The Secret Service Makes Me Nervous.
The perp is the usual pliable boob out of central casting - in this case, a "Teacher of the Month" from California. But the interior of a DC hotel shouldn't be that hard a venue to secure. Even forty-five years ago, when Ronald Reagan was shot at the very same Hilton, the would-be assassin had to wait till the President was leaving the joint and take a potshot on the sidewalk.
Breitbart reports that the Booth wannabe used the hotel's stairways to dodge security. Damn his evil genius! The people in charge of keeping the president alive never thought of that!
ReplyDeleteIn the comments there's a suggestion that Trump ditch the Sleeping Service altogether and hire private firms to protect him. I can't see them doing a worse job than the people on the government payroll.
The Marines have always been a part of POTUS' protection details.
ReplyDeleteSend them to start beating up the folks who screw up every time they screw up.
Heck, they shouldhave slapped around the fool on Dr. Jill's detail who shot himself.
I'm not sure I understand why the guy is still alive.
ReplyDeleteYou would think the agents guarding the President would be real life Raylan Givenses, and the words "I missed" wouldn't be part of their vocabulary.
