The brain drain in every department is obvious. How does a building with several of US's move powerful "leaders" get breached this easily. I see only two ways this happens. One: it was staged in some way. Two: incompetent people have taken hold so deeply something stupid like a door was left open and unguarded.
Did it get breached? I’m reading some places that the shooter was stopped far from the event, on a different floor of the hotel, outside of a security check he would have had to get through to get to the event.
Yes. That's true but that's still a massive security breach! It's not like this event was scheduled the day before. They simply could have done a number of things to prevent what looks like what happened. I know nothing about security but why wouldn't they screen every person who's stay overlapped with the event. Why wouldn't they at the very least ensure no guest were allowed in the building during the event? If imagine in the past every room and inch of the building was searched and researched before and during the event. I mean this administration is searching tourists social media before they enter the country and you're telling me no one involved with security background checked the hotel guest list? No one ran the belongings of those guests through the mobile xray and metal detectors? This is a huge fuck up.
Did the shooter have a criminal history to screen for? I haven’t heard that if there was.
I think it would be infeasible to physically search the luggage of potentially thousands of people staying at the hotel. And they can’t tell all the hotel guests they can’t go into the hotel they paid for.
No, it's just a regular guy with no signs of mental illness. At some point during a rise of fascism regular people start attempting to take one for the team.
Anyone have an explanation yet on why he was naked on the floor? Did he run naked from his room to make it harder to grab him or did they strip him down?
Tinfoil hat answer:
The fact that he is alive and did not even catch a bullet shows that it was staged. You want to tell me a guy with a shotgun runs towards American police officers and nobody even shoots him? Sounds fake. They must have had orders to not actually shoot him, stage a small gunfight and then just arrest him. The guy probably got a good paycheck for his upcoming prison time.
The DC, capitol, and federal police are generally better trained, and they're unlikely to start shooting at a sprinting target when there's a bunch of bystanders beyond him. All it takes is one guy to clothesline him.
Who can even tell. American police give stormtroopers a run for their money. They're always shooting each other by accident or detained people in the back or at acorns falling from trees.
the first time was totally staged, why not the 3rd time. of course its to shore up his low support, plus how badly the iran war is going on and hte epstein files, his distractions are only getting more desperate.
Which means if not staged then Trump and his administration should fear for their lives every minute. Because if real then a well planned assassination attempt with someone or (government) could accomplish it. Think if your part of foreign government allies and especially our enemies just how fucking dumb this makes us look.
I still with staged or allowed to happen. No way a true assassin could have done this. Our government tracks everything we do and say. How would you plan something like this without research on the internet? We will find out he had this all planned and made mention of it if not once but multiple times on one of his socials. Yet he was still able to get this close.
Why I call bullshit with all these so call assassination attempts.
Decided to pull the trigger, and give this game a shot.
Not the most competent shooter. It feels rushed, and the strategic elements are poorly planned out. With a bit more time and thought, I think the lone developer may have achieved their aims.
It was a good attempt, but better luck next time. I look forward to this developers next project, whenever that appears. Probably in about 25 years to life.
