We'll probably never know what the shooter's goal was unless he left some sort of manifesto which hasn't been released yet. For the moment it seems like "suicide by cop." Had he wanted, he could have used a bump stock and sprayed the whole venue.

He did not run. Poking his head over the roof edge whilst holding the ladder with both hands, the shooter swung around with a rifle to kill him. As the cop did not have a third hand to pull a quick draw on someone already aiming at him, he ducked. The shooter rising made him visible to the USSS.

Also, please never forget or forgive Trump and his terrible cronies who made that first wave of COVID vastly worse than it could have been. A vicious, miserable pack of losers and failures who should never be entrusted with public office again.

I'm not going to SDCC, but I masked throughout NYCC (and for every other public event I've done since COVID began) & I haven't gotten sick since the first wave, back when Trump's miserable failure of surgeon general was telling us NOT to mask. In short, I highly recommend masking at public events.
Anybody planning to mask at SDCC? I brought thee most horrendous case of covid back with me from NYCC last year and gave it to the whole family. lost my voice for 2 weeks. I hear cases are up again and I would like to avoid a repeat

Sarah Huckabee Sanders told the convention God intervened to save Trump from an assassin. I guess God just didn't care for that guy who was killed.

I had to look up Al Khalil, since I haven't heard of that name. Travel from the USA to the Occupied West bank from is not difficult now (no visa required, cannot stay beyond passport expiration). That changes August 1 when Israel imposes a new Electronic Authorisation scheme. /1

As for Iraq, they require an entry visa and prohibit work. There are exceptions; those are listed on the Iraqi Embassy Website. /2 www.iraqiembassy.us/page/visas-t...

And no one is mentioning that water tower either, the highest object with a line-of-sight and also not secured. This whole thing was a clusterfuque.

So you're one of those settlers you're on about. Then you settled somewhere else? Or maybe it's not the "settle" part that's bad since humans have always migrated since coming out of Africa, but attendant violence if they don't agree to get along.

Tour de France and Olympic athletes are wearing masks because they understand that catching COVID could undo years of hard work and sacrifices.

Yes, thank you. I wonder why so few Secret Service agents were assigned. That's above my paygrade though.

I cannot see what you posted. That person has me blocked.

Secret Service agents are permanently assigned to protectees. Trump picks people for loyalty, not competence. Think VP Pence when unknown Secret Service agents wanted to bundle him away from the Capitol. He refused to go, and stayed with his detail.

On that I'm not going to blame a cop. He's climbing a ladder (both hands occupied) and pokes his head up to see a shooter point a rifle at him. There would be no time to try to stabilise himself to pull a gun and fire.

Governor Greg Abbot (R-TX) said basically same. By that logic, Adolph Hitler would also be blessed by God for surviving his attempted assassination in 1944.
