Uncovered roof with clear LOS 130 yards away. Secret Service: FAIL.

[darrell]

Excuses, excuses, excuses....this happened too easily.

[HonestAbe]

The question to ask is "How did a 20 year old know that was the only unsecured rooftop?"

[nicholephelps]

A 20 year old was smarter than secret service. This is an embarrassment to our security.

[MaxStArlyn]

This is insulting my intelligence. This is nothing new, nor is it rocket science. All roof tops should have been monitored.

[angryjohnny]

And what about the guy who was interviewed by the BBC that TRIED to warn them about the dude on the roof with a rifle? And the authorities ignored him.

[spoders]

I am very concerned when random bystanders are more alert than the Secret Service.

[maikolmaikol]

They were warned by a witness that the man on the roof had a gun and they ignored him

[laurenblainebamartistmgt]

Why didn’t the Secret Service listen to the citizens who were telling them that there was a man on the roof with a gun?

[phylliswestbury]

NOT 180 degrees WHEN DOZENS OF PEOPLE ARE TELLING THEM WHERE HE WAS 4 minutes BEFORE THE SHOTS.
RIDICULOUS!!!

[RAYTHEONGAMING]

130 Secret Service absolutely saw this kid.

[DanielJohnson-ecrk]

So they normally check 1000 yards and miss 150 yards? Makes no sense

[samanthalightworker]

This is bull crap! This guy is is not addressing the elephant in the room! If Course it was obvious that there was a guy on the roof 400 feet away! Why doesn't this guy address the obvious? I don't trust any of them at this point!

[sergiogoncalves]

Donald Trump better hire private security, the FBI is not trustworthy!

[nationtoday]

That was the slowest response from any secret service that I could ever Imagine This looked really bad and weak

[daveharty-wbmr]

What a crock- starts out by saying they are looking out to 1000 yards but then ends up saying the 130 yard rooftop was outside the security perimeter. The grassy

[Ex-MuslimTestimonies]

Plan A: Stop him in the press…fail
Plan B: Stop him on social media..fail
Plan C: Stop him in court….fail
Plan D: …just failed

[wayneyd]

That rooftop was ONLY about 130 yards away. My question is, why weren't the Secret Service on that rooftop.

[robertordish]

The closest building...130 yards away is NOT secured??? Very, very suspect..

[michaelcarlson]

Sounds like a tool, giving excuses for the obvious failure.
