@Wormwood The big takeaway here is that it is now public knowledge that someone can get *close* to shooting a presidential candidate. Conspiracy theories about it being allowed to happen (possible, sure) aside, America has had a lot of political tension for a long time, but the only violent actors so far have been glowie-groomed speds on the right, directed at unimportant, highly-sympathetic targets, and total retards on the left who either attacked random schools and shopping malls or got popped before they could do much of anything.

If they really did allow this to happen, it doesn't seem smart. What happens the next time a far-left judge lets off a guy who murdered a kid for political reasons, like that guy in North Dakota? A lot of guys think: "Hey, I'm probably more capable than that leftie guy, and some random judge is probably less secure than a president."
