Incompetence or intentional?
I do not see how the lead up to the attempted assassination and the murder of Corey Comperatoreis anything but intentional.

So we have this 20 year old walking around that building with a rangefinder and the security team takes pictures? Are you kidding me? The Keystone Kops would have stopped that kid right there. They seen this kid 3 times roaming about that building. The LEO’s were INSIDE the building. WTH were they drinking beer, doing lines of coke? We now know the DEI hire of Jill Biden to run the Secret Service deciding the sloped roof was too dangerous for the LEO’s.
WE do not have the best - nowhere near that. WE have bottom f the barrel people running things. Harsh? maybe but this is ridiculous. We hear a lot of blabbering when these politicians talk of LEO, SS and FBI that they are best of the best. So a 20 year old out smarted them?
Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle said in an interview that aired Tuesday morning that a sloped roof used by the gunman who attempted an assassination of former President Trump last weekend at a rally had “safety factor” considerations.
“That building in particular has a sloped roof, at its highest point,” Cheatle said in an interview that aired on ABC’s “Good Morning America” Tuesday morning to the outlet’s Pierre Thomas. “And so, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof. And so, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside.”
Okay I’m just going to ask/say it. What kind of pansies are these Secret Service people and local tactical teams that that roof was too steep? Cheatle should have been fired 10 seconds after saying that. That whole detail team and every LEO associated with this should be fired. Some one in that group should have said OH bull stuff we are not a bunch of pansies and disobeyed the order. I’ve shingled roofs steeper and higher up and I do not do roofing professionally nor am I a highly trained sniper or LEO. If these people are afraid of heights and steep roofs then they have no business with any type of fire arm, not even a cork gun- they might shoot their eye out. Also please drive a car as a SUV sets too high in the air.
Now lets look at the ballistics of an AR-15 and what every 13 year old deer hunter knows.
https://thegunzone.com/how-accurate-is-an-ar-15-at-100-yards/
An AR-15 is generally considered to be accurate within a 2-3 MOA (minute of angle) at 100 yards, meaning it is capable of consistently hitting a target within a 2-3-inch diameter circle at that distance.
WE all know 100 yards is 300 feet, this murderer was 400 feet away on a roof top. Most deer hunters sight their rifles in at 100 yards, why? Well for the most part that about the range you will see most deer. If closer the bullet may be a 2-3 MOA same with 150 and 200 yards. At 100 yards you can successfully make a decent shot at 50 and at 200 yards.
Now if a 13 year old deer hunter knows this how does Secret Service, FBI or local tactical teams not? Maybe we shuold have 13 year olds training these government people. I’ll even bet many of these 13 years olds climb a tree stand also and would be happy to teach the Secret Service their fearless techniques for climbing a tree stand. Once you go up one of those these high buildings should be easy peazy.
The bullet drop in that extra 100 feet is near ZERO!
Put a scope with windage and drop intergrated and 400 feet may as well be within 3 feet . This is NOT difficult or extreme math it can all be found in seconds on the internet or old ballistic books. Maybe someone could let Cheatle know of this new fangled thing called the internet and all the data available or maybe throw her a reloading book or ballistics charts.
Why on earth would anyone that knows the ballistics of any rifle not put a man on nearly every roof top for at least 500 yards if not 1000 yards?
Step up to a larger rifle like the 308/7.62 or the 30.06 and 500-1000 yards are realistic with practice. The .224 valkrie is a spit fire that has capability 700-80 yards.
To think that these people thought people inside a building instead of a roof top at 130 yards - 390 feet was the way to go and now to justify it strain credibility. They are ALL idiots and should not be even protecting the local donut shop.
Their is too much here that is wrong to be incompetence.
