[Secret Service spotted Trump rally shooter on roof 20 minutes before gunfire erupted]

So either the Secret Service is completely incompetent or they were somehow in on it? (the latter being highly unlikely.. why would they choose a 20 year old kid to do the job?)

I'm still waiting for all that great, amazing punk rock we were supposed to get starting from 2017. Suppose I could make some myself. If not for this crippling ADHD & chronic mid-grade depression.
