Was it staged? Or was it real?

Surely everyone knows what I’m talking about. This is 2024, expect the unexpected. I’ve seen so many theories and speculations all over social media, I’ve no idea what to think. The world we live in is a scary place. I think I’ll stay under my covers and hide!

It's a failure of the Secret Service

@HoraceGreenley Those guys failed miserably. It's a disgrace.

@HoraceGreenley Everyone wnats to believe that the secret service or any kind of police force are the most competent people who have ever lived because they watch too many movies. Every single time government documents are revealed it becomes extremely clear that these people have always been really bad at their jobs.

When Reagan was shot, the Secret Service detail picked him up and ran with him to his armored car. His feet never touched the ground and it took a few seconds.

The 5'5" women on Trump's detail aren't big enough to shield him or carry him bodily even with 4 or 5 agents. Trump is 6'2" and a chubby 5'5" women is useless.

Afterwards they were so nervous they couldn't holster their weapons.

Our security chief at my office was part of the Reagan SS crew during that atrocity (he's in all the famous pictures from it)

They did a great job getting him away but did fuck up by allowing the breach

@SW-User Trains derail; bridges collapse; on Jan. 27, 1967, a fire swept through the Apollo 1 command module during a launch rehearsal, killing three astronauts trapped inside.
We are all human, we are not demi-gods, and shit happens.
People watch too many movies. They may think Secret Service agents are something like James "007" Bond; but they aren't.

There's no margin of error in their jobs dear. Yes they are great at what they do but do you really think shortcomings should be ignored?

Good enough only works for horseshoes and hand grenades (and condoms if there aint much volume) 🤤

@SW-User Condoms are excellent balloons – is there any other purpose? 😏
