Remember there are financial limits on how many SS members are deployed for each former President and actually Biden has just increased Trumps allocation since this incident.
If you look at the snipers that took the perp out they had Police uniforms on.
There is also an amazing picture of the trail (air disturbance) of the bullet going past Trumps head after nicking the top of his ear. There are rumours that it was a shard of glass from something on Trumps podium getting hit by a bullet, but this is incorrect, it was a close speeding bullet that caused the blood to flow. Trump turned his head at exactly the right moment to avoid serious injury to the back right hand side of his skull. There are diagrams showing how this occurred.
150 yards is a bit too far for accurate unfailing shooting using iron sights rather than optical sights, the 20 year old shooter was known in his school as a poor shot as well so not surprising he just missed, Trump leading a charmed life, only the good die young.
Yes, there seems to be reports of the public spotting the shooter with the rifle on the rooftop but the SS/police not taking it very seriously, now it looks like they are finger pointing the blame at each other?
Unfortunately this has sparked numerous conspiracy theories as a result which is inevitable in this situation regardless.
When I first saw that picture of the bullet captured, I thought it might have been fake but turns out it was real, the camera must have been filming at a reasonably high framerate to capture that im assuming?
Seems pretty amateurish if the shooter was using iron sights, 150 yards is a fair way away for an accurate shot as you say.
