Just for the record, I'd like to point out that the parade route was guarded by trained, armed police.

When a shooter has the firepower to hit 30 people in 7 seconds and get away, a good guy with a gun is irrelevant.

Shots ring out from the rooftop, dozens of people in the crowd drop to an alert crouch, producing pistols and even the occasional semi-auto rifle, begin blazing away at wherever each thinks the first shot has come from.

Can this prove out to anything but tragedy limned in farce?

It's your fault if you're unarmed.

After all, this is America.

Not that everyone being armed would have made it better.

Vote Democratic while you still can. Nothing will change until the republicans have no say in your life. Just sayin'.
