Dude is delusional. Would you have stopped the speeding bullet?, or somehow known someone was on the rooftops? Or would you have been down there flexing on unarmed college students?
I agree that it seems the level of security was a factor before, during, and after the event. But anyone can claim "if I was there" after the fact. The takeaway is how this is motivating such groups to get ready for more, an excuse for violence.
Ohhh, you reminded me that after the Parkland shooting Trump said he would have charged in, even without a weapon.
