I get your point. But this is part of America and freedom. We should be able to be free to express our opinions, without someone going as far as shooting a rifle. Even if I think the above is in poor taste. It's part of what makes us great as a country, usually.

In my opinion, what you're trying to say here is like saying trump is responsible for all those people storming the capital. Same with taking bidens bullseye comment out of context. That's a play right out of the medias book against Trump. In my humble opinion, that's the crap that needs to stop all around on all sides.

I remember when Obama was visiting a more rural state and they had effigy of him hanging by a rope as he drove past. That's disgusting in my opinion. As is shooting at trump and the articles you posted above. We all need to do better.

You won't find a member that's more pro 1A than myself and I agree with your premise. I'm simply stating to the masses to KNOW your enemy.

I will say it is not even close as to the amount that comes out from the left compared to the right.

Do you remember the nightly play in New York's central park that depicted the assassination of a Trump character?

This might have been covered since I haven't read all of the replies yet. At this angle the bullet would have penetrated his head unless Trump was looking to his right. Did he have his head turned that far? I'm no Trig expert, but that angle just doesn't add up.
EDIT - Now that I think about this more. It had to come from the front because someone was hit behind Trump.
I might have this all wrong because I don't know the configuration of the stands and the podium though.

Something I think a lot of people, including the video above, overlook is. He's not the president. At that point he wasn't even the official nominee yet. His security detail is muuuuuuuchhhhh different than that of the president. The second is that Donald Trump is known to push secret services beyond what they are comfortable with, to remain accessible, which I think is great. But, it creates problems for them at times. I think the fist in the air kind of shows this.

I saw another video from a different military sniper that talks about, I think he called it, dead space? Which meant the angle of the roof and the snipers ability to see a threat. He also discussed what that sniper is doing. It's likely, according to him, he's scanning around in the scope. So it's likely while he was looking through the glass he hadn't seen the threat yet. What he said is, we don't get to get a cup of coffee and then go back to the scope we stay dialed in.

Just a different perspective. Now that being said, that is a pretty glaring oversight, even for a smaller security footprint.

It definitely wasn't the fault of the sniper, like you said through a scope, tunnel vision, etc.

But what was a massive failure was for TWO MINUTES people in the crowd saw this douche belly crawling along the roof and told the authorities and they absolutely dropped the fucking ball.

I get it. Not saying they don't push and vocalize and are jn your face. Just saying, we are all guilty of it and the temperature of where we are. Its on everyone to dial it back. Im guilty of it too. Even trump turned it down in his response since. Something along the lines of, I think we can have a more civil election, when discussing bidens call to him. I really respected that.

No doubt there. There are some MAJOR questions.

I imagine that he personally reaches out to people like Musk, Dana White, Kid Rock, Alex Jones, Tim Kennedy, Rogan etc who already have access to security people they trust to look after Trump.

Unfortunately you only need to buy off one person to hurt him.
Rogan is a hard no unless this event changed something. He’s said as much several times.

I’m as guilty as any, but I won’t be dialing anything back as I know we are in the middle of a war for our nation with an enemy that has ZERO intentions of dialing anything back.

They’ll play the sheep like they are, but they’ll be working behind the curtain and eventually getting back to their status-quo.

Bank it.

Here's my conspiracy theory, let him take his shot, then they take their shot to keep him from talking... Inside job.

It's sad that it's come to this, but i can't blame anyone for having conspiracy theories after all the bullshit they have conspired to do against Trump over the last 8 years.

They have done nothing but erode their credibility and fan the flames of conspiracy with their actions.

I understand the attention on Trump and rightfully so. It’s a disgusting time in our country’s history and thankfully he wasn’t murdered but…

This man deserves the spotlight and if he laid over his daughter to keep them safe this is the real hero in all of this and should be celebrated. Dude is a real one!

Wouldn’t that water tower be a good place for LE to hang out?
The trees block a lot once you get too elevated...that said, they would have also had a pretty clear view of 90% of the spectators. Should have been a team there, and a drone scanning the area I think.

Personally if I knew someone was going to get shot I wouldn't sit behind them. And if I was I would be ducking before the shots (or as soon as they occurred) because I would know it was coming. I was actually surprised more people didn't pull out there phone and film as a first reaction. Also I don't know how easily it was known that it was gun fire if you were in the crowed. Gun was fired from far away so even if I heard the sound I wouldn't think it was close to me. Unless you were hit or heard the bullet wiz past you then you probably didn't know exactly what was going on until SS jumped on trump.

That’s a start, now the City Council needs to deny his taxpayer funded pension and healthcare benefits. Let the POS try to survive flipping burgers..

Unless you knew where it was coming from already.

A round coming your direction sounds nothing like from behind the weapon. Coming down rage at you it sounds like a snap or bull whip. Most people, unless they’ve been shot at or in war, wouldn't know what’s happening.

You’re not wrong. The media is covering the shooter more than this man and, he was a man, in every sense of the word. It frustrates the fuck out of me that the media gives the POS shooter more coverage than this person.
When I read his daughters statement yesterday I had an onion moment, a real HERO. 👍

The lefts idea of brave is a man wearing women's clothing in public, we are not the same.

Can you elaborate on if the secondary rooftop cop with the police patch (I’m assuming he is not SS?) operates under the same policy as the SS guys during that event?
Honest question.

In other words when you guys are farmed out to an agency are you then operating solely under their guidelines, your departmental and State guidelines, or a combination of some kind?
If you zoom in below the police patch is says secret service.
Its some what hard to see but it is there

I haven’t posted them all but here have been 3 or 4 more resignations or terminations posted by LIbsofTikTok today. Don’t need to post them all but it is interesting to see.

Well…here is one.

If you did simulated combat training where you low crawl and they shoot over head in basic, then you’ve experienced it. At the time I had no idea they shot 10’ over your head in case some idiot stands up in the middle of the range. It was pretty intense, especially with a DI screaming at you the entire time. 😬

The few bullets that have gone by me have had a “wizzing” sound..

Once you know that sound and hear it you don’t mistake it again.

Haha, yep...Deer hunting probably 10 feet above my head, sitting at the base of a tree having a snack.

Was that?...Naw...wait a minute o_O
