| Tomer Israeli on security: Everyone is smarter after the fact especially me 😉 |
| 2025-09-14 |
| From Israeli Tactical School Facebook page. Israeli is a former Shin Bet operative. by Tomer Israeli He (Charlie Kirk) had great following one of the most popular social media influencers in US politics especially the young voters. He also got many threats that led to have a fairly substantial security team that try (from my ignorant perspective) to give an answer to close shooter (reaction not so much prevention). My perspective, if you consider a firearm from close distance, why not long gun and etc. From my experience: I feel that Kirk growing in popularity didn’t go hand-in-hand with the increase of the FEEL of the risk (from Kirk perspective or/and his team that we know after the fact) What I’m suggesting given this uncertainty about the FEEL (since risk management is in many ways just a FEEL and we are in many ways manage our lives by the force of HABITS and CHANGE is difficult for all human beings and organizations managed by people) is to apply protocol against a gun threat (short/long). Security is not a rocket science and the most important is to be preventive (since we have close to zero chance to be react faster then a bullet). This protocol exists (it’s common knowledge among pros) and it is SIMPLE to apply but ONE thing is usually the problem the FEEL. People don't FEEL it will happen to them. About the FEEL, I know (reliable source that I trust) that Charlie refused a bulletproof glass unfortunately - what I’m suggesting is simple bring to client attention that the protocol for this type of events require a bulletproof glass against short/long gun there are other layers to consider but as preventive layer I would give it a priority over reactive (priorities are part of risk assessment analysis 🧐) If he refuses like Charlie Kirk did, you can’t do much. I hear remarks from readers and commentators of my last post about the use of drones (as an important layer, I agree but a camera is deterrent and maybe an important layer and it’s maybe effective for example checking of roof tops, but not a clear preventive layer like bulletproof glass - enemy can use windows of buildings or creative hideout ideas (readers may use imagination and creativity to come with ideas). Therefore I would recommend PREVENTIVE layer over any reactive layer. |
