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!
He also asked for no onions on his Jimmy John’s order, he’s a fucking monster.
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!
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?
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.
I own more than one ladder, and none of them were also used in an attempted presidential assassination.
