Why blame local...all secret service fault

[sqrglqm]

today 20yrolds can't even tie their shoes why isn't any media asking a simple question-who trained this thing?

[dyoung]

That poor family....this kid had to have been recruited by an alphabet group😢

[realtalk]

This is false. Secret service literally shows up days early and secures the entire area.

[evad]

Not sure if the news is being fed information, or just not smart enough to understand this. But there's no way that the secret service didn't know about the rooftops of any building within the shooting range.

Why would that be the smart decision??? You’re supposed to protect not retreat!!!

[robertdavis]

A common yardage for zeroing is 100 yards. And that's considered outside? Nonsense.

[mathiasgjd]

What you mean all paid off. That's just straight up no common sense at all.

Try to lay on the opposite and the lower part of a sloped roof and then aim through the roof to the other side. Why does nobody question that first ? I really do not get that. You can even clearly see on all the footage of the shooter, that he was basically aiming into the roof not down from it or staight off from it. Can someone explain this, because I don't get it ? Let me clarify again, if you draw a line that continues with the angle of the roof slope, this line would end up way way above, where mr. pierced ear was standing. So who was piercing the ear with what?

Blame game by Monday morning quarterbacks, just the facts please.

[Nolegu]

Just wondering if any word from local police was sent to SS about someone being on the roof? A lot of bystanders at the rally said police just stood around even after discovering the shooter on the roof.

Making less and less sense as the days go by.

[BrandonSmith-rbbf]

I actually think the perp was there for the crowd, not for DJT

[anthonymichaelwilson]

Check the Boys father out, he brought the rifle ???

[StormBornRabbit]

You can tell that this channel is corrupt. 🙌💯

[larryprice]

Sounds like a hell of a communist cover-up to me
