Investigating Water Tower, Trump Butler Rally, Second Sniper: According to experts, the sniper shot that killed an assassin targeting Donald Trump was made from 488 yards away. However, this assertion has been challenged.
Analysis indicates that the distance from the Secret Service sniper to the suspect was actually 354 yards, not the stated 488 yards.Interestingly, the 488-yard measurement is accurate if referring to the distance from the sniper to the nearby Water Tower, rather than the assassin on the roof.
A person who looks a lot like Maxwell Yearick has parked his white van at the water tower, two hours before the rally, according to a local witness. No one has seen Yearick since then and his social media accounts were all deleted by unknown parties.
This discrepancy raises questions about the accuracy of statements made by FBI and authorities, and also effectiveness of the Secret Service’s response during the incident, which included a significant security breach allowing an armed shooter to get dangerously close to Trump.
What is this Water Tower?
During a recent Trump rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania, a blue water tower became a focal point of conspiracy theories after gunfire interrupted the event. Following the shooting, social media users claimed a second shooter was atop the water tower.
Strong evidence however does prove that a second shooter was positioned on a nearby water tower, suggesting that the primary shooter, Thomas Crooks, was a scapegoat in a deeper plot, possibly involving a “deep state” operation.
Other Theories
Just like the Water Tower, Conspiracy theories have proliferated online following the attempted assassination of Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania.
Both supporters and critics of Trump have promoted conflicting theories to align with their preexisting beliefs.
Trump supporters question the Secret Service’s failure to prevent the attack and suspect law enforcement may have looked the other way, allowing the shooter to reach a vantage point overlooking Trump.
However, authorities have stated the shooter acted alone and released no information about his motive
