The lapses that have happened in the past obviously haven’t been corrected. From this first hand account, it sure seems like it was way too easy.

Trumpp will probably use this as a justification for his new WH ballroom.
It would avoid a lot of this issues that this guy brings up.

Yes I believe that narrative already started. However, is he only going to go to the ballroom for things? He’s already been exposed at an outdoor rally, and at golf. The ballroom only truly makes a difference if he doesn’t go anywhere else. The descriptions of the protocols of lack thereof in the article I posted are quite concerning when you know no President is going to want to sequester at the White House every day for four to eight years like as if they are on house arrest. I really don’t think this guy should have been able to get into the hotel with the weapons in the first place. It was long known in advance that the President and others were going to be there, it should have been locked down.
Also, after continued incidents overall it would be foolish not to reevaluate protocols at the White House when evaluating protocols elsewhere.
Was the shooters plan really to run past the security check?
I’m also surprised he shot two rounds but was not shot to death himself…
How would anyone know?
I’m not sure how he would come up with this plan without taking this into account.
Here’s a guy with a masters degree but he didn’t think about getting past the security check?
Point is, we don’t have any idea what his reasoning or goals were. Even so, you’re assuming he was thinking rationally while doing or planning something irrational. At the moment, all we can do is speculate.
EDIT: I just now saw reports that some manifesto or at least portions of one have been published. But still we can’t assume that he was thinking rationally.

Gang,
Read the guy’s manifesto at the Ny Post website
This is what a CalTech education delivers.
I couldn’t post the link here because it contained a forbidden word.

My biggest takeaway (other than it’s obviously disgusting that this was the way he chose to “fight” back) was him mocking security and the incompetence in that space. Not a good look to say the least.

I see nothing that shows school indoctrination, can you explain what I’m missing?

Unless there is something super specific that we are missing, let’s not chase that.
He was corect, with a plan of just running by SS, they would have to be incompetent to have let him get close
Kinda funny how he calls the guys that beat him, caught him, and cuffed and stuffed him before he could kill anybody “incompetent.”
I mean, if they were incompetent, yet still good enough to stop him, then what does that make him by comparison?
Talk about a sore loser.

Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance.
I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat"
How is he wrong?

Was he carrying it in plain view or was he hiding or concealing it in some way?
He should never got the close. I’m glad they got him (and clearly that unit was on their game) but it’s wild to me that anything like that could happen where the president was speaking, especially after what happened the last couple of years.
Just crazy.

He’s calling out the same thing, he seems surprised by how easy its been
And everyone was saying that before they knew about his letter/manifesto.
It’s been pretty clear that this was really botched.
