An interesting bit about the wanna-be Trump assassin:
“According to federal prosecutors, the sniper nest with two backpacks, an AK-47 and Go-Pro was set up 12 hours before the foiled plot.”
No one noticed him there for twelve hours?
So who in the Secret Service is responsible for checking the perimeter?

Great job , Dick Tracy.
First it was an SKS (Chinese design), not an AK47 ( Russian design).
Neither rifle would be my selection for long-range engagement.
The paparazzi knew about the selected ambush site, and used it for photography — it was not a closely guarded secret. The fact that this clown traveled from Hawaii effectively resolves the “premeditation” aspect of this event. Sixteen hours of crap hanging on a fence could
easily be construed as a homeless “hide” rather than a sniper’s nest.
Hat tip to the USSS agent that fired upon the assassin, causing him to scramble. I will give him the benefit of the doubt, presuming he/she MISSED ON PURPOSE, to (a) spur immediate protectee evac, and (b) not kill an innocent if his/her situational assessment was wrong.
