There’s not a doubt in my mind at this point that this was allowed to happen. I don’t know who funded it or blackmailed whoever to make it happen, but someone, at some point allowed this lapse in security for this to happen.
I understand that sometimes stuff really does just happen. After 8 years in the Corps, being around multiple operators (not me, just got to work with some in the same platoon), this level of failure does NOT happen at that level. This is the type of failure you see with some amateur security company like G4S or something similar. This is not what you see out of Secret Service. This opening for the shooter was left on purpose and there’s not a single person who’s going to change my mind.
Amateurs wouldn't allow that obviously. People in the crowd could have and would have stopped it if not for knowing that they would likely be shot for climbing onto that roof. SS with a radio or uniformed police could have easily ended the threat.
