Bob, it looks like someone is going up the roof…
Oh okay Bob, well keep an eye on him…
Looks like he’s got some sort of weapon…
Yes Bob, but lol he didn’t bring it fully assembled!
That’s funny, I don’t think it’s loaded from the looks of it Bob.
Hold on Bob, I think I see him loading it up but it looks like he dropped the first round. Should we do anything?
No Bob, like I don’t think he’s gonna do it. I mean, look at him, all acrony and shit. Oh looks like he managed to put a full clip on it.
Bob, you remember your first clip? Wasn’t it a magical moment? It was for me Bob…
Well Bob, looks like he’s getting ready for something.
I think he just wants to watch the speech a little closer because he is adjusting the scope a bit.
Do you think we should ask him nicely to put the thing on safety while he watches the speech?
Nah! Oh shit, did you see? He shot!
Yeah but he missed. Should we shoot back?
These moments shall go down in history. Probably in the grade 10 bigly history of his trompiness book. Everyone will be going to Trump’s Ear 👂 memorial HS. The ear library etc. and we’re still going to have to pay back student debt and have no social security or healthcare. Plus thanks to our alliance with our friends China and Russia, we’ll be at war with Germany. But at least all gays and grannies would have been deported to Cuba and the Internet would have no dicks or tits at all. The end!.. Okay Billy time to go to bed! Hey I’m not reading you another one! I’m tired! I got torture class in the morning! And they brought really bad criminals this time…they smoked marijuana!
Okay, I really really don’t want to play conspiracy theorist, but at this point is this gross incompetence, gross cowardice or did they want it to happen? As more details come out with the timing you have to ask wtf going on?
Open carry is legal in that region. The shooter was well outside of the rally and well within his 2nd amendment rights to be open carrying.
A rational person would say that he voided his rights as soon as he started eyeing the rally through his scope. But the ‘goodguy with a gun’ cult is far from rational.
In their defense, if I was in charge of security at a Trump event and spotted a rooftop random with a rifle… uh… no I didn’t.
Usss done fucked up.
Yea, that’s plenty of time to get someone to investigate odd behavior. Obviously hindsight is 20/20, but you see stuff like that, have an officer go investigate and continue to keep an eye on the person. And yes, I get it’s easy for me to say that now we know what happened, but it would be a reasonable response.
Also, I know an officer did go up there and got a rifle pointed at him, but the situation should have been handled then, not after things went sideways. By either that officer or the counter sniper watching, who should have been keeping an eye on the situation.
They’re all thinking, “hurry up kid, shoot him”
