Video shows moment shooter tried to storm White House dinner, officials say | White House correspondents' dinner shooting

In box we trust!

Not just any rod, it’s an inanimate carbon rod!

Inanimate cardboard box

What’s hilarious is that from the shooters social media, he believed the Virginia attempt was staged. So he’s willing to do it, but not willing to believe it might happen.

It was staged in that, they knew he was coming. So they had the president go to something he hasn't been to before and waited for him to arrive. That's why they were so quick with saying assassination attempt with shots fired. That's why all his personal information was out within an hour of our happening. It was never about what actually happened, but the narrative they could spin to get something out of it. For instance in a day, congress found the money to create trumps new bunker.

And the cop in the foreground doing the first shooting is firing right in the direction of other people.

So basically there wasn’t really a shooting at the WHCD. They shot at someone, but it was more just a guy running in.

Sean Curran the secret service director was on TV saying the shot was from the shooter shooting someone at point blank range

[removed]

no, it actually hit the officer in his line of fire in the chest. you can see him drop to the floor and another officer drags him out. remember the officer was shot by friendly fire?

Well, sometimes bullets just disappear.

So it was a false flag with blanks fired?

You'd be surprised at just how bad law enforcement is at using their firearms anywhere but the range. When they do hit someone twice it usually means they they emptied their magazine, which is often 19 rounds.

Different day to day interactions on the job might have something to do with it. Yes the Secret Service agents should have actually taken down the threat, but their day to day interactions and feelings are wildly calmer than a cop who is threatened everyday. The anxiety and interactions officers have while on shift makes many of them more prone to wrongfully shooting someone/something because they're on high alert for so long. Secret Service agents posted this far away from the president, at an event like this, and especially under this admin, are probably much more relaxed. They just weren't ready for a threat. Yes, cops should have more (or any) required mental health screenings and therapy. And yes, Secret Service agents should be ready for a threat at all times. But here we are.

Police dogs probably get more training than actual police these days.

Handlers are used to telling the dogs when to signal so they can manufacture probable cause. Not used to listening to real signals.

This reference makes me giggle every time, I can hear it so perfectly haha

He tripped and fell. That is why they got him. They fired off six shots, and only hit themselves.

Everyone but the one guy noticed once the shots were fired by the cop and he was almost all the way past them. Not a single shot hit the dude. I used to run security for high profile Hollywood events. This is a MASSIVE failure. Don’t get it twisted just how huge a failure this is. When we ran movie premieres we had multiple layers of security people would have to pass thru. You had low level stringers on the sidewalks and outer perimeter and then you had another layer of security past them on the outside of the red carpet. Then you had people on the red carpet and at the entrances and exits. This included the Globes and other events at The Beverly Hilton, which like this location was a hotel open to the public and guests while the event was going on. If this was at the Globes at the Hilton here in Beverly Hills, this guy would have been intercepted at far outer perimeter before entering the hotel or at worst, by someone inside the hotel located in the lobby or the outer service exits and entrances. If this dude was armed with IEDs or grenades and knew what he was doing, he would have stopped before entering this security checkpoint at the entryway in the hallway and thrown explosives or gas/smoke/flashbangs out and either incapacitated or disoriented the security here and then made his way into the ballroom. If he had accomplices he could have done that and flushed POTUS and other HVT’s out thru the exits to be met by other armed individuals. And in addition to what happened in this hallway, way too much time passed from the moment the first shot was fired to the targets being removed from the ballroom. This whole thing was a f****** shitshow and frankly they’re lucky it was just a single untrained crazy idiot and not an individual or group of individuals with training. Keep in mind we’re literally in the middle of a war right now so security should be turned up to 11. All that being said there’s no reason this couldn’t have been easily secured properly and there’s no need for a f****** ballroom and we shouldn’t be making the White House a compound that the public is never allowed access to. The White House was specifically built to belong to the people, just as much as to our elected officials.

>Security is 90% smoke screen, 10% action. Not really when its the president's security.

Teacher tutor, they both start with T so close enough! ^^^/s

How else will we call education liberal indoctrination?

Would-be shooter or potential shooter

Gun runner

It has to be, right? No visible gun before he entered, then he suddenly had it out. Unless he walked into another room, inside that room, it looks sketch as hell. Like, I can't rule out Trump's Security details being insanely incompetent since they screen them to make sure they are Trump supporters but man, it just looks so weird.

Because the handler was probably confused as he didn't give the signal to generate probable cause.

This needs to be explained.  All these assassination attempts seem to have examples of incompetent security involved.   

Remember the fuckery with Pence not wanting to get into a secret service car on Jan 6? Whatever happened with that?

\> not quite what we’ve been told. I think it’s more like “not quite what they used to be.” All of the highly capable, highly experienced agents have been weeded out and replaced with sycophants who pledge absolute fealty to the regime.

The rot at Secret Service can be directly attributed to them being DHS instead of Treasury (which is a) where they belong as their secondary job is prosecuting money laundering and fraud and b) they were a lot more professional in Treasury).

Please use USSS as the abbreviation for Secret Service. SS would imply another organization that was in Germany.

Apparently in his manifesto one of things he complains about is their lack of security. He never should have been allowed in that hotel or he should have been relocated to another hotel. Instead he checks in with a massive obviously large weapon and no one stops him, check him or anything. Dude was on an FBI watch list and able to check into a hotel a president would be at. 

What's the matter? Are you chicken?  Coo coo ca cha!
