In re no bs
I realize that the SS can’t prevent every attempt on a president’s life.
Say they had that roof and the nearby roofs secured. An agent on it AS IS USUAL. And that agent had quietly gone rogue and took a shot. I would not necessarily blame the SS.
That is not what happened here. They left an open roof unsecured 150 feet away from the President.
If people standing around noticed the armed man bear crawling up the roof, IT WAS NOTICEABLE. and the roof should not have been unsecured.
Look at it this way, there were cops down below to which the eyewitnesses reported the guy bear crawling on the roof with a rifle.
What exactly were the cops there on the ground, for? To prohibit breech of the perimeter? Event security could have done that.
Everyone knows rooftops are potential sniper spots. Didn’t the police know that? What was the function of the police on the ground? An iconic presence? Just totally useless. No communications with the SS, apparently. The police from the rooftop vantage point, could have prevented breech of the perimeter and backed up event security.
This is so amateurish, it is wanton negligence.
Are we going to get a coherent explanation? I would think there could never be one, the security was sooooo bad, so this will just disappear down the memory hole.
