This is on the SS and they failed.

Oh bullshit! You're just another keyboard warrior who knows absolutely nothing about the circumstances.

You're just as stupid as that other stupid freeper saying the shooter was an Antifa dude named Mark Violets........Sheesh!

No, he said they told the cops. Local yokels, not SS.

Failed or deliberately failed. Even Joe Q. Citizen was wondering why the roofs weren’t covered. This is REALLY horrifying because it could mean our own government intends to take Trump out.

Look at the timing: It happens just when Biden is exposed with dementia, Trumps court date sentencing from 2 days ago was postponed, Biden screws up the NATO speech.

If they kill this man, Jan.6th is going to look like a class on meditation by comparison.

He is correct, having dealt with the SS for many years this was clearly a failure in the complete sense.

So a presidential candidate is almost killed and the SS didn’t drop the ball? And bear no accountability?

Are you purposely stupid?

As the guy said in that video (which was great BTW), there are only a few buildings around here. You’d think the Secret Service would have men in and on every building rooftop.

What are you talking about? He’s 100% right. We have a sniper 200 yards away from a Presidential candidate, that opportunity should NOT exist.

If he was hundreds of yards away this was almost certainly a professional hit attempt.

Any decent hunter with a scoped rifle could make a shot like that.

Misinformation, Mark Violets looks white and has an American Name. He is antifa.

What if the SS was part of it.

Let the guy get off 5 good shots, then blow his head off.

Two birds with one stone, so to speak...

I don’t care, I can never prove anything to you, but this week multiple people have threatened President Trump in myriads of ways. They can hunt down pictures of people from J-6 years afterward, but weren’t watching the roofs in gunshot distance as the main candidate was speaking.

You are a moron. The guy got close enough on an OPEN roof, easily visible if there had been ONE helicopter being used. And he got close enough to hit him with a long .22.

Not “almost certainly.” Many people could shoot that well, even with conventional weapons. But. In fact, many, many rifles are now made and sold that are capable of killing at 1,000 yards. The real question is: “Why was a rooftop within (450 to 200 yards, depending on the reports) such close range left unoccupied by cops?

“All I saw was chicks with pony tails...SS is a joke.”

Agreed. Females are useless in this type of situation. Wokeness, political correctness, diversity, whatever you want to call it, gets people killed.
