The Blame Game Begins

[Hollie]

This event has conspiracy written all over it.

Less conspiracy and more incompetence on the part of the Secret Service. Did the pudgy, female SS agent ever figure out how to holster a firearm?

Who is surprised appointed government agency hacks are incompetent??

They are, but a LOT of us don't think it was "incompetence". Seems more like they saw an opportunity and tried to eliminate Biden's competition

No one I know, especially in a commiecrat regime.

Except in the alternate universe of the Dem / Socialist DIE environment.

This was a fuck up of epic proportions.

 

[my2¢]

It's far too "incompetent" to be a long string of "oversights" and "miscommunications".

Yes it is incompetent, and that incompetency starts with Trump himself. He has held numerous outdoor rallies, yet his campaign has spent far less than others on security.

I definitely see why a failure of this magnitude could be suspected as a conspiracy but:

How in the world would they find a homicidal/suicidal idiot like Crooks?

Crooks must have seen the counter terrorist snipers and knew that he would be killed in seconds. If all he was, was Presidential assassin, he would have stopped firing after the second shot - he would have had enough time to roll down the roof, jump off and make his escape with a still loaded rifle.

From his point of view it must have looked like he had killed Trump. Why didn't he skedaddle?

Instead he stayed where he was and kept firing into the crowd - he was a mass murderer who thought he'd glorify himself by killing Trump as well.

I doubt any "Deep State conspirators" could have found a jerk like this guy.

BTW - Biden has the legal authority to deep six Trump anyway (Thanks SCOTUS!!!). Why would he use an amateur?

Ummm, those three offshore encrypted accounts don't grow on trees, boy.

Too epic to have been a fuck up.

At least on USMB it does.

Perhaps you have hit on Crooks elusive motive for the shooting: magnicide. Making a name for himself by killing a notable person. His computer files reveal that he might have been searching for a victim, as several notable public figures had been the subject of his searches. He may have chosen Trump because of his appearance at a rally so close to his home. He likely remained and continued shooting as the final act of his suicide mission.
