Report on Trump sniper incident
I haven't made an entry in weeks due to health issues (my own and my older son), but just now feeling enough energy for a few.
Here is a preliminary report by the House Bipartisan Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of former President Donald Trump. It seems very thorough. I like:
"The 9th shot fired on J13 was from a Butler SWAT operator from the ground about 100 yards away from the AGR building. Shot 9 hit Crooks' rifle stock and fragged his face/neck/right shoulder area from the stock breaking up. The SWAT operator who took this shot was a total badass; when he had sighted the shooter Crooks as a mostly obscured by foliage moving target on the AGR rooftop, he immediately left his assigned post and ran towards the threat, running to a clear shot position directly into the line of fire while Crooks was firing 8 rounds. On his own, this ESU SWAT operator took a very hard shot, one shot. He stopped Crooks and importantly, I believe the shot damaged the buffer tube on Crooks' AR."
Yes, and how often do you see "was a total badass" in a Congressional report?

I just wanted to wish you good health, as well as your son. And to comment that this attempt on the former president's life is one of the most disgusting things that I have ever witnessed in my over 64 years on earth. One can only hope that when they try again, and I think they will, there is someone with the bravery and the common sense to intervene, as did the unnamed SWAT officer from Butler.
He might have just saved the nation from civil war.
I Was Worried Since You Hadn’t Posted for Awhile.
May You Both Feel Better Soon David.
Best,
Marc
Glad you're feeling better.
Best wishes to the both of you for a full recovery.
Sorry to hear you have been ill and hope that you and your son are on the road to recovery
He should get the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
