A Crooked Story of Roofs: If It Looks Like a Duct . . .
This is not the roof Crooks was seen on
Please compare the building in the images below, orienting your mental images by the supposed position of Crooks and what appear to be five vertical ducts [UPDATE: 2024-07-23. 4:27 Eastern Time: Or what I first called “ducts” throughout this article may be the pillared edges of stalls, as in a car ports, perhaps—or possibly both stalls and rain ducts. Again, I would appreciate better interpretations that you may have. For simplicity, I will continue to merely refer to these structures as “ducts.”]
Figure 1, above. Notice the five vertical, what appear to be, “ducts” in this still picture from a video in a broadcast by ABC News. The figure climbing the roof is identified by authorities as Thomas Crooks soon before he allegedly began shooting in the direction of former President Trump and supposedly wounding his right ear.
The full video from which the still photo is taken in Figure 1 should be reviewed. That video can be accessed here:
Where are those “ducts” in Video 1, as in relation to where we are to understand was the firing position of Mr. Crooks identified in the video and in emphasized in the still photo captured and seen in Figure 1?
The same question can be asked regarding Figure 2.
Figure 2, above. The blurred spot of censoring we are told is the location of Thomas Crook’s body atop the AGR building.
The view in Figure 2 does not seem to have the five vertical “ducts.” Can you find them? There is the ladder that Crooks supposedly use to gain access to the roof.
What exactly am I not understanding about where Crooks climbed the roof and where he positioned himself in relation to, what appear to be, five vertical “ducts” In the video where the people at ground level, admittedly at a distance—but on the opposite side of the building from Crook’s firing position—seem to be able to see him atop the building. That geometric relationship needs resolving in my mind.
