Messages of kindness are infuriating? Huh. Never knew that.The president and vice president have been briefed. Homeland security has spoke with the secret service and been briefed.
It's time the American people are briefed. We should not have to wait week months for a thorough indepth investigation before we know what happened. Americans will judge this attempted assassination based on what the media is reporting. Many live witnesses are speaking out, we have many facts, now we need answers and quickly.
The last thing I want to hear tonight, is kumbaya, hug your neighbor and let's all be one happy family. I think if that's the message the American public will be infuriated.
This is a very serious situation, an attempt was made on a previous president and public figure running for office.
It's a .... tell us what you know, and let's move on and try to heal, or they can let this fester.

If he was on the back half of that laying down, it's possible he wasn't visible fully if at all until he began shooting.
This may have already been said - but it bears repeating, if Trump had not turned his head when he did, it likely would be a different story. I don’t think the shooter was as bad a shot as is being implied.Fortunately, he was a bad shot, and he missed.
JMVHO.
The reason for that train of thought, he was going to take his life and others - no matter how it was accomplished.Just curious about his intent in bringing them, but leaving them behind in the vehicle. Unless they were set to detonate if someone opened the door, but no indication of that in the media.Have read numerous articles on it. Not one has stated the type or quantity of explosives.

From what I understand, he couldn’t engage because his hands were occupied holding himself up on the ledge. The shooter turned and aimed at him and he dropped down. Then the shooter opened fire. The officer probably wasn’t able to engage at that point because reaching for his weapon wasn’t an option.Yes, I'm sure that helped. The obvious unanswered question though is why he didn't engage, and attempt to stop the shooter in the first place.
And of course the question as to why SS snipers didn't have constant eyes on that building.
You can hold onto a ladder with one hand, and use your free hand to do anything you want. That’s how construction workers do their jobs.From what I understand, he couldn’t engage because his hands were occupied holding himself up on the ledge.

I did have a thought that maybe he wanted to use the explosives to hit Trump as his convoy entered or exited. Maybe a back up plan in case he didn't get up on the roof in a position to take a shot?The reason for that train of thought, he was going to take his life and others - no matter how it was accomplished.Just curious about his intent in bringing them, but leaving them behind in the vehicle.

I felt he looked oddly familiar, too.I’m catching up on the thread, but this guy looks eerily familiar and I can’t put my finger on it. Not in an I would know him personally sort of way, but like he reminds me of someone who has done something like this in the past. Unsettling.
If you see the distance from where he was on the roof, to his ladder, to his parked vehicle (not very far), my guess would be he intended to flee and force a standoff with LE, perhaps goading them to approach his car.

I certainly didn't mean to imply that, and understand how my statement does appear to convey that.Messages of kindness are infuriating? Huh. Never knew that.

True, but what I read implied he had pulled himself up on the ledge, not that he was holding onto a ladder. But you’re correct, we’ll find out.You can hold onto a ladder with one hand, and use your free hand to do anything you want. That’s how construction workers do their jobs.
We’ll learn more soon I’m sure via a police report or something.
