Donald Trump narrowly missed being killed during an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania earlier today. A sniper was on a rooftop about 150 yards away and opened fire while Trump was speaking. One person was killed and another severely wounded.
I see a major security failure by the Secret Service in this incident.
Thank God he's ok.

From an amateur perspective it’s seems odd that a high vantage point would be left unattended during a visit of a HVT like a former President.

There was a time that I may have felt this was crazy talk, well not to more.
It's also plausible that the 'Swamp' assigned the D team of the Secret Service to protect Trump in the hopes that something like this would happen.

I think he had a social media presence that started to disappear rather quickly after the act.....I know several who found out who he is and that the social media had just been suspended or ghosted etc....he was allegedly a registered Republican but supported Biden and donated to leftist causes.
Had he been a true blue Republican his media presence would have been amplified and echoed on every outlet that even the Republicans think Trump is too dangerous to be POTUS ....this is one of the few times the leftist media were not prepared to spin this in their favor in a strategic way...instead many with media influence are being caught with their pants down and making comments such as they wish the shooter had succeeded and the emperor has been stripped naked yet again.
Supposedly he has some Antifa links.... we'll see how that pans out

There is a video circulating on twitter of (supposedly) the shooter flipping out in front of a Trump booth of some sort.
Appears to be completely unhinged.
A young impressionable mentally unstable loner…
Classmates in school said he was a terrible shot and was rejected from the school gun club.
A ladder was in place to get on the roof.
The roof was unobserved long enough for him to get in position.
Not sure whether to put on a tinfoil hat or just chalk it up to chance.
But, the odds of everything lining up perfectly like this do seem strange.
Awfully well executed for someone with so little competence.

I was suspicious about that one.
Hence the “supposedly” qualifier.
There does seem to be consistency with the elements of the kid being a loner, being rejected from the gun club, and poor marksmanship.
But the gun skill issue was as a freshman, and it’s entirely possible that he improved his skill over the next 5 years.
Poor staffing and communication could explain the incomplete coverage outside the perimeter.
To me, the curious puzzle piece is the ladder in a convenient spot where he could ascend out of view.
You guys are a bunch of haters, who hatefully hate in a hateful manner...hatefully. None of this matters. it's all about having enough purple-haired trannies as senior supervisory agents, ensuring JaQuantavius (who has thirteen felonies and 78 arrests for violence and drug possession) is enabled to be an Agent, it's about ensuring SS agents have the support and system enabling them to seek transgender surgery to enable their health care decisions free of your bias, ignorance, and hate, to allow the mentally infirm and unstable folks hiding in the shadows of our grossly patriarchal and supremacist culture can dress up and play SS agent and feel good about themselves.

How the USSS and local LE had eyes on this guy for 26 minutes, took a photo of him on the ground and on the roof (sans firearm), and reported him with a rangefinder in hand with nothing done begs so many questions.

I have a hard time accepting this as an excuse if anything it seems an inexperienced team would be hyper vigilant to a fault...also not in a million years do I believe that they were not briefed on each other's locations etc in fact it is confirmed by the top who stated that none of the SS was to be on that particular building because the roof was sloped so ignorance of the layout and a briefing of a plan can be no excuse, the SS shooter knew beforehand that no one was to be there .....this kid walked up to the buildings in view of anyone who cared to
look including the SS, State and local LEO assigned to the duty.....I also understand that LEO was in the building he shot from.

Don't think he needed a ladder the building had one of the metal service ladders attached to the outside, he might have thought he needed it but then just used the unsecured (frailer of security). ladder that was accessible.
Everyone keeps saying how could he miss the shot. I say easy if he was hopped up on adrenalin (just got made by the cop on the ladder) so knew he was going to get caught soon.
Next I don't think he crawled up the the edge and used the peak of the building as support. he was more likely just sitting up and started shooting off hand with no support. (see the reaction from the snipers) He was just seen and they did not believe their eyes that he was so close. Once the shooting started you can also see the spotter start taking cover behind the ridge of the building and not looking though his scope. (caught with pants down and no combat experience is what that tells me.) no conspiracy at all just stupid people, and opportunity.
Inquiring minds want to know....how long before Biden talks about that time he was shot in the ear? :D
Hillary can't. ;)
Not an excuse but what was the skill set level of the Pittsburgh agents? had they worked as a team etc. The SS does other law enforcement like: counterfeiting/fed Fraud and RICO etc. and not all are continually working as security PP.
The questions about one or more shooters will be an interesting eval.
This kid had some kind of help or prior info to execute this imo.

SS Biden-Buddy hire says they didn't run a drone because they felt that counter-sniper assets were sufficient. Then, read in an aggregation of Fox stories on their timeline that a SS spokesperson told Fox that they hadn't had time to put in for a Special Gov't Interest permit. As both a pilot and a drone owner I will say "Horsehockey!"
The Butler Farm Show & Fair Grounds, including the adjacent little private airstrip to the west, are in Uncontrolled Airspace. There was/is no requirement to submit anything. I could fire my little drone up on the grounds, climb to a nice altitude and peruse all I want. So they're full of shit. One thing they COULD have done is get the FAA to put out a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) for Special Use Airspace as being restricted fo 'X' numbers of hours up to 'Y' altitude, and they could've run a drone under their own authority because it becomes literally their air.
I verified this with FAA's own software they provide (free, called B4UFLY) so drone oprs can quickly check a piece of airspace (works slick on a Google map type interface). There would be zero problem (other than keeping sufficient batteries charged) to keeping a drone up for the relatively short time needed. Peruse to your heart's content, including areas obstructed to other teams by foliage, structure etc.
Their stories, even among themselves, continue to vaporize like denture adhesive hit with a giant bottle of Coca-Cola®.

I'm a drone owner too...what SS said is total BS. It would take the SS less than 5 minutes to get the airspace around the event restricted to aircraft other than their own. After the lessons learned in Ukraine with drone warefare, you'd think restricting airspace around an event would be a line on the security checklist routinely filled out in advance.

Maybe even get Christopher Lloyd/Jim Ignatowski to play Joe Biden…
Obviously we bring in Melissa McCarthy to play one of the Secret Service Agents.
Then…

…to play Kamala Harris
…we bring in
…Joe Pesci

You jokers ALL know that I am right. Joe Pesci can play any role that you throw at him.
Raging Bull, Lethal Weapon 2, Easy Money, My Cousin Vinny, Lethal Weapon III, 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag, Lethal Weapon More - everything Joe touches turns into box office gold.
Can you imagine Joe laying down a line like "You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you”

I usually entertain conspiracy theories involving the government.
Do I believe most of them? No.
But they are always worth exploring because the government should always answer to the people and should never be allowed to shut down any discussion.
They work for the people.
When it comes to INDIVIDUALS who may work for the government, they always enjoy the presumption of innocence.
When it comes to COLLECTIVE government entities, they bear a presumption of guilt.
Government entities should always satisfy the questions of the public and demonstrate a level of transparency which avoids even the slightest appearance of impropriety.
Such a standard protects the integrity of the good public servants from being corrupted by the inevitable bad apples.
When trillions of dollars and the power over life and death are at stake, it is reasonable to have a presumption of guilt upon collective government entities.

And just like that….Proves the point that the SS Dir is full of it when she says they couldn't get a "permit" to fly a drone. The DJI software is very good and has all the FAA restrictions incorporated based on lat/lon. It literally won't take off. This is a distractor from the issue that they didn't have their own drone up.
It doesn't seem like the shooter had an exit plan.
Did he have the AK ? or an AR ?
He used a drone ? and a range finder ?
He entered the area on a bike ?
One thing they COULD have done is get the FAA to put out a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) for Special Use Airspace as being restricted fo 'X' numbers of hours up to 'Y' altitude, and they could've run a drone under their own authority because it becomes literally their air.
From a laymen's perspective this would seem SOP when a VIP of Trumps status is in AO. Iran allegedly had a hit out of Trump so one would think the various agencies would magnify their vigilance and precautions.
On July 16th, the propagandist CNN posted:
Secret Service learned of the increased threat from this threat stream,” the official told CNN. “NSC directly contacted USSS at a senior level to be absolutely sure they continued to track the latest reporting. USSS shared this information with the detail lead, and the Trump campaign was made aware of an evolving threat. In response to the increased threat, Secret Service surged resources and assets for the protection of former President Trump. All of this was in advance of Saturday.
Other propaganda centers such as AP, WaPo, VOA, NPR and NBC made similar claims to CNN's.

Lots of everyday people across the US use Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp, Proton Mail and various VPNs to protect their privacy while on the net. Belgium, New Zealand and Germany are all considered friendly nations.
Plus..
US Taxpayers paid for a monstrous NSA data center in Nevada or Utah which vacuums and stores everything that everyone does on their phone or the connected world. I seem to recall Former CIA Director David Petraeus stating that they can spy on persons through house hold appliances and anything plugged into to a wall outlets. US Taxpayers paid for street lights throughout the US which can listen on in its citizens and traffic cameras that can do all kinds stuff. Many, if not most municipalities across the US have license plate readers that can run a zillion plates in seconds across a database.

Can’t tell what type of rifle it is from the released photo.
Media said it was “ak-47 style” and it had optics.
The shooter’s (don’t know yet if he actually got off any shots) social media had been getting picked apart and screenshotted on twitter before getting shut down.
He apparently supported Trump in 2016, then changed later.
He’s been donating to democrats.
His twitter is completely empty from early June 2020 until November 2021, but was busy both before and after.
Most of his posts look like bot posts.
His twitter appears to be down now.
His Facebook was taken down quickly.
Hardcore supporter of Ukraine.
He traveled to Ukraine, posted some documents regarding someone who served in their foreign legion or whatever it’s called, implying it was him.
He tried to assist displaced Afghans who wanted to fight in Ukraine in getting there.
Convicted of possession of a weapon of mass destruction (machine gun) in Guilford county, NC in 2002, along with carrying a concealed weapon, hit and run, resisting arrest, and others.
Barricaded himself in some sort of standoff with law enforcement.
Sentenced to probation.
Strange background.
Looks like a complete nut job.
Oh yeah, one other thing…his first follow (who also followed him back) on twitter was a former CIA employee named Soo Kim.
This is going to be entertaining.

Concur. Looks like an SKS to me, or some variant thereof. Tough shot on a Par 1, even with optics.
There is a great meme out there that showed six rifles. The first five were AKs, but were labeled as AR-15s. The last was an AR, labeled as an AK.
TRLOL sir. FWIW, I don't think the game was to attempt a 300yd shot through trees that talking heads (who've never shot) call easy with an evil scope on an evil SKS-AR thingy.
Trump would keep playing through on #6 and come to the shooter until he was standing over a putt on the 6th green 30 yds away.

Three foreign, two domestic.
Thought you might enjoy this song dedicated to President Trump. Written by Jon Kahn and Chris Wallin, it is contained in this Gateway Pundit article. Enjoy.

For those who are into this sort of thing, an SKS enthusiast goes into great detail about the rifle possessed by the would-be shooter.
