This was an appalling security breach that could have resulted in dozens killed and woundedincluding President Trump.
Friday night soon after Trump arrived at his Trump Turnberry golf club in Scotland, a Greenpeace protester flying a motored paraglider with a large anti-Trump banner hanging below flew within yards overhead of Trump who was outside receiving guests, forcing him to race inside with his Secret Service detail.
Inexplicably, first U.K. security on the perimeter and then U.S. security on top and around the building allowed the paraglider to fly unmolested over Trump, members of his national security team, senior administration officials and dozens of guests assembled outside, and the buildingand then allowed the flyer to escape!

He should have been shot out of the sky the moment he turned towards the building. The SOB snipers on the rooftop either had “pussy orders”, or hesitated (in which case they should be fired).
Dry run?
Safe house on the way to another country with help from the British government.
When half the Scottish governing body supports and leads these anti-Trump protests and allows Green Peace to orchestrate their activists and plan the protests with other activists like themselves....you cannot expect anything other than this.
BTW my good friend from Scotland said the face of her nation is gone and not even close to the Scotland she once loved because so many foreigners have entered the country.
SS should have fired LAW dead center to the chest of that guy.
A new batch of loyal Secret Service is needed.
Toss the current no-loads to the curb.
Not really - Khan is the mayor of London. This happened in Scotland.
Arm them with 2016/Browning-BPS-10-Gauge-Stalkers- using 3.5 inch shells.
It’s one thing to protest; quite another to violate air space and approach so dangerously close with unsearchable equipment. It may have caused an international incident, but I would rather have had this man shot down at a distance than to have our president endangered. Next time, an actual weapon could be deployed since they know we won’t shoot if they are “protesting”.
I am thoroughly disgusted with the level and amount of acerbic and RUDE behavior leveled at Trump at all levels on his visit to UK. President Trump, do not go back! They are not worthy of our money nor help.
I disagree, I think Trump has more supporters in Britain than people think, but they’ve been intimated into silence. Hopefully by Trump visiting, they will feel more empowered to speak up.
Hey Secret Service: why the F##% didnt you blow this clear and present danger to President Trump out of the air?! You were one of the last FedGov law enforcement organizations many of us still respected. EPIC FAIL!
That was a big point of the sequel to Trainspotting. I dont even know if it was the point, but it was shocking to see how the country had changed in the twenty years between films. The first was kind of an indictment of the Scottish welfare system, and everyone was Scottish. In the second one, it seemed like almost everyone he encountered was Indian, Eastern European, anything but Scottish.
The guy flew within a few yards of heavily armed British and American police / security services - and they ask for the help of the public to catch him! You couldn’t make it up!
I really pray that Trump gets home safely because I think the local security especially are just a bunch of clowns.
The only thing they did....told the president to run for his life. Its utter madness that this happened.

Every agent should be fired immediately, no excuses!
“That action should be preapproved SHOOT TO KILL ORDERS.”
it’s the only safe course to take, because they can’t tell if these drones or manned flights are armed ...
I would fire a missle into a Scotish field in response to this. Bastards!
In this case, a shotgun or a Mac-10 either one would have done the job. No fleet of aircraft needed.
I agree that Trump needs to get new SS protection. There’s no excuse to just stand there!
Get the damn Texas Rangers up to D.C. to protect him if this beltway scum can’t do the job. I’m steamed at this nonsense!
Have you forgotten the SS supervisor who publicly said that she wouldn’t take a bullet for Trump?
