Why were there 3 secret service men in the building at the time Thomas Crooks was shooting?

Secret Service agents are trained, I believe, to be expert marksman and this kid was 20 years old.

Could it have been the FBI that was trying to shoot Trump? Would that be why orders were not given to return fire?

It just occurred to me, so I'm asking the question. While the kid was involved, could he have been more of a patsy?

“coffee and donuts located there.”

They were observing through the windows. They observed him scope out the area three times, sent in a photo and called for backup.

Why did no one providing security know they were in there?

Why didn't every one of them have a radio or earpiece on the same frequency so they could be notified a shooter is crawling around above you?

Did they have intel that warranted 3 men in there?

You don’t think a 20 year old can be a good shot? And 130 yards hardly requires elevated skills of marksmanship.

One to hold the ladder
Another to act as lookout
The third to jam the radios

“Why were there 3 secret service men . . .”

It’s a secret.

Wouldn’t the FBI be much better shots?
If you want to understand, you have to let go of the idea that you are being told the truth by the authorities.

Now SS people are saying those snipers were not in the building the shooter was on roof of
Apparently the SS snipers were in another building

this moment was when I knew the regime was pulling the strings on biden...in iraq we could NOT shoot back unless fired upon first.

basically you had to be in a level 3 comma before you could return fire

The moment they saw him looking at the roof, and knowing he had been caught at the Metal Detectors with a Range Finder - they crossed over.

At some point, they wished him well.

How’d they get a picture of Crooks just outside the window if they were in a different building?

It sounds like behind covering to me, as people figure out the holes in the story.

This was one of the largest law enforcement failures in the history of our country. Cops get complacent, especially local cops who are assigned to assist the feds during events like these. I’ve worked with the USSS many times. When they are the lead agency, they rule with an iron fist. They won’t let armed on-duty cops get close to their protectee unless they are vetted and approved. So local cops roll their eyes and let the USSS run the show. Every single level of law enforcement failed last weekend. Top to bottom.

And nobody can figure out where the ladder came from. Isn’t it obvious?

I knew a lib that worked at a summer camp in his twenties. Taught shooting and marksmanship. Had a lot of the FBI’s kids come through, and their parents would visit. He said he always outshot the parents. And he gave up shooting, because he didn’t see why he should be a better shot than the FBI agents. Granted, dedicated marksmen are a different breed.

I wonder if this kid was a deer hunter. You can learn a lot about shooting discipline when you have a live target. Give him credit for controlling adrenaline, and getting off a near kill shot while laying on the hot roof. Apparently the heat was too much for the pros.
