How does a 20 year old know that the top of the building was not secured , Something smells fishy .

[mhollman]

The real question is how a 20 year old outsmarted the Secret Service, the FBI and law enforcement.

[javaman]

What profound incompetence from the secret service. The contention that "they (secret service) did everything they could" is totally and completely unacceptable

[profi]

2 different people went to law enforcement and said they saw a man climbing a building with a rifle. The one guy said he walked back a second time to tell law enforcement since they did nothing. There was a crowd of people pointing and looking at the shooter. This is unacceptable

[kcx]

He was seen. They were warned. They ignored.

We were an inch away from living in a very different world.

I'm glad ppl aren't just sweeping things under the rug. They were notified about someone on a roof prior to the shooting but not response to the threat? Is crazy

[anastasia]

why do they refer to the shooter/murderer as a "gentleman" ????

[UhhhAreyouok]

A 20yr old kid, who lived an hour away with no military or special ops training was able to pull this off as a lone wolf? Yeah, ok...

[collettedobrocke]

Secret service dropped the ball. They were told someone was on the rooftop. They didn't do anything
..WHY...

[frontenac]

*THE CENSORSHIP IN THE COMMENTS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE!*

[jimish]

What an irony they’re so strict with passengers getting inside the airport, just so suspicious of every luggage but that guy with a gun just slipped thru those security staff.

[blainesitter]

Secret Service, 5"2 women Shielding the President . DEI over security ?

[xaingu]

It is not misinformation, it's on record 3 times they requested more support and were denied, look it up.

[bobrainer]

He called an assassinator "a gentleman". Very telling.

[judgetk]

I find it very hard to believe that at 150yds there was no secret service on that rooftop. I always thought that secret service protected quotas was out to 800 yards. The only way that this could have happened was someone in charge of protection detail made a conscious decision not to post a man on that rooftop. That was a key point of any attempt being able or have any chance of its directives to succeed. Someone directly was told not to cover from that spot.

[APL]

Trump needs to dump the Secret Service and hire his own security, the security was either complicit or totally incompetent.

[JRN]

“See something say something”. People see someone on that roof and say something. They didn’t act on it.
