larry johnson with more assassination adventures;

Based on reports coming out late today, it looks like Chris nailed it. The local police had a three-man SWAT element inside the building where the shooter, who was on the roof, was located. That created some confusion for the counter snipers who were observing the shooter crawling up on the roof. We will have to wait for the communications to be released to know exactly what was said — the counter snipers probably were trying to confirm if the guy they were seeing was part of the group inside the building.

Still, this is a major screw up. There should have been a Rule of Engagement (ROE) in place stipulating that no friendlies would be on the roof. Or, maybe, the SWAT element was supposed to be on the roof and wimped out because of the heat. I stand by my original assertion — this was either major incompetence or something darker.

There is a document circulating on the web, allegedly written by one of the counter sniper’s, claiming he was not given permission to shoot. I have heard from other sources I trust that this is a fabrication. Again, we will have to wait until that man is brought before Congress and testifies under oath. Does not matter, though. Donald Trump is alive and kicking.

Judge Napolitano interrupted his vacation to hold an impromptu roundtable with Ray and me at noon today. We discuss the attempted assassination..........more.........
