    I mean… If you have the information why not share it? There’ll definitely be people asking

      Will there? Who was asking “did he buy a ladder that day? If so, did he use the ladder?”

      Did he also buy a pack of gum and a Snickers? We must know!

        Well, Muzz, I guess it’s just you, and… and me… and your balls… and this drawer.

        You don’t think there were people asking. “How did he even get on the roof? Did he buy a ladder or was there already One there? Why was there one already there?”

        Have you been in the comment sections of any of these?

          I think such people don’t need to be catered to. What he did not bring to his assassination attempt is not in any way relevant.

                Yeah we get it, you’re not creative enough to think of anything. Yeah he bought a ladder and left it at another building to make it seem like something else maybe. I’m sure you can think of a couple dozen situations easily yourself.

                Common tactic dude. Do you really need diversions explained to you….?

                    Why’s that important? The thing is you need to follow every possible lead, which is real, which is diversion, you don’t know till you check.

                    Take a break from the internet today dude, you’re already on the downswing.

                    I gave you an example, I’m not expanding the story, I’m sorry you can’t comprehend that.

          Explaining how he did get on the roof is one thing. Waste everyone’s time enumerating other ways he didn’t use is another.

        It was already reported he bought a ladder that day previously so this is probably to clear that up. I, at least, found it to be interesting info ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        All of his activities on that day are relevant to creating a complete picture of what occurred, and journalists choosing to withhold details and information is kind of a slippery slope?

        EDIT, including this here so it is higher up in this argument thread:

        Police will disclose and journalists will often report the number of weapons and ammo or any explosive devices found at the perpetrator’s home, even if they were not brought to the scene or used in the crime. I think the ladder is a detail in the same vein because it is equipment that he had available to him.

              So it’s not important that every detail be shared then.

              Good. Glad we got that cleared up.

                    Uhh, I am the user who said that… are you a bot that doesn’t contextualize by username, perhaps? Probably just a simple mistake by a human.

                    It’s a false equivalency: taking a shit is not equivalent to the shooter buying a ladder, and I don’t think any reasonable person or journalist would count how many times he used the bathroom as part of his activities.

                    That’s as much engagement of your semantic argument as you’re going to get out of me.
