If the Secret Service did not have the manpower to secure that roof, it would have been very simple to ask local law enforcement to provide additional manpower to secure those buildings. At the very least the Agent in Charge must be held accountable. It will be interesting if he is called before Congress and is questioned under oath.
When I was in college President Bush (maybe then VP) came to campus.
My bike was in the bike rack, locked.
They came along and cut everyone’s bike in half. Mind you, not just cut the chain and moved it. Or better yet, put up a sign the day before saying “move your bike”.
They’ve always stuck me since as somewhat halfwits and heavy handed.
And, no, I got nowhere on getting my bike replaced.
