Two rally goers injured at July Trump rally intend to sue

[fernweh]

They say the Secret Service failed to protect the citizens and are looking into who they can file a lawsuit against.

1. The secret service isn’t there to protect citizens; they are there to protect the political figure they are assigned to.

2. You support a party/candidate who want to let literally everyone have guns with little to no control, how do you feel you have the right to sue when someone used a gun for it’s intended purpose?!

I am raging at this right now.

I lament the basic misunderstanding of standing. Sigh.

The bolded is where I lose ALL sympathy.  this is going to happen more and more the less gun control there is.  People say that want this, then they get shot and want to sue. 

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS with no gun control!!!!!!  Assholes.  Idiots.

No words no sympathy.  If they want to keep busy maybe they should sue Trump.

So they DO want gun control, they just want it to be retroactive and only when they're personally the beneficiary.  Got it.

Tots and pears.

These motherfuckers probably worship Alex Jones and think that Newtown was fake. Fuck these guys. This is the epitome of “play stupid games, win stupid prizes”.

Thinking the secret service is there to protect regular citizens is right there with thinking a business can’t censor you because of the first amendment.

It would fill my cold, cynical heart with such joy if these maggot people at an Orange Menace rally being shot at by a white R-voting citizen forced the gun manufacturers into liability payouts.
