The family of Corey Comperatore should sue the secret service and the police department according to the evidence of the police being aware of the shooter's presence and yet did nothing to secure the people. The law authorities knew of the danger but only stood there waiting for fate to happen to then do their job a minute too late.

The main concern is not the sites he was on... It's how he knew that roof was ok to be on... Why no police stopped it when they were alerted before the shooting, why the secret service had him in their scope 30 min before the shots... And how he got off 8 shots before they shot him The sites this guy was on mean nothing.... So being a propaganda machine and all the real questions

[@patrioticbeats2089]

The doctors team coordinated with the secret service way in advance of the rally? Did anyone else catch that?

[@LukeOrrOfficial]

Yes... secret service plans in advance of events and those plans usually don't assume everything will go well and nobody will get hurt, that's why the plans exist. Were you implying that this was somehow planned or faked? That sounds like a dangerous conspiracy theory... we wouldn't want to spread dangerous conspiracy theories now, would we? After all, when those on the political right suggest anything that might be a conspiracy theory, social media companies censor and minimize the reach of that content, and Ivy League schools publish articles in scholarly journals detailing all the ways in which engaging with conspiracy theories is a coping mechanism for those of low intelligence to feel as though they possess some "Secret" or "Special" knowledge only available to the elite of society.

[@Mike_Jones281]

Biden offered his condolences to the family, but the widow refused to speak with him because she did not want to go against her husband's wishes. It is still unclear if Trump has offered his condolences yet, which speaks volumes about the two candidates. One has empathy, and the other has a distinct lack of empathy.

[@Moridorable]

They _did_ speak to the family AND raised money for all three families affected. Didn't you watch Trump's speech at the RNC where he talked about it?

[@Mike_Jones281]

@Moridorable They're. I'm talking about 45. I heard he had a prop with his name spelled incorrectly at the convention. Is this true? Offering a few platitudes in a speech is less empathetic than contacting the family in person and providing comfort. If you can't see that, your support of TFG tracks.

Now do Biden hosted a fundraiser in NYC whereas Trump was invited and attended the funeral wake of NYPD Jonathan Diller on the same day.
