      What I mean is it provides no new information. It just poses a series of questions from a so called news channel this is very poor. If you watch task and purpose analysis you will may see what I mean. It adds nothing new to the whole issue. If that had of frame it in the way of no answers but didn't ask such leading/misleading questions and and stick to the known facts and left out the speculation. It would have been ok.

    You missed Teddy Roosevelt, the one with the most similar situation. He got shot while giving a speech on the campaign trail as a former president trying to get reelected. Also, they both had very minor wounds from it.

      Except Teddy was shot in the chest before his speech started and he went on to give a 3 hour speech before going to the hospital. Imagine having a president that bad ass now? He challenged visiting dignitaries to (friendly) boxing matches and wrestling matches at the Whitehouse. Imagine a president saying to Putin, "Let's go to the basement and settle this like men." lol

      i remember one protestor saying "hey what the hell are you doing?" afterwards the secret service tried to accuse the protestor he was breaching into the white house..
      also remember when the secret service let every protestor go through and even wave hello and afterwards they try to spin the truth saying there were beasts trying to destroy the white house??

    3:16 "Very, very good aim" LOL. I love when European civilians share their "expert" opinions on shooting. He fired 8 times from a prone position at 150 yards with a DPMS-brand AR and only came close with once, this is awful. If you can't consistently hit a man sized target at 200 yards with a rifle, you have no business in competition shooting.
    Hell, the last 2 gun competition I watched had 6 inch circles at 200 yards after a 100 yard sprint. Firing prone and rested is a hell of a lot easier than in a standing position while you are sucking down air.

      No joke; hitting a functionally completely stationary, man-sized target, from the prone, with a rifle, at 150m, really is not very difficult. 1 "functional hit" out of 8 shots is awful; with that said, accuracy in stressful/combat environments plummets quite precipitously, and I imagine he likely felt a good bit of pressure while shooting.

      The assassin was a loser probably looking to be famous. He didn't really have any friends, and wasn't there.
      And the secret service just were incompetent. No conspiracy is needed. Trump lived, because they were ontop of him, which forced the lunatic to fire quickly, and Trump moved his head.

      I disagree. I think they still leaned on poor leadership but to dismiss conspiracy at this stage would be foolish.

The truth is, though, that conspiracies are real and common in many countries. We’ve been fortunate but if we are foolish enough to believe ourselves immune, we will fall.
      Like they say, very likely that this was piss poor leadership, but the evidence is certainly not there to allay the doubts

    I wouldn't put doubts on him being a terrible shot. We don't know if what hit his ear was a bullet or a piece of shrapnel resulting from the bullet hitting something else. And even if it really was the whole bullet itself, it doesn't prove anything about the shooter's skill level. Even a terrible shot can be lucky sometimes. All of the follow up shots all missed as well which further supports the hypothesis that he wasn't really skilled or experienced. It sounded like he panicked after he saw that he missed and tried to shoot again and again without taking proper aim, which would absolutely be something an amateur would do.

    I think the problem is that they could not believe there would be a shooter; there never was in their whole career. They assumed the shooter was one of them.

    A hot slanted roof is the kind of innocuous reason that makes total sense to me. It’s why everyone on the ground also dropped the ball when there was someone clearly up there. Expecting someone to be up there from the secret service so didn’t act. I mean the guys actually said it out loud. It’s just unfortunate that that was the day someone was there to take advantage. Quite boringly they just need better coordination.

  • @Tank50us
    @Tank50us 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

    A couple things of note:
    1. Actually getting a gun legally varies from state to state, and some states do make it unnecessarily difficult.
    2. The investigation needs to look into the medias role in all of this. On the surface, some might question that very statement. However, something to remember with the media lately, is that they've spent the better part of the last 8 years telling people how much of a "threat: Trump is. No matter someone's political leanings, it may spern someone to do something incredibly stupid (and they're back to doing it mere weeks after the attack).
    3. Some of the confusion from the Secret Service can be attributed to a lack of coordination of who's where. A viable solution to this would be introduce a "Blue Force Tracking" system to Law Enforcement that can greatly enhance their capabilities, response times, and even offer real time position data. Had such a system existed, the Secret Service may have been able to act sooner.
    Finally 4: The idea of hiring those who aren't fit for the job needs to go. This whole "Diversity" nonsense needs to end, especially in fields such as Presidential Security. If people can't do it, they don't get the job. Period.

    If it looks like a dog, walks like a dog and barks like a dog, then it's a dog. Incredible inefficiency on 'imagination' and actions for an organization whose sole purpose is to imagine and act preventively on all possible dangerous scenarios yet incredible 'efficiency' in killing the suspect on the spot in a second, as if they were expecting to do so, whether he was successful or not. Who knows what that co-opted young moron could've told about why he do it or who 'secretly' contacted and coached him about the whole event, 'for a higher purpose'. The local cops possibly feigning ignorance and only 'acting out' when the common people shouted their lungs out about the suspect, as if 'forced by circumstance rather than by duty' is a harrowing perspective. No system in place to stop the event at the first sign of a serious alarm, like people crying out? Really?
    Could it be a DEI disaster? The problem with the DEI theory is that, even if YES, DEI is the most stupid ideological stench that you could impose on any enterprise, replacing merit with 'diversity' (and so on and on) that takes quite a long time to sit for this level of incompetence (that is, DEI hires will shine in the years to come rather than as an immediate result).

    I'm not that surprised there was a gap in security due to some miscommunication,... what I find really weird about this is how someone ended up at just the right time and place to exploit it.
    Are there people at every or at least most rallies, looking for any kind of lapse in security like this one, just waiting to pounce on it? Doing things like observing sites with drones, having weapons nearby, but never getting caught? And that ensures EVERY gap in secret service protection is likely to be exploited?
    Or did the shooter just show up at a random rally, looked around for an exploitable weakness, easily found one and went for it?
    If so, was it just an incredible coincidence that he did so at precisely the rally with the rare weakness, or are such lapses just so common that if at any given time someone actually looks for one, they're likely to find it?
    Or, did the shooter have some kind of insider information ahead of time, that the roof will be empty, even though it was supposed to have snipers on it.
