Just a note. The first name of the guy killed at the rally was a guy named Corey Comperatore, 50, has a wife and two daughters who he shielded from the assassin. He attended church every Sunday. He was a fire fightet.

FBI agent Frank Figliuzzi said.....

....."During 25 years with the FBI, I have seen how countless similar rallies were organised and I consider it highly likely that the Secret Service was responsible for security within an 'enclosed perimeter', while the 'local police' took charge of the wider zone outside.".......What we don't yet know is 'whose job' it was to ensure this roof, only 150 yards from the stage, was secure."

Responsibility for every post, every zone, every rooftop needs to be clearly assigned and this division of roles should have been clear to everyone.....This is standard practice for the Secret Service but it's also potentially new territory for each local police department.

Well... those are good points.

Interesting times, no doubt.

One X post claimed 3 sources were saying the snipers were told they couldn’t fire on the shooter.

Were told by whom? We need names, we need specifics. (I don't mean from you, of course.) Now.

Reid Hoffman flew with Jeffrey Epstein on his jet o his palace in the Virgin Islands in 2014, or five years after the RSO felon had been released from federal prison for raping young girls. I don’t need to know anything more about Reid Hoffman.

The guy died protecting his family. I believe the scream you heard was his wife realizing he was dead.

Isn’t that when real LE would take out the shooter rather than retreat? Are these people all idiots, or what?

Here is a link to the AP article in which it states a local officer climbed the ladder and encountered the shooter before retreating just before the shooter fired on Trump.

Wouldn’t there be a Special Agent in Charge (SAC) which would coordinate the security zones?

Surely everyone’s not just doing their own thing.

I would think the SS would bring that guy, as he would be the requirement holder.

I’m a woman and I agree. But she may have been politically savvy enough to know that pretending to like it could be advantageous to her future career prospects...

Ben Shapiro claims it is operating procedures. Ill have to go back to the YouTube but he also said, that is the first thing that has to change. I believe he said sniper protocol specifically.

Sounds like a great guy. Prayers for his family.

I hope they get justice, and I mean the people who REALLY arranged this hit ending up in Gitmo.

Did you see this BS ?

Local officer encountered gunman just before he shot toward Trump at rally, sources tell AP

I’ll excerpt this.

Not long before shots rang out, rallygoers noticed a man climbing to the roof of a nearby building and warned local police, according to two law enforcement officials.

One local police officer climbed to the roof and encountered Crooks, who pointed his rifle at the officer. The officer retreated down the ladder, and Crooks quickly took a shot toward Trump, and that’s when Secret Service snipers shot him, said the officials…

Pretty sure there was a diversion of SS assets away from this event

And where could they be?

Maybe in Minneapolis setting up for the Republican National Convention perhaps?

The Trump SS security detail is being starved for resources by the Biden Secret Service head in hopes an assassin gets lucky.

They can only be in one place at a time .

Trump took a big risk to try to slip one more campaign stop into a critical swing state with a skeleton crew for a security detail.

In a way, he lost the bet, almost fatally, but his gamble may just pay off in the end

I believe most cops take the job for the donuts, pension, and get-out-of-jail-free cards. The don’t really want to protect anyone or encounter any danger. Just look at that video of the female SS agents for another example.

I agree, and I don’t want to wait until Congress possibly hears from the SS head on July 22.
