Definitely. But it’s good to know the Secret Service is more proactive about controlling the security perimeter than they were at the beginning of the year.

…the FBI is now leading an investigation into the discovery. FBI Director Kash Patel said the hunting stand has not yet been connected to any individual.
"Prior to the President’s return to West Palm Beach, USSS discovered what appeared to be an elevated hunting stand within sight line of the Air Force One landing zone," Patel told Fox News Digital. "No individuals were located at the scene. The FBI has since taken the investigatory lead, flying in resources to collect all evidence from the scene, and deploying our cell phone analytics capabilities."

How far away from the deplaning point was this "hunting stand"?
I have seen mention of 200 yards. Corrections welcome.
On one hand, it *is* deer season, with blinds and tree stands going up everywhere. On the other, looking at Google Earth, the area around the airport seems pretty city-like and generally you cannot hunt inside city limits. It is enough to make one suspicious.
Idiots. Still, the natural consequences follow naturally. Lets check back in six months to see if they still want it.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] One of New York City's most violent neighborhoods has banned uniformed police officers - all in the name of safety.
A two-block corridor in a crime-plagued stretch of Brownsville, along Mother Gaston Boulevard, where shootings and robberies have long terrified residents, was declared a 'police-free zone' for five days earlier this month.
Instead of officers, community patrols moved in under an arrangement funded by the city itself under a controversial initiative known as the Brownsville Safety Alliance (BSA).
The project, once a twice-yearly pilot under former Mayor Bill de Blasio, now runs four times a year and aims to prove that residents can keep the peace on their own.
During its latest operation, from October 7 to 11, uniformed officers were told to stay out of the two-block zone, within the NYPD's 73rd Precinct, from noon to 6pm, leaving a community group called Brownsville In Violence Out to respond to nonviolent calls.
A flyer posted in the area declared that 'no on-duty uniformed members of service are to enter this area unless responding to an extreme police emergency (e.g. person shot, stabbed, etc.),' adding that the initiative was being 'monitored at the Police Commissioner level.'
The sign was first reported by retired officer John Macari on his podcast and quickly ignited fury within NYPD ranks.
'There is no police free zone,' an NYPD spokesperson told the Daily Mail.
'That was an unauthorized sign that was posted, and the signs have been removed. Nothing has changed about our operations or deployment there.
'We can't control if people choose to call 911 or not, we can only control how the calls are routed, and the NYPD is not passing any 911 jobs to these groups. The NYPD is handling all calls for service.'
One police source warned the experiment 'has the potential to go sideways quickly.'
'This is the way that this new guy wants us to go,' the source said, referring to Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, a self-described socialist and rising mayoral frontrunner who has praised the program.
'The brass are trying to appeal to him. It's insane,' the source told the New York Post
Dushoun 'Bigga' Almond, the program director for Brownsville In Violence Out, confirmed that Mamdani has backed the concept and even visited one of the police-free zones last April. Of course, he brought his own armed security
'He believes in what we do,' Almond said. 'They're not gone, but they give us our room to control the block.'
Almond said his team, around 20 community members, handle low-level 911 calls like 'a disturbance in a store' or 'guys drinking on the block.' or "Bodega selling pork"
'We use our credibility,' he said. 'We try to alleviate the situation. There's really no pushback because they don't want any problems.'
Each event includes tables for locals seeking help with healthcare, housing, addiction, or employment.

OK! Ban the cops.
Without the COPS, now the HONEST Citizens can arm-up and start shooting the Thugs. Without having to answer to the LIBERAL / Socialist Democrats running things, and protecting the Thugs with swinging door courts.
But likely the NYC Politicians would then pass a law making leaving a dead body in the Streets a $1,000 disposal fine and hire a litter patrol squad to enforce it ☺.

Don't upset the tribals b/c they might start raiding and acting up and generally becoming ungovernable.
Tribes used to protect their tribes from other tribes. Your tribe got along with other tribes, or your tribe risked being wiped out. You got along, paid tribute, left the area, or died - that was the math.
Now my tribe works against me. But I remember the stories of the before times of my great grandfather and our previous high trust society.
No one locked their doors, keys left in the ignition, local convenience stores gave you credit.
Today our lives are upside down. I didnt do this. We didnt create this. 1965 did. Their policies did. No one moves to Liberia, Haiti, Burkina Fiso - why? We all know why. So why are we allowing our previous beautiful cities to imitate the third-world and be run into the ground.
I think the 1965 race riots which scared all the white to the suburbs was planned. Where we are as a society, seems vey calculated. Very insidious.

In the early 70's, Half Street S.W. in Washington D.C. was unofficially declared a police-free zone by MPD. Driving a unit there quite often resulted in vehicle damage from thrown half-bricks by local "youths" up on the roofs. In those days they didn't want us there and we privately agreed with them. Gentrification and cleaning up of M street along the Navy Yard brought an end to that stalemate.
