This kid had no power to make sure that the snipers who had him in their sights didn’t shoot him before he could try to assassinate Trump, or to make sure that he had a clear shot, or any of the other blatantly glaring security failures.

“The kid was Jack Ruby’d. “ The kid was Lee Harvey Oswald’d.
The snipers played Jack Ruby’s part.
