Did Crooks bring a ladder or was it fixed? Why wasn't the ladder manned by security?

Why weren't drones being used as an extra measure of security?

Vince reflects on the 1992 Rodney King riots in Los Angeles.

Retired Secret Service agent Dan Emmett said the Secret Service dropped the ball.

How did Crooks get into the event with a gun, binoculars and climb up on a ladder? Rifle hidden?

Was Crooks assured protection prior to the shooting by government or military officials?

The Secret Service provides life long protection to Presidents, past and present.
