That guy is NOT telling the truth. It WAS left unguarded. The police and the secret service was informed by multiple people that the perp was on that roof, and one even went and climbed a ladder and saw him, and refused to engage with him. They knew and refused to do their job. Folks need to stop covering up for them.

[Sir.JohnHawkins]

The secret service must be investigated. And not by the fbi

[d.antondigre]

I will never ever believe this wasn’t deliberately allowed to happen by our government.

[riccardorigucci]

If there was no guard on the roof, then the roof was unguarded. If nobody was watching the roof, the roof was unguarded.

[SouthernHiker]

As a former security professional, I cannot believe how badly this was botched.
Totally unacceptable.

[AnitaAdamski]

How did the kid know that roof would be unguarded. According to witnesses, he purposely knew where he was going.

Secret Service women (or men) who are too short CANNOT protect their asset. Forget the damned gender, DEI, etc. crap!!! EVERY ONE of those secret service should have been taller than Trump so they could adequately do their job ...

[dougvanausdal]

Some of us believe that it was left open on purpose

[tannerbuck]

The same secret service that couldn't figure out who left cocaine in the White House

[themisto]

We can't even get Epstein answers. We'll never know all the facts about this either.

[stevengaffney]

The head of the secret service needs to step down and apologize to this country

[-NoneOfYourBusiness]

2:46 Look at this 5'2" women "protecting" 6'2" Trump from shootings. This is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.

[syko]

This was a failure of the secret service. There's no "it was covered". Clearly it wasn't. Stop trying to gaslight.

[Daft_Dhwelk]

There were 3 structures in that farm, with 3 bloody rooftops, how hard it is to secure it? This isn't downtown New York or LA. This stinks.

[King_JappyJoe]

Trump should never trust the Secret Service EVER AGAIN!!

[kevinmacisaac]

A guy lost his life protecting his family , pretty sad

[IndianaRob]

Two men warned the secret service men that they see a man on the roof, , but the secret service ignored them..thats what went WRONG..

[footjesuspilledpureblood]

Secret Service having "reactive" policy to threats seems beyond absurd. This whole situation really stinks.

[NightShade]

I disagree with him. The Secret Service left too many open spaces over his body, and didn't rush Trump out quick enough. And they shouldn't have had a woman, who was at least a foot shorter than Trump protecting his body.

[Howrider]

When people on the ground saw this guy on the roof what was the secret service doing??? No drone nothing just ridicules.
