What I liked *BEST* about this report was the lack of sensationalism; just clear, calmly relayed facts. Thank you.

[Preobrazhensky]

Why the thumbnail look like one of those crime stories from the 80s-90s?

" Let me get my shoes. "
BRO WAS NOT PHASED-

They told police and waved to secret service that it was a guy on the roof with a weapon still they didnt do anything?

[onlythetruthfull]

If the police knew of the shooter's presence then they should have shouted Donald Duck!

[liberty-matrix]

Everyone admits that not covering the rooftop was a colossal failure. But how did a 20 yr. old kid know to exploit that failure? It only works if it was planned.

[Lunabella]

I love how he bear crawled like he’s so stealthy but anyone who looked that way saw him

[theheightsboy]

original target wounded, 3 innocent people dead or seriously injured, suspect dead. this is a complete failure of law enforcement.

[ideclair]

This infuriates me so much.. There was so much warning and the security was lacking in a critical area..

[HRANCH]

Most visually descriptive video I've seen of this event. Well done.

[niftyblad]

Its a really bad crime in most contries to not do your duty some one will be really punished for this

[trecurt]

The roofs they were on are more sloped than the one the one the shooter was on?

[mr.darknight]

Yep the security turned a blind eye definitely

[mntervuren]

What happened to the bullet? Why wasn't anyone struck behind him? Seems several people behind Trump were in the line of trajectory.

[stoneageprogrammer]

And what about the WATERTOWER?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I've seen at LEAST TWO separate videos, from two different vantage points, of someone in black on top of the WATERTOWER during the shooting and just before. Why don't they talk about it?

[TurnOffYourTV]

Ok. Thanks NBC.
More of this ...More real work.

[lpmbpue]

"If you wanna really see something..."
*Bang bang bang*

[bmw]

Everyone has heard of smoke and mirrors, is there something else going on that nobody is watching or reporting while all attention is focused here or do I no longer trust politicians?

[christy]

The Secret Service Turned a Blind Eye….Definitely…

[jbs]
