    He'll have a huge bandage covering half his head.

    Out of respect for Fatfuck's courage.

    That reads as "Someone got complacent."

    Whole bunch of people are going to get fired, now.

    That said, there has been another underlying thought. Trump's campaign is notorious for not paying vendors. It's notoriously unorganized, too.

    The Secret Service provides X amount of personnel and resources to former presidents and to major presidential candidates. Those resources are then augmented by local law enforcement personnel.

    The Secret Service is still on charge of leading security. Buck stops with them. But it would not surprise me if it turns out a lack of organization/funds from the Trump campaign at least partially contributed to the poor security standards on display.

    I don't think it was a hoax. I wouldn't be shocked if Trump or one of his minions had a role in this happening.

    I’m with you.

    The sniper took the kid out without moving his weapon much.

    They knew about the gunman before the shot.

    Now, what will be the official story?

    No one gets fired.

    If they do, you’re admitting negligence and there’s a family in Butler with a potential lawsuit that would make the NFL Sunday Ticket wince.

    Trumpists in Congress are going to slam fists into desks while silently cheering the outcome. It’s perfect for their klan.

    The ap scenario about the local cop taking his focus away and then him rushing to shoot at Trump makes the sniper reaction where he lifts his head make sense.

    I don’t think they knew in advance and as soon as he saw the shot he took out Crooks immediately.

    I know Trump got his picture.

    But, I also know yesterday afternoon was probably the best example for gun control we have had in a while.
