+1. Solidified my support for Biden.

Uhh yeah. SS is a clown show.

The protective detail on the ground reacted with commendable speed, tackled the President, protected him with their bodies (they left an opening at one point going down the stairs, so they get a demerit for that).

The counterattack force in tactical gear responded in time and appropriately.

BUT. The big problem were the security perimeter and the safety checks: they proved to be grossly inadequate. The perimeter should be larger, and clearly they missed a roof. This needs to be remedied ASAP for future rallies of candidates.

Am curious—does security not utilize drones for that kind of thing? You’d think they would have some kind aerial surveillance if you couldn’t get human eyes to see that perspective.

No political figure has ever stoked as much violence as Trump. He’s supported neo nazis, undermined our elections, and stoked violence against his own VP and political candidate. So no, I don’t feel any sympathy for him. What goes around comes around.

We can be against everything Trump stands for but still be sympathetic to the plight of all politicians and rally-goers who are victims of gun violence. It appears that Trump nearly lost his life tonight. One of his supporters died. This is not OK.

Yes, it's well known that Trump has incited violence multiple times and has denied the dangers of Covid such that many of his supporters died of it. You can deplore the act without liking the man. But if you're going to hold the higher moral ground, instead of wallowing in the mud with this guy, then you can damm well express decent sorrow that he was shot at tonight, and that someone died.

I am deeply sorry that one of his supporters died. That is tragic. But that's on Trump. He has incited so much violence that it's no surprise that someone, probably mentally ill, turned the violence on him. His supporter was an innocent victim, and my heart goes out to his family. But Trump is to blame for this. He loves guns, and has outright told the NRA that their guns will be safe as long as he is president. He will not attempt to control guns at all. You reap what you sow. This is all on Trump.

That plus Let’s target Trump speech.

Hmm
Biden folks withheld resources to the detail and they are saying they did the best they could with the limits they had.

Is that a verified account? Probably just more Republican conspiracy stoking.

Luckily Elon Musk & crew can confirm and not scrub it away…

Absolutely. Making it clear who you are and what you think is essential.

The republican trolls have hit this hard because they desperately don’t want people to see this as a product of the constant stoking of violence on the right. Remember, Republicans never take responsibility for their violence. 1/6. Charlottesville. Guns without limits.

Biden assured us he supports the second amendment and our guns would be safe too. Was he lying?

This location was easily secured, not a complex urban space. The shooter was on a clear white roof with what looks like one of the few (maybe only) sightline.

+100%

I entirely agree that this is a security failure. The Secret Service is held to high standards, but as we've seen in multiple crisis situations, including Jan 6, it's comprised of human beings who aren't perfect.

Aren’t a lot of them just drunk philandering cops with multiple girlfriends in various cities?

Wheels up, rings off.
