blackbird Posted July 21, 2024 Report Posted July 21, 2024 (edited) News reported that the shooter was able to get on a rooftop with a clear shot to the ex President. How is that possible? Doesn't sound like they covered all bases. Who was responsible for what appears to be a major failure? Edited July 21, 2024 by blackbird Quote

How is that possible? Doesn't sound like they covered all bases. Who was responsible for what appears to be a major failure? Yeah. There are a bunch of aspects here. The first is the quantity of assets used. It appears they were underhanded and under equipped. The second is poor decision making. Apparently they let the local snipers set up in a window rather than on the same roof were the shooter ended up. The third is poorly trained agents. We saw the agents that couldn't holster a gun. The other aspect is, WHY ARE YOU PUTTING YOUR GUN AWAY WHEN THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN SHOT? There are legitimate questions about whether the site was appropriate. Why didn't they use the tractor to block line of site from that roof if they couldn't cover it? Etc etc etc. It'll be a year before we have a comprehensive explanation of all the failures. Quote Don't you think that if I were wrong that I would know it?
