Usually what I hear from the marginally educated is, “Put your John Henry here.”
Playing devils advocate here. Do we really know the rules of engagement here? Can those snipers open fire because a person looks suspicious or dangerous? Of course the situation matters but we don’t allow LEOs to open fire because s/he thinks something is going to happen. It sucks to give the would be assassin the edge here but as a general rule we don’t allow police, SS or other law enforcement to open fire on a hunch.
What I do fault them on is people giving credible warnings and the SS, local LEOs and state police do nothing. Their job, in this situation, is to put the protectee’s life above their own. Another Uvalde I think.
This is (for us) the question!
That building was supposed to be local LEO jurisdiction, so could the rifleman creeping up to the apex of the roof be a LEO counter sniper aware of a threat below you?
Or is he the assassin?
I’m sure there were local police inside the SS perimeter who were armed,…
What does that communication look like?
And how did that guy make it through it!?
New reporting a few minutes ago totally refutes that. Local LEOs (7 from Butler township PD) were tasked only with traffic control.
Butler Commissioner Natali refutes SS lies
Wow,…
Puts more stock in the “stand down” orders if true!
Wait a minute here. A ladder was supposedly use by the gunman to get up there. Why the pluck was it necessary for one cop to use another cop as a stepladder?
This shyte ain’t adding up.
Shocker huh?
News this morning said gunman used an ac unit as his ladder,…
Not really…no. Like I said in another threat; I feel that I’m relieved of my oath because the people I swore it to have no honor nor allegiance to our country.
Edit: gotta add this. The Donald is the first person since Reagan and maybe W Bush that the very top people leading our country is for our country.
William, Maybe it’s been said here before, maybe not.
On day of the Shooting the ‘Patsy’ First bought (50) rounds
at his local Gun Shop. then went to Home D and bought a Ladder
Apparently he then went to the Rallye.
Some say he had a Hyundai, some say a Conversion van.
He was reportedly seen 1/2 hour before the Arcade Festivities.
Blah, blah, blah
NONE OF THIS ADDs UP!
Multiple excuses, convoluted stories, and basically NO ANSWERS.
Reports of a Shooter on the Water Tower
Agents INSIDE the Shooters rooftop paradise.
But no one posted on top of the roof cause it was too dangerous.
The shooter used an A/C unit, No he had a ladder, He was on this building
No he was on another, The Sniper teams 1? 2? There should have been so many
Shooter/Spotter Teams it should have looked like a Hornets nest exploded!
Jill Biden all of a sudden had a Speech @ the same time so they pulled from the Presidents detail? Alarm Bells Folk’s ALL Around. Ding Ding Ding Danger Danger Donald!
A credible threat? An Iranian Hit was scheduled
President Trump should NOT have gone on stage.
He gets winged! Leftist Papers say ‘He did this to himself for Attention!’
Why he leads every new cycle already!
This seems to be an Inside job and they fortunately hired the DEI Keystone Cops!
In closing BELIEVE NO ONE, Pray for Trumps safety an don’t expect the truth from this Lot. Wait (60) minutes and a whole new false theory will turn up.
Hope he holds up well to governmental scrutiny for standing his ground!
The backlash can be brutal. Obviously!
Really, it’s turning into a “who shot Jr.?” fiasco.
Think maybe all of us here should make up the bulk of his security detail.
I’m not cheap, but I can be had!
Hell Brother, I’d do it for FREE!
I don’t need legs, Put me on the ‘Eiger’ Roof slope w/ a Weatherby and Zeiss scope (we can use mine for now) I may not be a Sniper/Marksmen but @ 140 yards I can hit a man size target Every time.
At least I can discern a threat better than these fools.
Someone asked what the ‘Rules of Engagements’ were earlier.
Simple (to me)
I am the outer Perimeter Gatekeeper. Secret Service has the Inner. I see a guy w/ a Rifle (who shouldn’t be there, doesn’t have a radio? He raises his weapon? WEAPON’S FREE!’
IF, you pull a gun, not point a gun, on a cop you can and probably will get shot, many times. SO, this guy had a gun, assuming the SS Snipers saw the gun, so I would expect they could engage simply because he had a gun in his hand and was pointing it in the general direction of a lot of people. But that’s just me.
