Shock video: Bad actors attempt to smash their way into a @DCFGuns store in Colorado Springs, Colo., but the retailer's multi-layered security thwarts them.
10:22 PM · Sep 2, 2024
“They used minors to do it, and frankly, it's pretty clever,” Oltmann said. “They hit five stores in less than two weeks.”
If they are arrested, the minors are sent to the juvenile system and emerge with clean records upon their 18th birthday, he said.
Oltmann said the modus operandi is to have two stolen cars driven by adults, with underage confederates. The thieves use one car to smash through the windows or entryways to the store. Then, the minors rush in and grab whatever they can until they make their escape in the second car.
As of publication, Oltmann said he still has not spoken with law enforcement leadership about the two incidents.
“They hit the West store, and here's the bad part: it took 73 minutes for a police officer to roll up on scene from a robbery from a gun store,” he said.
The show host said he believes the people who hit his stores were connected to the Venezuelan gangs who took over apartment buildings in Aurora.

The U.S. Secret Service is apologizing to a Massachusetts salon owner after an agent covered her security camera with duct tape and broke into her salon by picking the lock so that its bathroom could be used by various people for a two-hour period. //
"And then when they were done using the bathroom for two hours, they left, and left my building completely unlocked, and did not take the tape off the camera," she added. //

Powers said the Secret Service’s Boston office has apologized on behalf of the agency.
The one thing I didn't hear or read in the article that I should have was that someone was fired from the SS and they had already been charged for breaking and entering and criminal trespass.
I don't care about apologies nor should anybody else.

Why do we assume they screwed up? Far as I'm concerned, an error like that should be considered planned until proven otherwise. No one is that stupid, no operation is that sloppy. The roof was left unguarded and the shooter knew that would be the case or he wouldn't have been there.
Occam's Razor, this was intentional.
Online leftists are saying the screw up was the shooter missed.
Believe them.
Not giving these monsters the benefit of the doubt with "incompetence" when the week before Biden said it was time to put a a bullseye on Trump.
When they tell you who they are, believe them. //

Leaving an elevated platform within easy rifle range is willful malice, not stupidity. Like he said, when they tell you who they are, believe them. //

"Never assume malice where simple stupidity will suffice."
NO! When dealing with evil always assume to worst most twisted thing you can think of. Then reality will reveal it was even more twisted.
Most conservatives, are too loving, caring and moral to comprehend pure evil that has zero ounces of love, care or morality at any time. Not even simply stupidity explains how a gunman got inside the secret service perimeter which should have extended well BEYOND the building the shooter was on top of. //

I have no idea but that's what it looks like. The top of the USS denied requested increases in protection. Biden said put a bullseye on him. The counter sniper was looking in the exact direction of the shooter and didn't have to move to fire. So it's possible the roof was left open, the counter sniper was looking somewhere else and ignored the obvious elevated position, and the police decided an eye witness pointing to a man on the roof wasn't worth exploring all by coincidence, but I think that sounds unbelievable.
How would that shooter have known the roof would be unguarded? Why would USS leadership be more incompetent than a toddler and not post anyone on that rooftop or at least scan it constantly with the counter sniper team?
I don't know. Is it possible a large collection of people were all that incompetent OR it was a plan to take Trump out and take out the shooter so he couldn't talk.
Which is more believable? //

My guess is the plan came from the top and those at the ground level were deceived or mislead somehow. I too don't believe everyone on the ground was involved. But if the security plan had a hole and the regime had a patsy, then maybe that's how this happened.
I don't believe everyone there was corrupt. I also don't believe the ones who drew up the security plan were all incompetent and stupid.
This window of opportunity was filled with a disposable shooter and to quote Biden, the idea that was an accident is hard to believe. Too many people had to be absolute morons for that to be true.
The Washington Post published a story Wednesday about a 26-year-old black man in Chicago killed following a shootout with police last month. Readers have to scan eight paragraphs under the headline, “Police fire 96 shots in 41 seconds, killing Black man during traffic stop,” before learning bodycam footage indicates Dexter Reed fired first, wounding an officer. //
Neither CNN, USA Today, nor the Washington Post noted that Reed fired 11 rounds at the officers. His shots “almost kill[ed] an officer,” said Chicago Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara. The police shot back. Reed “continued to fire at the officers while they were firing those 90 rounds,” Catanzara noted.
