Preliminarily, let me say what I wrote yesterday: Trump’s near miss seems to have an element of Divine Providence to it, reminiscent of how George Washington invariably emerged from the heat of battle unscathed. Just sayin’. Now, to the topic at hand, which is the Secret Service’s performance before, during, and after the assassination attempt. It wasn’t good.
Ironically, just yesterday, I finished reading Lee Child’s Without Fail, which was published in 2008. In it, Jack Reacher works with the female head of the Vice President’s Secret Service detail to help foil an assassination attempt. Unlike most Reacher novels, this one had no fistfights. Instead, it focuses tightly on what the Secret Service does to protect politicians.
I don’t know what kind of research Child did, but the point he makes repeatedly—and it’s an obvious and intuitive one—is that the Secret Service must control the high ground. Every rooftop or high floor within range of a politician is a potential platform for an assassin.
In Butler, Pennsylvania, however, not only did the Secret Service seemingly make no effort to control a rooftop within relatively easy shooting distance of a former president and current presidential candidate, but Secret Service agents also seemed disinterested in repeated warnings that a man with a gun had crawled on top of a building that gave him a clear shot at President Trump. This video shows the first eyewitness we heard from, but reports are that several other people saw the same thing and had the same response from Trump’s security detail—that is, no response:

It is almost like it was supposed to happen.
The media will forget this quicker than Joe forgets what he’s going to say next.
The public will remain stupid and distracted.

Yup.
What will it take to open American’s eyes to the fact that the Democrat party is an organized crime syndicate?
An attempted assassination of a Republican presidential candidate?
It’s almost as if they purposely let it happen.
I.E. failed to do the basics on purpose with the goal of ending Trump.
A white man with an “assault” rifle getting uppity on a roof: you’d think the fully CRT and DEI trained SS would have taken him down immediately.
This will not be their last attempt.
Donald Trump needs to learn skydiving what with his plane being used to ferry him around. He needs to be wary of explosives (and run people through a TSA-like screening from now on). He needs to have a bullet-resistant barrier erected at his rallies. He needs to have a food taster and a person with a Geiger counter checking for radiologicals. He needs to get a professional team that is skilled in downing drones.
He needs to do these things TODAY.
What talk? Motive, means, opportunity. The demonrats.
An assassin got into the perfect position. He got off a kill shot but the target moved. Then the assassin was instantaneously dead.
Agree.
This was obviously an orchestrated assassination attempt by white hats. A FF.
The Iranians were watching with glee and amazement that some 20 year old, pimply faced boy could come so close to getting “their man”, and how lax the security was. You beyond they are planning their own attempt now.
That’s a lie.
The counter snipers need to testify in front of Congress with the question being “was there any don’t shoot first order”?
Like the sniper who saw the bomber approaching US troops and command wouldn’t let him fire. From what I’ve heard so far is our snipers saw him but couldn’t get permission to fire at him. DEI aka Dumb Equity Idiots running the show?
The only thing the FBI will be investigating is just how the shooter missed?
Haven’t most assassination attempts been against Republicans?
This is from memory, but in Serpico, he was told his fellow police officers would not target him. The officers would not provide assistance when needed.
Seems like a similar scenario.
