Clowns like crook are easily manipulated and seek admiration. I don’t believe for a second that he was able to act so conspicuously without anyone being aware. Given the nature of fascist movements and his own professed fascist leanings, I believe it was allowed to occur.
His position, on the roof with a gun, was filmed by other attendees, who then informed the police.
The problem that led to the event being ‘allowed to occur’ was basically a communication breakdown caused by poor management of the relevant security in the area.
You had the Secret Service detail, the local police, two snipers from the local SWAT team, and a bunch of other police from nearby precincts/counties… communication between all these people was not exactly great, many areas that one group thought was being covered by another group weren’t, and a big part of that was that the entire event was planned hastily, in a short amount of time.
Go watch the hearings that took place after this, its clear that many people mismanaged and rushed the planning and operations parts of the security scenario.
Anyway… by the time enough police near Crooks location had been informed of attendees seeing Crooks on the roof, with a rifle, the cops literally went up the ladder Crooks had set up, worked their way up to the roof where Crooks was.
Why did it take so long for the cops to realize a ladder against that building was suspicious, that Crooks wasn’t supposed to be there?
Because they didn’t even know where the counter snipers were actually set up, and were radioing everyone to figure out whether or not the reports of a rifleman on Crooks’ roof were part of their own security team or not.
When the cop climbing the ladder got his head up, he saw Crooks pointing his gun directly at him and instinctinvely ducked back down.
Crooks then hastily took his shots within seconds, and was then game overed by the Sec Srvc sniper who already had eyes on and was awaiting authorization to fire.
Sure, you could say this was allowed to happen in the sense of it being a shitshow of something like 4 or 5 different groups of security personnel being slapdashed into a makeshift plan…
… but there is no evidence of anyone having prior knowledge that specifically Crooks was planning this, there is no evidence Crooks was entrapped into doing what he did, no evidence any of the security team specifically looking the other way for specifically Crooks to get into position.
It was a collosal fuck up, not a plot.
If it was a plot to ‘almost’ assasinate Trump, it was an insane one. Trump was half an inch away from his head getting Gallagher smashed.
It makes no fucking sense to stage a fake assasination with such razor thin margins of error.

The theorists alleged that trump used a blood packet and he wasn’t actually shot at. But yeah, stupid overall.
