Police searching for paraglider who flew over Trump's Scotland golf resort and breached no-fly zone

Scottish police are searching for a paraglider who flew over President Trump’s golf resort while the commander in chief was reportedly forced to take cover when it appeared overhead.

Detective Inspector Stephen McCulloch said the Greenpeace protester breached a no-fly zone over Trump Turnberry golf resort and committed a criminal offense. Trump is staying at the resort during his visit to Scotland. reenpeace said the protester carried a banner reading: “Trump: Well Below Par” on Friday night to protest his environmental and immigration policies. The group claimed in a tweet that the protest forced Trump to take cover: “Watch as Donald Trump tries to hide from our message flying over his head.” The tweet contained a video of the glider flying past the resort.

What’s the point of a “no-fly” zone if they don’t have the resources ready to quickly intercept a hang glider?

A .22 could have taken out that threat. Seems like pretty weak security.

Security, what security? He could have been carrying a bomb and should have been shot down before he got above the lodge.

Then why wasn't he "eliminated" at once?

They should have shot his parachute full of holes and made him crash. He would have deserved anything that happened to him.

Some Secret Service folks apparently still aren’t willing to take a bullet (or even send one) to protect the president.

No, the shots should have been into the man.

Shots into the paraglider would have done nothing.

And they are still searching for him. So this little parachute toy can out run helicopters and jets?

Should have been turned into fragments immediately.

Searching for him HUH.!!!!!!!!He flew right over them.
This is the same as today where the police in London have told the pro Trump rally crowd that if they go in more than groups of 3 they will be arrested.
I guarantee they never stopped the left or muslims yesterday like that.
is it any wonder why the British are rising up over there when they see their freedoms being taken away by the left, and muslims.

the Greenpeace protester breached a no-fly zone

If he did this in concert with others of Green Peace
wouldn’t that be a conspiracy to commit a felony?

It’s time to take the greenies down!

There are dudes on the roof, right under the flags, that spear to have weapons trained on the glider. Why didn’t they open fire? A little burp from a mini gun would have been a nice
