mcgeo52 comments on Jul 12, 2021:

As a rule, I do not condone shootings by police officers. After reviewing the evidence, I make an exception in this case. If you watch video of the shot being fired, it was clearly fired by someone wearing a white shirt and dark blue or black suit jacket. That is not the way Capitol Police dress. However, it is the way Secret Service agents dress. From everything I have seen and read, I believe that Pence was in the room just inside the door that the mob was attempting to breach and that the shot was fired by a Secret Service agent protecting Vice President Pence from the mob. Given that my analysis is correct, the shooter was not just defending himself, but also doing his job and defending the Vice President.

In early April the White House, under Jared Kushner, was actually putting together a reasonable program to deal with the virus. This included mailing masks to every home in the country. Then, days before the first masks were to be mailed, reports came out that the virus was effecting people of color worse than white people, and it was hitting blue states harder than red states. Within 24 hours of those reports coming out the White House did a 180º on their attempts to stop the virus.
