      Columbus Ohio cops, like 20 minutes away from the convention center (on foot, as the pig waddles), on the other side of I-43, just declaring open season on the locals

      They've pulled in cops from around the whole region/probably country (I saw one from as far as georgia). The feds threw $75 million at EACH convention just to cover security for this year

      Unicorn Riot has good coverage of it

      it serves as training for the pigs to bring the latest tactics back home to use on their locals

    WTMJ-TV noted that the shooting happened at 14th and Vliet streets, where two men were fighting with knives. The scene is less than a mile away from the Fiserv Forum, where the Republican National Convention is being held.

    Leave it to the pigs to bring a gun to a knife fight, smdh my dick head

    I just want to rip my hair out honestly. Watching yesterday the trump family gleefully fist pumping chanting and clapping while their demon of a father was elected as the republican nominee. We were so close to getting rid of the guy and it backfired spectacularly, and now he's going to go on a tear in his presidency which Biden has handed to him. Anyone else feeling this shit?

      I mostly have just been shitposting to prevent the dread from setting in. Schadenfreude at libs eating shit can only go so far though, it's gonna get really bad

      I literally cannot care at all. He’s not going to be any worse than Brandon was. Same old shit. He’s already been president once and the world didn’t end, it was just the same shitty empire hulking on as always

        the drastic changes in media coverage between the debate and the shooting makes me think that might change, but we will see

        I feel like that debate was so awful for Biden that everyone that would already have been behind Trump was already behind him, and the assassination probably only solidified the support.

        And the polls already say Trump wins so it's still not good news for Biden.

    This nation is on a hair trigger (even more so than usual) after the assassination attempt. Be careful out there because every cop in America is extra paranoid right now.
