There was no audio released with that bodycam and you are off by several seconds with the audio from another source. Zoomed in I can see a figure fairly well exposed roughly in the location where the body was found so likely the cop saw that as well and started running. Look where the far 2 story building corner lines up with the roof of bldg 1. There is a muzzle flash in there as well (going frame by frame).
Those who earnestly seek the truth owe you a great debt. In our current world where speculation and outright lies seem to be the norm, I appreciate your contribution to piecing this all together to get to the actual truth. Outstanding work!
Anyone seeing any further info on Crooks or his motivation or planning for this? Kind of need to know why and how but the FBI has released nothing. No journalists have tried to report on it. School shooter profile doesn't seem to fit here so I am curious what happens to someone to go from smart kid about to go to college to flipping into an assassin
FBI has released nothing. FBI trained him. They were tracked to the same location. The same old story. The same as at the Boston marathon. Trained by the FBI.
THIS IS A VERY GOOD QUESTION. Sounds like a depressed kid that felt his life was shit. Short sighted. But the fact that he covered his tracks on Social Media is a huge red flag. Who does that??? Seriously?
Very interesting seeing all of the clips together like this. Great work, Gray! But that's to be expected! When you get on it, you really get on it! Above and beyond is your normal! ☺️
So it took the swat guy off the grass area less than a second to shoot Crook. But around 10 seconds for the Anti Sniper team to shoot him, If it wasnt for the Swat Guy crook could've got off 10 more rounds. Shocking
yeah I aggreed and this has aways bother me form day one. A CS nest who's trained exactly for this and was slow to the draw. WTF It 'swas like "ah now I have to eliminate loose ends". No way I'm buying this attempt as what the media is delivering to us. This was a planned attack and by some group.
@@johnwsimpson3153 Yes. The swat officer probably heard the radio from the police who saw Crooks on the roof. He knew where to look for Crooks. The Secret Service Sniper team had no radio communication with the local police. Thus it took longer for them to spot him. Crooks also raised up after the Swat officer's shot hit his gun which allowed for a better view of him for the Secret Service Snipers.
I still dont see after seeing this footage and knowing the positions/angles how the swat officer hit the stock - the stock must have been covered completley by crooks head or left shoulder
Has anyone seen any video of Crooks carrying his back, other than on the roof? I'm under the suspicion the backpack was up there previously, meaning he planted it in the days prior, or worse, someone handed to him when he was up there.
FYI: Many segments of this video the audio has been synced from different recordings. Therefore, while viewing a recording that occurred from a location that would be too far to hear one can hear the audio from another recording that occurred at a different location.
I have to think someone on the ground, on the side of the building where everyone was shouting “he has a gun”, has footage of him being shot by the SS sniper.
YES, and there is reportedly a video out there of Crooks "squirming in a death throe" . I'm trying to obtain it, but the person who said they had it is being a dick
There were even people on the back-row of the stands immediately behind Trump filming with their cell turning that way saying things like "What all is going on with those officers over there?"
At 7:03 on your video, shooter with rifle up, right after he fired third shot. Zoom in, upper left. Clear as day. Seems he is watching to see if he hit Trump……then realizes he didnt and fires off 5 more shots before ECU takes shot 9. Can you go 100ths of a frame? Look at every capture during 7:03 - 7:05 you can see him raise gun, look, then re-sight the gun for the 5 shots. Wow. For those here, put video playback on .25 speed and stop/start it in very short increments.
Seeing all of this, how did this 20 year old out-smart the whole SS & the local swat & police & somehow knew the exact spot he needed to get to that he could hide & just pop up to get 8 shots off. How did he know.
4:00 "that guy" was looking through his scope at Crooks many seconds before the shooting, perhaps even minutes before, continued looking through his scope as Crooks fired eight shots, then continued looking through his scope another agonizing ten seconds, then, and only then heroically fired back.
I don't think he fired, just watched. Aside from that, how did he know that there was only one assailant? Who cheers for one guy getting shot in an active shooter situation?
The 10 second wait can be explained... Crooks' rifle was hit by shot 9 and he was stunned. He stayed flat on the roof and the view to him was blocked by the roof apex. The SWAT officer and the sniper on the barn could not see him until he raised his head up.
So obviously they could have taken Trump off the stage. That officer was running towards the building, right past the snipers facing the AGR building. The "lack of communication" excuse is being demolished the more that these videos are coming together.
@Systems1 Right, and these guys could have easily yelled at the snipers and SS agents who were close by. It's crazy, the first time they were assigned to a former president, they didn't pick up radios, ignored the locals who warned about the building, and had a separate communication system to talk to the Secret Service. Which implies that if they were NOT assigned to Trump that day, for the first time ever, they would've had clear communications with all snipers!? 🤷♂️ 😆
@@EricJustinSmithJr The timeline doesn't support that. Local assets were tracking the guy on the roof, the local swat was aware. You are right, breakdown in coms. Why didn't they pick up the radios???? Very good question
@@EricJustinSmithJr Most agencies are going to have their own comms plan for internal comm. of course SS assets were on a SS comm. how is that even worth mentioning?
At 6:09 pm plain cloth agent, that looked almost identical to Crooks, except of white cap, was wondering near ARG building 5, while Crooks was already in position on the roof of building 6. He could be easily mistaken for Crooks by police, because at 5;49 pm all Wi-Fi, Internet and cell phone communications were jammed at ARG building complex.
The "jamming" was actually a cellular overload for that area. It continued intermittently until after 7pm. You could get a signal if you repowered or cycled airplane mode off and on. I made a call around 2 min after the shooting.
Based on this footage can not tell for sure about shot 9 probably the local sniper but the kill shot on crooks shot 10 appears to be from the swat sniper on the ground from a standing position. It appears that shot 9 and 10 came from the local swat team member. If this is true means secret service didn’t fire at all. Local man appears to have definitely made kill shot on crooks. Can’t tell where shot 9 came from exactly.
Absolutely agree. Now that Gray has the sound track from Dayve Stewart's video lined up with the other videos, if you pay attention to the sound of the shots and watvh camo guy on the ground, you can clearly see he took the final 10th shot. I think you may be right that he took the 9th shot also. We don't have a clear view of his upper body then, but his legs look like they are in a shooting stance.
Yes, @bobgreene3539, it does not look like Crooks is aiming his rifle when those first 3 shots were fired. I think a 2nd sniper shooter took those first 3 shots from a window position in the 2nd story open window of the AGR building!
"Make yourself small bro I don't know what's going on" is heard on all 3 videos and no it's not radio chatter WHAT THE HECK!!! 18:11:33 OMG Dave Stewart has an earpiece 😮
I think it's Dave talking to someone, because it's so clear on his original video. His own mic picked it up. On these videos, the sound tracks are combined to synchronize multiple views. You might be looking at one view and hearing sound from another.
Gray, observing from Flanders/Belgium. Your video montage, at 14:11-12-13-14-15 we hear the first three shots, yet it looks to me Crooks is not shooting, not even aiming his rifle. No flash, exloding powder or bust of air! Where did the sound then came from? The 'Open Window' behind, 10 meters left? The protocol always commands: Window Closed!!!
Most people with AR15s have flash suppressors on the end of the barrel. Images of Crooks' shows it had a flash suppressor. Legth of barrel also matters. An 18" barrel verses a 16" barrel is less prone to flash. Type of ammo used too can affect no flash. So people should not expect a flash with each shot fired. What do you expect to see from exploding powder? A puff of smoke? That doesn't happen with an AR. The powder used today is smokless powder. Look it up, it's a thing. Smokeless powder, by design, causes less soot build up in the rifle. Excess soot buildup can cause the rifle to foul. He's not firing a musket for Christ's sake. Ever shoot a muzzle loader with non-smokeless powder.? Can't shoot many shots without it getting gunked up with soot and fouling. Pyrodex is a smokeless powder. That's what I use when I reload. You watch too much Hollywood.
@@ifv2089 Figure of speach! Then, where is the rifle? Behind the roof's ridge? Is Crooks shooting three(!) shots from the hip? Thus, reaching target as well?! For sure an Expert Sniper! I myself was a Para-Commando (1967) with extensive FN assault rifle practice... With recoil(law of physics) for sure!
Gray: never more proud to be a Freak than being called a “dumbass” for respectfully disagreeing with the Odinist theory on another channel…That kool-aid they sip is potent!! Thanks Gray for your professionalism!!
That is not Crooks at the beginning . That is Yearick . Do a comparison photo . Also the van they said belonged to Crooks had Arizona plates . Yearick was from arizona . I dont hear anything about thus from youtubers
Nobody ever mentions this but those last loud screams from a woman I think are when Crooks get shot right in front of her cause I think she’s on the other side of the building with that whole group that saw him on the roof and yelled out to the cops. I could be wrong but it’s possible. Either that or a family member or audience member realizing a person was shot, maybe the fireman’s family. What an awful scream ☹️.
Outstanding work! You’re definitely one of my go to’s on the Trump shooting! Your content has been incredibly consistent, thorough and extremely informative and insightful! Thank you for keeping this historical story alive! So I’d really love to know who the guy is that yelled “He’s got a gun!” Somebody needs to find him and interview him. Also, the ESU guy at the fence in the camo gear is so calm after the shooting, like exceptionally calm. I wish we knew for sure if he really is the man behind shot 9? There is just so much about this day that makes you just scratch your head in disbelief. Why are so many guys dressed similarly? Is that just another one of those coincidences?
Old guy here. Is it possible that the patsy/crooks knew the undercover officers because he recognized them from a possible encounter at the gun range from prior exposures, then proceeded to dress similar to them as to throw off the cops he didn’t know? Basically using the under covers as a layer of confusion in their search for him? At this point, I’m wondering if patsy WAS even crooks! Or if crooks and yearick were together, and it was crooks assignment to just walk around, as a distraction, as he was similarly dressed as the UCs to garner ALL the suspicion, while giving someone else an unguarded path to the roof of the AGR building to give them the chance to commit the crime. The fbi has already tampered with the body having it cremated. Did the coroner release it to them or did the parents do this? I’m just frustrated and confused over this whole stinky clusterf*ck of a mess. All misdirection and NO concrete facts.
The very same thing went on at the Boston marathon. They use several almost identical persons on the same event. At this moment there is no one that can claim Thomas Crooks was on the roof. The police who climbed up on the roof saw nothing. The person doing push ups on the lower part of the sloped roof obviously was not the same person who sat on the wall outside the window. They plant ideas in our heads.
The name Yearick keeps popping up... There was a white van with Arizona plates owned by Yearick abandoned near the event, and there has been no explanation as to what connection if any there was to Crooks. At least I haven't seen anything. Anybody know anything about it?
Wish you could also add the video from the west side as he turned and looked their way after the 9th shot. I believe the rest of that video will show when he was taken out. I think, not sure but I think the screaming in the background at the 10th shot was by the women yelling he’s got a gun.
I'd like to know who the woman is and ask her why she was at that fence facing away from Trump. She watches Dave run but doesn't move even when Big Lungs screams HES GOT A GUN. I'm not suspicious of her, just wonder what she saw that made her stand there watching. She didn't react until shots. Everything she did is normal except for being at that fence alone watching the chaos across from her. It's not clear what she could see or hear. I wish we could hear from a lot more eyewitnesses and see the videos. Thank you for your good and hard work. 👍🏻💪🏻🇺🇲
@andrewkendall7814 OMG! She must've heard something and decided to go see for herself. Something I would do. Probably thought Trump was shot. I feel bad for what she must have gone through. Thank you, that satisfied my curiosity.✌🏻
Watch the vents in the wall below Crooks open and close at 8:53 minutes. Also notice the video has been blurred right below the roofline then a black sidebar blocks the view of the vents for the next two shots. At 8:22 minutes you can see one of the vents opening just before the shooting.
If really 4.26 pm that Crooks seen at rallygrounds, then who did that swat officer who left saw at that time at the picnic table at AGR grounds? Was the officer mistaken, or lying or ...? Was watching again the video of the hoisted cop, that picnic table was quite a distance from the door he exited, why did he find Crooks sitting there suspicious?
The fact that he got up on the roof is amazing, fail, fail, fail, no excuses whatsoever, the officer should have been screaming to get Trump off the stage but fail to no avail!!! The feds, the local and all included in the investigation withheld the information because there was so much to go through, imagine how many phones they must have collected and time spent putting together the timeline of events, this is amazing the information this Gray hughes has put together with what limited information he had!
@@GrayHughesInvestigates I posted the exact location of Crooks. Thats it. I also responded to several posts with informational replys. Again, removed. No swearing, no prohibited words. You might want to check your settings because it's being heavily censored. I have at least 4 comments removed already.
When you zoom in on Crooks, I think it's strange that you can't make out the AR15. We see a head. If he was looking down the barrel I don't see how we'd have that view. Have you gone a frame at a time to see if that isn't just a head that isn't even moving? Some have said they believe he was already dead and didn't even take the shoots. If he's not moving and you can't see the gun that would make sense.
the sheriff at the fence, to the right of the woman, is the one that got crooks, correct? dudes cold, zero reaction, zeroed and shot, then raised his hand to get his ck 😅
I scanned RSB video, nothing on it (although I did see myself a couple times). The vid you have is evidently from much later in the day, you can tell by the shadows pointing east (the trump souvenir stands were on the western side of Buttercup Lane. The exact location of the vid you have of Crooks walking is 40°51'16.6"N 79°58'28.8"W I took a photo about 20 feet further north of that location, recognized it.
Curious, Butler police shooter who first hits Crooks at the end of the 5 shot sequence, how long do you believe he saw Crooks before he shot and how long did he have him in his rifle’s sight before he fired? I can’t tell from the frame we first see this officer if he had his rifle in a firing position. This is important. Was he tracking Crooks before Crooks fired, or after Crooks first fired? I suspect it was after Crooks first fired, but I am not sure. If tracking him with his sight before Crooks fired, that’s scary implications.
If you watch the SS camera behind the big truck, you can see the SWAT guy walking towards where he stopped, took aim, and fired. You can see him on his way when the SS was on the opposite side of the truck, then you see him stopping and taking aim as the SS makes it to the other side to walk beside the truck bracing.
Imagine what we would have had if the final shot not fired. An assassin with disabled weapon surrounded. Maybe some answers. Who ordered the CS to pivot and when? Crooks had no survival instincts or was assured the cs team wouldn't readjust. Many ?????? Drone situation is ridiculous. Someone surely saw or filmed him or his machine 2 hrs before T came on.
I believe Crooks went on a su * cide mission. Death by cop (or sniper). I also believe that Hercules 2 (north facing snipers) alerted Hercules 1 to turn around and scan for a threat. They saw the commotion at AGR, but had a partially blocked view due to trees. This is the only thing that makes sense since neither team had comms with the locals and didn't know an armed man was on the roof.
@@Mustangmom2k I don't think it was suicide. In fact, I think that his Fireworks Remote Control (for his bombs) found next to him was brought to explode the devices in his car.....and make a distraction so he could get away to become "famous". Unfortunately, he was being hunted and he knew it, and took a rushed shot, ruining his plans.
@@Mustangmom2k I am curious to know what story they sold for Crooks, the death, I don t believe 1,5 m $ ok, but on the roof : what ? The insurance he will not be killed ? And with the bomb s remote he could go away ?
The officer running towards the AGR building obviously was local and heard "gunman on roof" on radio. He 6 behind Trump's position on way toward AGR. Too bad he didn't yell to Trump's detail. Maybe he thought they knew???
how can the young man be that calm, was he on drugs maybe? hard to see a 20 year old with no experience in that field be that cool - I mean not upset at all - it looks like that.
@@GrayHughesInvestigates You think that all the shooters would be on that same roof? And they let Trump stick his head up almost immediately. They knew the script all along.
It's highly likely based on all of the available evidence that he was being coached by someone on the inside of law enforcement or a government agency. Therefore, he's led to believe that he is protected and will not be taken out. They work to get people like Crooks to trust them, all the while knowing he will be killed during the operation they are preparing him for.
@@Drottninggatan2017 really! I mean the sniper takes one shot and then high five himself and gently walks away. He is not looking around to see if there are any sources of danger.
This may be a strange thing to notice, but Crook's shoes look two sizes too large for his feet (in the video where he is walking along the vendors row). Good work on these videos BTW.
Strange, but at 08:28 & 12:06 horizontal slats appear in the small square wall plates on the south facing wall above the windows. Was this used as shooting ports, or was it just a camera effect from some self-focusing feature? I think Bret Weinstein observed this on his podcast last week. (The wall plates, not the slats appearing).
Quite a few people in the Peak Prosperity group have concluded shots 1-3 came from the vent immediately up and to the right of the center window of building 6. That's based on the first bullet hitting Trump's ear and then the back corner of the right side bleachers. You can get a free account and look in the comments for "so it's back to first principles" and "acoustic analysis..." Chris Martenson isn't nearly as persuaded as some people on his staff.
VERY ODD WHEN THE PUBLIC CAN SEE THE SHOOTER AND SHOUT OUT HES GOT A GUN , WHILE WATCHING HIM FROM GROUND LEVEL. THOSE SECURITY IN HIGHER LEVELS SHOULD HAVE SEEN HIM. THE PUBLIC CALLED OUT AND POINTED TO WEAR THE SHOOTER WAS , POLICE AMONGST THEM SHOULD Have RELAYED THE POSITION. WERE THE POLICE/ SECURITY IN THE BUILDING WHERE CROOKS WAS CLIMBING ON THE ROOF ABOVE THEM DEAF OR DID THEY THINK IT WAS A BIG MOUSE.
In that one video when you can see Crooks raised up over the ridge when the first shots were being fired, can you see him looking through a scope or down the iron sites of a rifle? In this video, I could not distinguish his actual looking through a scope or aiming, but these compressed videos are crap. If you have an uncompressed video, look at it closely and freeze it right after the first shot where you can see him in the picture. Do you see him aiming?
@GrayHughesInvestigates How do you explain the fact that Dave's audio from the AGR fenceline does not pick up the sonic boom (crack) from the final (10th) shot which would have flown right over his position on the way to the roof? You only hear a very loud report, which would indicate the shot was fired in very close proximity, not hundreds of yards away.
Girl next to fence was the first one out of Trumps Motorcade vehicle according to other sources. Seems odd she's over there. SS never picked up the radios from Butler Police. Sniper took 16 seconds or was looking thru scope way too long. Inside job. Thank you Butler Police. I'd say those screams of horror are the gentleman that died wife or daughters. ✝️
See how he swings both arms as he walks here but only one swings in the vid walking along the building as if perhaps he’s carrying / concealing something on his left side
That is Dayve Stewart, wearing the red shirt, who was filming just prior to the shooting. He saw all the cops with guns drawn and the commotion, so he knew something was happening, but didn't know what.
@@warrenklein7817 Seems to be the case that all local LE (Beaver, Butler, Washington city & county LE) had comms with each other. At least that’s what the security plan released by Sen. Grassley show.
Your work is amazing,having all of the clips up simultaneously, thank you for all that you do
The roof was hosed down, cleaned! almost immediately.. then Crooks was cremated also quickly...??? cover up..!
Exaggeration. The roof was not hosed down for several days (drone footage confirms that).

So obviously they could have taken Trump off the stage. That officer was running towards the building, right past the snipers facing the AGR building. The "lack of communication" excuse is being demolished the more that these videos are coming together.
yes certainly
Evidently, the SS did not pick up local radio.
@Systems1 Right, and these guys could have easily yelled at the snipers and SS agents who were close by. It's crazy, the first time they were assigned to a former president, they didn't pick up radios, ignored the locals who warned about the building, and had a separate communication system to talk to the Secret Service. Which implies that if they were NOT assigned to Trump that day, for the first time ever, they would've had clear communications with all snipers!? 🤷♂️ 😆
@@EricJustinSmithJr The timeline doesn't support that. Local assets were tracking the guy on the roof, the local swat was aware. You are right, breakdown in coms. Why didn't they pick up the radios???? Very good question
@@EricJustinSmithJr
Most agencies are going to have their own comms plan for internal comm. of course SS assets were on a SS comm. how is that even worth mentioning?
At 6:09 pm plain cloth agent, that looked almost identical to Crooks, except of white cap, was wondering near ARG building 5, while Crooks was already in position on the roof of building 6. He could be easily mistaken for Crooks by police, because at 5;49 pm all Wi-Fi, Internet and cell phone communications were jammed at ARG building complex.
Never heard that before,something similar to the attack on X last week? 😮
@@EastonUlster At 5:49 pm all security cameras live video recordings on ARG building complex were knocked out.
The "jamming" was actually a cellular overload for that area. It continued intermittently until after 7pm. You could get a signal if you repowered or cycled airplane mode off and on. I made a call around 2 min after the shooting.
_Upload a picture to your channel, you just screenshot and hit the + symbol on YT_ if not it's just more false Info.
Where are you getting the “jammed” info from?
Sounds like just another internet rumor.
Based on this footage can not tell for sure about shot 9 probably the local sniper but the kill shot on crooks shot 10 appears to be from the swat sniper on the ground from a standing position. It appears that shot 9 and 10 came from the local swat team member. If this is true means secret service didn’t fire at all. Local man appears to have definitely made kill shot on crooks. Can’t tell where shot 9 came from exactly.
Absolutely agree. Now that Gray has the sound track from Dayve Stewart's video lined up with the other videos, if you pay attention to the sound of the shots and watvh camo guy on the ground, you can clearly see he took the final 10th shot. I think you may be right that he took the 9th shot also. We don't have a clear view of his upper body then, but his legs look like they are in a shooting stance.
The SWAT guy didnt seem to react after the shooting as I would imagine he would. Every other law enforcement officer was booking it…..
Thank you, Gray!
Yes, @bobgreene3539, it does not look like Crooks is aiming his rifle when those first 3 shots were fired. I think a 2nd sniper shooter took those first 3 shots from a window position in the 2nd story open window of the AGR building!
OMG that is so creepy seeing him walking around the venue up close like that.
Interesting video ✨️ great stuff
Here from Paramount
Much Love in the Chat
"Make yourself small bro I don't know what's going on" is heard on all 3 videos and no it's not radio chatter WHAT THE HECK!!! 18:11:33 OMG Dave Stewart has an earpiece 😮
I think it's Dave talking to someone, because it's so clear on his original video. His own mic picked it up. On these videos, the sound tracks are combined to synchronize multiple views. You might be looking at one view and hearing sound from another.
@@johnwsimpson3153look at all the videos at the time stamp 18:11:33 you can here the same voice
Thats Crazy!! You can see him for a brief second right after the first shot on the officers body cam!!!
Gray, observing from Flanders/Belgium. Your video montage, at 14:11-12-13-14-15 we hear the first three shots, yet it looks to me Crooks is not shooting, not even aiming his rifle. No flash, exloding powder or bust of air! Where did the sound then came from? The 'Open Window' behind, 10 meters left? The protocol always commands: Window Closed!!!
So you belive two people shot at Trump?
Most people with AR15s have flash suppressors on the end of the barrel. Images of Crooks' shows it had a flash suppressor. Legth of barrel also matters. An 18" barrel verses a 16" barrel is less prone to flash. Type of ammo used too can affect no flash. So people should not expect a flash with each shot fired. What do you expect to see from exploding powder? A puff of smoke? That doesn't happen with an AR. The powder used today is smokless powder. Look it up, it's a thing. Smokeless powder, by design, causes less soot build up in the rifle. Excess soot buildup can cause the rifle to foul. He's not firing a musket for Christ's sake. Ever shoot a muzzle loader with non-smokeless powder.? Can't shoot many shots without it getting gunked up with soot and fouling. Pyrodex is a smokeless powder. That's what I use when I reload.
You watch too much Hollywood.
exactly...how can no one else see this????
@@BOEBAH _modern amunition dosent make big smoke or flash._
You thinking of movies or a musket
@@ifv2089 Figure of speach!
Then, where is the rifle? Behind the roof's ridge? Is Crooks shooting three(!) shots from the hip? Thus, reaching target as well?!
For sure an Expert Sniper! I myself was a Para-Commando (1967) with extensive FN assault rifle practice... With recoil(law of physics) for sure!
Gray: never more proud to be a Freak than being called a “dumbass” for respectfully disagreeing with the Odinist theory on another channel…That kool-aid they sip is potent!! Thanks Gray for your professionalism!!
Some insane sht !😮
That is not Crooks at the beginning . That is Yearick . Do a comparison photo . Also the van they said belonged to Crooks had Arizona plates . Yearick was from arizona . I dont hear anything about thus from youtubers
Nobody ever mentions this but those last loud screams from a woman I think are when Crooks get shot right in front of her cause I think she’s on the other side of the building with that whole group that saw him on the roof and yelled out to the cops. I could be wrong but it’s possible. Either that or a family member or audience member realizing a person was shot, maybe the fireman’s family. What an awful scream ☹️.
Thank you
Outstanding work! You’re definitely one of my go to’s on the Trump shooting! Your content has been incredibly consistent, thorough and extremely informative and insightful! Thank you for keeping this historical story alive!
So I’d really love to know who the guy is that yelled “He’s got a gun!” Somebody needs to find him and interview him.
Also, the ESU guy at the fence in the camo gear is so calm after the shooting, like exceptionally calm. I wish we knew for sure if he really is the man behind shot 9?
There is just so much about this day that makes you just scratch your head in disbelief. Why are so many guys dressed similarly? Is that just another one of those coincidences?
Old guy here. Is it possible that the patsy/crooks knew the undercover officers because he recognized them from a possible encounter at the gun range from prior exposures, then proceeded to dress similar to them as to throw off the cops he didn’t know? Basically using the under covers as a layer of confusion in their search for him? At this point, I’m wondering if patsy WAS even crooks! Or if crooks and yearick were together, and it was crooks assignment to just walk around, as a distraction, as he was similarly dressed as the UCs to garner ALL the suspicion, while giving someone else an unguarded path to the roof of the AGR building to give them the chance to commit the crime. The fbi has already tampered with the body having it cremated. Did the coroner release it to them or did the parents do this? I’m just frustrated and confused over this whole stinky clusterf*ck of a mess. All misdirection and NO concrete facts.
The very same thing went on at the Boston marathon. They use several almost identical persons on the same event.
At this moment there is no one that can claim Thomas Crooks was on the roof.
The police who climbed up on the roof saw nothing.
The person doing push ups on the lower part of the sloped roof obviously was not the same person who sat on the wall outside the window.
They plant ideas in our heads.
The dead body was definitely crooks by identification
@@Drottninggatan2017The dead person on the roof that shot at Trump was crooks,he was identified
the boston marathon@@Drottninggatan2017 seriously! That one was quite clearly wrapped up in investigation.
The name Yearick keeps popping up... There was a white van with Arizona plates owned by Yearick abandoned near the event, and there has been no explanation as to what connection if any there was to Crooks. At least I haven't seen anything. Anybody know anything about it?
Wish you could also add the video from the west side as he turned and looked their way after the 9th shot. I believe the rest of that video will show when he was taken out. I think, not sure but I think the screaming in the background at the 10th shot was by the women yelling he’s got a gun.
I'd like to know who the woman is and ask her why she was at that fence facing away from Trump. She watches Dave run but doesn't move even when Big Lungs screams HES GOT A GUN. I'm not suspicious of her, just wonder what she saw that made her stand there watching. She didn't react until shots. Everything she did is normal except for being at that fence alone watching the chaos across from her. It's not clear what she could see or hear. I wish we could hear from a lot more eyewitnesses and see the videos. Thank you for your good and hard work. 👍🏻💪🏻🇺🇲
She is Margo Martin, part of Trump's team.
Hi. Look at 18:11:55-18:11:56 the 3. window. ?
@@andrewkendall7814 Bingo!!
📌
@andrewkendall7814 OMG! She must've heard something and decided to go see for herself. Something I would do. Probably thought Trump was shot. I feel bad for what she must have gone through. Thank you, that satisfied my curiosity.✌🏻
Great video. Really interesting
Watch the vents in the wall below Crooks open and close at 8:53 minutes. Also notice the video has been blurred right below the roofline then a black sidebar blocks the view of the vents for the next two shots. At 8:22 minutes you can see one of the vents opening just before the shooting.
The guy is shouting, "He's got a gun!" Secret Service didn't move Pres. Trump out of the stage. Just think about that for a moment.
They didn’t hear that.
The guy who shouted that was 150 yards from the stage.
You Are So Right And Please Hit The Thumbs Up 👍
If really 4.26 pm that Crooks seen at rallygrounds, then who did that swat officer who left saw at that time at the picnic table at AGR grounds? Was the officer mistaken, or lying or ...? Was watching again the video of the hoisted cop, that picnic table was quite a distance from the door he exited, why did he find Crooks sitting there suspicious?
The fact that he got up on the roof is amazing, fail, fail, fail, no excuses whatsoever, the officer should have been screaming to get Trump off the stage but fail to no avail!!! The feds, the local and all included in the investigation withheld the information because there was so much to go through, imagine how many phones they must have collected and time spent putting together the timeline of events, this is amazing the information this Gray hughes has put together with what limited information he had!

This is just like the movie "vantage point".
When you zoom in on Crooks, I think it's strange that you can't make out the AR15. We see a head. If he was looking down the barrel I don't see how we'd have that view. Have you gone a frame at a time to see if that isn't just a head that isn't even moving? Some have said they believe he was already dead and didn't even take the shoots. If he's not moving and you can't see the gun that would make sense.
All smart phones have cameras...
the sheriff at the fence, to the right of the woman, is the one that got crooks, correct? dudes cold, zero reaction, zeroed and shot, then raised his hand to get his ck 😅
Thumb 12 reporting in
I heard that guy in the grey suit was in charge. He has a phone in his hand he probably texted crooks when to go up on the roof lol f these people
I scanned RSB video, nothing on it (although I did see myself a couple times). The vid you have is evidently from much later in the day, you can tell by the shadows pointing east (the trump souvenir stands were on the western side of Buttercup Lane.
The exact location of the vid you have of Crooks walking is 40°51'16.6"N 79°58'28.8"W
I took a photo about 20 feet further north of that location, recognized it.
Curious, Butler police shooter who first hits Crooks at the end of the 5 shot sequence, how long do you believe he saw Crooks before he shot and how long did he have him in his rifle’s sight before he fired? I can’t tell from the frame we first see this officer if he had his rifle in a firing position. This is important. Was he tracking Crooks before Crooks fired, or after Crooks first fired? I suspect it was after Crooks first fired, but I am not sure. If tracking him with his sight before Crooks fired, that’s scary implications.
If you watch the SS camera behind the big truck, you can see the SWAT guy walking towards where he stopped, took aim, and fired. You can see him on his way when the SS was on the opposite side of the truck, then you see him stopping and taking aim as the SS makes it to the other side to walk beside the truck bracing.
This reminds me of that movie VANTAGE POINT
So strange also last words from Trump before shooting,, take a look what happen..
Imagine what we would have had if the final shot not fired. An assassin with disabled weapon surrounded. Maybe some answers. Who ordered the CS to pivot and when? Crooks had no survival instincts or was assured the cs team wouldn't readjust. Many ?????? Drone situation is ridiculous. Someone surely saw or filmed him or his machine 2 hrs before T came on.
Im a drone pilot. A small drone is nearly invisible at a 100 feet. I didn't see it. Probably because I was facing away.
I believe Crooks went on a su * cide mission. Death by cop (or sniper). I also believe that Hercules 2 (north facing snipers) alerted Hercules 1 to turn around and scan for a threat. They saw the commotion at AGR, but had a partially blocked view due to trees. This is the only thing that makes sense since neither team had comms with the locals and didn't know an armed man was on the roof.
@@Mustangmom2k I don't think it was suicide. In fact, I think that his Fireworks Remote Control (for his bombs) found next to him was brought to explode the devices in his car.....and make a distraction so he could get away to become "famous". Unfortunately, he was being hunted and he knew it, and took a rushed shot, ruining his plans.
"infamous "
@@Mustangmom2k I am curious to know what story they sold for Crooks, the death, I don t believe 1,5 m $ ok, but on the roof : what ? The insurance he will not be killed ? And with the bomb s remote he could go away ?
Who was that girl and why was she looking over that way??? She wasn’t interested in see Trump like everyone else!
Margo Martin...
Her CS name is whispering death fart or Wisky Delta Alpha. She big time sf influencer
The officer running towards the AGR building obviously was local and heard "gunman on roof" on radio. He 6 behind Trump's position on way toward AGR.
Too bad he didn't yell to Trump's detail.
Maybe he thought they knew???
how can the young man be that calm, was he on drugs maybe? hard to see a 20 year old with no experience in that field be that cool - I mean not upset at all - it looks like that.
That woman might be Margo Martin. She works for DJT. She’s always getting footage for his social media etc…
How does the sniper knows there are no other shooters?
huh? what makes you think he didn't know. they didn't go on the roof for 5 minutes so probably were still looking. They took out the one known threat.
@@GrayHughesInvestigates
You think that all the shooters would be on that same roof?
And they let Trump stick his head up almost immediately. They knew the script all along.
It's highly likely based on all of the available evidence that he was being coached by someone on the inside of law enforcement or a government agency. Therefore, he's led to believe that he is protected and will not be taken out. They work to get people like Crooks to trust them, all the while knowing he will be killed during the operation they are preparing him for.
@@Drottninggatan2017 really! I mean the sniper takes one shot and then high five himself and gently walks away. He is not looking around to see if there are any sources of danger.
This may be a strange thing to notice, but Crook's shoes look two sizes too large for his feet (in the video where he is walking along the vendors row). Good work on these videos BTW.
He was probably wearing his daddy's shoes.
Strange, but at 08:28 & 12:06 horizontal slats appear in the small square wall plates on the south facing wall above the windows. Was this used as shooting ports, or was it just a camera effect from some self-focusing feature? I think Bret Weinstein observed this on his podcast last week. (The wall plates, not the slats appearing).
Quite a few people in the Peak Prosperity group have concluded shots 1-3 came from the vent immediately up and to the right of the center window of building 6. That's based on the first bullet hitting Trump's ear and then the back corner of the right side bleachers. You can get a free account and look in the comments for "so it's back to first principles" and "acoustic analysis..." Chris Martenson isn't nearly as persuaded as some people on his staff.
Thomas Crooks had his few minutes of being noticed and now he is gone forever at 20.
That lady was all there by herself and looking his way
That is the walk of a kid that has $1.1 million in foreign accounts!!!!

@@peedee-zo1yq no media...not one channel is denying it
doesn't look like first 3 shots he was shooting...
his ar15 was planted there by him or somebody else? obviously he has no weapon with him all along until he was on the roof
VERY ODD WHEN THE PUBLIC CAN SEE THE SHOOTER AND SHOUT OUT HES GOT A GUN , WHILE WATCHING HIM FROM GROUND LEVEL.
THOSE SECURITY IN HIGHER LEVELS SHOULD HAVE SEEN HIM.
THE PUBLIC CALLED OUT AND POINTED TO WEAR THE SHOOTER WAS , POLICE AMONGST THEM SHOULD Have RELAYED THE POSITION.
WERE THE POLICE/ SECURITY IN THE BUILDING WHERE CROOKS WAS CLIMBING ON THE ROOF ABOVE THEM DEAF OR DID THEY THINK IT WAS A BIG MOUSE.
In that one video when you can see Crooks raised up over the ridge when the first shots were being fired, can you see him looking through a scope or down the iron sites of a rifle? In this video, I could not distinguish his actual looking through a scope or aiming, but these compressed videos are crap. If you have an uncompressed video, look at it closely and freeze it right after the first shot where you can see him in the picture. Do you see him aiming?
@GrayHughesInvestigates How do you explain the fact that Dave's audio from the AGR fenceline does not pick up the sonic boom (crack) from the final (10th) shot which would have flown right over his position on the way to the roof? You only hear a very loud report, which would indicate the shot was fired in very close proximity, not hundreds of yards away.
You don't think that Maxwell Yearick (white van found) looks like 'the boy'?
OMG !!! :( :( :( ...
Looks like he is following the sunglasses mans lead rather than just walking along.
Anyone know if vendor tents are outside secured area?
I see the muzzle flash from the first floor window.
In the video where Crooks is walking ... the man before in the blue shirt, is he wearing a pistol (left side)?
Thats that wooz officer who could have gone against Crooks on the roof but ran away from him.
Thank you. The vendors- where were they? Inside or outside the parameters?
👍💥
Why does that guy in blue shirt and dark glasses look undercover ?
Like if you agree
Girl next to fence was the first one out of Trumps Motorcade vehicle according to other sources. Seems odd she's over there. SS never picked up the radios from Butler Police. Sniper took 16 seconds or was looking thru scope way too long. Inside job. Thank you Butler Police. I'd say those screams of horror are the gentleman that died wife or daughters. ✝️
no more demolition ranch videos for him
See how he swings both arms as he walks here but only one swings in the vid walking along the building as if perhaps he’s carrying / concealing something on his left side
Walking along the building video is poor, can't tell anything about left arm.

What does Crook's shirt say? The back appears to be an eagle.
Who said "make yourself small bro, I don't know what's going on"? It seems to a remark prior to the shooting and what alerted him?
That is Dayve Stewart, wearing the red shirt, who was filming just prior to the shooting. He saw all the cops with guns drawn and the commotion, so he knew something was happening, but didn't know what.
@@Mustangmom2k Thank you for the clarification.
That girl standing next to the fence knew something was up and so did the ESU sniper so why did it take so long for Hercules 2 to shoot?
They hand to pivot, setup gear, reorient, and get talked into target.
