I have been trying to convince myself that my Government had nothing to do with this. It's getting harder and harder.

[PartScavenger]

Thank you for showing us the truth sir.

Now that the secret service director has resigned, it’s time for her to face criminal charges

[Michael-bfjn]

You’re an American hero..to get up there and live to tell the story. Wow

[wictimovgovonca]

I'm not a fan of these kinds of stunts to demonstrate a point, but in this case, Congressman Gimenez is doing a great job pointing out how ridiculous the prior excuse was.

Are you alright ? How can you stand on such a sloping roof?

[cvonp]

🤔It seems no one is asking the obvious question: How did Thomas Crooks 'know' his position was safe from the eyes of the Secret Service and law enforcement? I mean, looking at the layout of the fair grounds, his spot was obviously ideal and yet it, even though it offered poor concealment, he went virtually ignored on that roof for nearly and hour - and it was only 'after' he fired shots that security responded. So, how did he know no one would look in his direction???

[lechiffre]

OMG. You were practically hanging on for dear life. No safety harness or anything. Wow!

Im a roofer for 36 yrs now, ive fallen asleep on roofs like that during lunch break, a child could basically walk that roof

It is also common to park fire engines, and the like, blocking any clear view of stage.

[billwhite]

Can you show us why the 2 SS snipers were watching him shoot before firing?

[thomasmaloney]

But Carlos is an elite operator from Seal Team 6. Only people like him can negotiate that steep pitched roof.

[Funntimer]

You’re so brave to be standing on this sloping roof. Secret service couldn’t do it…it’s too scary for them.

[Wayoutthere]

Now this type of politician is worth voting for

[pimplefacedprick]

Wow he even went to the highest point where she said it was sloped the most.

[RajHK]

When you go woke you don’t go on roofs that are sloped

[xpvioyg]

A ten year old child should have no troubles if they were up there.

I would like to say one more thing: the smoking gun in this dilemma is the police officer that came face-to-face with the shooter and then fell off the ladder and why he/or she didn't tell any of the security about it? somethings wrong here very wrong.
