It was a grey, drizzly Monday on March 30, 1981, when President Reagan emerged from the Washington Hilton hotel, heading back to his presidential limousine parked a few yards away.
His inauguration had been only a few weeks before and he'd just finished speaking at a lunch of US labor union leaders.
Along with the rest of the White House press corps I was about 20 feet away, roped off from the President. Suddenly, just as one of our number shouted a question for him, shots rang out.
In a split second, a burly Secret Service agent brusquely bundled Reagan into the limo, another pushed his colleague hard to ensure both he and the President were flat on the back seat.
The limo was surrounded by agents, guns drawn, the would-be assassin wrestled to the ground by the public as well as law enforcement. Reagan's vehicle sped off.
Within four minutes it was at George Washington Hospital, even though, not initially realizing the President had been hit (a bullet had entered his rib cage), the Secret Service had at first started out for the White House.
Reagan was close to death on arrival. But he survived, thanks in no small part to the speedy response of the Secret Service, which thwarted the shooter.
Now consider what happened when Donald Trump was shot on Saturday night.
The initial response was by the book. Brave agents piled on him to protect him from further bullets. They kept him down until they were told the shooter had been killed.

Clown ops. Connect the dots.
Not just female agents. The whole shebang. Starting in 2009, the civil service has binged on incompetent hires. This disaster was over a decade im coming. Bill Shipley, former DOJ prosecutor and current J6 defense lawyer, on what has wrecked the FBI since Obama’s tenure:
Many of the Agents that have advanced into upper levels of management now were hired during the first Obama Administration.
The Bureau made a very obvious and impactful decision in its recruiting priorities. No longer were former military or state/local law enforcement agents the “preferred” candidates. The priority became reshaping the workforce to “look like society as a whole.”
College campuses were the recruiting grounds. Professional degrees in accounting, law, engineering were no longer valued above soft social science degrees.
Prior law enforcement or military experience in leadership was now an hindrance to FBI training for a new century.
What the whistleblower is reporting is the natural evolution of that. Those moving into upper management learned in college that conservatism is not a legitimate political viewpoint. It cannot be given equal space in society to liberal/progressive outlooks on societal problems.
So conservatives in the ranks of the FBI must be made to leave.]

They assigned the biggest libtard losers to Trump so he would be hit
in addition to the useless female agents I saw at least one obese man agent
What we see in the video is that even for this civilian job narrow margins count, every man that is replaced with a women reduces the overall height, speed, and muscle of the team.
There are also mental and emotional differences of a male protection force versus a heavily female and female led organization and the long term effect on the organization as it becomes more feminized and slowly morphs over years and decades not just in the sex of the people but in the hormones and characteristics of their sex that they bring to the institution and culture and focus of it, we have just seen that the small differences show up even in this few minutes of intense activity, and they could have made the difference in life and death.
I’d also suggest the agents be armed with the newest “smart” weaponry that won’t fire unless it is held just properly by the person coded to operate it.
That tells me all I need to know about the left.
Trump needs to terminate ALL federal employees and start over.
Rebuild it from the ground up.
Ax Dept of Education forever. Not needed and has harmed education in this country.
FIRE THEM ALL.
DRAIN THE SWAMP.
Move the various agencies out of D.C. to hardcore conservative states.
i remember Tim Carver diving in front of Reagan to take a bullet
Sean Parnell was there Saturday sitting not far behind Trump. He spoke to the crowd earlier.
In this video with Megyn Kelly, he describes something he saw above the podium that day that had a profound affect on him.
Wow

I understand being in the heat of the moment, but the cop should have told Crooks that if he shot at him, the sound of the shot would have ruined his chances of shooting at the President, so he might as well just give up now and come down with him.

The author deviates from his Reagan comment "split second" to "by the book" for DJT.
Curious. IMHO the response was 'slow', and I still have questions about that woman behind him holding the sign...
The swamp needs drained and filled in with concrete!
Re: the sloped roof
Are all leftists bold faced lying f-ups????
She is the same one who said on Sunday that it was very fast between when crooks was spotted and the shooting started!
Videos are out now showing it was over 2 minutes.
These people are like little children who will say anything, absolutely anything that comes into their head, so long as they can deflect responsibility.
The DEI issue is valid but also a red herring right now.
Three SS snipers had the shooter in their sights for at least a minute before he shot at Trump. They were reportedly denied permission to take out that known, direct and imminent threat to Trump.
Whoever denied permission should be arrested for attempted murder and manslaughter.
This was an inside job. No two ways about it.
Planned /Intentional. Flubbed. SS = Lib losers.
Repubs want Cheatle out for this? Start digging up dirt on her. She’s an idiot and they just need to prove it more.
