    No way it was staged!

    I absolutely hate to admit this, but in Finland one big
    trash tabloid called Iltalehti has interviewed a so-called
    expert gunman. Their "expert" fits Iltalehti well, as he is a
    totally crazy conspiracy theorist who claims that the US
    authorities knew in advance of this murder attempt and
    that they allowed it to happen.

    Here is a link to this sick tabloid, use translator
    software to figure it out in case you do not know Finnish:

    https://www.iltalehti.fi/ulkomaat/a/cdd3fde3-5fec-4d07-94fa-4c93f0646cea

    Nowadays 99,9% of Iltalehti stories are just total shit.
    I really mean that this magazine is beyond awful!

    I read Iltalehti only to be informed about their lies and
    delusions: I want to know about the disinformation they
    are spreading...

    Let me help you a bit. Here comes the beef of the article.
    The "expert" gunman says in Finnish:

    "Pikkasen herää se ajatus, ettei hän nyt ihan vahingossa
    ole voinut sinne [katolle] päätyä. Kyllä siinä jonkinlainen
    Lee Harvey Oswald -kuvio saattaa olla. Kyllä tässä on
    täytynyt olla viranomaisten tahallinen huolimattomuus kyseessä."

    My quick 'n dirty translation into English:

    ======================================================
    I kinda begin to think that he could not end up there
    [on the roof] just by accident. It could be some kind
    of a Lee Harvey Osward case. This carelessless by the
    authorities must have been on purpose. ======================================================

    Well, we have roughly 6 million citizens and I guess
    1 million reads Iltalehti daily. Lots of stupid bastards
    Iltalehti's lies without blinking an eye.

    Well, as Hanlon's Razor states: Never attribute to malice that which can
    be adequately explained by neglect, ignorance or incompetence.

    Exactly.

    It also appears that the security snipers did have him in their sights,
    but were too squeamish to shoot first & didn't see the weapon clearly?

    Since surely if they/he saw the weapon they should have fired first...
