3. I wonder if Trump will get the jump on the news cycle again by claiming he knows the

gunman was one of his supporters before that is determined by anyone else.

6. Hope the MSM doesn't make him out as a Sanders supporter before

knowing anything about the situation or the perp.

11. Another site is saying it is a diversion from Trump's NRA speech.

One forum writer wants a military coup:

To: Bratch
well, maybe someone is at least trying to fix things for this country. Not that I agree with that tactic, that is the responsibility of the US military. I wonder when they will start honoring their oaths to this country. Obviously to the military commanding brass, they no longer put the country before self or the WH tyrant but they will burn any troop who does the same.

4. I'm calling it:

Depending on whether the identity of this person fits with my biases then I am certain that one of the two following statements is correct:

1. This confirms everything I've ever said about some group of people I don't like, or

2. The guy musta been a nut.

Obligatory jab: Any freepers gone missing today?

8. Right. All we have to do is take a quick look around here. n/t

12. The last time this happened,

which must have been an entire two weeks ago (maybe three), it was a guy fleeing after a bank robbery, or something like that. He decided to take a shortcut through the grounds of the Executive Office Building. Bad choice.

Nonetheless, the incident kicked off the usual "this just proves my point" posts.

I'm going home. Not through the White House grounds.
