I think clearing every nearby roof top is just standard practice at a political rally like this, no?

Apparently the shooter was reported to the Police as he clambered up to the roof but they weren’t able to spot him.

He had deferment 5 times - the only fighting he did was in avoiding the draft
Woooosh

Still no word from the current president or vice I take it.
The shooter’s twitter and general bio will be all over social media over the following days, and it’ll be (morbidly) interesting to see how (if) the mainstream media spin or tangle a story.

Blimey. US first responders certainly have a fairly rudimentary approach to casualty care and scene preservation.
Zero dignity given. Poor fucker.

Unheard of? Tell that to Garfield, Andrew Johnson, Reagan, JFK…
BBC's Gary O'Donoghue isn't looking like a man who was expecting to have to do much to camera today.

Political violence isn't really unheard of in US politics is it?

That’s what the commentator on the stream was saying - don’t shoot the messenger - it was in quotation marks to demonstrate they weren’t my words.
I assume he meant violence of the type we are seeing in America right now - where America is now so politically divided that a Candidate gets shot at his own campaign rally - it’s not one nutter acting out of context, there is a sense of widespread potential violence here - especially when you look back at Jan 6 .
Haven’t seen this depth of divide since the Civil war have we?

There's a bit of us all thinking that in a country where guns outnumber people, they could at least learn how to shoot straight...
To borrow that memorable phrase once used about John McCarrick, he looks like a hedge dragged through a man backwards.
