That rood was an obvious place to cover in any public event. It wasn't.
But we don't know WHY that roof wasn't covered. I can't imagine that it wasn't identified as a risk, but if it wasn't, that's on the Secret Service advance team. If it was identified, and officers were assigned to maintain a perimeter around that building but failed, that's on those officers.
And that's just two of many possible scenarios. The job here isn't to just take out our anger by firing random people. We need to know which people to hold accountable, then we hold them accountable. I also want to know what happened, and I'm not saying there was no F up here. There obviously was. We need to know what the F up was and who is responsible.
You are making lots of assumptions in your accusations, assumptions that may or may not prove to be true. There are multiple ways to make that roof secure. We don't yet know how that roof was supposed to be secured. You - nor I nor anyone else blathering on the internet - have any idea of what the plan was around this event. Only a few people know that information, and they're not talking to the public. They're talking to the FBI.
Let the investigation play out. Then we can hold the right people accountable.
