.IT WAS A remarkable lapse in safety and security: exactly how performed a sniper mount an unprotected rooftop with a direct view to Donald Trump, that was standing a mere 150m away? Based on video footage, it seems like Mr Trump was millimetres coming from fatality-- conserved through a blessed turn of the crown a split second just before Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old coming from Pennsylvania, fired at him. Scoundrels got rid of a rally-goer just before being fatally fired themself.
