These secret service agents had to make a lot of calculations swiftly and I imagine most of them dared not risk killing a lot of people. Some may just have frozen up.
Still, this hardly excuses the very lax security at the hotel. The Secret Service is supposed to be more like a priesthood than a cadre of mall cops.
Obviously we need major reforms to the SS. In fact, given the security breaches at all of the Trump assassination attempts one has to wonder if there aren't moles in the Secret Service who are paving the way for these amateur assassins. I wouldn't put anything past the deep state.
When the Secret Service was under the Treasury Department it functioned well. Now, under the Department of Homeland Security, it sucks. Coincidence?
On one of the AM stations I listen to while in my car, I frequently hear commercials for Sabre weapons which fire taser-type stuff, which I think might be better in these situations. Also, the Byrna stuff that Sean Hannity advertises possibly would work, as they are non-lethal weapons. From what I hear of both of them, I'd like to turn them on guys like most of the Democrats.

Me too Dana. If anybody deserves to be shot with a non-lethal weapon it is most Democrats. I'd like to watch them lose bladder control...

This is a political commentary reacting to a reported security incident involving the Secret Service, arguing that the response was limited, criticizing current security standards, and suggesting systemic failure or possible internal compromise without evidence. pool screen repair
