Funny thing is, there was video of a sniper literally watching the shooter as he climbed up on the roof, he only shot after the shooter started shooting. That’s why he was killed so quickly. The sniper was a guy.
So, by Republican logic, I guess we should have less male agents, right? Since male snipers just inherently can’t pre-empt a shooter even when they’re looking directly at them.
(Sarcasm, obviously)

You got a link to that video?

I saw it as part of a Majority Report video analyzing some of the information around the shooting, but I time stamped the specific part where they play the clip of the sniper in the above link.
Bridge fails in Baltimore? Too much effort on diversity.
The only road into Jackson Hole WY gets washed away? I guess the federal government has forsaken red states.

certainly there’s some group of people out there who want your company right? go be with them.
it’s not here.
Mr Trump, who is 6ft 3in tall.
Yes, I am also much taller than my real height.
Did you notice how when he was being shot at, the first thing he said was “let me get my shoes”? He’s such a diva that if anyone had a chance to see his real height or snag one of his pumps, he’d be devastated.
Thank you! To me his first words after being shot were much more iconic than even that fist-flag-photo.
“Wait Mr. Secret Service Man, I can’t go anywhere without my slutty little heels.”
- Donald Trump, paraphrased, immediately following an assassination attempt
Fuck you Telegraph for putting that pejorative in your headline.
“Diversity hire” is the new N word. It’s a racist dog whistle used by christofascists.
So anybody who isn’t a white male is not qualified for any non-menial jobs?
I’m a woman, and I just CAN NOT with your ‘logic’ on this.
Allow me to tell you why.
widely shared online footage of a female agent’s apparent struggles to holster her weapon after the shooting in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
I’ve shot a shot gun, handgun, rifle, revolver, pistol, and I think a machine gun? (At a shooting range obviously. Was on a date oddly enough lol)
OUT OF ALL OF THOSE GUNS, DO YOU KNOW WHICH ONE I COULDNT HANDLE?
The revolver
I was ignorant to the incredibly powerful recoil on this gun. The smaller a gun, the more powerful the recoil is gunna be. Because as you shoot, sense the barrel and weight of the gun is less, your fucking upper body and arms take what a longer heavier gun would take.
The entire time I shot all these guns, of course, I had assistance with the dude. I went on a date with he showed me and you know, assisted me and stuff.But for the most part, after I had the hang of each gun, I was holding it standing and shooting it on my own.
But immediately when they gave me this gun, the guy on I was on a date with came and held my upper body and one of the guys that worked there held the other side of my arm that was holding the gun, I thought it was kind of ridiculous.I was really excited to shoot the little gun because it’s cute.
That’s the gun that I wanted to buy, it’s you.Because it’s smaller, and i’m girly like that.Leave me alone, all right.
But both of them we’re assisting me.I didn’t ask.It was kind of annoying, and anyway when I was ready to shoot that gun through me and knocked me on my fucking ass.
That first shot I was like, I don’t want to do this anymore with this gun and they kept telling me not to give up so I went ahead and tried it again and I could not handle that gun. I only tried it 2 more times after that. Because they were encouraging that I could do it, and I was so angry and upset that gun That little itty bitty, gun, it’s so powerful. You could blow your damn hand off and break your own nose.
Not to mention, I have extremely weak upper body strength, especially in my arms, especially in my arms, they are the hardest part of my body to work out. I can use like 5 pound. Weights, for maybe like 10 cent. Sets before my arms give out, I hate it.
Women have stronger lower body strength. Men have stronger upper body strength. Okay. So the point that they’re making about her not being able to handle her firearm. Yeah, that’s an issue. Okay.I’ve experienced it myself, so don’t try to make light of it
Who asked?
Diversity hire or not, shes the chief, the buck stops with her.
Must be tough putting your life on the line to protect a child rapist
Regardless, thats her job. If shes not performing her job properly, she should be replaced.
I remember 9/11/2001.
After the attacks, the GOP was pushing two ideas at the same time. Clinton was responsible for 9/11 because he’d had opportunities to kill bin-Ladn while he was President AND that Bush shouldn’t be held responsible because he’d only been in office for 9 months.
Ye olde Republican playbook: everything good was us. Everything bad was them.
