Does the secret service routinely job out tasks of securing rooftops 130 yards away from the President and say oh well, too bad when they do not and shots are taken? I thought the secret service owned all the potential sniper positions and secured them all before hand? No? Is this a new policy?
VDH had this to say.
“Finally, the idea, if true, that bystanders spotted a 20-year-old on a nearby roof with a gun, a mere 130 yards from Trump, and in vain warned police of his presence, is surreal.
Is it all that hard for the Secret Service to post a few agents on the tops of a few surrounding buildings closest to the dais, or at least coordinate with local law enforcement to do the same?
That is a no brainer. Whoever made the decisions concerning the proper secret service security details for presidential events should be immediately fired.”

I just heard a local news reporter discuss the absence of high level cranes (viewing posts for the Secret Service)which are customarily on the perimeter of these Trump rallies.
