The Video of James Copenhaver

All the videos of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump should be checked for their veracity and correspondence with reality.  The video from James Copenhaver has images that differ from reality exceedingly.  FOX 5 News says “this was the video Copenhaver took as the shooting happened.”  He was seated in the bleachers to the left of president Trump.  James Copenhaver says that he (Copenhaver) was hit by the second bullet.  The first bullet struck president Trump.  So, he would have been hit about a second later randomly.  He was shot in the arm and in the stomach (NY Post).

The AGR building in the video of James Copenhaver (74) is seen as being right next to the rally, and to say too proximate to the stage feels like an understatement because it is so close to the rally that there is no grassy area between the AGR building and the rally in his video, an area estimated by CNN to be 120 to 150 meters long.  The background behind the building in his video does not show the actual buildings that are behind the AGR building.  His video is the first link (below).  Besides such problems with structures and distances in the video, there are physical impossibilities with how it shows the man on the roof (the head on the roof, mostly).   There are undeniable falsehoods in the video he shared with the media.

The head shown on the roof moves fast to the right (from the viewer’s perspective).  It is a low-sloped roof, and for the shooter’s head to be seen moving that fast, he would have had to be running at a lower point of the roof, and his head would then not be seen from ground level like the video shows it; and, vice versa, anyone who in that position would stop and look to his right would not see the rally even if it were right next to it.

Otherwise, for the head to move as in the video, the man would have to be crawling right next to the uppermost point of the roof, but the head moves in a vertical position and at a speed which is incompatible with the idea of anyone crawling on the roof.  I estimate he moves about ten yards like that.

The video fails any test for veracity and correspondence with reality.  The man can’t be running on the roof because we would not see him, and he can’t be crawling because the head is moving too fast, and it’s actually moving as if he were running.  It’s something fake, obviously.

The head shown disappears in the video for a time and then reappears at the spot from which he then presumably fired the 8 shots.  The video ends just before the man fired the first shot, so it ends shortly before Donald Trump was hit in the ear.   The media does not ask questions, the FBI does not investigate, any video is welcomed…

People are supposed to imagine whatever is missing before and after, and accept this video as another proof against the young man (Crooks).  But who wants to accept this video, even if it’s provided by the second man struck on July 13, when it is so.

None of such videos demonstrates, or can demonstrate, that the young man (Thomas Crooks) was the shooter.  Instead, the fact they show false images which don’t correspond with reality, that can’t pass any reality test, changes the facts of the crime altogether (logically speaking).  The video may be from James Copenhaver, who indicates he was struck right after Trump, but that’s not the AGR building because the AGR building is at least 120 meters away from the rally area, with a lot of grass in-between, and therefore that head in the video is not the head of the 20-year-old either.  Maybe it’s just a “head,” but in a video with such in-your-face falsehoods, it doesn’t even matter what the head is or to whom it belongs.

Let’s pay attention to James Copenhaver’s message about what happened that day, and look for general information:

“Mr. Copenhaver, 74, is from Moon Township, Pa. Records showed that he was registered as a Democrat.”  The New York Times – 7/14/24.

FOX 5 Atlanta (8/2/24):  “He told his attorney that the assassination attempt was sad, his wounds were unnecessary tragedy and it shows the country’s political division.”  His lawyer said on this news program, “He wants people to understand that it does not have to be like this.”

Don’t be like that, he says.  The shooter has been treated by some as if he were a good illustration of how Americans are as persons now.  The FBI calls it “domestic terrorism.”  Since it began as foreign terrorism, the American people are supposed to have learned it from Osama bin Laden.  Then that (fake?) position expands on why it’s “domestic,” and then, as we know, the people as a whole are told not to be like that, and that’s not really the end of it, since this “new reality” continues as far as it can go.  If you don’t understand that there can’t be “domestic” terrorism, you can’t be a so-called public servant (only a “public oppressor”).  “What starts wrong ends wrong.”

Fox 5 Atlanta: “Now this was the video Copenhaver took as the shooting happened.  Feltman, his attorney, said he was in shock and at first didn’t notice the second bullet hitting him.”

So, he must have filmed the first two shots.

Here is the video from James Copenhaver, 0:28 – 1:35 or so

I include this link to the NY Post.  It shows the face of the dead man; his body had been turned around, but only they know what the original position of the body was.  In the footage above, the body is seen facing down and also facing up.  The location of the wound is clearer than the identity of the man.
