How is there not one or two milirary or local police on that building that is only 150 yards away ...??? my cousin was on a roof top for 4 hour shifts during a trump rally here in Wilmington, NC ...he says there is no way the SS left that building as Americans almost got screwed by the neglegnece of the SS ....There is a plan of prepreation need to go threough that ...find out how and why they left that building un attended....my cousin was on a building that was over 400 yards away from the stage he the FBI would be incharge in connection with the screewed..!

Roof was not secured! Secret Service screwed up!

[rosegarchow]

Why wasn’t all the rooftops secured my goodness what a lousy security system. So many witnesses telling the police and the Secret Service why didn’t they listen my goodness sakes.

There are questions that need to be answered. I think the biggest question of all is this. The spectators had spotted the shooter and were screaming that he had a gun over and over screaming and screaming. There was a man with a gun before President Trump got shot. Why didn’t the Secret Service rush and secure President Trump when they heard the people screaming or why wasn’t the word gotten to them quick enough so they could whisk President Trump off the stage. It almost seems like they were waiting for the shooter to shoot before they shot back. These questions need to be answered. This was a terrible horrible inexcusable failure on the Secret Service part.
Sure, they went up to protect him after all the shooting was over. But where were they before the shooting was started and the spectators were screaming look look there’s a man with a gun. Why wern’t they responding then? What a colossal example of stupidity on the Secret Service part. It almost makes you think where they waiting on purpose and then ready to shoot back to make themselves look good after the shooter had shot. What the hell went wrong?

Brian Gant's contribution is ZERO, utterly worthless. Listen to Dan Bongino (12 yrs Secret Service) with a first rate analysis.

Who's training secret service agents, Paul Blart?

Why wasn’t all the rooftops secured my goodness what a lousy security system.

Bullshit. It was a disaster Total failure of the secret service.

[garypeequaquat]

I think these guys are in on it. Yuppp

[punchabunchofbuttons]

Yeah right.. having unsecured rooftops in any secured area is a security issue.

[Hunterbidenscrackrock]

1:34 finally someone who isn’t dancing around the truth!

[jordanhauptly]

Lol yeah we believe a confused 20 year old outsmarted the secret service. 🤣🤣 Come on now why did they allow him to get up there let alone take a single shot?

[travisdiemer]

Were multiple shots before rushing stage ....the process was and on ground too long and stopping tgree times to getboff stage?? U dont say wait wait for shoe and photos!!!

[KellyRae..]

He can't knock away his human shield for camera time. Glad he's ok. And the secret service. Sorry for the innocent that lost their life, still don't know their name.
