Apparently, when Crooks' body was visited, they found his rifle several feet from him. How did that happen? He threw the rifle away right after he did the shooting? Also, there is apparently sound recording of the shooting which indicates there were two shooters (besides the sharpshooters). ??????

Personally, I feel sorry for the kid. Look at his face. This is an assassin? He looks like a messed-up kid to me.

Feels like we are in a whirlpool near the end where the water swirls faster and faster before going down the suck-hole. Beautifully written piece! AND what about; the other trajectory which hit, at least two on the bleachers with the rail being hit in the video. That shot was a COMPLETELY different trajectory than from the angle "Crooks" or someone from a window in one of two buildings. What about the Acoustic evidence which will count the shots and triangulate their points of origin and destination, maybe even caliber. No mention of the Governor of PA who is a leading candidate to be chosen by the yet to be nominated Princess of Caribbean. Sad to say that not all of the facts seem to make Mr. D.J.T. to be squeaky clean in this tumultuous event, which is now washed aside by a War rally in joint houses of congress and a clumsy opening ceremony at the Olympics. THIS event in Butler deserves far more attention from the media, from criminal investigators and from the public who seem like baffled and delighted spectators at a Siegfried and Roy magic show. If someone in Washington were to make a "Let them Eat Cake" sort of statement, it would be Twinkies, not cake.

Again, Cherie, excellent piece and more is afloat than meets the eye.

By the way, the nephew of a Texas Representative was also injured in the stands near where the fatal head shot struck.
