SIMULATION PROVES ONE SHOOTER:
Strong argument that Chris Martenson is wrong and that Thomas Matthew Crooks was the sole shooter. Here’s why:
- First Three Shots: Crooks took his first three shots from the prone position, with his head and shoulders exposed over the rooftop peak. He aimed carefully, with his first shot hitting the president in the ear. These shots were controlled and disciplined.
- Next Five Shots: Crooks’ next five shots were also from the prone position, but it seemed he pulled back slightly to make his head and shoulders less exposed to the counter-sniper. This would change the sound since the rifle was farther behind the rooftop peak. These shots were taken wildly and without control. The counter-sniper who fired the .50 caliber round that hit Crooks stated that by the time he had him in his sights, he could only see Crooks’ gun scope and the top of his eye and forehead as most of his body was obscured by the top of the roofline.
- Second Shooter Theory: If there was a second shooter intent on hitting Trump, why would he have fired so wildly? He was never seen by the counter-snipers and was never discovered. Why wouldn’t he shoot in a controlled and disciplined manner? It doesn’t add up. Moreover, why was he “allowed” to escape instead of being eliminated to ensure his silence? Convincing people of two shooters wouldn’t be any more difficult than convincing them of one.
- Audio Analysis: Robert C. Maher, a gunfire acoustics expert at Montana State University in Bozeman, analyzed the gunshots. He found that two bursts of shots were fired. Both the first round of three shots and the second of five shots were fired approximately 330 to 390 feet from the C-SPAN microphone Trump was speaking into. This location matched the suspect’s position. There was no significant difference in the sound of the eight shots, suggesting they likely came from the same firearm.
- Flawed Audio Evidence: Chris Martenson, PhD, relied on audio that showed differences of 30ms. This audio went through multiple rounds of compression on devices with unknown latency, using a mic with directionality (given tonality differences), on a device facing several different directions throughout the clip. iPhones and Android phones use DSPs to process, predict, and filter sounds, focusing on various sources. This reliance on multiple uncontrolled audio sources likely caused the discrepancies.
Based on these points, it’s clear to me that there was only one shooter: Thomas Matthew Crooks.
