I like how Dan’s counter to her comment was just a picture of them easily standing on that dangerously sloped roof.

Too late. Those comms have already been buried. The CYA doctrine is Supreme!

“And what’s the tallest structure in the area? The damn water tower! Why didn’t they have eyes up there?”

the Trump campaign reports the asked and were denied additional security. Trump has his own personal security, I hope he puts them in a supervisory position over the Secret Service.

And what political party was the person who denied the additional security?

That ‘slope’ was so shallow it’s laughable.

I’m very interested in discovering the names of the persons who denied requested additional Secret Service security and who their political party is. Oh, and who deemed 150 yards to be ‘outside the security perimeter’…

The Director basically said, we’ll secure the “inside” of the building, but the roof is on it’s own.
That in and of itself seems like a huge lack of a full coverage of possible sniper locations.
There were several easy ways to secure the entire(roof included) building, yet the SS chose to secure from the “inside”.

It is reasonable that if Crooks could maintain his balance and fire multiple shots with a rifle while perched on the slanted roof, that others could have been placed up there for security too.

““That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof. And so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside,” she said.

They couldn’t go on the roof for safety reasons, but others can and did. Makes perfect illogical sense.

Reports are that command was notified that there was someone on that roof minutes before the dirtbag started shooting. The fact that they tried to get an officer onto the roof to check that out would confirm such reports.

If command was notified that there was someone on the roof, the SS countersnipers would doubtlessly have had eyes on him immediately — they’d just have had to glass that roof and they would have seen him.

The fact that the countersnipers took the dirtbag out shortly after he started shooting also strongly suggests they had already acquired him as a target before the first shots were fired.

If, as therefore appears likely, the countersnipers saw him *before* he started shooting, and if reports are correct that they then requested permission to engage (and such was denied or otherwise not given by SS command), then whoever made that call needs to be pilloried. And given the “DEI uber alies” agenda of the current SS head, I won’t be shocked if said person turns out to be another DEI hire / promotion.

And what’s the tallest structure in the area? The damn water tower! Why didn’t they have eyes up there?

Screwup of gargantuan proportions. Which, under the current administration, means nobody will be held accountable.
