Holy crap you're right and its so much worse
I wouldn't be waiting to count them to react, the first is the indicator.
Close enough that you can hear it, close enough to go for safety first and assess after.
Tbf, it was "fine" (respects to the family of the guy who did get shot of course), the shooter didn't make it anywhere near soup guy and probably not this guy either.
Shootings get to a large number of casualties when they shoot at unarmed people, this guy stormed a line of armed people, much harder.
At the end of the day it's their gamble to make anyway, but it by itself isn't evidence of a set up, they could just be passively suicidal if you prefer that to logically thinking about the fact that he will not get past the guards.
And threw his life away. What's even funnier, is that he did all that, wrote his mainfesto, and Lemmy doesn't think any of it's real anyway.
So the shooter didn't even get to make the point he thought he was making! lololololol He had a good job, good life. Now he's gonna go to prison for the rest of his life. The republicans will always think he is a sicko. Democrats believe he was just a plant. Best justice ever! lmao
Oh I'm not saying it was fake, I'm saying the lack of response is a complete lack of self preservation.
Reacting is the typical response. That's all.
Some are lol. I mean you're not wrong it is "normal" but also not necessarily a lack of self preservation, could be faith in the Secret Service. Or faith in The Lord™ I guess, maybe he believes and doesn't mind meeting him lol.
