Easton Smith, who was outside of the security perimeter at the rally, said he saw a man climbing up the roof of a nearby building. Smith said he tried to alert the authorities for three to four minutes, but thought they probably could not see the gunman because of the slope of the roof. “Why is there not Secret Service on all of these roofs here?” he asked. “This is not a big place. It’s a security failure, 100% security failure.”

1000 drones for fire work shows none for surveillance at a presidential rally???

[winstn]

Letting the FBI investigate this gives me 0% assurance that we will ever know the truth.

[carolegrunsky]

Don’t understand how civilians saw the man on roof but, secret service didn’t?

[KellyS]

Prayers to the family and friends of the man who lost his life, and a speedy recovery to all those affected.

[joshuapaul]

How could secret service not secure rooftops?

[JCMom]

How did he know that rooftop wouldn’t be covered?

[RDAmidwest]

How will MSM spin this guy as a right wing extremist?
Also, I WILL question the Secret Service on this one. Low slope rooftop with line of site to the platform, and only 150 yards away yet no surveillance?
C'mon! These aren't supposed to be rank amateur security folks. Supposedly our best?
Grab your tin hats cuz this is gonna get weird.

[frossbog]

FBI didn't identify him. Internet sleuths figured it out 3 hours earlier.

[Mina-kiiz]

20 year old? Definitely hired by someone.

[ewtn]

What are the chances this suspect picked the one location that wasn’t filled with police.

[jamescoe]

First we were given Oswald, then Ruby, then Sirhan and now Crooks. Trust is gone!

[PrisonPreacher]

The only thing the Secret Service didn't plan on, was Trump walking off the stage.

[Chrisflye]

American media: “loud noises” “fell down”

Other media: “gun shots”

[alexanderk]

I see a lot of women in the secret service team, and they looked very confused.

[utrend.]

Is this really a scenario? Why wasn't the obvious rooftop covered?

[denise]

I blame the liars in the media and the government. 20 years old?

[triggsymalone]

Where was his protection..
This stinks off corruption

[williamwallacedebruce]

Not only was it NOT covered but it had a DIRECT LINE OF SIGHT. This has the finger print of the FBI & CIA written all over it.

So the FBI registered him as a Republican to throw off the scent that they put out the hit on him. Thats why all the bots in the comments keep mentioning it
