A radicalized person would be more empowered by those above changes as a result of political violence. ‘Society was altered then, and it will be again on ‘my’ account’.Secret Service started assigning an agent to the small group of reporters who travel with the president so they would know whether someone was infiltrating the group.
After Reagan's shooting, presidents also were driven into buildings through underground parking garages. When that's not possible, a cover is erected around the entrance to obstruct the line of sight as the president gets into or out of a vehicle.
“Nobody walks through the front door any more," said retired supervisory Secret Service agent Bobby McDonald, now a criminal justice lecturer at the University of New Haven. “Presidents and protectees of the Secret Service have seen more loading docks and have walked through more kitchens than ever before.”
Changes also followed the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963 as he drove through Dallas in a convertible, former agents say. Presidents no longer sit in open vehicles but wave to onlookers through the thick glass of a heavily armored limousine nicknamed “the beast.”
Mounting security concerns a month after the Oklahoma City bombing at a federal building prompted the closure. There were other changes, too, such as air traffic restrictions after a small plane crashed into the White House lawn in 1994. As well, gunfire twice hit the mansion that same year.
Then-President Bill Clinton said closing the street was necessary to protect against the kind of attack seen in Oklahoma City but vowed that “people's access to the White House and their president” would not be impeded. He even vowed that protesters would still have the right to walk up to the White House property. Many still do.
Wow, thank you that find. My jaw dropped when I started reading #5 - Secret Service was initially not going to send snipers to the rally, according to local law enforcement. I think the individual SS personel surrounding Trump are innocent from wrong doing, but I have to strongly question the ones in command. This is beginning to go from "we are short staffed" to we didn't really pay enough attention, nor did we care. JMORep.

The weekend of the Butler shooting, the Secret Service had sent multiple countersniper teams and hundreds of agents to the Republican National Convention and was also securing an event by Jill Biden and a scheduled trip by President Biden to Austin the day after the shooting.
Looks like Johnson's staff did the best they could with limited access, but I will be looking forward to the FBI's fully documented professional investigative report for answers. There isn't any question that the security plan failed and that Secret Service accepts responsibility for the failure. What we need now is an accurate understanding how Crooks was able to get on that roof with a gun. As is evident from the Johnson staff's report and this thread, too many questions remain unanswered at this point for the public to be reassured.Rep.

How did Crooks get a car and a bicycle to the site? Drive the bike there and use it to look around?Rep. Ron Johnson - Preliminary Findings In the Investigation Into the Attempted Assassination of President Trump

We still don't know if the bicycle belongs to him, as the report is asking if it does. His car was apparently parked in the lot, and I imagine he walked or rode his bike to the venue itself. The fact that we haven't heard anything about this bike, makes me think it doesn't belong to him. I also don't think that van that's ben mentioned belongs to him either.How did Crooks get a car and a bicycle to the site? Drive the bike there and use it to look around?
actually she did FWIW:She will probably claim that ‘she didn’t know or approve this’ to lessen the initial impact but it’s just as incriminating.
She hasn’t shown direct remorse to Trump, the injured or to Corey’s family (unless I have missed it). Regardless, she needs to go.
car, gun, range finder, ammo, drone, bomb, detonator, ladder (?) ... with or without the bicycle, he had a lot of stuff to tote around...We still don't know if the bicycle belongs to him, as the report is asking if it does.

Here's a gifted article:This article has a paywall. Can you give us the main point of the article/comparison? Thanks.
I am still confused about the ladder. Where did it end up? What about the backpack? I saw a ladder was found on the road near his home, but was that confirmed to be his?How did Crooks get a car and a bicycle to the site? Drive the bike there and use it to look around?

After first denying there had been cuts in USSS to Trump, CNN reports they are now confirming that they instead used local resources as substitutes:That seems rather extreme claim - that USSS refused requests for additional resources and personnel for 2 years leading up to the assassination attempt? Extraordinary claims from anonymous sources require extraordinary proof. I know its WaPo and I've willingly accepted most news outlets stories from anonymous sources following the assassination attempt, but this one seems a little exaggerated. No offense to you, of course.
