JESSE WATTERS: All Americans should be skeptical of what they hear
2024-07-16
[FoxNews] Lots of good questions starting at about 2:50 in the video.

Suspecious guy on a rooftop spotted by rally goers for 20 minues? Cop climbs up on roof but backed down when shooter points his gun at him? Police sniper has shooter in his sights and Trump STILL permitted to speak? WTF ? Very bad smell.

#8   it the PA diversion of Secret Service resources could have been a planned event.

I imagine it was intended by the White House that Dr. Jill’s rally would take significant attention away from President Trump’s rally. That Trump got only the ragtag spare agents was probably intended to be yet another insult and a way to handicap the Trump organization.

If they did not realize that the consequences were likely to be deadly, then they were not competent to do their jobs.

#5  Grasping at straws-pathetic to assert such nonsense. The real screw-up is the last-minute patchwork team assembled to cover the diversion of ample resources from the Pittsburgh Office to cover the regal visitation of the Shadow President, Dr. Jill. Short-handed, they relied far too much on local, rural LE who were not experienced in this level of security operations.

#4  Given that roofs are commonly found on the tops of buildings and that roofs tend to have a bit of pitch, maybe the Secret Service should be hiring roofers instead of girls.

tl;dr: the roof slope excuse is BS.
As Solzhenitsyn put it:
We know they are lying.
They know they are lying.
They know we know they are lying.
We know they know we know they are lying.
But they are still lying.

#3  In fact it looks like a very gentle slope and I notice the roofs where the police snipers were stationed were also gently sloped.

#2   ^ That roof doesn't look all that sloped to me.
