Did he kill himself? Or was he killed by the cops?
Secret service got him, he was only at 100 yards
Wasn't he a rank amateur? I really hoped they would try to get him alive.
He was shooting into a crowd of people, at least one person was killed. Shooting back at him was pretty much the only option
In the same breath, libs will thank the Secret Service for immediately killing the shooter and also say "violence is never an acceptable response."
That's probably the most succinct way to state the contradiction. You're OK with taking out an active shooter, but not with taking out someone who (as libs love to tell you) is about to hurt or kill people all over the world?
they literally did say that in the interviews 10 minutes after it happened
From what I've heard on Lemmy, he was killed by the Secret Service after he made his shot.
