Hmmm... I get the sentiment but at ~150 yards with that quality scope, the glass that I see next to them, and two guys working together to confirm, you can pretty much be sure that it's a gun and somebody with a gun in that location and posture is a confirmed threat. I'm taking that shot.
Sorry but the word 'normal' and this guy just doesn't go together.....
And then there's this POS that just keeps adding more fuel to the fire....
George is going to get more mean tweets now, further deepening his perspective. Weird how he doesn't look at the likes of Maxine Waters violent rhetoric, or any number of Dem politicians. He seems blissfully unaware of the high percentage of leftists who think assassination is "OK" in this case.... because Orange Man Bad. Or perhaps he agrees with them.
That is a valid take on what may have gone through the sniper's head and why he hesitated. But, questions remain as at least one person posted in that thread. How did the guy get on the roof? That is a failure. Furthermore, he crawled into position. There should have been some overwatch that immediately identified him moving into position.
The point remains, that this was a huge failure or was planned.
Either it's amateur hour now with the Secret Service and FBI or........they let it happen on purpose.
A screw up in event planning, surveillance and coverage or again....intentional.
I hope we find out soon but I'm not holding my breath.
Yeah, right......
And Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, Kathy Griffin, Johnny Depp and Robert De Niro among others have been preaching "treat thy fellow Republicans and conservatives with respect"......NOT.

I hear only 1 shot from SS, the time from the first shot by the shooter to the SS snipers shot is a lot.

The irony coming from these braindead liberal retards.
Folks, watch this video:
Pay close attention to his testimony at the 11:00 mark.
Pay close attention to his testimony at the 11:00 mark.
It was his camp - the Clinton Crime Syndicate - that started all these vitriol, hate, and unfounded accusations against Donald in 2016 when the modern day Jezebel herself started spewing words like racist, misogynist, bigot, deplorables, etc. and it snowballed from there.
If you want true indication as to where the Democrats are headed right now and what they are planning to do, forget all the talk from the liberal media and Congress and the WH and the Obamas, you only listen to George and Carville and anyone else representing the Clintons. They are the ones running the Democrat Party.

Getting comfortable
The news reports are now stating a police officer was on the roof with the shooter and backed off after he was threatened by the shooter who then started firing away. The police officer's name and picture need to be released immediately and then the person needs to be fired for starts.
Only her? How about Bennie Thompson himself and the rest of his staff?
This is the former "Jan. 6" committee chairman who sponsored the "DISGRACE ACT" that would strip Trump of his Secret Service detail and was co-authored by eight (8) other representatives. I say expel them all from the House!!!

Iirc 1.5-2 second reaction time for a concealed carry to ready is considered very good.
The key issue here .. is that roof should have been watched over .. and clearly if it had been, the threat could have been neutralized before he got over the crest of the roof.

Watched over or put a guy there. They were clearly spread out very thin. Undermanned because the head of Homeland Security purportedly denied their request for more personnel. This is like JFK all over again where some of his security detail were purposely removed from their duty only minutes before the start of the motorcade.
In crisis like this, we should be hearing from the head of The Agencies but it's all crickets.
