Just days after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, theories are flying from all directions. Many who ridiculed the “conspiracy theories” of conservatives are now suggesting the whole event was a set-up to boost Trump in the polls ahead of the election. Others suggest it was the “deep state” or even foreign actors who organized it.
Former US Navy Seal and founder of Blackwater, Erik Prince, claims that “The fact that [the Secret Service] allowed a rifle armed shooter within 150 yds to a preplanned event is either malice or massive incompetence.” He went on to observe that, “unaccountable bloated bureaucracies continue to fail us as Americans,” adding that “unserious and unworthy people in positions of authority got us to this near disaster. Merit and execution must be the only deciding factors in hiring and leadership, not the social engineering priority of the day.”
Video has emerged showing that for at least two minutes law enforcement knew someone with a gun was on a roof aiming at the former President and no one communicated the need to pull Trump from the stage. You can clearly hear the crowd warning law enforcement that someone was on the roof. Yet he was unhindered until the first shots rang out.
Considering this fact, Erik Prince has a point.
If this is like any previous governmental foul-ups, we can expect hearings, investigations, and commissions that will actually serve to hide the official errors or even malicious intent by some in the government. That’s what government does no matter who is in office: protect itself from actual scrutiny and resist being exposed as incompetent or worse.
But what if there was a genuine investigation that actually revealed the truth about what happened at the Trump rally over the weekend? Could we rely on the mainstream media to even report it? This is the same media that, after Trump was clearly shot on live television, reported “Trump escorted away after loud noises at PA rally.” (Washington Post). And “Secret Service rushes Trump offstage after he falls at rally.” (CNN).
This is the same mainstream media that has been comparing Donald Trump to Hitler for years, and now pretends to be shocked that their vile rhetoric ended up in violence. There is a good reason why the mainstream media is regarded by the American public with record levels of contempt.
I can’t see a conspiracy unless they find more than one shooter. Hopefully, some of the bullets from the assassin’s rifle can be found and matched (or mismatched) with Crook’s rifle. But, this kid doesn’t look like the person a conspiracy would place their confidence in and thinking this happened (and was allowed to happen) by pure fate is a long shot.
With the failures it seems the attitude was well if it happens it happens.
No riots no cities burning cause we are not dumb animals.
It is truly amazing how this kid a very few years earlier couldn’t hit a target either 50′ or 50 yds (accounts vary) but managed to hit a wall 21′ on the other side of the range, is now capable of moderately accurate shots from 140 yards. How often did he practice with daddies rifle? Where did he get the ammo? Where did he practice? Who gave him lessons or did he pick it all up off of YouTube? I’m sorry but something stinks worse than Porcine poop.

People ought to be held responsible for these shortcomings, but what with the biden doj in charge, they won’t be.
And, from the looks of the structure, it is metal with a metal roof. Anything moving on the roof would make a noticeable amount of noise. There needs to be a non-congressional investigation, independent of the ability to provide a coverup.
This guy nails it.

Libera Demon-Rats beating out their Brains over this whole thing
A 20 year old kid walked across an open field with a rifle and a ladder in plain view and climbed on to the only unsecured roof in the area and was there for 30 minutes before he opened fire. The USSS knew he was up there. There are only three explanations:
The fact that they are standing by their “man” (Biden referred to Cheatle as ‘him”) means they are fine with the way everything unfolded meaning they endorse the assassination attempt. If they didn’t, Cheatle would have been fired by now.
The Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden regime can simply never, under any circumstances, tell the truth.
