14 minutes 40 seconds longer than it should have taken.

Even if this guy is clinically schizo, the SS didn’t know that when he was spotted. He could have been a Sapper, like in Vietnam War days. He could have been an ISIS suicide bomber jihadi. He should have been seen and taken down within seconds.

I have been to DC and walked around the WH outside the fences.

There are sensors all up and down the fence in the landscaping bushes, etc.

If they were defective, why are they not tested every day?

If they were operating properly, then someone was asleep...................

Can’t. The public sidewalk is all around the WH.

You can lean on it, even stick your hand thru it and pick a flower in season..................

I’m convinced this was done deliberately! They let that man walk around the lawn hoping something bad would happen! But the good and faithful few agents spotted him or else he would’ve gone all the way into the residency at the White House where Trump was....I’m 100% convinced that not all SS agents care for the president’s safety....or even taking their oath seriously... just look at how many mishaps have happened in these few months that Trump has been in office! How much more evidence do we need when a SS agent takes a selfie with President Trump’s grandson! That speaks volumes! Those agents are treating him like an illegitimate president....Trump better have his loyal guards with him 24/7! I always had high regards for the secret service agency ...but now everything has changed ...the CIA FBI and the SS agents the whole ball of wax are treating our President like dirt! In DC you can’t trust no one! This is like living in Russia I never thought I would see our government stoops so low and so ugly and so vindictive and so evil!!

Those Hollywood movies showing the White House attacked were not fiction, they were training videos.

President Trump needs to fire the entire White House Secret Service force and then bring in his own personal security people.

Obviously, the US Secret Service has fallen to levels of incompetence beyond belief. Alcohol binges, sex binges, selfies with children they were assigned to protect, continual failures to maintain the safety of the White House and its grounds. A band of baboons would be more effective than these incompetents.

.........affirmative action, everybody get’s a trophy, no accountability, no ass chewings ever, no firings, anytime anywhere unless the person being held accountable is an adult white male.............

............and, voila! no surprise at all !!!

The fix is to turn over White House Security to an organization that has some accountability such as a battalion of U.S. Marines..............

Read the whole article....ef’n Keystone Kops movie. Long delays reacting to sensor alerts, guy hiding behind tree, had the ninja nutcase on earlier video, on and on. Given the time the ninja was on site, he could have sat on the lawn and built a bomb from stuff in his backpack.

Send the whole lot packing to Ice Station Aholi for 20 year tour of duty counting walrus tires and bring in Marines from DC USMC Barracks.

Sensors embedded in the ground. Motion control trip wire across the fence as well. Anyone climbing the fence and walking around on the property would be a dot on a map of the grounds with a camera zoomed in on them with alarms and lights going off. They should be arrested in seconds.

Looks like the Secret Service waits for someone to knock on the White House door before they do anything.

I met a woman at a wedding last year. Someone asked her what her husband did for a living and she said he was a former Secret Service Agent. She then proceeded to tell us that she was no longer proud to tell people.
