Thanks for the update. It was obvious that the team shown in the media had trouble seeing the shooter.Hard keeping updated on this, but this has new info. It was the 2nd sniper team who engaged the assassin.
Hopefully during the hearings somebody will have the balls to call her a liar to her face.She admitted to a conscious decision to not secure the roof. Her reasoning “we wouldn’t want to put someone on a sloped roof”. We know she is lying because there are pictures of SS snipers on a sloped roof on the building behind the stage. This isn’t incompetence, this is something else. And unfortunately we probably will never know how deep the “something else” goes.
This picture shines a lot different light on the ability of the female agents than the one that endless memes are being created from.Perhaps your talking of a different agent... or a differnt point in time... this one is on top of Trump as the last shots ring out... you can see her head pop up to the left below the lecturn.

Lots went wrong that day... one thing went right... four agents used their bodies as shields... instantly... and until the "shooter down" all clear... two were female.
Odd that some here have such a problem crediting them for doing THAT part of the job right. Hmmm...
That about sums it up.

I don't think they need to pay attention. Its unbelievable how it was handled. Its been almost 50 years, but as an Air man in the Air Force I was involved in Presidential security on 2 occasions and granted I was a nobody just following my orders I seem to remember procedures, building plans sewer and drainage schematics, topography maps, etc. Out to a mile if I remember right. The fact these guys didn't handle 5 rooftops in an open area with a 200 yard radius... I don't want to say what I actually think. This is bad on to many levels.No idea what they will do, but clearly security needs to be modified somehow, now. As was mentioned upstream, much better financed and professionally trained people working for enemies of the USA have been paying close attention.
Ayup...as a young grunt patrolman once I did traffic control while SS guys pulled every manhole cover for several blocks, sewer, water, electrical, you name it. They climbed down, looked around, then marked the covers so that they could return and determine if they'd been moved.I don't think they need to pay attention. Its unbelievable how it was handled.

Even back in 1977, I remember thinking how cool Han was, and what a whiny bitch Luke was.
You should write an exposé book.Back when I was serving on the NRA Board of Directors, there was a group of us that had the opportunity to view the unedited forward looking infrared radar (FLIR) tapes from the Branch Davidian Genocide.
I personally watched as armed individuals (some said FBI, other sources said Army Delta Force), at the rear of the complex where news cameras could not see, rode on the decks of tanks and directed automatic weapons fire into people attempting to flee the burning complex.
I was also there when Colonel Rex Applegate, world renowned expert on riot gear, with whom I had the honor of serving on the NRA Law Enforcement Committee, identified two empty 37mm cartridge cases that had been photographed by the Texas Rangers after being recovered from the rubble. They were from the incendiary rounds that the FBI had fired into the complex to start the fire. He referred to them as "black contract" items, purchased under the table, since no domestic law enforcement agency could possibly justify having munitions for starting fires.
Congress "investigated" the debacle. They saw and heard everything that my fellow directors did.
Remember what Congress did, who they held responsible, for a deliberate, premeditated act of mass murder against a harmless group of psalm-singing religious nuts, an act committed in front of the entire world?
My expectations are not high.
Going to be lot of conjecture about this event, the conspiracies are already starting. Imagine, 8 years of calling Trump Hitler, and they're confused about motives. It's the "by any means necessary" crowd who mutters out loud that "they're sorry he missed."
