A Conspiracy of Incompetence?
On July 6,
it was announced that Donald Trump would hold a rally in Butler Pa. That would give a 20-year-old probably
depressed loner kid 7 days to plan an assassination.
This kid
(baby by today’s standards) lived an hour away.
Did he know the area where Trump would appear? Did he know what buildings or high points
would be available to assume a shooting position? Did he have any idea that such a spot would
not be covered by secret service?
Highly
unlikely. More than unlikely,
outrageously unlikely.
Did this kid
make that hour trip and do surveillance of the site days before?
How did this
kid get anywhere near the rally carrying a rifle?
How did he
manage to climb onto the roof unnoticed with a rifle? This kid was not an athlete, I don’t see him
shinning up a drainpipe with a rifle over his shoulder and not being suspicious.
Apparently,
there was a ladder nearby. Oh, that
makes…WAIT WHAT? So not only was this vantage point for a kill shot not
monitored closely, there was a ladder left for easy access!
I am not suspicious
of any organized or planned conspiracy to murder Ex-President Trump, but
clearly there was mass incompetence somewhere down the security line.
Was it
pure incompetence, or was it passive incompetence because some “lone wolf” security
person or group decided,
“Hey, if
he’s shot, he’s shot!” and practiced extreme relaxed due-diligence.
Did this kid
just show up early, see the roof with a direct line, and plant a rifle ahead of
time. (I believe he was seen wandering
around the grounds sans gun) Did he then use the ladder and climb the roof to
shoot Trump?
Was it
simply a crime or opportunity?
Did this kid
think, “Let me show up with a rifle and if somehow I get a chance to kill
Trump, I’m going to go for it.”
What did he
have to lose, clearly this was a “suicide by cop” scenario.
The only
thing more amazing than the shot missing it’s mark, is that the shot was
allowed to made in the first place.
I wonder if
we will get any real answers.
Grassy
knoll? Move on, nothing to see here.
The FBI has taken over the case so you're right there....lone gunman, nothing to see here.
ReplyDeleteIt will surely be nothing to see here. We have our opinions here. Politics is such a dirty business.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week, Joe. ☺
Instead of praising the secret service for protecting Trump after the shooting, I would have been more impressed if they had prevented the whole tragic mess. A man died! Breaks my heart. Not to mention the trauma felt by all those who witnessed it.
ReplyDeleteSomeone was totally off their game. I doubt we’ll get answers that will satisfy our questions.
Seems every week, we hit another “historic” event. Unreal.
Biden can falls asleep in the middle of the road and I'd still vote for his administration over this #$@!
ReplyDeletewhen look at the candidate who was supposed to be shot by the kid it reminds me many movies in which such fake attacks are planned for cheap gain of empathy i guess though i know i am far from smart this is what i feel because whole situation sounds so stupid
ReplyDeleteA fake attack that took off a mans ear and killed a spectator and injured two others seriously? And then the "Fake Attacker" has his head blown off? Maybe...except no! This was not a movie.
DeleteI know who I'm voting for in November and in the meantime I'm just hoping nobody gets killed or blown up or that a war breaks out.
ReplyDeleteI don't know anything about security protocols, but even I would have had that roof secured, with members of the security team on it. They can put snipers on other buildings, but nobody on this one that is also within shooting range? I am equally surprised that a 20 year old would make the effort and follow through. Kids these days seem to lack motivation!
ReplyDeleteIt's all suspicious, and as with so many things, we'll never know "the rest of the story," just what they want to let us know.
ReplyDeleteIncompetence. A terrible tragedy that should never happened.
