Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
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.
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.
Roof of a barn filled with cops
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.
Perfect.
Are you?
