Taking a break today to finish some work, but I could not let this one pass up.
and we know how the investigation is going to play out. I am quoting my buddy Bob E’s perfect summation.
You know already how it will play out - - the FBI will conclude that "mistakes were made," but mainly by local PA police, not the SS, and certainly nothing that would affect the DEI director of the SS.
In ‘less civilized” time, the director would been given a sword or a gun with one bullet and try to leave with honor intact. This one will probably leave (maybe) to a cushy corporate job and quiet retirement with a full purse.
I'm not a security professional, nor a firearms expert. But even I know enough to know that you do not leave a prime sniper perch unguarded.
The Secret Service is allegedly in charge of security, with local police serving as their assistants. It follows that ensuring all the significant threats are addressed is the responsibility of the Secret Service. A very basic and utterly obvious way to do that is to put someone on each roof within, say, 1/2 mile of the stage.
The fact that this wasn't done is sufficient cause to fire (a) the person in charge of the event, and (b) the person at the top.
media will bleat false information endlessly, officials will shrug and quote “ongoing investigations “ and say nothing…. Trump is still out there gaining popularity. IF We the People vote in force on every issue we won’t need to push further…. yet
