    Why the hell didn't the Secret Service have rooftops covered ahead of time? Democrats have been openly threatening to assassinate Trump. If someone could get on top of a nearby roof with a rifle, it's hard to believe that the Secret Service wasn't involved.


    Candace plays a couple of good interviews here, with one guy who saw the shooter on the roof, with the gun, before the shooting and tried to get someone's attention, but no one would listen, as well as a doctor who tried to save the life of the attendee who died.

    Good question.

    I would think the Secret Service would have people on the surrounding rooftops.

    Possible ANTIFA shooter. That was a leak to Fox News. Unconfirmed.

    Maybe they did. The shooter is dead.

    “Butler PD confirms arrest of Mark Violets, identified as the Trump shooter and a known Antifa extremist. Before the attack he uploaded a video on YouTube claiming ‘justice is coming.”

    Yet, he was able to get up there with a rifle.

    I was glad to hear him say that he wouldn't speculate. I get sick and tired of speculation. I thought he seemed surprisingly cogent for Biden.

    It was said that he was "outside the security perimeter". I'm sure all the details will be revealed.

    I think it's safe to say that it wasn't a hunting accident.

    I'm not. I'm pretty sure they rarely are.

    If he was killed, how did they arrest him? Was he a second shooter?

    That's the problem with live events. The speculation is often contradictory. One report was that there was two shooters - one on the roof, the other on the bleachers behind Trump. I dunno.

    If you look really closely at this picture that Beth posted, just above the back of the SS agent helping Trump, it looks like a small bullet hole in his coat jacket. Someone posted this on Twitter, but I was not sure if it has been faked, but you can clearly see it in the one Beth posted, too.
    They are now saying the person carried out from the bleachers was someone there for the rally, and he was shot in the back of the head, according to the person standing next to him on the bleachers.
    The shooter was the person on the rooftop, and apparently he was somewhere that the SS snipers should have been watching because it was a straight shot to where Trump was standing.
