Seems to show my point.

That was the closest.

The paraglider is closer to the photographer than to the people taking pictures, and is about 40 yards in the air.

At this point President Trump is no longer outside, but is inside, protected by multiple walls.

So, it might be about 100 yards from President trump, with multiple walls, roofs, and ceilings in between.

Nasty stunt.

Hard to believe they could not catch the culprit.

They were lucky, reminds me of when a reporter was throwing shoes at GWB, he should have been taken out at once, it was so crazy watching him stand there and dodge shoes. Even though PDJT was inside who the hell knows what this ass hat could have been carrying. Very bad security breach. Should have been blown out of the sky. A Vulcan mini gun would have done a great job. AND THEY LET HIM GET AWAY!

Not really: this time you said 100 yards. Last time you said 200 yards. To me it looked like around 25 to 30 yards, max, from where he was at his low point to the tops of the heads of the people standing around uselessly gawking.

If he had been armed, he'd have had a good chance of hitting key persons, if not Trump, then John Kelly or others.

I was astounded at the inaction, including by the snipers on the roof visible in one of the videos at the link. They should have had weapons with telescopic sites aimed at him and tracking him.
