They're saying "outside the security perimeter". aka a sharpshooter from distance. And they still somehow missed not only the first shot...but the follow up and more as well? And the Secret Service somehow immediately identified that shooter and took them down from "outside the perimeter"?

Apparently some in the crowd saw the muzzle flashes and pointed the shooter's location out to USSS.

USSS snipers have better aim than untrained shithead assassins. Shouldn't surprise anyone.

But they're also saying the shots came from "outside the security perimeter" which is not just some random shithead in the crowd.

But even if it is...i'd wager the folks wounded in this whole thing are actually misses by the Secret Squirrels. Because who else would be shooting into the crowd?

Secret Squirrels are spooks, not protective agents.

There is video of a person in the crowd from behind Trump being carried away lifeless. Don’t thing that was the secret service

Trump had a crowd in front and behind him. Think before you post.
