    The sniper teams were not on that roof they were on 2 different roofs.

    People can and sometimes do fall through roofs if inadequate safety precautions are not taken.

    What thread have you been reading? When did I say snipers were on that roof? Everybody has known the whole time the counter snipers were on two different roofs haha!The whole argument is the director never put snipers on that roof. And you defended basically the secret service directors assessment that it was dangerous by saying there could be underlying causes of safety measure issues that we don't know of or in the public domain. All those people on that small patch of roof near the shooter proves that there was no underlying safety precautions that you seem to think existed. You are the only one that thinks that by the way.the counter snipers were on two different roofs , Yes they sure were, the secret service counter snipers right behind Trump stage left and stage right on two different barn roofs. keep grasping at straws my man haha. Sometimes it can be wonderfully funny when some people can't stand to be even a little bit wrong haha. They start bickering like a lawyer , grasping at any straw that can keep their argument afloat haha

    I know clearly what I am thinking and posting, yet you contradict almost every single word that I post on this thread. My thoughts are equally as valid as your's. It is you that is doing the bickering by constantly contradicting almost everything that I post on this thread.

    I did not bring up the issue of "roof safety" initially but I did attempt to try and explain why it might have been a consideration for someone trying to make decisions, in the heat of the moment on the day. I do have some experience of working on flat roofs and I don't use safety harnesses because I don't have to but I still take certain safety precautions applicable to the roof that I am on.

    You are looking at everything with the benefit of hindsight which, unfortunately, the people on the day, making the decisions, did not have.

    How you seem to think that you know exactly what happened on the day and anyone else with alternative ideas as to why things may have happened as they did is wrong, I don't know. The reality is that very little is known for sure and that is why an investigation is being carried out.

    As for "trolling" you are talking nonsense.

    Regarding the comment on roofs that F10 talks about ~ People can and sometimes do fall through roofs if inadequate safety precautions are not taken.

    My first job from school was a roof tiler laying concrete tiles bumping (carrying them) in lifts of 10 (100 lbs) across scaff planks up the ladder & across the roof batton's I only fell off the roof once as the batton was only nailed in the middle and not each end where the marker nails were.
    So it did a big prop job I threw the tiles off my shoulder they went through the eaves I lobbed on the gutter as I jumped it collapsed with me falling about 10 feet into soft sand with thankfully no bricks or half bricks or steel ties!
    Thing with concrete tiles you nail every second one but sometimes you will miss the galv clout and hit the tile which wont break there and then but it will break overnight due to contractions getting cold so the next day when you step on it it will fail completely and your leg will disappear into the roof space.
    Not a nice thing to have happen when one has a 20 liter bucket of concrete mud for laying the ridge capping on your shoulders had this happen once or twice really good for one's shins, back and the already laid roof tiles.

    Before they got into the safety thing with systems with roofing workers we quite happily walked around on these steel clad roofs only dangerous times were old ones where a form of talc forms on the surface very slippery when wet or dew covered, also wet roofs whether tiled or steel clad.
    I enjoyed the work it was very physical but you never forget how to walk safely across a tiled roof as there is a certain spot you tread on the tile not to break it I watch some homeowners walk across their house roof and cringe the way the do it.......!

    It's obvious you are trolling. I will be wasting no more time on you. I don't know if you're a Trump hater that just wants to fill a thread about his assassination attempt full of gibberish or what, But it's not going to go any further with me. You can play your trolling BS with someone else on here that would be willing to play along with you

    All those people standing on the exact same roof. Certainly looks like very inadequate safety precautions. Someone must have edited out all the parts where they each fell through one by one.
