    That’s most industries. Society is falling apart lol. Look how the secret service responded to an assassination attempt on trump. It was absolutely pathetic. These people are supposed to be the best of the best of the best. It doesn’t surprise me that other industries are also experiencing this.

      I’m still thinking they send the “barely qualified” secret servicemen to protect Trump

      it was perfectly fine??? They shot and killed the guy within like 3 seconds of the event happening???

      Sure it’s weird that he was up there, but i’m not sure that’s a failing of SS specifically, but they certainly did their job in regards to neutralizing the threat.

      Also trump isn’t even the current president, so it’s not like he’s going to get all the coverage in the world.

        The fact he even got shots off while laying on literally one of the only spots a sniper could get a shot off is absolutely bad enough. They should have had minimum one sniper looking at that roof constantly. That’s like step one.

          i believe they did, though it’s worth noting, you’re constantly scanning rooftops as a sniper, so there’s always going to be a small amount of time before targeting and shooting.

          I’ve heard, havent verified but apparently local police were working the grounds and apparently maybe that roof? So it might have been their responsibility entirely. I’m guessing the kid only peaked the roof shortly before shooting though, that’s the only way he would’ve gotten a shot off.

      I don’t see how the secret service is relevant to this in literally any way.

          Apon rereading, your comment isn’t any more coherent. It’s like a vague “what is this world coming to?!”, drawing disparate concepts together as if they form some grand pattern, but there’s nothing there.
