    The teleprompter looks intact in the video. Not buying that.

    I understand the anger, I really do. I'm just more sad than angry. What in the hell has happened to this country?

    Some of them love Trump so I get they’ll be emotional. What they won’t do is second guess gun safety.

    If it was outside containment perimeter not sure how you blame SS. They are a small org and depend heavily on the local troops on the ground.

    Now if they had 4 phone tips they didn’t answer…

    How big is the perimeter?
    I’d think it needs to be pretty big.

    The SS is responsible for securing the location, that doesn’t just mean protection within the venue.

    I'm sure some sickos would, but it wouldn't be the majority. A Trump assassination is TERRIBLE for this country.

    Still this video description is pretty harrowing.

    Of course it is hindsight, but just remembering what happened in Dallas why was there not security on every roof at the location of the rally?

    Saved by God? I hate it when people say stuff like that when others got killed in the same incident.

    Anyone broadly labeling or condemning a group over this is a problem.

    Yeah, I keep seeing people crediting secret service. And of course the guys that put themselves in the line of fire cannot be faulted. But as an an agency, that’s a major fail.

    Especially if it’s true a man in the rally saw the shooter on the roof a full 2-3 minutes in advance and even tried to notify the police. WTF were they doing?

    Law enforcement should have been on that roof. Secure that vantage point and most likely the shooter gets scared off before thinks about going up there. I’m sure candidates don’t get near the numbers of agents as the actual sitting POTUS, but that’s still a major miss for what was a staged rally.

    I am an independent that has voted for Obama and trump. The left has sick people. So does the far right. But this is sickening.

    Respectfully you need to get out more then. I live in an area surrounded by liberal people, people far to the left of me, and they’re nothing like you describe.
