This was an appalling security breach that could have resulted in dozens killed and wounded–including President Trump. Friday night soon after Trump arrived at his Trump Turnberry golf club in Scotland, a Greenpeace protester flying a motored paraglider with a large anti-Trump banner hanging below flew within yards overhead of Trump who was outside receiving guests, forcing him to race inside with his Secret Service detail. Inexplicably, first U.K. security on the perimeter and then U.S. security on top and around the building allowed the paraglider to fly unmolested over Trump, members of his national security team, senior administration officials and dozens of guests assembled outside, and the building–and then allowed the flyer to escape!
The Greenpeace protest banner read, “”TRUMP, WELL BELOW PAR #RESIST.”. The name Greenpeace was painted on the inside of the parachute so it could be read from the ground.
As of this writing the flyer has not been caught. The flyer could very easily have had an IED on their person or built into their chair that could have been detonated over Trump and the dozens of guests and clueless security on the ground. Greenpeace reportedly alerted U.K. authorities about the flight ten minutes before. Even with warning the paraglider was not blown out of the sky but instead was allowed to make a mockery of the no-fly zone supposedly in place to protect Trump.
CNN reported security officials commenting without admitting their failure:
Police Scotland’s assistant chief constable, Mark Williams, revealed that the paraglider managed to escape after the incident.
“We are aware a powered parachute was flown in close proximity of the Turnberry Hotel earlier this evening,” Williams said. “It is a criminal offence to fly within the airspace restriction zone and officers are carrying out enquiries to trace the pilot.”

This is alarming. Why was he not shot by security?
This is going to give terrorist an idea.
This is absolutely unacceptable.
I agree. The sob should have been on the receiving end of 500 rounds.
Agree 100%
I read that they literally have anti aircraft missiles on the roof of the White House. I can sort of understand how this caught everyone off guard.
The Secret Service needs to make an announcement that any other such incidents will result in the use of deadly force, the do it.
GB is dead to me.
A bunch of our SS folks and their Brit counterparts are going to fry for this screw-up.
From the article:
“..Inexplicably, first U.K. security on the perimeter and then U.S. security on top and around the building allowed the paraglider to fly unmolested over Trump, members of his national security team, senior administration officials and dozens of guests assembled outside, and the building–and then allowed the flyer to escape! “
Who let this happen?
I’m glad President Trump’s Secret Service guys got him to safety.
Will they though? I wish I knew for sure.
I’d fire some Secret Service personnel and then return to the UK.
The SS is reponsible the Presidents safety here or abroad.
It also shows pure planning between the SS and the Brits.
I meant never return to the UK.
I saw on the other thread that the secret service guys didn’t react quickly.
I stand corrected.
The Brits allowed it and wanted it to happen. They’re up to their eye brows into the spying on his campaign in coordination with Brennan and his folks.
Sounds like it was a suggestion of that kind. And England is way too proper now to shoot down such suggestions.
That’s what SHOULD happen, but nobody knows for sure.
MF’s need to pay.
Trump is well within his rights to declare a State of Emergency and deal with all threats to his Administration, foreign and domestic, once and for all.
He has the Marines and the DHS Police.
He should call for volunteers for a PROTECTION FORCE.
The FBI, DOJ, CIA etc., should be considered co conspirators in a coup to overthrow his Presidency.
Mass arrests, seizure of assets, and executions are in order.

Apparently, they let the sob go too.
Search much?

Round up 15-20 Greenpeace staffers and start beating the teeth out of their faces until somebody talks.
