one has to go through massive security at the Holocaust museum. HOW did a gun get thorugh

[greenbriar]

it boggles my mind

[rockymountaindem]

1. He probably attacked the checkpoint itself n/t

[Taverner]

7. He did - his first shot was at a security guard

[Hassin Bin Sober]

2. He started shooting right as he walked in - before the metal detectors.

3. How intensively do you think they checked an 89 year old?

:shrug:

[BOSSHOG]

5. Especially

a poor, harmless, frail 89 year old white supremacist. I recall the right wing hate machine go apeshit about screening lil white grandmas at airports as being so horrible.

6. Two years ago,

they checked my 87-year-old Aunt Helen, even as she joked with them in Yiddish.

They check everyone.

I can't even imagine what rush hour is gong to be like this afternoon..............

4. I read that he had a rifle, and, living here,

I am simply unable to understand how he even got NEAR that place carrying any kind of long gun.

Unbelievable.....................

8. Shotgun, actually. Yes, a "long gun." I bet one of the off-duty

security guards or police officers saw him go in with it. Phone interviews with museum visitors said it happened at the entrance as they were leaving.

9. He could have had it down the side of his leg,

inside his pant leg. His age would suggest arthritis or stiff knees if his walk was odd. But I don't see how he could get it out quickly unless his pants at the waist line were loose, held up by suspenders.

10. Long brown coat. n/t
