And the "Maybe's" and excuses start.

How long before one of the LSD groups announce they have purchased the building and are turning it into a shrine for the shooter.

#2 Can't understand why the Secret Service didn't use surveillance drones. They are not expensive and easy to use and you can attached AI modules to ID 'possible' danger.

Maybe there is a law that prevents this but I have looked a bit and can't find any.

#5 Also, it was a pick-up team with an inexperienced coordinator. Lots of dropped balls that day.

#6 The Butler Township cops are pushing back on the idea that they were the ones that screwed the pooch

My personal theory at the moment is incompetence, combined with indifference to doing the job, seasoned with some actual malice.

Whether the shooter was led along similar to the Gretchen Whitmer fednapping plot remains open.
