That immediately brings to mind that attendees saw the shooter on the roof, told security and according to the news two local cops climbed up and fell down when he aimed at them and yet the Secret Service Sniper did not see him in time. Something wrong here.
Yeah, I've been to a couple Trump rallies, and thought about attending this one in Butler, but didn't feel like standing all day in the very hot humid weather. I don't know why they chose the Butler Farm Show Grounds when the nearby Big Butler Fairgrounds would have been a much larger and more easily secured venue. I noticed that security seemed fairly sparse compared to the rallies I attended, where there were uniformed snipers on top of taller buildings and airport hangers. I'm astounded that a man with a rifle could get on top of a building roof in broad daylight less than 150 yards from Trump. There was even a ladder to get up there. When Obama visited a plant where I worked, the Secret Service was in there for days in advance securing all elevated positions, and blocking access to overhead crane ladders. Lockers were tack welded closed after being checked for explosives with bomb sniffing dogs. Snipers were placed in Crane Cabs. I did not attend that Obama speech, because I had no interest, but attendees told me security was extremely tight and visible.
Then for this assassin to be seen on the roof by several eyewitnesses, and reported to police for several minutes without prompt reaction to stop the threat and cover Trump is equally amazing. If it is true that the Secret Service now has rules of engagement to not neutralize a threat until he actually fires a clearly visible gun, then it just doesn't get much worse. It's kind of like paying Border Patrol Agents to stand by and watch millions of illegals enter our country. That kinda screams either total incompetence or complicity. In either case, heads should roll.
We likely won't be told of decisions to reduce or limit Trump's Secret Service Detail at this rally. Biden's head of the Secret Service, and many agents are obviously ineffective DEI hires. Add another abject failure to Biden's abysmal record. But we do know that Democrats totally denied Secret Service protection to RFK Jr., and there is a bill in the House of Representatives by Democrat Bennie Thompson and nine other Democrats to eliminate Trump's Secret Service protection. All of this is while supporting or engaging in inflammatory rhetoric that has put Trump more at risk. After years of willful and reckless endangerment, should we believe them now when they say violence such as this has no place in our country? As I often say about our Libtards here, pay attention to what they do, rather than what they say.
News about the would be assassin is still very sparse. The Liberal Media is quick to emphasize he was a registered Republican, which means nothing to me. At that same age, I was a registered Democrat, but switched to No-Party Affiliation soon after seeing how crooked my Democrat bosses were. He donated to Act Blue, and some sources say he had ties to ANTIFA. This must be about the only 20 year old on earth without a presence on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or other social media. What, no computer history??? No cell phone??? No texts??? No information on drug use, or anti-depressants??? It just doesn't smell right. Of course, we've seen the Left engaged in wiping emails, computers, and social media posts, so you don't have to be paranoid to think something is amiss here. Is this being investigated by the same FBI that supported a phony dossier about Trump/Russia collusion and said that Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation? That certainly inspires confidence that we'll be getting the whole truth.
Then, as if we needed further proof of the mental illness of the Left, we have all sorts of social media posts and interviews showing insane Liberal Democrats who are in mourning because the bullets didn't kill Trump. If you haven't seen them, you should check them out on places like YouTube, Libs of TikTok, etc. It's scary to think that people this unhinged are among us, and are even allowed to vote. They should be in strait-jackets, under psychiatric care.
And of course, we can't forget that iconic photo of a bloodied Trump, fist pumping and defiant. Quite a few Liberals feel the whole assassination attempt was staged or faked, and that Trump actually was willing to allow a sniper to fire a 5.56 mm rifle bullet from nearly 150 yards at his moving head to pierce his ear, and even kill innocent bystanders, just to get a great campaign photo and a bump in the polls.
Do they perchance make 8 ply steel belted radial strait-jackets for these jackasses?
