There are a lot of assumptions being bandied about.

So consider this: If the guy was witnessed first on the building when Trump came out, start a watch.

It likely took a minute or so to get a cops attention. It likely took another minute for any cop to actually “look”. It likely took some time for them to radio into their “command”. Then it took time for command to sift through the information and determine where to direct that information.

Finally, some vague information gets sent out on the “net.”

By the time the snipers even started looking, it was likely seconds before the first shot.

Getting a drone over the guy would have nice, but it would not have sped the process much.

Emergency communication is often inaccurate, and confused. Even with professionals.

I think until the recordings of the radio communications are released, we won’t know. It would not “shock” me to find that the different agencies were not on the same frequencies, and that contributed to the delay in communications.

According to the expert, it seems that there was no proper communication between the groups, Filatov pointed out, adding that law enforcement and security personnel for some reason also failed to secure all nearby rooftops in the vicinity.

Why was a building from which a sniper could easily shoot NOT INSIDE THE SECURITY PERIMETER? Why were not drones in the air (they are cheap) that would provide surveillance of all buildings that were within sniper range of the president?

I myself think this is all due to massive incompetence of security. DEI almost got President Trump killed. Dan Bongino stated that extra security on the presidents detail was denied. RFK has been denied all security. His father RFK senior and uncle JFK were both assassinated.

I’m not a conservative. Never have been.
Seems you’re the touchy one. Something I said upset you enough to respond. Now go try your neener neener childish nonsense on someone else.

That's a very real possibility and it needs to looked into very closely. It's really hard to explain how that roof top was left so unsecured that a shooter could climb onto the roof, deploy a rifle and get shots off.

My current default is some bad hand offs between LEO and SS combined with over stretched SS security having to rely too heavily on local police. At this point we have no idea whether the over watch was SS or local LEO. If they were local, there could be a conflict in rules of engagement between local policies and SS polices.

It could be a screw up or bad coordination with local LEO or it could be an inside job by local LEOs

Time will tell.

He also expressed skepticism over the idea of some sort of conspiracy behind the Secret Service's lapses, explaining that even elite US security agencies are staffed with "ordinary people"

This may have been the case pre-Obama, but government hiring practices changed under BO and Valerie Jarrett.

I can already hear the democrats in the hearing...

“Donald Trump’s failed budget and tax cuts forced the SS to cut staff and overburdened agents. Donald Trump is a threat to democracy and Donald Trump alone is responsible for the political violence we now see. Donald Trump and his extreme maga 2025 agenda are a threat to democracy. Threat to democracy. Fascist. Racist. Xenophobe. January 6th. Insurrection. Guam will tip over.”

Good.

You should.

Are you proud that you serve an organized crime syndicate?

Do you steal purses from old ladies?

The shooter didn’t miss, the target moved.

Dropped the ball?

They intentionally left the ideal sniper perch undefended, and somehow the gunman deduced that he could occupy that position unopposed.

That does not happen by chance.

“I’ve yet to read or hear an explanation of how the gunman was able to reach his perch,…”

Yep! Run this scenario past ANYONE post Dallas ‘63 before yesterday and they’d say No way in hell!

Yes any determined assassin can take out any person…

…but guy getting up on a wide open roof in the perfect position at a perfect distance visible to onlookers who are shouting warnings for minutes, for a straight on kill shot which he ACTUALLY GOT OFF? No way they’d say.
