By law, presidential assassins are not permitted to hide behind trees.

The communications issue is unbelievably stupid. Police have known for many decades how to assign one common frequency to all units involved in a situation. Even radio hams and CBers know how to assign frequencies for different purposes.

Huge issue in 9/11 when the NYPD and the NYFD could not communicate at all.

Seems to be a standard M.O. when an important mission is conceived.

This dovetails with my Substack piece written less than an hour ago. It’s a “must read”: https://open.substack.com/pub/gregoryroman/p/bullets-and-ballistics-and-a-body?r=lpguy&utm_medium=ios

Thanks for the mathematical analysis. I'm reminded of similar calculations by Mike Adams back in the Las Vegas shooting some years back.

It is not at all a stretch to believe that the same administration that has been unfairly and maliciously denying RFK Secret Service protection would look the other way from the security lapses that killed one man, apparently disabled another, and almost killed DJT.

SS probably assumed the cops in the 2nd story window about 50’ away from the shooter could handle anything on that roof. But also probably never told them that was their responsibility. Shouldn’t assume anything will go as planned, since anything government turns to sh*t.
