They deserve all the derision they get. They allowed the president to be assassinated. Its not their fault the shooter missed. They made sure he had access and a clear line of sight they also left him completely unhindered for at least a half an hour. They did all they could to make this assassination happen and then their shooter went and missed. Thank god he did but don’t thank the secret service they failed at every possible step so much so that it doesn’t seem possible its incompetence. I’d like to know who picked this sight for the rally because they may be involved too
They allowed the president to be assassinated.

No they didn’t. They allowed the President to be in danger of being assassinated. Please be accurate and don’t contribute to the loose language that is floating around. There are sufficient word choices to choose from to describe any situation.
