Oh what a relief! The FBI and the SS are investigating why Crooks was allowed to climb on the the unprotected roof unhindered and shoot at Trump and other people. I can hardly wait to learn what they discover. I’m sure they’ll come up with something reassuring.

There is a video showing them sighting him in before proving they did know he was there but failed to do their job.

Generally speaking, I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but I think it's worse than just "failed to do their job". I think they deliberately waited until Crooks shot first. I'm open to correction, but I think the gunshots went: pow-pow-pow,,, pow-pow-pow-pow. They MUST have had Crooks in their sites BEFORE he shot because there simply wasn't time between the two volleys for them to move into position from somewhere else, aim, and shoot.

For what it’s worth, the ladder that I saw on the Daily Mail website is way more than 5’ tall, more like 15’ tall.

It’s possible Crooks put it there, but it’s also possible the building’s maintenance people put it there to gain access to the roof but then forgot about it. We should learn about that in the weeks to come.

My Dad was a Sergeant in The Korean War.

It took a lot of good Sergeants to get me to retirement and I miss some of them every day.

There were two snipers on the red barn building who already zeroed in on the shooter but failed to do anything about him until too late.


I saw a claim that the sniper requested authorization but was denied. Normally I would dismiss such claims, but all things considered...

Stroll into a bank with a rifle, in open carry Pennsylvania, and see what happens. Wait, what’s that? Oh! There are exclusion zones, such as a perimeter that is THEORETICALLY CONTROLLED by a Federal Agency charged with protecting certain human assets!

? Is it true that Trump’s security was recently changed ?

And it became totally Secret Service (now that he is ‘officially’ the nominee?- or something like that)
