Whatever else he was he was a trained sniper able to climb the building and take his shots missing Trump’s temple by an inch and only because Trump turned his head that second.

He only did that to vote agaginst Trump. He donated to ACT-BLU, a looney left group.
Similar to John Hinckley. His apartment was littered with neo nazi and communist propaganda when it turned out he was motivated by having the hots for Jodie Foster who turned out gay. Goes to show what kind of losers these psychos are.

... Odds on he was just an unstable personality ...

Good odds. Just another David DePape. They're out there, and SS has ONE Job ...

    I've never seen this news source before, so take it with a grain of salt. It does have a lot of details though, including:

  1. his parents
  2. his arrest record

“Trained sniper” LOL! A trained sniper would take one shot and not miss. And as about 1000 other guys have said, 130 yards is a chip shot for anybody who’s ever hunted woodchuchs.

Who else knew about the shooters sharp shooting and ability to climb buildings? He seemed to have that under the radar antifa ish vibe to make a good patsy.

I was just looking at the google earth images of the building. I wonder how the heck he got up there. There did not seem to be roof access at all, nor fire escapes that went up that high.

Is this guy Spider-Man?

....and SS has ONE Job....

Which as 1000 others have already said that they utterly failed. Not having a warm body on that rooftop was idiotic. SS will probably be found to have assigned third stringers to Trump's detail, and not enough of those. That's as close to conspiracy theory as I'm gonna go. "Never attribute malice to what can adequately explained by incompetence". (Napoleon...or somebody like that)

I don’t think incompetence can explain the SS “forgetting” to check the most obvious and only good assassination location.

And the other question which somebody else brought up is even more sobering: How did the shooter know that the spot would be left open for him?

Somebody needs to access all the records in the NSA database in Utah and find all the communications with this guy in the last 3 months.

Whatever commander-in-chief Biden reports to needs to answer to why he/she.....

Because the enemy-plant Barry Soetoro is a communist, a muzzard and a faggot.

Mods: there are three duplicate threads on this topic. Can they be combined?

You'd have to ping the mods. I don't think they read every comment on every thread.

How is it not a total security failure?

They didn’t secure the rooftop.

They didn’t listen to the people who told them they saw someone climbing the building with a rifle in his possession.

They waited until he fired before they shot him.

It’s far beyond failure.

It screams *complicit*.

“It’s far beyond failure. It screams *complicit*.”


Agree. That was my point in saying it was “maybe not” a failure.
