It was a reasonable shot for the gear but the stress is what brings the question mark.
Shooting under stress destroys most peoples performance, a small minority get a bump up.
Yes I agree

just so hard to believe that a day of one-off incompetence met an independent assassin who was himself incompetent in every way but getting a shot on Trumps head.
And that if the stand down was arranged, they'd put all their eggs in this one kid's basket.

Thanks guys!
The assassination that started. World War I was a comedy of errors and coincidences. So there is historical precedent maybe.
But another thing that keeps coming to mind for me is thinking about other crimes from the past and governments using great volumes of lies as a distraction

Or maybe. Just maybe, every one of his events has basically been handled this way and this was the first time you've heard about it because this was the one with a gunman on the roof

Don't forget, Lincoln got shot in the hat in '64.
…Garfield
…McKinley
…Kennedy
I guess a 40 year stint isn't too bad.
'It was unforeseeable' was also a popular talking point after 9-11.

Who said this is the only day of incompetence by USSS? I would bet you that if you went back through videos of other events you'll find openings that some other deranged incel could have taken advantage of

There was no Secret Service when Lincoln was alive. Lincoln signed the bill to create the Secret Service on April 14th, 1865, then went to Ford's Theater where he was shot by JWB later that day.
But the USSS was created to protect money and investigate counterfeits, not protect the president and other dignitaries.

Almost miraculous how every single thing lined up perfectly for Trump to be killed by some trashy incel loser. He shouldn't have turned his head….he should be dead. And this nation should be chaotic as all get out right now. It's genuinely disturbing to imagine how things would be had we seen an explosion of pink mist, followed by his limp collapse. But PROVIDENCE won out.
So hard to believe everything was just luck/coincidence for the shooter. No semi reasonable person would ever think they could possibly pull that off. But he DID pull it off…got the perfect head shot, but for a timely head turn. It's still hard for me to process to this day.

Trump will fix it.
No conspiracies but calling him a white extremist is all good. There is nothing connecting this shooter to white extremism. None. Using that terminology is pure trolling
The stat will be white guy with an assault rifle just like don lemon for example warned us about. "stupid magas, they almost had their hero killed by their own sacred gun.
And to tell you how little I trust anyone, even Trump might say one day "I was almost killed by one of those things."

How'd that turn out though? US Dollar doing okay?
I thought Andrews's Raiders (fail!) were also secret service, but apparently before Lincoln created the USSS as a branch of the treasury "secret service" just meant "spy".

You get a general sense that the USSS looked down on the local cops from Butler.
You sense an aire of superiority from them. Like they weren't equals and weren't a vital competent of the security detail.
'We do this day-in-day out ... do your traffic detail and stay the hell out of the way.'
'And by all means don't muck up our comms channels ... in fact, we aint even giving you direct access. You need something call ops and we the deciders of whether it's relevant'
Thats the sense that you get. USSS looked down on these people and they also were probably peved that they working a Trump detail on a Saturday. Ruined their weekend plans on account of Trump and his rally.
After all that, when **** go south all of a sudden it's the local yokels that dropped the ball.
No wonder they out on tv trying to save face. Don't blame 'em.

Personally, I don't have a reason to disbelieve them...especially, speaking in unison as a group. If the SS rebutts their claim...all the more reason to believe the locals IMHO. Local authorities don't have nearly as much experience in CYA.Stat Monitor Repairman said:

Which is funny after it appears they were using scabs from other agencies that can't operate holsters.

We 2-weeks out now and this story is pretty much out of the news cycle.
People taking about it. But overall the story has died down. The average person is indifferent on knowing what happened.
As big of a story the Trump shooting was, it got swallowed up by Kamala and Biden's resignation.
The story ran its course over the past 2-weeks and we got on the backside of it pretty fast is the point.

Just because mainstream media doesn't talk about it does not mean people are apathetic to it.

There's not really much else major to know at this point about what happened. Crazy loner kid took advantage of extremely poor planning and a disorganized and complacent security team and got a shot off at Trump. More will come with the eventual Secret Service report about their failures but once most of the details settled I think most people have started to pay less attention and get back to their regular lives.
