And?

I got that wrong.
It would be 38,000...the yearly total.
Say 10,000 people parading past.
.
And?
The ad would hopefully make people drive more carefully so as to reduce the road toll to zero.

Godz, you're a fool.

Indeed.
I got it all wrong.

I dont think you need a campaign - just much stricter enforcement.

Cops just turning a blind eye to speeding motorists is akin to doing the same with a citizen waving a weapon.

Let me remind you - there have been MANY threats on the current President's life. 

Did they build a fortress when Reagan was shot?  No.  They changed tactics.

If a half swift someone wanted to bomb the inauguration they would.  No fence will change this.  Its the tactical changes that make it tougher - and thus necessitates a much swifter mind.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/16/politics/lauren-boebert-communications-director-resigns-capitol-attack/index.html

Quote
(CNN)Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert's communications director has resigned in the wake of the Capitol insurrection earlier this month, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Ben Goldey had drafted his letter of resignation on January 6 due to discomfort with the way Boebert reacted to the insurrection and its aftermath, the source said, but he waited to officially resign until he could have an audience with the freshman congresswoman, which came on Friday. The source said Goldey wanted to fully explain his reasoning and resign in person.

This follows the resignation by Ted Cruz's communications director, om Tuesday.

And you attribute a “swift mind” to Trump?

High Quality 4K video from inside the riot at the capitol
« Reply #63326 on: January 16, 2021, 10:23:56 PM »

You can hear them bizarrely calling cops "traitors" at the 7 minute mark and chanting "I can't breathe" at the 10 minute mark. 

Also video of bullhorn lady at the 11:10 - 11:20 mark.  She's covering her face so as not to be identified.

Some have speculated bullhorn lady is Boebert's mom.

bullhorn lady is the woman who directed the rioters inside the capitol where to go.

They're fighting cops around the 13:50 mark with a woman saying "Fuck yeah!" as the cop gets beat on at the 14:00 mark.

At the 16:40 mark they start throwing fire extinguishers and chairs at a bunch of police in riot gear.  Guy yells "protect the oath you took you're all cowards".
