Mamdani could file charges against that audience member who threatened to shoot him. That was a terrorist threat. But good luck identifying a random person.

You'd think surveillance would be pretty thorough at any event the President is attending. Or have they learned nothing from previous assassination 'attempts'? No bulletproof glass, either. That precaution didn't last long.

If only there was infrastructure for identifying and tracking potential terrorists and criminals.

Nah, let's use it for identifying and tracking protesters or police officers' crushes.

Even if they were able to identify, the GOP would just cover up and protect that audience member.
