I'm just sad that the shooter was killed.

Look, I don't agree with their methods, but they've got grit. I like that.

It sucks that they were ultimately unsuccessful, but personally, watching secret service fumble about trying to shield Trump while he pumped his first in the air was pretty hilarious. He was just shot, and instead of being concerned for his own safety, he's like "hell yeah, 'murrika!".

I'll add that my sympathies go out to the victim's that actually were shot, not just grazed. They were not the intended target, just caught in the line of fire. Whether Republican or Democrat, losing your life simply because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time, sucks. Condolences to anyone who lost someone in the event.
