Rooftop where gunman shot at Trump was identified as a security vulnerability before rally: sources
Two sources told NBC News that the Secret Service flagged a building near the rally site as a security concern. Investigators will be scrutinizing how a gunman was allowed to scale it.
The rooftop where a gunman shot at former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally was identified by the Secret Service as a potential vulnerability in the days before the event, two sources familiar with the agency’s operations told NBC News.
The building, owned by a glass research company, is adjacent to the Butler Farm Show, an outdoor venue in Butler, Pennsylvania. The Secret Service was aware of the risks associated with it, the sources said.
“Someone should have been on the roof or securing the building so no one could get on the roof,” said one of the sources, a former senior Secret Service agent who was familiar with the planning.
There is like literally four fucking rooftops near the vicinity of the stage and you didn't think to secure one of them? Thanks for making Trump a hero mf.
The second worst thing that could have happened is trump not being assassinated.
The worst thing that could have happened is trump almost being assassinated.
The thing that most helped his chances happened. And of course this is a pure coincidence
A successful assassination would've been the worst.
Do you really think if Hitler was assassinated anything changed? Maybe a leader with the same goals but without brain rot would've taken over, and not made critical blunders.
If people wouldn't support Putin, he would be long dead by his closest men.
Republicans would have the same agenda but without the guy blurting it out whenever he can.
The machinery is running and you have to stop the machine, not the messenger.
Lmfao trump ain't no hero. Getting shot at doesn't instantly make you a better person. He was a piece of shit before getting shot at and I'm sure he'll act more of a piece of shit after.
"I like candidates who don't get shot"
He isn't a hero in the literal sense, but he is the person who "people are trying to silence", and who is "fighting the good fight", so people will see him as the hero they need to save the US and this attack legitimised his victimising persona
Has Trump said anything since the shooting? (Other than the announcement he clearly didn't write?)
Normally we can never get the guy to shut up, two full days of silence when he can milk the publicity of this is baffling.
he will be treated like one though
