Who brings a ladder to peaceful protest?

Other possibilities include (b) Antifa/BLM agents provocateurs, who were in fact sighted, or
(c) it was already there.

Put down the crack pipe and step away from the ledge.

That's more the practice of the aforementioned BLM/Antifa types.

Hate to disappoint you, but I fall more instead into the category of carefully minded Ivy-credentialed independent investigator with enough media experience to know to question their @$$es in detail. But you're welcome to the MSM koolaid if you insist.

So you are claiming to know something the FBI, Congress, DCPD and the US National Guard don't know. How fascinating you must be. Why do you waste your time on imgflip and not become a multimillion dollar lobbyist?

Not what they don't know; what they suppress. I guess the most basic, elementary analysis is not your bag.

And it's silly to pretend that qualified people always gravitate towards where they're useful instead of unqualified. You would probably find few years of Dilbert cartoons instructive.

I'm rich so I will pay for your 1 way flight to any country you desire...let me know

Prove you have the money, son.
