The incredible Copenhaver film shows Crooks running across the AGR rooftops 3 minutes before the first shot rang out. This settles some questions, but raises many others, most notably how exactly are we supposed to believe that that the Secret Service agent in charge of placing the sniper teams was THAT incompetent?

An ESU agent may be the hero of July 13th, 2024 having fired the 9th round and stopping Crooks from firing more. But the Secret Service comes off looking even worse for attempting to take credit for ending the threat while also throwing local police under the bus as often as possible. Truly deplorable behavior and I use that word carefully.

What were all the security personnel doing that day all around the AGR beside somehow entirely missing the presence of Crooks who a host of civilians spotted and were yelling about? There’s something quite fishy in this part of the story. It’s time to take a step back and apply first principles…
