People need stop being such snowflakes. Whats the big deal about making fun of someone who almost died?

The amount of landfill-level discussions over the past 24 hours (social media) make me glad I'm apolitical :lol

Too bad the shooter was a social loser. He could have grown up, got an education and used his forehead as landing pad for Chinooks.

People filming the shooter crawling around on the roof, trying to tell cops. It wasn't just that whacky redheaded guy, tons of people knew, including the police and secret service.

The review of this is going to be something worth following

Trump thread 2.0
 

Another thing to discuss is the accountability that the U.S. Secret Service have in this big security breach.

Biden ordered an independent review of the security precautions, the security parameter, anything to do with security at Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania.

You can bet that someone at the Secret Service, will need to testify before Congress about the security lapses.

Hard to believe that U.S. Secret Service did not do a security sweep of that building near the rally.

They should have at least did something to block the sight lines from the building rooftops.

The shooter Thomas Crooks also had bomb making material in his car and at his home. That is messed up!

Love Elon Musk going full at bat for Trump now.

Also promoting the idea that the Secret Service is in shambles because of a focus on diversity hiring. Not even hiding his pointy white hat anymore.

The Secret Service wants to have 30% female agents by 2030... Is it sexist to only want big tall men as agents?

Diversity doesn't just mean male and female... and yes it's sexist.

RCMP has tonnes of female officers, I worked with many of them and wouldn't mess with any of em... same for little asian guys, they might be a little bit shorter but it's all training at the end of the day.

Ok, but it still seems strange to have a set target for diversity. The one news article I read said the female SS agents had an eaiser physical test then the men. I didn't validate that claim, but if true, is crazy

oh is it that the majority of the people in the crowd didn't run away and yet pulled out their phones to video the scene?

what the fuck are people thinking??

Ehhh.. when it’s as important as the secret service, I think diversity is the last thing you need to worry about.

If you can be physically overpowered by someone else, you’re likely not suited for the role. A lot of the female RCMP officers I’ve seen around I could all but guarantee I could overpower in a struggle. Top that off with woeful training and you’ve got a recipe for disaster that has been demonstrated numerous times in the past and well documented.

At least with the VPD the women they hire always look like legit Constable Psychopath and it seems like the VPD are generally trained better than RCMP

A male cop climbed to the roof of the building saw the shooter and went back down. Cops at Uvalde shooting stayed outside the door while the shooter killed kids. Physical size means dick all if you are a coward.

Cool

I don’t know what to say to this post, you have no actual facts to back any of this up.

I’d say it’s the either way around, RCMP are trained better than JI does, but you’re saying the opposite… based on? I mean I worked in and around them for 10+ years… just cuz you didn’t like how the Nova Scotia shooting was handled?

I think you should try overpowering a cop sometime and see what happens. My guess is you’ll be rolling on the ground tazed at a bare minimum lol

Great, Trump picks a complete nutjob in JD Vance as his VP.

What a surprise.

JD Vance

- anti-abortion -- check
- anti-LGBTQ+ -- check

- against providing US military aid to Ukraine
- suggests Ukraine should concede some territories to Russia

- does not believe in climate change

- called Trump "America's Hitler" in 2016

God Bless America... FailFish

Bra.. it’s basic physics.. you think a 130lb person can overpower a 280lb person? Highly unlikely. Yea no shit if someone tazed or shot they have a disadvantage.. lol

There’s plenty of examples of on-duty officers being overpowered by regular civilians..

https://www.theprogress.com/news/rcm...c-stop-1843055

The point being.. if your only job is to block bullets, or be a physical barrier between you and the person your protecting, size matters.

JD Vance is an interesting pick because he's what the MAGA crowd hates: a Yaleeducated elite.

Vivek would have been a better pick even though he's considered an elite as well. The man knows how to talk and is a great messenger, but I assume his brown skin was a DEI liability.

And btw, this is plain crazy because BlackRock has been linked to the CIA and government black projects. This further feeds into conspiracy theories, but rightfully so because it's a very bizarre coincidence...

That’s what training is for.

You gonna hire some 7 foot tall 325lb monkey on the force and keep em ready to deploy to any situation that a big enough bad guy is causing issues? Don’t be ridiculous lol

That is not the secret service’s main role. Protection is a lot more than jumping in front of bullets.

It is crazy.

Crazy to believe the US government would hire a 22 year old basement dweller with amateur shooting credentials to take someone out.

After more facts came out, I definitely don't believe it was "staged" anymore but wow things sure worked out conveniently for Donny boy... perfect timing on all fronts.

stop! it ... Im at work
