Two sources told NBC News that the Secret Service flagged a building near the rally site as a security concern. Investigators will be scrutinizing how a gunman was allowed to scale it.
The rooftop where a gunman shot at former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally was identified by the Secret Service as a potential vulnerability in the days before the event, two sources familiar with the agency’s operations told NBC News.
The building, owned by a glass research company, is adjacent to the Butler Farm Show, an outdoor venue in Butler, Pennsylvania. The Secret Service was aware of the risks associated with it, the sources said.
“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 who was familiar with the planning.
There is like literally four fucking rooftops near the vicinity of the stage and you didn’t think to secure one of them? Thanks for making Trump a hero mf.
Lmfao trump ain’t no hero. Getting shot at doesn’t instantly make you a better person. He was a piece of shit before getting shot at and I’m sure he’ll act more of a piece of shit after.
He isn’t a hero in the literal sense, but he is the person who “people are trying to silence”, and who is “fighting the good fight”, so people will see him as the hero they need to save the US and this attack legitimised his victimising persona
he will be treated like one though
Yeah, by morons that already treated him like a hero.
and by the people in the fence who have republican tendencies who were not planning to vote before but will now
Uh oh. The SS better stage another quick phone upgrade so they can accidentally lose all the evidence again.
The target is an ongoing security threat, too
Handrail looks like dude is defending the president with a vacuum.
Interesting. Welp nothing to see here
Yet nobody was posted there…curious. They really staged it for the photo op.
