To the Editor,
It could have been an episode from the highly popular and successful TV series "Homeland," starring Carrie Mathison. The real-life events of July 13, a 20-year-old Bethel Park 2022 honors graduate, who received an award in science and math, parked his vehicle packed with explosives and walked carrying an AR-15 rifle to a unsecured two-story building in direct line of fire sight that the Secret Service failed to secure and discharged mutable shots at former President Donald Trump. One bystander was killed, two others were wounded, one grazed the top of the ear of the Republican presidential nominee, with at least one passing bullet captured in a photo.
Let me make the case for the conspirators the idea of Thomas Matthew Crooks finding the building in direct line sight fire is just a little hard to swallow. We know that foreign governments like Iran have sent "hit teams "to the United States to carry out assignation plots against U.S. officials.
The way it was going to work was Trump would be killed the Secret Service snipers would kill Crooks. The entire event in Butler County would join the Grassy Noll yet another story for conspiracy-peddling critics to spend years visiting college campuses to give lectures about.
The truth never comes out because someone who was assigned the security position and did the initial review of the sight failed to cover the two-story building that is a mistake nothing happens. But when an assassin knows what building is unprotected and is less than two football fields away Saul Michael Berenson common sense kicks in. Some early reports have referred to him as a kitchen worker taking us back to Bobby Kennedy in 1968.
This is an inside job likely with foreign nationals as the conductors. In March, the FBI warned about Iranian spy allegedly plotting to kill U.S. officials.
God said not this time.
