Why am I not surprised?

It has been reported that the shooter was killed and one secret service agent was shot.

Update: Now they are reporting that the shooter is in custody. So obviously they don't know what the hell is going on.

"The suspect in the shooting is 30-year-old Cole Allen of Torrance, California", three sources told CBS News.

That figures. I don't know if it's true, but I hear he was the teacher of the year. Most of the really nutty people are teachers in California.

Registered democrat; contributed to Kamala's campaign. Typical loser.

He was teacher of the month, not teacher of the year, and that wasn't this year.

I realize Our President doesn't use buffers or a large degree of finesse when speaking but this is
America and even he has the right to speak as he feels. If we all took firearms and began shooting
everyone we disagree with - can you imagine?

Housing prices would go down.

Someone on Fox is talking about the difficulties in vetting everyone who has a room in a hotel like the one this event was at. However, when Clinton came to the Rio Grande Valley of Texas while he was president, he decided (not as a scheduled stop) that he wanted to eat at a large Mexican restaurant in Edinburgh, so the Secret Service vetted everyone who was there, making several customers leave. Local opinions weren't very good. One published comment was that because Clinton wanted to eat at a Mexican restaurant, all the Mexicans had to leave.

I like your come backs, makes me feel at home here

He rushed the secret service checkpoint armed with guns and knives.

He voted Democrat and was from California.

From the LA Times article: "Allen was named teacher of the month in December 2024 at C2 Education, which specializes in college test preparation, tutoring and academic advising."

So not really a teacher in the ordinary sense.

In other words, he rigs college entrance exams in exchange for money.

Free parking in LA? I thought they already do that.

I think the homeless has those lots.

That female agent is almost entertaining. Sights on a concealed service weapon and holding it like it might bite.

He got an F.

Funny thing. Trump is a convicted felon. He may no longer carry a firearm. Of course all of his security can. Kinda proves the idiocy of gun laws.
Trump obeys the laws but most criminals do not. More idiocy to adding more gun laws.
