Probably a politician. They're renowned for not getting it. 'Oh, were we expecting visitors today?'
"He has a gun" has to be the most blatantly self-evident spoken in the US.

Most people are blissfully ignorant of their surroundings at the best of times. Look at the video of the Toronto van attacker's arrest. People milling about clueless for a few critical seconds while an officer holds the driver at gunpoint only metres away. See 0:24 of this video.
I responded to a B&E at a bank one night, first member on scene with a visible smashed glass entry and possibly someone inside. I was standing there in full gear pointing a C8 at the entry waiting for backup. Some rando walks up, sets face to stunned, and she asks me “I need to use the ATM, can I go in there?”
So yeah, the body language of bystanders can tell us things are bad, but is seldom useful in trying to determine if things are good.

The range of emotion - dismay, shock, contempt, and despair - that I conveyed in a single word answer of “No!” beggars belief.So....did you let her go in???
I imagine very similar to how I said no to my son when he asked to take my car to Montreal with his friends the day he got his driver’s license…talking to an adult but like dealing with a child.

I post this article for informational purposes to keep up with the current court actions. I see it as a court correcting an action of a lower court.

Two questions:
1. will they hand out medals/medallions?
2. If Trump loses in November and the same thing occurs on Jan 6, 2025, will anyone who participates twice be awarded a bar?
I mean, I could see him selling them, but definitely not giving them away.
Bibles, shoes, why not medals?

And the strangest thing about it is that it's from the US government.

In exchange for a tax-deductible campaign donation? Just thinking outside the fundraising/insurrectionist box here.
