They can’t put themselves in someone else’s shoes.
Like, the sniper even saw the shooter, realizes it’s an actual shooter, and pops his head up from his scope to look at him seconds before the first shot.
There is a delay for humans where your brain has to think “is this really fucking happening”?
trump has done an insane amount of these things. And there’s never been a shooter. So when one finally shows up, people don’t just immediately shoot. By the time they realized what’s actually going on, shit was too late.
She’s looking at it with the knowledge afterwards that someone is actually going to do it. And not if they have to be sure before they shoot someone. trump rallies are full of idiots climbing on shit and being idiots.

Exactly this. It’s really easy to look at the situation afterwards and have trouble believing how it could have gotten that far. But that’s because from the outside we don’t know how many incidents they have narrowly avoided or how many potential incidents turned out to be nothing.
This is also classic conspiracy theory territory. Could it be that the world is complex and scary? That even trained secret service agents make potentially fatal errors? No, because we can pretend that even though there was a shooter it was all planned and under control. Somehow the idea that things like this are under the control of some malicious enemy is more comforting than the horrible unpredictability of it all in reality.
It’s 0% empathy again.
