skye, don't say such stupid things.

Trump must take so much care this time...in every way possible.

DC Draino is right.

 

[Mac-7]

Already discussed.

A local cop responded to what those people saw… confronted the shooter and withdrew without sounding an alarm

You assume he didnt radio in

Based on what?

If he had they would have tackled Trump immediately and shut things down

And there were no reports that he did

You are just guessing

We need an independent prosecutor

That is how the secret service reacts.

And again… there are no reports that he radioed anything

[Mac-7]

Ok

Probably somewhere between that and the know-it-all you see yourself as

 

[Lesh]

You carry your ignorance like a badge of honor.

If you know nothing say nothing

If the FBI sniper was in a position to take out the assassin why did he get several shots off? Why could the spectators see the guy but the Secret Service and the FBI couldn't? With all the technology available to the FBI why can't they get into the guy's cell phone? Maybe they want to erase stuff.

They had time for the assassin to turn and point a rifle at law enforcement before turning back and firing off several rounds at Trump and the crowd. Was the SS sniper team sniping while texting or something WTF?

The counter sniper was using a proper sniper rifle, something on the order of a Remington 700 BDL, that can shoot half dollar sized groups at three hundred yards consistently. He also trains to make those shots on a daily or at worst, weekly basis. The assassin was apparently using a box-stock AR with iron sights. On a range with no stress, a head shot at a hundred thirty yards is a clout shot. In the real world with adrenaline pumping, wind direction to consider and shooting a light 55 grain .223 bullet, it’s not an easy shot to make. No one would try to hit an ear considering that a one inch deviation would be lethal to Trump.

The kid might have gotten lucky in being able to penetrate the guard cordon, but the building should have been guarded. I won’t attribute this to enemy action, but it sure makes the Secret Service and local LEOs look incompetent, especially when you compare their post-shoot actions with the team covering Reagan when he was shot.

~~~~~~
The shot could have been made using iron sights as well.
A commercially available 3X9 scope manufactured in China for as little as $32.00 can do the job.

 

[skye]

So very true.

 

[skye]

Totally predictable!
