27. That's a lot of "inferring" with no evidence at all - and you've got your facts wrong

First of all, he wasn't fired. Second, you have no evidence that he "sat on his ass." Moreover, the investigation has barely begun so your inferences are premature.

I don't have any evidence of anything - including his training what exactly he did during the shooting - which is why, unlike you, I haven't passed judgment on him.

But you're doing a beautiful job on behalf of the NRA. They're probably delighted to have folks like you to do their bidding on DU.
