Could it be that the FBI is in such disarray that the investigation was hampered in getting off the ground? Targeting some old guy and keeping him locked up for a while simply because he was a wingnut from the left does nothing to raise the confidence level people have in national law enforcement. Kind of strange action when the picture of the shooter was already in the public domain.
I don't know why anyone should have a problem with prayer vigils where people, of their own free will, demonstrate their feelings for the victim. I do have a problem with our government making a spectacle of transporting the remains of a controversial private citizen on a government plane. I also have a major problem with our elected officials taking over the highly partisan podcast of that same controversial figure. Can anyone point to a similar occurrence at any time in our nation's history?
Nothing to be concerned about that watching the video on something larger than a phone can't solve. The guy jumping off the roof clearly has a long dark object as he approaches the roof, as he rolls off the roof and drops to the ground and as he gets up and runs across the lawn. No need to tear anything down and reassemble it.
Keep the people divided is all part of the political playbook. It's now just on a much larger scale, trying to incite one side to take out the other. The majority of the extremist murders in the U.S. are committed by radical right wingers, but the president goes on national TV and excuses them, saying they are just people that don't want to see crime but that the radical left are the problem. Edit: A DOJ report which showed "far right attacks continued to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism" was pulled from the NIJ's website within about 24 hours following the kirk shooting.
It 100% is a mess. And it’s mostly due to decisions made over the last 6 months. Knowing people who are involved, it’s quite scary how people were removed / replaced, and why.
