Video Shows U.S Secret Service Spotting and Watching Shooter Prior to Shots – Doing Nothing, Then Flinching with Inbound Bullets
https://theconservativetreehouse.com ^ | 7/13/2024 | sundance

July 13, 2024 | Sundance | 688 Comments I’m not going to narrate what you can witness with your own eyes and ears. The camera lens is pointed toward two U.S Secret Service protective detail snipers on the roof behind President Trump. One is the spotter. Turn on sound. You can clearly see both USSS spot the shooter, do nothing, wait for the incoming fire, then respond.

Again, video might not last. WATCH:

“Looked like they had a bead exactly on the suspect before the suspect ever fired a round off.”

*************

And therefore why was Trump or his security team not immediately alerted to the imminent threat?

OK. You are entitled to your opinion as is every poster. If you had posted what you were thinking rather than trying to discredit others’ observations you would not have gotten so much flak. I think you are wrong. It is naive to think that the deep state doesn’t regularly run false flag operations. No one who followed recent events believes that.

When mistakes are made that stretch credulity it is wise to think outside the box and not just blame the Peter principle, DEI and stupidity.

Inconceivable that the closest roof positioned for a sniper’s purpose was not occupied & monitored. The sniper was in view of the agents who shot him. Their rifles were trained on him, did not need adjustment before firing & neutralizing him. He was not magically transported there. He had to crawl across the roof and get into position for his shot. There was a SS drone surveilling the area. Incompetence is a convenient excuse but the rational person analyses the situation so that they are ready to access whether the excuse sufficiently explains the events.

Think about it. A 20 year old kid without extensive training was able to get into a position that allowed him to get off a head shot from relatively close range at a former US President who is also the leading opposition candidate for the presidency. ??

That is the key point. But you can be sure that the government will go to great lengths to whitewash this whole debacle to protect itself.

Williams, I’ve liked your posts for decades now, so thank you.

Only one question is relevant in my mind: why didn’t the SS have a man posted on top of the structure which overlooked the podium? Is this a deliberate failure or one caused by lack of personnel, or reliance on drones which obviously weren’t monitored? So many failures that have NEVER occurred in the past.

Additionally, recall what Bob Creamer said in that James O’Keefe undercover video about tactics used to create scenarios such as this one.

“Unforgivable failure that should cause the removal of the entire chain of command at the SS immediately.”

************

Failure often results in promotions in the government. Trust me, it happens often.

Lol thank you for a rare compliment.

Definitely at least a huge mistake. I’m suspicious on this one, in terms of the shooter.

But there are highly unstable young people out there. And a young person can have the energy to do stuff like hop up on a roof.

The most incredible thing is Trump’s survival. I’ve seen an ex marine say this was an easy shot when he was in training. Then again he said the arc of that miss at that distance was a tiny tiny difference. A head shot at a shifting target from an unfamiliar perch is not a high percentage shot for the average nut.

“And it’s pretty obvious that his security team is being spread very thin for the type of political rallies they are working”

Trump’s team asked for additional security weeks ago. The SS dire tor denied it. And hired DEI agents too short and small to protect someone Trump’s size

Someone aiming a rifle at you at 100 (or even 500) yards has the ability and opportunity to put you in jeopardy.

Aim a rifle at someone - you’re a deadly threat.

A balanced perspective. Exactly what’s needed here.

It becomes clearer they will stop at nothing to prevent a Republican becoming President ever again. And I cannot think of another candidate who’d be able to withstand the torturous, unending attacks from all directions. So he is and continues to be their only threat to total control.

"It’s the same with military aircraft. They cannot shoot until they are locked on by the enemy."

Having a rule like that in WWI and WWII would have lost us those wars. Of course that technology wasn't available at the time, but I wonder if it had been, if it would have been a rule of engagement. Somehow I doubt it. During war, and in an air battle, where you know who the enemy is, that rule shouldn't be standard ops, but if it is, then this country is in a sad state.

It's no different than having lawyers on the ground in battlezones to tell our troops how they need to behave on operations so they don't offend our enemies. When the government put lawyers in war zones, they took away this country's ability to win a war by whatever means necessary. That's why this country hasn't had a full-on victory in any war they have been involved in since WWII ended.

"‘Shot at’ does not count - someone had to be hit first, lawyer called, given OK, then return fire."

Thanks for the correction. Below is part of a comment I made to another poster to replied to me:

"It's no different than having lawyers on the ground in battlezones to tell our troops how they need to behave on operations so they don't offend our enemies. When the government put lawyers in war zones, they took away this country's ability to win a war by whatever means necessary.

It's also noteworthy, that this country hasn't won a full-on victory since WWII ended, because that's when the CIA was organized.

I’m no expert, but from what I can tell they did what they could.

Obviously you're no expert, otherwise you'd know that rooftop should have been 100% secured and covered before Trump ever arrived at the venue and during the duration of the event.

It was the PERFECT location in that venue to put rounds on the podium.

At a minimum, as soon as they spotted *someone* on the roof, they should have radioed in to the podium to get Trump protected. They made no such attempt.

At this point I wonder how much pressure president Trump is getting from family and close associates to retire and let some other Republican run the risks?

Actually the same question goes for the Biden crew.

If the SS were such crack shots and they have the assassin in plain sight, they didn’t have to kill him but just fire a warning shot would have alerted the SS near President Trump to take action

I think the chances that Trump will quit are pretty much zero.

There is chatter suggesting ROE have been changed by DEI.
The shooter gets a free shot. The current SS head needs to resign.

Maybe not. Some stories today that SS RoE says not to shoot until assassin shoots.
