Like Luigi Mangione executing his attack very precisely, but having an instance where he was filmed with his mask off. The shooter could be someone who is skilled using a rifle, but not a trained assassin and makes a weird choice like carrying the rifle off the roof to dump in the woods when it would have been easier to just leave on the roof.

I'm not minimizing Trump/Patel using this as a Reichstag fire or that they even could have staged this for that purpose. But, carrying the gun to the woods before dumping it isn't necessarily a suspicious detail. If someone who isn't a professional does something extreme like this, their adrenaline has to be jacked and doing it must feel surreal - they might make a strange choice in the moment.

Remove a few screws, fits in a backpack, just like a bomb. Silent Type Sep 12 #15

Does it? An "imported Mauser .30-06 bolt-action rifle"? Quickly broken down to fit in backpack? still-prayin4rain Sep 12 #17

Couple of screws, that simple. And you could probably set it up with quick release if you wanted. So, what do you think? Silent Type Sep 12 #18

I don't know anything about guns. The pictures of that particular gun on the internet don't look like it could easily still-prayin4rain Sep 12 #21

The guy in the photos looked like he may have had a prosthetic leg (right side). C Moon Sep 12 #25

Or maybe a barrel and stock strapped to his leg under his pants? AZJonnie Sep 12 #26

I guess it's the same guy. They said he was wearing Converse shoes in the photos. C Moon Sep 12 #28

Here's the photo I'm referring to (there's something strange with his right leg). I'm sure others have noticed: C Moon Sep 12 #30

That's what I've been wondering, too. I would assume a rifle shooting a target that far away Vinca Sep 12 #32
