That's clearly not happening.
As somebody who's trained, what did you think when you saw one of the Secret Service agents up on that detail that couldn't holster a weapon after three attempts?
Honestly, I don't care what the sex is, man.
I really don't.
But at the same time, does that look like somebody who's well-trained to you?
So, you know, maybe they'reβ And I know they play by different roles because I've talked to other Secret Service agents because of the political ramifications of it.
like i've been told that you know these advances can come back with the recommendation that hey let's not hold this rally here but even then it's up to the campaign so you know if a campaign decides hey we're gonna hold a rally here regardless um you know of what your recommendation was you know they're gonna hold the rally there and so that was one of my issues when i went to butler and uh
I was looking at how many threats there were on that site, how many rooftops, how many windows, how many trees.
There were a lot of trees that somebody could have easily gotten up into and made like a hide site deer stand.
And there were way too many threats for the amount of security they had to cover down on.
And so that's another thing that we got to get smarter on.
Way too many avenues to cover with the guns that you have.
Well, the other thing too, Sean, is that when you... My perspective and what I know now, and obviously this is a fresh story because it just happened yesterday, but...
When I look at the pictures of his hide site, you know, if that's what it β or his final firing position as we would call it, you know, one of the things I noticed based on this story that I'm hearing is that he was spotted because he put the barrel of his gun through the fence, right?
Behind me, you have a picture of a legit β
you know sniper team on a rooftop and it looks like somebody blew a loophole or a hole in the wall which you know most snipers want to use they want to be as far back from you know the actual hole they're going to be shooting at and so i was looking at it and like
Secret Service, in my opinion, got lucky again because this guy wasn't trained.
I could tell by if he was trained, he would have had a pair of $20 bolt cutters with him.
He would have cut out his loophole or hisβ¦
line of sight through that fence, and then he would have pushed back into the shady leaves so that he couldn't have been seen, right?
