Yup, this roof was too dangerous for highly trained Secret Service agents.

I'm glad KF is covering this because it stinks to high heaven. Elon Musk said it best when this first went down, something to the effect of "Either gross incompetence or intentional stand-down." And he hasn't been proven wrong yet.
I don't think everything is rigged, just JFK, 9/11, Uvalde, J6 and now J13.
Has anyone thought to check with factory personnel to see if the boy was working there under a different I.D.?
Reno 911 comes to real life
The Leftist Deep State has poorly hidden, and overplayed its hand, and will soon - as it always has throughout history - face its own extinction.
Bennie Thompson led Democrats in moving “to strip Trump of his Secret Service protection,” i.e. telegraphed the message Democrats want Trump killed,
+
Joe Biden casting Trump “as an existential threat to America who must be stopped” (how stupid do you really have to be to believe this scam?),
+
DEI idiots given jobs they don’t deserve (allegedly Kim Cheatle got hers from Jill Biden).
Perfect combination for Democrats to get a would be assassin with a rifle within 150 yards of a past President (0% chance this would have happened to Obama or Biden).
The counter-snipers were on a sloped roof...
Climb the damn fence!!
Duh.
How did she make it with the SS her entire career if this is how she Leads an agency? Absolutely NO EXCUSE acceptable for these injuries. Loss of life and assassination attempt! She has resources no other agencies have and this is her response. After attendees told LEO shooter took 5ft ladder along with AR rifle to the roof. Local LEO looked shooter in the eye, crawled back down and called in threat to SS giving time for INNOCENT lives to be FIRED upon! FIRE HER IMMEDIATELY as she cannot lead these men and women to make and keep America safe!
A woman has NO business in this line of work. And they certainly aren't cut out to lead men in law enforcement, military or sports.
Don't get me wrong. I love women.
Reminder that the term “conspiracy theory/theorist” was created by the feds to slur the overwhelming majority of people who questioned and/or rejected the Warren Commission Report of the assasination of JFK.
Something that really troubles me is that Air Force One is being “upgraded” to one of Boeing newest death traps built by DEI retards. Trump should refuse to fly on anything but the trustworthy 747s.
First of all, a slope doesn't occur at a point as her comment indicated. The roof was sloped at its highest point, its lowest point, and all points in between. It is amazing what people will say when they are making things up... Second, the Counter Assault Team (CAT) was positioned on a roof with a steeper slope than the building in question, so that blows her reasoning out of the water, unless, of course, the two CAT team members were the only ones on the team that were trained to maneuver on barely sloped roofs. And, after seeing the footage of how some of the agents reacted, is is clear that some were not trained to work on even on level ground.
No one had any bolt cutters in their vehicle?!?
Keystone State Kops
Monday morning quarterbacking the Secret Service. Kingbitch couldn’t even hold her jockstrap.
"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools." - Douglas Adams
As ugly as she is I doubt that a casting couch rose her to the top.
Just another Uvalde moment by our government.
When I saw cops wearing those big dumb hats like MHP troopers here screw on their heads, I knew to cue Yakkity Sax, that Benny Hill-esque comedy would soon ensue.
This is a result of replacing police with “law-enforcers.” Uvalde PD, don’t look now, but you’ve got competition.
2 things. 1. How were those 4 officers able to stand upright around the shooter’s body? 2. Reports say director was on Jill’s detail and Jill liked her! That’s all it takes!
...the BlackRock intersection with the shooter...
She lives up to all expectations I have for any Biden appointee--
The level of incompetence of so many Biden appointees is simply breathtaking. Cheatle is just the latest example.
A Jill Biden hire-
When you hear a person say "you know" multiple times, it is a a sign of limited intellect. Just one step below the infamous "you know, I don't know. Whatever."
Cheatle:
"And so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building from the inside."
AHA! I always suspected FEMA did not know what it was doing. Those clowns always tell folks to put those blue tarps it gives away on the OUTSIDE, up on the danged roof. Well, highly trained security personnel contradict that nonsense. Folks ought to be putting them INSIDE the home. So, OK, maybe that wouldn't do a damned bit of good to secure...well, anything, but it sure would be safer for folks. After all, if highly trained USSS snipers are in unreasonable danger up on a roof, what chance does some civilian stand of surviving getting up there AND spreading out a huge tarp? Hell, why did they even shoot at the guy? He was on a roof, so he was mere seconds from a gruesome death anyway. And how were the snipers...on another roof...even alive to do any shooting anyway?
Has OSHA chimed in the roof situation? After all, since most folks prefer their homes and buildings with roofs, that certainly presents issues with regard to the thousands of workers who install them. A lot of those guys could be, um, unregistered guests and if so, at least those who are need to be protected at whatever cost. Certainly more so than some asshole who is just one of the two men who will be the next President of the United States.
I think the government needs get its collective act together, choose a position (pardon the pun) on roofs, and stick with it. Maybe using old sofa cushions or something would help. Or firing those whose views on roofs are not in line with reality or common-fucking-sense. You know, like idiots who post stupid-ass comments on social media about shooting lessons.
July 17, 2024 at 6:41 AM, she didn't come up through the ranks of the Secret Service. Her last job was making sure soda pop, and Cheetos were safe for PepsiCo.
You have to understand something, from her point of view, standing on that slightly sloped roof would have been dangerous in high heels.
Knucklehead, she was at the Secret Service for 25 years prior to Pepsi
She made it to the top of the Secret Service because Biden wanted all of his heads of all Departments diverse. Secret Service who is under Homeland Security which Bennie Thompson oversees fully complied with the mandate for total diversity.
Kimberly Cheatle, Sam Brinton, Pete Buttigieg, Karine Jean-Pierre and Kamala Harris are DEI hires. It really means they were owed a favor because of their race, gender or sexual orientation and not the ability to do the job. All of the above proved to be disasters.
And the girl trying to shield Trump after the shooting and get him off the stage was a joke; about 2 ft shorter than the man she was shielding and no upper body strength. It was pathetic.
Biden's admin reminds me so much of the City of Jackson.
Its a case study in how to make the worst decisions/hires and tank a once great city or nation.
The roof the shooter was on is a standard pitched metal building with a 1:12 roof pitch. That is the same slope as a handicap ramp!
At least it's somewhat comforting to see those police don't normally carry bolt cutters.
@9:42 Well done.
July 17, 2024 at 10:30 AM, are you saying she didn't come from PepsiCo to be head of the Secret Service?
Maybe we have different understandings of come up through the ranks. My definition of coming up through the ranks is, starting at the bottom, and working your way to the top. She didn't do that.
You said she did not come through the ranks of the SS. She worked detail, walked post, spent 25 years at the SS. She ran the Atlanta Field Office at one point in her career.
Kingfish, what did she learn in those 25 years? From the looks of things she should be put back on walking post.
I just watched an interview of a Butler Township commissioner. He stated emphatically that local police officers were explicitly assigned by the SS to traffic control, NOT SECURITY.
The SS Director is a fucking liar, just like the Bidens. She will say anything to keep her cushy high paid job that she obtained through her pal "Doctor" Jill.
July 17, 2024 at 2:53 PM, I have no intention of arguing with you, sir. If you see it that way, that's well, and good.
Beauregard, if I may arbitrate your disagreement, you are wrong. Cheatle worked her way up through the ranks, spending a 25-year career with SS, then took a private sector job with Pepsi before returning as director. I’m certainly not defending her, but facts are facts.
"The roof the shooter was on is a standard pitched metal building with a 1:12 roof pitch. That is the same slope as a handicap ramp!" July 17, 2024 at 12:13 PM
Heaven forbid this poor woman should ever have to go to San Francisco - or Cincinnati - or Eureka Springs - or Vicksburg. ...or drive up the mountain, toward Flagstaff, a stretch of Interstate with roughly the same gradient as that roof.
Maybe she was trying to describe the bump-up RIDGE VENT at the roof's crest? (which, maybe, some lard-ass might not be able to STEP OVER)
Or maybe she knows that any lame excuse will do, since the events of 2020 have made it clear (and I quote someone in Australia, speaking of the draconian Covid response), "Now, they know they can do anything to us that they want."
Maybe, her REAL message, is that it doesn't matter what we think. Maybe it's like Bette Davis telling Joan Crawford, "Oh, by the way, Blanche, did-ya know we got rats in the cellar?"
July 17, 2024 at 8:54 PM, brother, or sister, I have only been wrong a few million times, if I don't count the small ones, so one more will be alright.
In my opinion, to work your way up through the ranks, someone started at the bottom, and stayed with the job, until they reached the very top. She didn't do that.
She left the Secret Service without reaching the top. She took another job, for some length of time, then came back to be placed at the top.
That's only my opinion, no one's required to agree with it, and under no circumstances will it be made into law. If others don't see it that way, that's alright with me.
Mississippi's Bennie Thompson is an incredibly, racist embarrassment for our State.

Maybe letting the wife of the president pick who is going to lead the SS isn't as good of a thing as they thought it would be. Wonder if the wife has been making the decisions all along. We always thought it was Obama making the decisions. We do know Joe couldn't make the decision on which shoes to wear.
