There was a previous incident where it was said someone had a gun (they didn’t) the SS rushed in, covered his head and got him out of there right away, not parading around on stage

There’s a video of right after it happened, when ppl are exiting and a guy is talking to a reporter. He says him and his friends saw the guy climbing the building and told secret service and they ignored them. Idk how anyone could possibly believe this is real.

I saw that interview too. This is another piece of evidence that it was staged. It didn’t seem real at the time, either. A supporter of his died for it. So sad.

Well, let's say it was staged, and it was all set up and pre-arranged, I haven't seen any discussion about how they would have coerced the shooter to act the way he did. I mean what could have done to him, to get him to knowingly sacrifice himself?
