    I heard people saw him, including the SS, but they waited to make sure he had an actual gun so they didn’t just waste a kid.

    But I have a hard time believing that cuz if they have to wait until someone takes a shot before they do anything then what’s the point of even having security?

      They don’t. They have a shoot first, ask questions later mandate. There was retired USSS basically saying they’re given the discretion.

      Nobody would be screaming for an agents head if they offed someone with a gun (bb gun or not) setting up on a roof with siteline to a president at a campaign event.
