It is quite unbelievable how absolutely unprepared they were....how slow they all were to react AFTER multiple shots rang out and trump was already hit. We are supposed to believe the best security team in the world (up for debate atm) could be caught of guard to this degree by a random 20 yr old who likes to watch shooting videos on YT? THE fact that they had all those different police agencies present - local police were informed by bystanders ahead of time and STILL nothing was done til it was too late? I mean my household operates with better communication systems than they do -- and I'm working with children. It's like nobody was in sync .... Now one person has lost his life and two others are fighting for theirs and the front runner in the presidential election was less than an inch from losing his life.
