to Trump or his followers within the recorded internet or other media. That would be alarming and should be considered a serious problem that needs to be addressed by law enforcement appropriately to stop it from happening. If the damage has already been done, and people are harmed as a result of stopping aggression against Trump and his followers, charges should be added up appropriately against all parties involved.

I did see on the news that the FBI or similar organization charged a social media person or persons with crimes related to encouraging criminal conduct and charges were brought against those people.

I did see some FBI whistleblowers that claimed the FBI was punishing conservative Christians and not giving them security clearance. It was probably classified and at what level and who or how many were involved was not stated. Is that a problem?:
FBI whistleblower alleges bureau improperly suspended security clearance for agents with 'conservative views'

Let's think also along the lines that the shooter acted alone and it just so happened that he was already for the assassination and terrorist attack with weapons and explosives.

Given what I have observed in the years leading up to this and also what I witnessed on social media and news I am concerned for public safety regarding a second attempt and even further attempts against other Conservative Christians. I'm not fully sure it is not a "hate" crime.

"Fox News has learned a Joint Intelligence Bulletin from FBI and Department of Homeland Security was published this week and shared with multiple intelligence and law enforcement organizations warning of potential repeat attacks and retaliation following the shooting of former President Donald Trump on Saturday."

FBI investigates attempted assassination of former President Trump

"The U.S. Secret Service has increased protection of former President Trump in recent weeks due to intelligence suggesting a possible plot by Iran to attempt an assassination on the former president."

"The Department of Homeland Security and Secret Service has been increasingly concerned about Trump holding outdoor events, and have even expressed concern to Trump’s campaign."

"Trump has been increasingly targeted since Soleimani’s killing in January 2020, but the new threat only developed over the past few days."

"The sources also said the Iranian plot is not connected in any way to the attempted assassination of Trump by Thomas Crooks."

Several things ramp up during the phase of an event like this.

On 9-11 the internet was full of traffic before the hijacking for months. .....

I would look for any indication of traffic by the CIA and others .....

"Thomas Matthew Crooks' car reportedly found with explosives inside near the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania" Would-be Trump assassin had explosives in car parked near rally, bomb making materials at home: sources


The shooter apparently, had bomb making skills as the evidence suggests, unless he had an accomplice. He appeared to also be well trained as a shooter but not enough to kill Trump. The pictures on the news might suggest otherwise given what he looks like. It is difficult for me to look at his face and see such an effective killer, even though he didn't succeed in killing Trump. I thought of possible motives, like assassinating Trump, or just doing terror to the event or both. And what was the bomb possession intent, I can only suspect he was going to use it during escape as a defense or final death or further damage to other targets or some combination of the three.

The news apparently had said in one statement that he was bullied at school. But that appears to be insufficient information at best. He was well trained as a killer with what appeared to be an assault rifle. And was in possession of bombs he left in the vehicle they say he drove to the event. He did not shoot up a school as other news stories suggest for bullied youth these days. He did in fact attempt to assassinate the prospective new president of the United States along the lines of those politicians who represent conservative Christians in the United States.
His father bought the rifle. They both went to the shooting range together. That rifle is simple to shoot. Scope included. Firing that gun 150 yards is not difficult. My bosses son and I went camping in Wyoming. Jim told me “Teach this kid to shoot.” We were shooting cross a pond. He couldn’t hit a thing.”Something is wrong with the gun” “Let me have it. See the crow on the shoreline?” About 200 feet. Bam…..dead crow.”Nothing wrong with that rifle. It’s the shooter.” By the end of the weekend…..he was hitting everything he aimed at.

I went to Auburn for a football game.drove four hours to get there. Arrived to see my brothers working with a new Glock. They couldn’t hit a thing. They had cans on a bank. I stopped, walked up. Watched, “Let me try” Took the Glock, checked the clip…..pop,pop,pop,pop……four shots, four cans….Handed the gun back, turned to leave….”Nothing wrong with the gun, it’s the shooter, and don’t try to shoot me in the back, you’ll, hit my truck and just irritate me.” Four hours driving, non stop, no rest…..hit four cans then leave.

I've looked in the internet and seen instructions to build homemade bombs ......

Dev, you need to review your original post. It leaves the impression the SS sniper team was there to shoot Trump ...

Half of the Secret Service Team went to guard Jill at her event ......That makes the Director directly involved. She should have been arrested, cuffed and taken out of that hearing ......7,000 employees of the Secret Service and they couldn't guard three events .....
