I come to the states and hell breaks loose.

I’m in SF.

I guess the shooter doesn't get to go back through the course at Quantico...

Meanwhile the white house is happy something happened which will take the spotlight off of Biden’s age. At least for a while.

In no way does this game out in the left’s favor.

[George K]

One report says the shooter was taken out by a sniper.

Yeah, it’s his definitely saves him from tomorrow morning’s Sunday media buffet.

Could it have just saved him the nomination?

Rumor:

Trump's security has been asking for beefed-up security. Requests have been denied by DHS.

Question:

How is a rooftop, 400 feet from Trump not be secured?

NBC is interviewing a local woman saying “there’s too much hate. It has to stop. “.

She’s wearing a KNOW YOUR PARASITES t shirt.

Have to wait and see. Don't know the distance, angle, wind, etc.

Had I wanted to, I could have nailed Clinton back in the 90's. In those days, I could hit a bowling pin at 300 yards. I was watching him from a third floor window as he was speaking in front of Air Force One, distance probably 300-400 yards.

Wasn't a single Secret Service agent in the building. There were a couple of sheriff deputies.

I was astounded at the lack of security at that distance.

[Mik]

I don’t say that because he missed, but because he kept shooting and killed someone else.

[Horace]

A great deal of civilization rests on agreement to be civil.

[Mik]

A large percentage, yes.
