    Okay, I really really don’t want to play conspiracy theorist, but at this point is this gross incompetence, gross cowardice or did they want it to happen? As more details come out with the timing you have to ask wtf going on?

      Open carry is legal in that region. The shooter was well outside of the rally and well within his 2nd amendment rights to be open carrying.

      A rational person would say that he voided his rights as soon as he started eyeing the rally through his scope. But the ‘goodguy with a gun’ cult is far from rational.

    Though law enforcement sources said Crooks is believed to have purchased a 5-foot ladder at a Home Depot before the shooting, it does not appear to have been used to climb on the roof and was not found at the scene.

    This is a very important detail, ABC! Thank you for providing it!
