Ex-CIA Analyst: Why Did Secret Service Not Engage Trump Gunman Earlier?
Sources told NBC News that the Secret Service was aware of the risks associated with the building
Larry Johnson, the former CIA analyst, told Judge Andrew Napolitano’s podcast on Monday that the Secret Service counter-snipers who killed the would-be Donald Trump assassin could not have responded as quickly as they did without having already known that the threat was there.

Johnson said if you look at the video showing the two counter-snipers positioned on the roof, one looks through his scope and then raises his head to look downrange to get a full picture. (He said the sniper scope would likely have been focused tightly on the subject where you’d only make out his mouth.)

“So he's wanting to make sure he's on target, and then all of a sudden, they [the agents] hear the shots and they fire. There's no way that you could hear shots and then try to get on a scope to find and locate it and get shots off in the time they did unless they already had him targeted. They knew he was there, and so the question is why did the person in charge of Secret Service that day not allow action to be taken against what was clearly a threat?”
Sources told NBC News that the Secret Service was aware of the risks associated with the building, owned by a glass research company in Butler, Pa.
“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.
DEI Secret Service
Amazing how someone filmed - with their phone - the assassin crawling on the roof and getting in position. We even heard people were wondering what he was doing, whether he was not a threat, etc.
The roof was designated a security concern. So why were not two or three law-enforcement people posted there ? It was "outside of the perimeter". What ? Never heard of snipers ? Local law-enforcement was responsible for this security risk (says the Secret Service), no, the Secret Service was (says local law enforcement), so in the end nobody was.
The world looks on and the US stumbles in full sight - again. Keystone Cops.

The shooter was, as usual, a lonely boy. No friends, no girlfriend, endlessly bullied in school. Schools should do better in ID'ing lonely & bullied students. They are probably the ones that give the least trouble so these boys (and girls) are easily overlooked. But the hurt and the anger is building inside and one day they decide to show the world who they are. What they are able to do. Then a number of fellow students, or a number of school-children, will never come home again.
Each time we watch the carnage and say "this should not be happening." But it does. Yet parents continue to buy weapons and ammunition for their immature children. What are they thinking ? Are they thinking at all ?
