Twenty minutes passed between the time USSS snipers first spotted Crooks on the roof and the time shots were fired at the former president, new information shows.
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!
You don’t think there were people asking. “How did he even get on the roof? Did he buy a ladder or was there already One there? Why was there one already there?”
Have you been in the comment sections of any of these?
Yeah we get it, you’re not creative enough to think of anything. Yeah he bought a ladder and left it at another building to make it seem like something else maybe. I’m sure you can think of a couple dozen situations easily yourself.
Common tactic dude. Do you really need diversions explained to you….?
All of his activities on that day are relevant to creating a complete picture of what occurred, and journalists choosing to withhold details and information is kind of a slippery slope?
EDIT, including this here so it is higher up in this argument thread:
Police will disclose and journalists will often report the number of weapons and ammo or any explosive devices found at the perpetrator’s home, even if they were not brought to the scene or used in the crime. I think the ladder is a detail in the same vein because it is equipment that he had available to him.
It was already reported he bought a ladder that day previously so this is probably to clear that up. I, at least, found it to be interesting info ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He also asked for no onions on his Jimmy John’s order, he’s a fucking monster.
FAKE NEWS!!!
Thank you for reminding me that JJ’s exists. I now know that there is actually one near me :)
The suspect is hatless, I repeat, hatless!
I own more than one ladder, and none of them were also used in an attempted presidential assassination.
…yet… 🤨
Not with that attitude
Ladders don’t shoot people, people ladder people
I mean… If you have the information why not share it? There’ll definitely be people asking
Will there? Who was asking “did he buy a ladder that day? If so, did he use the ladder?”
Did he also buy a pack of gum and a Snickers? We must know!
Is a man not allowed to buy a ladder? I thought this was America!

Explaining how he did get on the roof is one thing. Waste everyone’s time enumerating other ways he didn’t use is another.
I think such people don’t need to be catered to. What he did not bring to his assassination attempt is not in any way relevant.
Bad take
Neat! I’m sure you sell lots of newspapers
I’m sure you’ve decided to troll, so I’m not going to continue this conversation.
Hrmm it’s almost like people may do stuff as a diversion and mislead people sometimes…,
He bought a ladder to divert and mislead people who didn’t know what he was going to do?
Yeah we get it, you’re not creative enough to think of anything. Yeah he bought a ladder and left it at another building to make it seem like something else maybe. I’m sure you can think of a couple dozen situations easily yourself.

If he left it at another building, why didn’t they find it? They said they didn’t find it.

Really? How many times he took a shit that morning was relevant?
No, but you know that.
So it’s not important that every detail be shared then.
Good. Glad we got that cleared up.
No one said it was. And you’re not even the person I was conversing with

Well, Muzz, I guess it’s just you, and… and me… and your balls… and this drawer.
It possibly indicates prior intent to scale the building.
With a 5 foot ladder? Was it a hobbit hole?
Does it if he didn’t bring the ladder with him in the first place? Which he apparently didn’t.
They say he hid the gun before the rally, so maybe he used the ladder elsewhere
