It is ridiculous to criticize the Secret Service whenever candidate Trump is shot at. It is clearly impossible to prevent wackos from shooting guns in the general vicinity of a candidate who travels around in search of crowds. Every morning the local news reports the latest shootings in our area. Guns are fired within a few miles of our Oak Park home every single day. Both of Trump’s would-be assassins shot from 500 yards away. Many Chicagoans live in neighborhoods where they are this close to gunfire at least every week. Because the Republican Supreme Court religiously defends the “right” of sociopaths to buy and carry automatic weapons, abuse of guns is inevitable. Being injured or killed by guns is simply a statistical fact of life in this country that values the “rights” of psychopathic murderers over human life.
