How is it the Secret Service allowed the roof of a nearby building to be outside the perimeter . . . . [View all]

. . . . even as it had a easy line of sight to the podium?

That's a rookie mistake.

And how is it people in the crowd saw the shooter. Saw the gun. Yelled about it to the secret service for "ten minutes" but were ignored.

This all seems pretty amazing to me.
