Okay, so don’t open fire. Can you at least warn the potential victim so he can get out of the way?
Horrifying if true.
So the SS gives the Prez LESS protection, than the average person defending themselves or somebody else?
The standard of “immanent threat to life” replaced by “they get ONE free shot”?
If you are in that job, you presumably qualify as a good shot. The shooter can be disabled
They should have had President Trump on the ground before the jerk raised his weapon. The Secret Service is incompetent. Bigly.
“Okay, so don’t open fire. Can you at least warn the potential victim so he can get out of the way?”
Exactly. They had plenty of time to do that.
The communications were intentionally sabotaged to prevent that from happening.
“Okay, so don’t open fire. Can you at least warn the potential victim so he can get out of the way?”
Makes sense. Get Trump out of the way - take a break - and check it out. That is if this report is even true.
The Secret Service knew that an assassin was lining up his rifle to shoot Trump and they let him keep speaking totally unaware that his life was in danger.
People need to go to prison for this.
Careful, your critical thinking skills are showing.
Don’cha know? You leave him up there as bait for and entire minute. Protocol ya know.
That's exactly right. The last thing this country needs is a bunch of government employees of marginal intelligence with guns and "shoot-to-kill" orders against American citizens.
What could possibly go wrong? I'd ask Ashli Babbitt, but she's not around to give her take on this.
“Okay, so don’t open fire. Can you at least warn the potential victim so he can get out of the way?”

That’s bad enough but also consider that it took the SS nearly 2 minutes to remove him to safety in the awaiting vehicle. That’s a long time to leave someone out there. It looked like a Chinese fire drill.
Yeah, get him down behind the safety panel and covered!
THIS!!!
LOCAL police could not fire on their own.
NEEDED “APPROVAL” from SS.
CRAZIEST THING I EVER HEARD.
You want to take a shot then find out the guy was holding a telescope?
As a long time long range shooter, this is bull. They have probably a 6x36 Night Force on the rifle from 140 yards and can’t tell a rifle from a telescope? You can see bulletholes in a target at 200 yards with a $3000 riflescope, that is a fact!
Apparently, the rules of engagement for the Capitol Police are considerably different, they weren’t worried about Ashley Babbit firing first!
They’re all on radios. Wouldn’t the SS guys on the stage know the potential danger? Shouldn’t they be standing in the way of potential shots, scanning the crowd, trees, roofs as a regular protocol? They did nothing until Trump crouched.
What an amateurish removal of Trump from the stage. Geez. Don’t they practice that?
“Okay, so don’t open fire. Can you at least warn the potential victim so he can get out of the way?”
That is my question that I have not seen publicly asked yet. According to movies there is a code word they use when the president is in danger and they tackle him. There was much, much time to do that before the first shots were fired. The cop that confronted the shooter, the counter snipers that saw him, the people yelling after seeing the shooter...yet nobody did anything. Curiouser and curiouser.
