We are living in a war zone and pretending it is something else other than that. People are shocked into momentary awareness, then fall back asleep. The war isn't going to stop because people fall asleep.
To me this is an even bigger shock than Trump assassination attempt
- It actually worked
- He was 31
- He wasn't even a politician. Just some influencer with a podcast and YT channel and who liked to argue with college kids. We at the point of assassinating influencers now? That feels like something that would happen in Iran or something.

And nothing on a suspect yet, or where the shots came from. I feel like we had some info by this time during the Butler attempt.

Butler had much higher security, since it was a presidential candidate. IIRC the shooter was actually killed at the scene by a sniper.
Dude today was just an influencer on a college campus. You shouldn't f***Ing need snipers, or even any security at all, in sane times. But we don't live in sane times.

Yeah, that's been going on for around 8 years or so in earnest--and really far before that. There are many Aaron Swartz's out there.

Situational awareness is a good first step. Before a thing happens, there are usually multiple kinds of events signaling there could be trouble. Notice those signs, and act accordingly.
