I don't forgive the reporter on getting details wrong, it's their job to vet these things, to be sure that whatever they write, whatever gets printed has been determined to be correct, if not you don't print it. That has been abused now for a long time, print the story then if it turns out to be false, retract it on page 4 at the bottom.

This is called "Taking the wheel."

And this "journalist" needs to have the taste slapped out of her mouth.

I am sick of these adult bedwetters.

They are truly disgusting.

Good for him. Taking it to them big time .

Holy cow. My first thought was “I wouldn’t want to be the guy that took that video.” And now to find out it was actually taken by one of the victims.

How in the world could the police in that building not have heard him running on across the top of that building?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The whole attempted assassination event just reeks doesn't it? And where something smells like shit you can bet there is some.

And no, I'm not advocating any conspiracy theory. Just reacting to this fiasco as details continue to unfold.

Well judging by the mutiple takes by people reporting on a Trump interview today, Trump clashing about his stance supporting the Black community and manner of clashing - as it is being reported - is unlikely to help his position.

? Clashing, being reported and what position is that?

This lady is a hack. Given a list of “gotcha” questions aimed at making Trump look bad. She doesn’t even have the skill or intelligence to work the questions into conversation. Just sit down and puke the vile accusations all over.

Disgraceful.

The ironic thing is they will vote Kamala who will continue to do nothing for them.

According this Fox News article: Link, the local guys in the two windows of the two story building behind the shooter and furthest from him were not assigned to watch the roof and what they were assigned to prevented the them from seeing the roof. Pictures from the article showing what they were assigned to watch and their setup back from the window so they wouldn’t be spotted:




This Fox News article is the locals’ response to the testimony the USSS Acting Director gave on Tuesday: Link. A snippet from the article:

“"Our guys were in a covert sniper position, you know. They're set back a couple feet from the window," the DA said. "So, you know, in order to see on that roof, they would have had to hang out, hang outside, and in doing so, give up their position."

Bible added that if the Secret Service told local officials to station snipers on the roof, they would have, "absolutely."”

Would the Secret Service have documentation showing who they assigned to do what on that day?

The questions at this point seem to be:
Did the Secret Service assign someone to watch the roof?
If they did, who did they assign and why weren’t they watching the roof?

Maybe I'm mistaken...hard to know just from audio, but I think some of the response was positive sounding for President Trump.

Some biased wording in these, read with salt:

I think (and that is strange), he could have deflected by saying race shouldn't be an issue, the person best suited to lead the country is the issue.

Why would COUNTER-snipers need to be "covert"?

Yeah, that seems like a better idea.

So a bunch of people outside aren’t pointing and yelling “There’s a guy with a gun in that window!"? You have to give the random people some credited for correctly identifying the guy with the gun on the roof as a problem.

Probably closer to the truth: wouldn’t broadcasting all of your defenses put you at a tactical disadvantage?

I’ve always assumed there’s the guys you see and then there’s the one’s you don’t. Like looking at the White House from Pennsylvania Ave. You can see guys on the roof. I’ve always assumed if you get over the fence, other guys pop up like Whack-A-Mole.

I believe the answer to this question is probably, "yes."
I also believe it's not something they'd willingly share with the public, as a matter of not letting out the methods by which they do things. As trapper mentioned in the previous post (more eloquently than me), broadcasting your defenses [could] put you at a tactical disadvantage.
