This DEI thing is gonna get someone killed. The female head of secret service has failed miserably. Also, you can't have a 5'2" female or male protecting a 6'5" Trump. What are we doing here?
They have a goal of having 30% females in the secret service. Why? How about hire the best people. How about hire people capable of doing the job?
so why does the US military give 18 year olds rifles, handguns, artillery, nuclear bombs, etc. and send them off to kill people if they are not mature enough?
Do you believe a big strapping man in the path of a bullet would protect the target?
Why are you guy's turning this into a gun debate? It's completely beside the point of this thread.
Anyway, PJW has been making great videos on the shooting:

Fwiw, if you were making a SNL skit about a school shooter the makeup artist couldn't do better than Crooks. Also hilarious the kid was in a Blackrock commercial.
They are under more supervision. They are in designated areas. They don't give them those weapons to go home with and do what they want with them during the day, evening or weekend.
Lol what. I didn't think it was a gotcha or being evasive. I said we probably agree on this and added more color. I guess I'm not sure on your position now to understand if we agree or not.
Mine is that I don't have some hard line definitive age answer, but 20 is probably too young, and overall America could use some more restrictive gun reform.
Yes very likely. They have at least kevlar vests on. Ideally they should have ceramic plates too. Unless it's an Oswald magic bullet, it's not going through a vest, a big strapping man, another side of the vest, and then impacting someone else with enough force to kill them.
A bigger person protecting gives a greater chance of protection.
This makes it much more clear; you're not sure if you agree with me or not.
So, it's just culture war stuff?
If that's the case, normally I would get it. But trump changes the equation. What he'll do is far worse that any woke stuff you have to deal with.
If she had instead been a not even 5'5" male, the conversation would just be about how he appears incompetent and too short. But because she's a woman, the comments are saying she's incompetent and too short because of her sex. Do you not see a problem with that?
What specifically?
So then we should just go with Andre the Giant (rip)? Or are there other things that are important for protection?
Did you see any 5'5" males surrounding Trump? I'm guessing all were 6'0 and above.
To be fair the 5 secret service agents closest to Trump on stage were large males. The females came from further away.
Why did you leave out the 6 inches of height?
That extra flesh covers more real estate that bullets can hit.
I dunno how big you are, but she is small and short. 140lbs tops.
I am 5'11 192 lb gym rat and I still think I am probably too small and on the short side to be a meat shield for Trump.
Yes. The balance between size and agility matters.
Better than a petite female.
Why are you guys saying its gotta be Andre the Giant.
I think being a ~200lb human almost 6 feet should probably be the cutoff.
Well we all know for a fact that guns don't kill people. Drinking and smoking kills people. Gotta regulate the lethal stuff.
I think we can all agree that between men and women, women would be more likely to empathize with you when you're in a real bad spot, but don't want to leave your prized footwear behind.
Women should not be secret service agents due to strength and psychological makeup. A woman is much more likely to choke under pressure of fire and not sacrifice her body for the President.
great post
Other skills as well, not including asking where to go in critical situations or ducking behind president. But all other skills being equal, the bigger person should be the preferred candidate for this particular task.
As someone that thinks rifles and guns are really stupid American culture, this was a good post.
wat. lol.
there is no "smoking age". you need to be 21 to purchase tobacco products.
There's a reason only men fought in battle for all of human history (with rare exceptions).
