BTW, the cops were there in under 2 minutes but he already killed 5 people.
Just how do you think you would have saved any lives even if you were armed?
Suppose you were in your office, say on the third floor and you had to get to floor 1, that would have taken a minute and by that time those people would be dead anyway.
More people were saved because of the quick response of police arresting the perp.

Sooner or later someone listens.
Don't want to contemplate what the US will go through if the POTUS set in motion a sequence of events that resulted in the targetted murders of 5 people.

He held a personal grudge for several years because he believed the news agency defamed him, and he finally snapped. It has zero to do with Trump.

Apparently it was a Hispanic man, probably white, with a pump shotgun.

Focus on the problem, not the symptom.

or his motive and I had mislaid my crystal ball. And you are totally
correct when you say you are "unsure" - you have no idea.

Nonetheless, the president has indulged in dog whistle politics on numerous occasions.
And to the point that when the shooting unfolded, the thought has crossed the mind of more than a few.
Trumpsters were heckling a CNN reporter at a GOP event earlier this week.
How much farther can it go before it becomes something more serious.
