    It is remarkable he was taken down without getting shot.

    Yeah. One gets the feeling their preference is to shoot. Perhaps there were just too many people near him and an agent happened to be behind him and could intervene physically relatively safely.

    Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.

      And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.

      Sign of the times when a tribalist attempts to assassinate a person as vulnerable to legit criticism as Trump, and their list of reasons includes nothing actually legitimate. Man is our political culture broken.

      Education is extremely important.

          I find the shooter's strategy to run really fast through the first security checkpoint intriguing. He made it through, although I think about 50 feet later was tackled or something. Imagine if it comes out his name is Leeroy Jenkins?

          I didn't read his manifesto, I try never to give the shooters any oxygen (name, face, manifesto...). Clearly I'm having an impact.

            It seems simply true that a larger group of well armed people could have succeeded where the lone gunman failed. Could have checked in the day before armed to the teeth, and could have neutralized the handful of SS agents with overwhelming force.

              He isn't crazy. I can understand dismissing the ravings of a crazy person, but this manifesto was informative on a number of levels.

                True. I bet if a van pulled up and a dozen guys wearing armor and using machine guns, they probably could've had one or two make it to the main stage. Who knows.

                  I agree he’s not kookoo crazy but rather crazed in his very own reality that leads to fanatic convictions and deeds. Probably not unlike your garden variety Islamacist suicide bomber.

                  After all, I don’t think he expected to come out his deed alive.

                  Elbows up!

                    Probably 9 times out of 10, he doesn't.

                      I re-watched the footage as he Leeroy Jenkins'd through security and my previous post is even more valid. All 10 or so security folks are chasing/watching Leeroy... imagine if Leeroy had another dozen folks behind him swarm in, no one would see them coming for a few seconds.
