    In Slovakia a gunmen shot or PM pretty much point blank around 5 times. So they shouldn’t feel too bad.

      Yeah, I think there are a lot of people in this thread who learned about the secret service from Hollywood. They rely a lot on local law enforcement, especially for former-POTUS and for unelected candidates.

      I assume they thought they had visual coverage of the rooftop from the position they used to kill the shooter, and just didn’t see him in time. Fuckup, but hardly monumental or inexcusable.

        I heard/read somewhere they had 5-10 minutes warning after someone reported directly to both police and secret service that they saw the gunman climbing up a building with a gun, so definitely inexcusable.

          I heard/read that Santa is real and that you’re a jackass and I know that one of those are true.

            Weird, all I heard is that you’re a jackass and that you’re a twatwaffle, and I know one of those is true.

            Ah, who’s kidding who? we all know both are true!

              Funny, sounds like you are just proving my point. That shouldn’t just spout out random shit you hear that someone could easily make up because they feel like it

          From what I understand, police were on the rooftop- and fled when the gunman’s rifle was pointed at them.
