    The Secret Service does their job, and what does the is guy do? Screw them over. Not a lot friends, this guy, eh?

      They failed to secure the location, leaving an optimal sniper location 150 yards from the president unguarded and completely unwatched. After the attempt, they let the apparently wounded target of the assassination stand up, fist raised, for a photo op while there could still have been other shooters present. The only thing that kept Trump alive is that people watching the speech saw the sniper on the roof and eventually got a cop to got check. That cop’s appearance seemingly rushed the sniper and likely caused him to miss his shot.

      Summary: They did not do their jobs.

      They completely failed at their job. They were simply lucky that this was seemingly the one American student who couldn’t shoot straight.

        Ignorant comment most people in the U. S have never even held a gun.

        Honestly, guns are not an issue at all now. Trump made sure that argument went to bed
