The Secret Service blamed local police for failing to secure the rooftop from which gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump, insisting it was outside of the perimeter the federal agency was tasked with protecting.
Instead, securing and patrolling the factory grounds of AGR International Inc. — located about 130 yards from the stage where Trump was speaking Saturday — was the responsibility of local Pennsylvania police, Secret Service representative Anthony Gugliemi said, according the New York Times.
The Secret Service was only tasked with covering the grounds where Trump’s rally took place, with local police being recruited to assist with those efforts and secure the area outside of the rally.

I’ve seen a statement from the sniper that wasted the perp. Said he had him in the scope for three minutes, waiting fir permission to fire. I’ve also heard that local LE had ROEs that forbade firing until shots were fired.
________________
Were the local LE allowed to alert the SS to what was going on?
TRUMP WAS ALLOWED TO BE A TARGET FOR 3 MINUTES! And the dude was allowed time to set up? Just unreal!
Never in my life have I seen anything this perplexing. It just cries out for an answer!
The job of the Secret Service is to protect the President. If someone 2000 miles makes a threat, they come knocking on their door. Someone that is a threat 200 yards away is their problem.
Correction...government “employees “. Few of do any difficult work. Most are essentially on welfare
“Still diontbknow if anyone gave the counter snipers a don’t shoot first order.
“
Those guys had to have had the Trump shooter dialed in before he fired.
If you wanna play this game…well, ya still fudged up….
The bullet hit Trump’s ear, and that ear was on the ground where the rally took place.
I give this excuse just a 3 out of 10. Really, the government needs to work on their buck-passing.
The head of the secret service is used to guarding crackers. DEI..LOL!
The FUBI will investigate this thing for decades as they give America the double salute.
One or more people were not “with the program,” meaning one person should have been giving orders. Maybe that person was seconded at the last moment to cover Jill Biden’s jaunt?
Because he was told so.
🤣🤣🤣

Had expected better.
Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger said his office maintains an Emergency Services Unit team, which deployed four sniper teams and four “quick response teams” at the rally. But he said the Secret Service agents were in charge of security outside the venue.
“They had meetings in the week prior. The Secret Service ran the show. They were the ones who designated who did what,” Goldinger said. “In the command hierarchy, they were top, they were No. 1.”
Goldinger said the commander of the Emergency Services Unit told him it was not responsible for securing areas outside the venue. “To me, the whole thing is under the jurisdiction of the Secret Service. And they will delineate from there,” he said.
The former senior Secret Service agent also said that even if local law enforcement “did drop the ball,” it’s still the agency’s responsibility “to ensure that they are following through either beforehand or in the moment.”
“How did the shooter know the roof was not secured?“
BRAVO!!! - THERE it is…
Just SUPPOSE that one was thinking of doing what this guy wanted to do..
- Presidential rally… Thousands of people; SS, supposedly top security everywhere..
Does one REALLY pack up a rifle, drive down there and expect to carry that thing anywhere NEAR the event?? Seriously??
And, what are the odds of that building being un-secured?
Even more so - as BEJ said - what are the odds that he knew that the building was un-secured??? These are astronomical odds.
There is NO way this kid slipped in there with a gun unnoticed by security. No freaking way.
You can’t even get into a sporting event with a bag of peanuts nowadays.. it’s true - I got mine confiscated just this past Tuesday at one..
“I’ve also heard that local LE had ROEs that forbade firing until shots were fired.“
Think about this radio conversation…
“Have suspect with a rifle in my sights..”
“..hang on bro.. let him take his shot first.. he maybe could miss…”
Nahh.. they SAW him with the rifle aimed at President Trump. You don’t give someone the first shot - unless you want the target eliminated.
So they just threw their hands up, and let the shit-show proceed, huh? Sorry, you don’t get off that easy.
Yup. Way too many ponytails.
