BH glad he made it out alive and unhurt. There is no doubt about it the authority must provide better security especially in these unpredictable crazy times. Unfortunately when it comes to large events extra precaution needs to be taken. under cover police patrolling the event and snipers from the roof. So if there is an active shooter he could be neutralized Immediately. However as we know our politicians won’t do any of this especially the current Administration a charge. They will play The Tragedy for political gain and scream and scream about getting rid of all firearms. Except theirs and their security after all they’re special and we’re not…
