The first unanswered question, and the weirdest news so far coming out of the Trump Shooting, was this New York Times headline, which I screenshot so you wouldnāt think I was joking:
Thatās right. The same Orwellian corporation that is trying to buy up everything in America that the government doesnāt already own āare you using that extra chair? Weāll take that, too. Well, that mega-corporation is bizarrely and unexpectedly linked to the same man who just tried to murder President Trump. The Timesā story explained that the shooter, while still an 18-year-old high school student, appeared briefly as an extra in a Blackrock commercial.
The Times reported that Blackrock pulled the ad, promised to cooperate with law enforcement, and said it will turn over any unpublished video that might still be available, just as youād hope a responsible corporation would do. So thatās good, nothing to see here.
Now, Iām only asking. But what kind of connections does someone need to score a fun, easy, lucrative temporary job working as an extra in a Blackrock commercial? How did it all come together? How much did the shooter get paid? Was there a contract? Who signed it? The article didnāt say, and the New York Times doesnāt care.
Itās probably nothing. But itās also sort of like finding out fifty years later that the JFK shooter was on the CIAās payroll three weeks before the assassination. Itās one of those things that makes you go huh?
The second unanswered question arose from a passel of articles ironically intended to resolve a different question. The Hill ran the story headlined, āLocal police officer reportedly encountered alleged Trump shooter seconds before shots fired.ā They want us to know that law enforcement did notice the shooter. But wait. Thereās more.
Neither this article, nor any others about the same story, identified the anonymous ālocal police officerā who, investigating bystander reports, climbed up the ladder to see for himself. According to reports, Thomas the Shooter pointed his gun at the officer, who apparently then experienced a rapid unscheduled dismount. Or maybe he just climbed back down, which makes much less sense, given that was the end of the officerās involvement, as far as they tell us.
Either way, quickly, so fast it all happened before the officer could do anything, the story says after threatening the laddered officer, in the span of a few seconds, Thomas the Shooter returned to his āpost,ā coolly aimed his rifle (not sniper gear), calculated the wind speed factors, and immediately took his shots, showing the kind of clear thinking under pressure normally attributed to combat veterans and not unemployed drifters. Then Secret Service agents blew Thomasā brains out, and that was that.
But wait. How did that giant ladder get there? The article was 100% silent on that score. Are they telling us this unemployed 20-year-old brought a long gun and a giant ladder in his small car and then carried them from the parking lot to the building without anyone noticing? Or did Thomas perhaps set up his ladder ahead of time, like the day before the event? If so, how did security miss a stray ladder leaning against a building that also happened to be the closest elevated vantage to the rally?
If the young, unemployed drifterās planning was sufficiently sophisticated that he placed the ladder ahead of time, how did he know security would miss the ladder, on which the entire plan depended? And how did he know the roof would remain unguarded? These seem like critical unanswered questions contradicting the FBIās conclusion that Thomas āappears to have acted alone.ā
But what do I know? Iām just a lawyer, not an FBI assassination investigator. But as a lawyer, itās way too early to say he acted alone.
What do you think?
