Ya know, all those hardened, battle-bearded personal security details are probably a waste of money

[Aviation Pro]

If a lone senior citizen can pierce their invincibility so easily.

They are bullshit, a bunch of posers thinking they're hard.

Context: Kirk.

1. Fuck that MAGA bullet-sponge motherfucker. Still gonna need to see those Epstein Files.

[Kaleva]

2. They make it harder for the perp to get away

[Aviation Pro]

3. But their primary mission is to protect the principal

Therefore, fail.

5. I would think they would be much less useful against snipers.

[Kaleva]

8. Which I mention to DUers who want to get a gun to protect themselves

Against the fascist regime

[Kaleva]

7. Protecting by deterrence

4. Line of Fire (Movie)

Premise of the whole movie is that someone who doesn't care about getting caught, or killed, has a decent chance of pulling something terrible like this off, or getting closer than most.

6. And that's where a PSD (Personal Security Detail) is supposed to do a threat assessment and plan accordingly

So, again, fail.

[OC375]

10. Yep

They failed. Secret Service did during the election too. Apparently, it's catchy.

[Sogo]

9. Facts have changed. It was a shot from a building 200 yards away.

The senior citizen arrested in the crowd was arrested for something else entirely. He was never a suspect.

The shooter is not in custody.

11. No amount of security can stop a planned attack.
