Nearly 48 hours after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, investigators are struck by the lack of leads they’re finding about Thomas Matthew Crooks’ mindset and possible motives for his attack.
There was a guy on the radio the other day who had been part of Bush’s protective detail and talked about how the SS usually did ‘close protection’ meaning the guys around Trump and the stage and extended threat like the snipers we saw who would be aiming much further out. He said that the close-to-middle-distance that the shooter was in was usually designated to local police to secure.
If that’s the case, then it’s even more unsurprising that the cops half-arsed it and reacted way too late.
It’s like the Mythbusters episode where they tested climbing ducts with magnets and there was a shot of Adam standing there as you heard bang bang bang from the ducts and he was like “I think somebody is trying to break into my building” except that the cops weren’t smart enough to figure that out.

Not to defend cops but they have a solid argument of “thanks to the gun laws in PA he didn’t do anything illegal until he pulled the trigger”
I can’t admire the president’s visage through this rifle scope? I’m sorry, I thought this was AMERICA!
Crawling around on barn roofs with an ar-15 is basically the national pass time of that particularly blighted part of the country.

Perfect.
