Yea on a perfectly still and crisp December morning shooting at a deer.

I’m guessing Bubba might be slightly less accurate when shooting at the fucking president knowing he will die in about 30 seconds after he pulls the trigger with the whole world watching.

Sure, there’s a pressure difference. But all you have to do is hit the target. That much kinetic energy on a human, anywhere near the vitals, and they’re generally fucked. The kid was at what, 200 yards? A real rifle with an optic, that’s a 90%+ shot. Which is what the SS should be protecting against. Protect against the higher percentage threats. They can’t stop a guy who can hit a target from 3,000 yards, the perimeter is too big. But that’s a much lower risk.

We should encourage them to attempt ladder recreations, remember a fall can be fatal from 4 feet.  I have taken OSHA courses.

I think you and TwiceHorn are missing the point of AOC's question.  

Fucking seriously. Goddamned lawyers man, I swear to god.

It feels like this barely even happened, lol. I’m starting to think it’s just evidence that Trump is widely hated, even his supporters understand that it wasn’t a left wing plot but one of their own (or at least a neutral attention whore). Nobody cares about your ear hole jackass.

Oh is this where we start talking about calibers and magazines vs clips and a bunch of other stupid gun bullshit?  Because that sounds super fun and definitely has never been done before. 

Clip it, Biff.

I agree with your point.  However, he wasn't shooting at the "fucking president."  He was shooting at a convicted felon and rapist who happened to serve as POTUS previously.

This. If you were to assign any of a million hunters in Texas the “mission” of “take a dude out at under 300 yards,” functionally all of them would bring their own scoped rifle in 30/06, .270, .300 WM, etc. And almost all could hit the target’s center mass.
Give a decent shooter a clear shot at a large mammal inside 300 yards, and most will score a solid hit.
That sort of threat is the baseline the SS should be prepared for and should sweep for, in all cases.

I guess I should say when I'm talking "perimeter," I'm thinking controlled access rather than an area of overwatch.  They'd have to have overwatch out to 2500-3000 yards, just in case.

The SS doesn’t have the audio from the communications that day.  Un-fucking-believable.

"Hey Scotty, did you see that guy with a rifle go up on the roof right above you?"

"Shhhh, busy playing candy crush here. Fuck off." 

 

Yeah, I can see why they wouldn't want to release that

yeah, probably the worst prepped witness in history.  

I am generally not a tinfoil hat dude, but her stonewalling was unbelievable.  

sniper gets to the absolutely most OBVIOUS spot, initial lame ass excuses(sloped roof, not our perimiter...), no audio from the day of, no answers for 60 days.....

Or, you know, maybe not have these things outside in large spaces. But indoor venues cost money and Trump doesn't like spending any of "his" money.

I'm wondering when this was taped.  

https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/golf/2024/07/22/bryson-dechambeau-to-play-golf-with-donald-trump-on-his-youtube-channel/

I have to assume this was done prior to the shooting (given the lack of any noticeable injury to his ear) but who knows?

 

 

Jesus, what a choad. I wonder how much favorable editing they had to do before Trump signed off on it.

BDC is listed at 6'-1".

Question for the dudes: when yall say 5’10 that means what height? When guys say 6 foot or 6’1” that means? Because a lot of times (I am 5’8”) I will be around guys that say they are 6 foot and there is no fucking way.

i'm closer to 6'2" than 6'1, but always say 6'1 because lying about height is cringy as fuck.

They normally have audio. Just not that day. I know Cheatle referred to the fbi for the investigation but damn:

how many shell casings on the roof? Ask the FBI.  

Was there a second shooter? She said ask FBI.

Were there people in the building? Yes. Why didn’t any of them hear the shooter on the roof? Said to ask FBI.

Can you give us a timeline of the events? Yes. I have one with me. Can you breakdown what happened that day? My timeline is not specific. 

The oversight committee isn’t exactly a committee that “gets along.” About anything. They were all in agreement on this. 

I'm unsure that the USSS has any investigatory authority over a situation like this. And honesty, I don't think we would want them to investigate their own.

I assume that the USSS purposefully does not maintain audio recordings because the people that they "protect" need to feel secure in that the current situation will not be broadcast. One agent needing to communicate to another agent regarding a secret meeting, legitimate or even a less than legitimate personal meeting.

If the protected person feels that confidential info is being recorded and maintained, they may look to get away from their security detail.

The downside is that when a situation occurs, we have to rely on personal memories or cover ups.

If that is the policy and practice they should say as much.  That's not what is being portrayed, nor has it been in the past instances.

I don't think they ever publicly talk about their security practices, or lack there of. And given our representatives, I think it would be a mistake to tell them behind closed doors since they will repeat what they heard.

Sorry, Cheatle, for the inquisition.
I think you don't got it (got it), don't got the strength to carry on, oh yeah.
You need to fax over a quick resignation.
Now I replace thee, ooh, who will it be?

A decent number of women on the apps will put on their profiles: "won't date a man under 6 feet tall" or something like that. Leads to a good number of guys fudging their numbers

Nothing stings quite like being a >6ft tall lesbian who is broken up with by a bisexual girl who dates a 5'8" man immediately after things are ended. 

(Bisexual people are valid and real and belong in queer spaces, don't at me)

I'm not sure that's the case, but it wouldn't surprise me much.  The FBI until very recently refused to record witness interviews and that was a very considered policy, not some forgotten relic of the past.
