Unfortunately, I have to agree with you. Also the SS did not do their job. Before the attempt on Trump, people in the crowd were pointing out that guy in camouflage on the roof of that building, yet the secret service/law enforcement did not respond. And the counter sniper waited until the perp took numerous shots to respond.

I forgot that SS also stood for Secret Service...

Maybe the terms will merge when fascism takes the presidency in the US

USSS.

The acronym is USSS.

Some of his detail might wish they were SS but we're not there... Yet.

Was just talking to my Dad about this, he was saying from what he heard (he watches more news than I do) the local law enforcement basically said, "Well, he was outside the perimeter, so there wasn't really anything we could do," as their explanation for how it happened.

It's going to be interesting to see this whole investigation play out and what comes up for motives and such.

I love how liberal news outlets are baffled why a registered republican would shoot Trump. Don't care what the more conservative outlets think, I'll hear about it later

Yeah, weird how a registered Republican sniper was given all the time in the world to get into a sniper nest with eyewitnesses but was then shot to death immediately after firing.
