Don’t know who they were, don’t know ROE for LEO snipers. Seems stupid to wait for shots. Real guy would have shot him when he showed up with a gun.
Seems to defeat the purpose of being a sniper.
.
Hubby thinks the SS snipers in the video clip were assigned to be looking for distant threats and a second set of counter snipers took the shooter out.
Re: #23 3 freaking minutes? F that.
It’s that PA humidity that makes it possible to see that supersonic bullet path. Any Kodak SLR that can shoot 1/500th could probly stop it. No need to get all digital and fancysmanchy about it.

I never saw Braveheart, but some of the Trump pics remind me of ads I’ve seen of Gibson in Braveheart.
Isn’t Braveheart about Scots? Isn’t Trump part Scot?
“
Yes to both your questions.
Braveheart was about William Wallace, who, with Robert the Bruce, fought to win Scotland’s independence from England.
President Trump’s mom was from Scotland, from the Western Isles.
#23 discussed above. 3 minutes with target in crosshairs. Distant threats have to have an angle. 150 yds should have been a can of corn. Of course he should have been blasted 3 minutes earlier, must not be the Pepsi way.
America First Legal Investigates the Preparation the U.S. Secret Service and DHS Took Ahead of President Trump’s Butler, PA Rally
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, following the assassination attempt on President Trump and the death of an innocent American, America First Legal (AFL) launched a new investigation into the calendar entries for the days leading up to July 13, 2024, of the Director and Deputy Director of the U.S. Secret Service and the Secretary, Deputy Secretary, General Counsel, Chief of Staff, and any Front Office advisor at U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
It is critical that the Biden Administration be fully transparent about the preparations the U.S. Secret Service and DHS made in advance of this tragic day in American history.
AFL also just launched an investigation into the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to determine if President Trump was denied additional U.S. Secret Service protection by the Biden administration, as reporting has suggested. Link:

BREAKING: A source familiar with Trump’s security detail tells
@FDRLST
that the former and future president’s detail has been asking for beefed up protection and resources for weeks, but has been rebuffed time and again by Biden’s DHS.
DHS, which oversees Secret Service protective detail “wasn’t responsive to those requests” for more resources, the source said.
Was Biden’s regime behind the attack, or did it deliberately do everything it could to allow it to happen?

ERIK PRINCE: Only “Malice or Massive Incompetence” Behind U.S. Secret Service Allowing a Near Assassination
****************
Hopefully after the tragedy yesterday in Butler PA we can all recognize that unaccountable bloated bureaucracies continue to fail us as Americans.
Donald J Trump is alive today solely due to a bad wind estimate by an evil would be assasin.
As the graphics show the full value wind of just 5mph was enough to displace the unconfirmed but likely light 55 grain bullet two inches from DJT’s intended forehead to his ear.
DJT was not saved by USSS brilliance. The fact that USSS allowed a rifle armed shooter within 150yds to a preplanned event is either malice or massive incompetence. Clearly there was adequate uncontrolled dead space for a shooter to move into position and take multiple aimed shots. Watching the newsreel one can hear how proximate the shooter is by the very short time lapse between the crack of arriving bullet (supersonic) to the boom of muzzle blast (sonic).
The law enforcement sniper (unclear if USSS) in newsreels was clearly overwhelmed as his face came off his rifle instead of doing his job to kill the shooter. Clearly they were watching the shooter but apparently have a no “first shot” policy. The only positive action was an apparent 488yd shot by one USSS sniper which despatched the assasin but after the assassin launched at least 5 rounds, wounding DJT and killing and severely others in the crowd.
In my old business of providing Diplomatic Security in two active war zones we were expected to execute the basics or we would be fired. Clearly USSS failed at the basics of a secure perimeter and once shots were fired their extraction was clumsy and left DJT highly exposed to follow on attacks. It looked like they had never drilled together because those responses should be effectively autonomic. Will there be accountability? That’s not the Washington way.
Unserious and unworthy people in positions of authority got us to this near disaster. Merit and execution must be the only deciding factors in hiring and leadership, not the social engineering priority of the day. Sadly nothing in Washington reflects that any longer. DJT is right to question the competence of those protecting him because yesterday they failed in almost every way. Nature abhors a vacuum and there are always other options. Most importantly, as Americans let’s come together and run a proper valid election so we can get back to what matters a merit based society that judges on character and skill. Nothing else.

In the original video, I think that you can hear the “Snap-boom” of rounds whizzing by. The “Snap” is from a supersonic round going by, the “Boom” is the weapon sound.
Compare sounds - 125 yards downrange, 5.56 mm, unsuppressed and suppressed.

Warning signs about Secret Service emerged months before Trump assassination attempt
Congress launches instant probe as lawmakers fear Trump security detail had inadequate resources.
Trump’s mother was from an island in the Outer Hebrides.
No, it was clearly a round hole in the fabric. Since I’m sure he wears body armor, there wouldn’t be blood, but maybe he got a bruise. Blood drops would have looked different.
Yes to both your comments.
Would this be the one?
