Secret service says they weren't responsible for the roofs. Insists it was out of their jurisdiction for protection and that it was local law enforcement fault for not securing it (twitter.com)

Your responsible for protecting the president, faggot.

I don't give a fuck who's jurisdiction that was. If that roof isn't fucking occupied then you fucking put someone on it. You do that because your primary responsibility is the president's safety, not maintaining bureaucratic boundaries.

"It's not my job to be on that roof" is over-ridden by "it is my job to protect the president".

If this is the best excuse they can come up with, then a whole swath of the SS needs to be removed.

Not only this but I bet you there is no single document in the secret service catalogue that says the single nearby roof is “out of their range”. Government “diversity” incompetence is no different than malice.

Also someone died over this, they’ve failed to protect the president so badly that it led to an actual civilian death from what I can only describe as the sloppiest assassination attempt I’ve ever seen

The attempt wasn't sloppy; we were millimeters away from a different timeline.

What's sloppy is how no one questioned the kid carrying a 10-foot Home Depot ladder around and chilling on the hot metal roof.

the roof had a a ladder and tons of people pointed him out to authorities who did nothing.

The only way it could have been sloppier is if the shooter fell off the roof and shot himself with his own gun by accident.

They are trying to imply that it is our job to house everyone via government housing aka communism. The opposite of a homeless person is someone with a home. The opposite of an unhoused person is someone who has been housed. It’s the same word games they use to label illegal aliens as “undocumented migrants”, as if the only problem is the lack of paperwork (as opposed to the illegality).

To be fair, weren't most of the homeless people that fall in the category of permanent drug addicts and vagabonds housed in the asylums before they got shut down?

I was recently listening to Barnes about how corrupt Pennsylvania is in general from law enforcement especially their FBI to their Supreme Court so no surprise they'd try this here.

He needs his own in house security team, with proper vetting, I bet there'd be A LOT of veterans that would love to join that then be a part of the current Biden run Military.

They've repeatedly denied him the correct level of security members. Utilizing local uniforms that know the area better is supposed to be benefitial.

I don't think it's an expense that was expected, but I've wondered where all the donations can legally go. I don't believe hiring anyone now would be completely safe though.

To my understanding, the secret service is the lead group in charge, but is expected to (because the secret service just isn't big enough, even without the bs going on) to cover everything, so they use local/state pd to help assist.

They still should have kept someone on those roofs, and/or had local or state up there the whole time. Piss poor planning.

The most dangerous thing about local politics is that corruption is much cheaper. Go to a cop who's got a nasty divorce, a reprimand on his record, maybe a little drinking problem, probably thinking about leaving the force, and give him $5,000 just to not climb up on that literal hot tin room on a sweltering summer day. Voila. There's your security gap.

Ah yes, classic maid "I don't do windows" defense.

We saw the shooter, we watched the shooter, we couldn't take the shot because it's out of our AO and RoE says we give shooters first crack to make sure it's a legit threat.

Why didn't anyone radio a code and cover the President? Get him out of danger?

You're asking too many questions fascist.

This always happens in a shitshow. The incompetents, cowards, and corrupts try to blame everyone else, hoping to hide from their own failings, so they won't get punished. Only the virtuous own up to their failures, and it's usually the only way (in these situations) to figure out who the good people are.

Called it. Women will mindlessly follow the rules without doing any follow up or attempting to accomplish their intended task. All they want to do is offload responsibility to a faceless policy. It's why all the most intractable bureaucrats are women, e.g. usless DMV hags filling out paperwork, etc.

that's literally what they do. I've watched multiple interviews with secret service members in the past where they brag about covering every sniper spot possible.

this was flat land in a rural area with tons of trees. covering sniper spots should have been a no-brainer.

It’s going to turn into the Multiple Spider-Man Finger Pointing meme. The real answer is ALL OF THEM ARE AT FAULT. They are, at best, incompetent or cowardly. At worst, owning a firearm will be 100 times more important now.

When the FBI comes in and takes over an investigation, they assume management as well!

When the Secret Service is on a protection detail, local law reports to the SS. The Secret Service assumes command/management, responsibility.

This excuse does not hold water. If we had a just DOJ or admin, they'd intervene and correct this blatant lie immediately.

I'm just waiting for local cops coming out saying they were told SS were responsible for the roofs.

Both sides being told someone was on the roof, possibly armed, and both assuming people were seeing the other agency.

If they are really lucky and on the ball they will have someone who knows how to handle this sort of PR bullshit and give only enough of an answer to dismiss the retarded claim while also giving the retards enough rope to then hang themselves with further retarded takes down the line. It happens now and again with scandals breaking where claims are put forward but the evidence is held back until after any attempts at denial are made just to hit people with a double-whammy of the initial accusation and then lying about it after.

I know that the Secret Service doesn’t have infinite manpower and that they often fill this gap by coordinating with local agencies to cover things. That said, when such coordination happens, they should be the management and people in charge. I’m willing to believe that it was local PD’s responsibility to have a person on the roof, but I imagine it was also the Secret Service’s responsibility to double check that that was happening.

Literally on the roof or figuratively on the roof, it's the same deal: maybe that was the PD's responsibility and maybe it wasn't, but either way the Secret Service presumably has responsibility somewhere up the chain to make sure it's being done.

That kind of feels like the "That's not my department" for grocery stores when you ask someone who works there a question, now being used for the secret service.

Lady it's less than 150 yards away. If you can explain to me how that's not, it'd be appreciated, or just point me to someone who cares more than you about the job you're supposed to do, because it's obvious you don't.

Pretty sure rooftops have always been number one on their list of things to secure.

It's going to be interesting to see the response from former Secret Service agents and admins that were there pre-DEI/Woke.
