Did the Democrat elite just get a reality check on their assassination fantasies?

It’s all fun and games until you’re trapped in the room that’s targeted. And that, of course, is also when you learn that all cops are NOT b*****ds.

Last night, the third foiled assassination attempt against President Trump was, thankfully, foiled. I wonder if their proximity to danger (and it’s clear that many journalists and political types in attendance thought that their demise was imminent) helped these elite, effete types realize that their overheated fantasies and rhetoric have real-world consequences that could affect them.

Just because I so much appreciate the incredibly swift reaction of the agent who seems to have been shot, here’s the attempted assassin trying to speed his way through security:

After the dust settled a bit, the president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, Weijia Jiang, gave two statements. In both, she comported herself with dignity, but she was obviously shaken. After all, because she sat immediately next to Trump, she could have been the next Corey Comperatore.

My thought was less dignified. Jiang’s history as a White House correspondent for CBS shows that she’s long been hostile to Trump. Therefore, I consider her part of the “stochastic terrorism” that has resulted in three assassination attempts against Trump.

“Stochastic terrorism”? Huh?

This is a leftist academic phrase that appeared when conservatives spoke out against drag queens in schools and other trans madness. If a leftist accuses you of “stochastic terrorism,” he means you’re creating an intellectual environment in which you don’t have to pull the trigger, but you’ve primed someone else to do so.

In other words, you’re Charles Manson, rousing his followers into a murderous frenzy. Of course, as with all things leftist, the concept of stochastic terrorism is pure projection. The elites in the Democrat party, both in the media and the politicians, have been seriously guilty of stochastic terrorism when it comes to Trump.

What I wondered after last night’s events is whether Democrats’ proximity to the gun has helped them understand that assassination is not just a quick, easy way to get rid of a president they hate. It is, instead, an act of bloody violence with terrible downstream consequences.

I'm seeing the Secret Service taking a lot of crap this morning because the shooter got through the front door, but not much past that.  The Washington Hilton, where the dinner was being held, is not built to be locked down hard, which makes Trump's ballroom look like a better and better idea.

Seems to me that the security actually worked in thwarting this Democrat would-be assassin, with the agent who got hit even quickly recovering and helping take the perp down.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't?

I agree.  The pointy headed press core was more worried about their fat asses, after the fact, than how the SS handled the presidents security.
