It's actually pathetic how quickly blood and a dead man quickly turn into political bullshit macho martyrdom. That shot will be an 'unofficial' campaign t shirt by the close of business come Tuesday. The oddest thing I took from it live was "get my shoes" and the female agent actually bending down to pick up his hat and how they all stopped there. I remember watching live when the assassination attempt was made on Reagan. The 24/7 entrenched and seething tribalism, the whataboutism and the endless tinfoil hat default reactions were not around. The rhetoric the tit for tat mind set is ramped up every single day. No matter the actual facts to come out by actual investigation, a large swath will never move themselves from believing that the POS killer was a highly involved covert "deep state" pawn. While another group are convinced he was just some troubled deranged loner trying to impress the girl around the block.
