Secret Service had removed alarm sensors from fence intruder scaled
The Washington Examiner ^ | March 20, 2017 | SUSAN CRABTREE

The fence-jumper who wandered around the White House complex for 17 minutes was able to elude the Secret Service in part because the agency has taken down alarm sensors along an area of one fence that he scaled, according to two sources familiar with details of the incident.

The intruder, identified as Jonathan Tran, was able to jump over three different fences, including at least one between the Treasury Department and the east area of the White House complex shortly before midnight March 10.

So a country that can listen to you fart in your sleep, can’t come up with foolproof (need an acronym for affirmative action proof) sensor system to protect its chief executive? This is the globalist gangs wanting to remind him of the limits of his power.

The average sheriff’s office across the country can do better without any specialized training.

They're probably being trained by a certain division of Cerberus to seize all of your assets if a property fence is installed 3 inches off.

This seems too coincidental. Alas, I am afraid the Secret Service has been corrupted. We another organization to protect the President.

Why and when were the sensors removed and at whose authority?


That, and why weren’t or when (and by who) were post-inaugural sweeps/checks on ALL perimeter fences done?

New job opening for Sheriff Clark ...... clean up the SS & make sure Trump is protected.

It seems to me that an effort is being made to establish in the public’s mind that trespassing into the White House is inevitable, an act of nature.

New sign on the fence every so many feet - "anyone jumping this fence will be shot on sight". Then follow through and do it the next time someone comes over the fence. The same policy would stop illegal border crossings dramatically.

Hey, back off! They are government “workers”. That should explain it.

These government boobs need to be fired right now, and competent, non AA employees hired to do this very important work.

If I was the person in charge of Trump’s safety, I would have the Secretary of Defense order a monthly rotation of combat-ready Seals, Marines, and Army Special Forces to provide security for him 24/7.

Trump is not safe with these clowns. If I were him I’d foot the bill to hire Gavin de Becker and his group.

Yet, the "resistance" doesn't seem to get it. They must think there will be no repercussions. Some one buy them a clue before they do something very stupid.

Their pink hats are ugly, and they think the worst we might do is prance around wearing comparably silly hats. They know no one on our side is like the fascist "Antifa" vandals, but spoiled liberals don't understand what real Americans are like or how much we value freedom.

I want peace, and I pray that we will be able to avoid the alternative ethically, but I expect the repercussions from any successful Ctrl-Left attempt to maintain their power through illegitimate means to be worse than the first Civil War. Democrats freak out every time conservatives free the slaves that democrats think they have the right to control.

“Hey, back off! They are government “workers”. That should explain it”.

Along with hiring based on affirmative action, diversity, and without regard to such microaggressions as “qualifications”.

affirmative action hires.

Using affirmative-action employees for security purposes is like having the chicken coop guarded by the foxes.

"Once a happenstance, twice a coincidence, thrice a recurrence."

Once is happenstance,
Twice is coincidence;
Three times is enemy action.

Thanks but I wasn’t going to respond

Anyone who wants to see any country’s border wall just has to search up images

Too much work to do for a lame comment
