I'm team trump, but you have to realize there a bunch of different agencies involved. Things are also happening really fast, there are a ton of people there, and it's very loud. Probably a miscommunication, but that sniper did his job and smoked the target


There have been several people interviewed that said they were warning law enforcment about him being on the roof at least a minute and half before it happened. Bad communication all around if true.

This is obviously a complete failure on the part of any and everyone involved in security for this event. Not only did a former president and current candidate get shot, but multiple attendees.

No doubt there was bad communication. I'm not buying into the set up/conspiracy theories, though.

FWIW you need to watch more angles. Those two regain their lock on him and kill him seconds after the 3rd shot.
Watch this whole clip and you can see the crowd looking at the snipers and cheering.
Twitter video that focuses on snipers Agee after the shooting

I'd guess that almost every rally Trump does there are people pointing suspicious but harmless things.

The Leos were probably thinking it was some liquored up idiot who thought he could get a better view if he climbed up on the roof.

SS should have cleared EVERY building and had people stationed on every roof within a 1 mile radius. This has FBI and CIA written all over it.

Let's assume the conspiracy theories are true and it was a set up. How fricking stupid would it be to assassinate Trump? Any candidate that runs in his place is going to smoke the dems.

And if you miss, you now make it nearly impossible to beat Trump. Which is the situation we're now in. He's going to be our next president

That video looks like it shows the attendee that was killed. A guy in a white shirt below the screen displaying the chart drops a lot faster than the rest of the crowd.

Shot a guy in the back of the head in the crowd that was facing Trump.

That's a manpower problem, particularly with as many events as Trump attends. You can do a set piece rally where the advance party spends a week on site setting everything up like they do for POTUS, but that means Trump has to scale back on his campaign schedule.

Tell me you’ve never had any long range shooting experience without telling me. Jeez, the armchair tactics experts are out in full force today.

Conspiracy theorists have a pretty good track record as of late. Put me down as a conspiracy theorist that thinks something sinister was going on during a failed assassination attempt of what should’ve been the current president.

I think that you are correct. I didn't realize it until you pointed it out

Which SS guy do yall think pulled the trigger in that video? Im just seeing both guys recoil at the first shot. Guy on the right seems to hide behind the roof and the guy on the left moves his tripod over when he recovers from his initial reaction. I’m not seeing where they clearly shot in that video

I was thinking the same. I must be missing something, I don’t see any indications that either of them fired.

Which is actually pretty badass that he was able to locate the shooter and take him out in that fast amount of time.


Looking up, adjusting, and then taking him out THAT fast is insanely impressive. Dude has ice water in his veins.
