Could you guys see this press conference?
00:03
Can you give us the highlights?
00:04
Yeah, they just showed a, they got a new video, kind of a camera angle where he exited the roof,
00:12
how he got down the building, jumped off the roof, kind of used his hand to get hold the gutter, waited to the last minute and dropped.
00:20
They got shoe imprints from his Converse shoes,
00:23
and then they show him running across the grass through the parking lot.
00:29
and uh yeah just across the grass to the street and that was it but you know earlier maybe because they don't have property of the video but TMZ had some pretty good video of him walking through a neighborhood Looks like it appears with a rifle down his pants.
00:48
And then they showed another version of it with him exiting the woods through the same path he took to come in, possibly going to a vehicle.
00:58
Who knows? But they show him entering through the neighborhood before they're shooting and then exiting through the woods after running after it happened.
01:07
You see that?
01:08
No, I'll see if I can find that.
01:10
So, they haven't released the name, though, have they?
01:11
Negative, nothing.
01:12
That sure is funny, I thought for sure the FBI would be showing that TMZ video.
01:17
That's a better shot than more video than they have, but maybe they don't have property rights to it.
01:21
I'm guessing. I think the FBI doesn't care they do whatever the hell they want in a situation like this.
01:27
But who knows? Yeah,
01:29
so, yeah, it's an ongoing investigation.
01:32
They don't want to show their hand.
01:34
I'm sure they know a lot more than they're telling us.
01:38
You know, that's just common sense there.
01:40
I believe they know who the suspect is.
01:43
whether the guy's alive or dead is the question.
01:46
Did he off himself? Was he a Manchurian candidate? Did he get offed? Is he hiding?
01:53
The longer it takes for them to find him, the longer I think, yeah, the guy probably opt himself.
02:03
So they tend to do.
02:04
Yeah, I agree.
02:05
They did get some pretty good prints, I guess, palm prints, fingerprints, when he left the roof.
02:10
So you know they're working on it, but it's probably going to be a suicide by a cop when they find him.
02:16
He's breaking off himself.
02:17
Well, just the fact that there was some photos released.
02:20
The guy was identified, I bet, you know, rather quick.
02:23
Somebody knows who that guy is.
02:24
This is too high profile.
02:26
There are too many people pissed off about it.
02:28
They'd be like, oh, that's freaking Joe.
02:30
He lives next door. You know, 9-1-1.
02:32
You know, so, yeah, they know.
02:35
This is not tipping their hand.
02:37
Yeah, just what I was predicting, you know, he does have a backpack.
02:41
It's probably got a change of clothes in it and a handgun.
02:44
Looks like it's stuffed with something.
02:47
But, yeah, I don't know, man.
02:50
They'll find him.
02:51
There's too much going for him.
02:52
They got some good evidence.
02:53
And just a matter of time.
02:54
I bet you're in 24 hours they get a name.
02:56
So I'm watching the TMZ video, yeah, he's limping.
03:07
That's probably prior to the incident.
03:10
He's carrying the,
03:11
you know, like you said, he pants the gun.
03:13
Hey Dave, there's new video on Fox News, but yeah, he had the gun in his, down his leg of his pants when he went there.
03:20
When he flees and he scales the wall and jumps down from the roof, there ain't no rifle there, so I don't know where they really found that rifle.
03:27
When you watch the video, you're like, no, that rifle got left up on scene.
03:30
Well, you know how they do it, Roy, right? Little this, little that, you know, throughout little disinformation.
03:37
That way when they, you know, find the suspect, the suspect's like, it wasn't it.
03:41
What do you mean in the bushes? No, I was on the roof.
03:43
Yeah, you know that plays out.
03:44
So, all right.
03:45
Well, interesting.
03:46
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm watching this.
03:47
Oh, there's another shot here on TMZ.
03:50
What's the update? I'm listening.
03:52
On Fox News, after the shooting, he's in a full sprint, running across the rooftop, scales down, just kind of like a Spider-Man jump, takes off running.
04:02
So I'm looking for the rifle.
04:04
I don't see the rifle anywhere.
04:05
Unless it's a collapsible stock that he put back in the backpack, which I don't think he had.
04:10
If you watch the video, I'm watching on Fox News, there's no way.
04:13
There's no rifle there. And he's full running.
04:14
Yeah, good call.
04:15
I didn't catch that.
04:16
There's an accomplice then.
04:17
Maybe he dropped the rifle and somebody grabbed it.
04:19
That's crazy.
04:20
How to get in the woods?
04:21
The FBI should have been pointing that out.
04:22
Hey, we found a rifle in the woods.
04:24
We're kind of tossed up that it doesn't appear to have it when he dropped off the roof.
04:29
Crazy. I've seen a little video clip with TNC yesterday.
04:32
They were apologizing.
04:33
I guess during the announcement of all this, they had some people in the background are laughing and they were doing full PR just trying to cover their ass and just highly apologizing.
04:43
And I guess, I don't know, I don't like TMZ.
04:46
That guy's a weird out.
04:47
People in the newsroom laughing? Yeah, in the background.
04:50
They were laughing at the scenario, and then they were doing a PR release.
04:53
I think it was on Instagram last night, was TMZ on Instagram.
04:56
And, yeah, him and the Black Doe were just dear dire straits, doing the super apology.
05:02
It was during one, it was a live stream, too.
05:04
It wasn't during their live TV recording for their show, but it was during their day-to-day live stream.
05:08
Yeah, you know, it just shows the heart of these people.
05:11
You know, they say one thing, but that's not what's in their heart.
05:14
You know, TMZ freaking Judge Watner lawyer guy, and, you know, it's media, it's Hollywood, what do you expect? People are brainwashed.
05:25
Ha ha ha ha, ha, ha,
05:27
ha, ha, you know,
05:28
I don't know. You know, at the same time, you know, it's a hatred in your heart that brings it on.
05:35
And I've been guilty of that, too.
05:38
you. You know,
05:39
so I cannot throw stones.
05:42
I guess what he said, what they said, what they were laughing at, was a police chase.
05:47
It ended in a car crash.
