How was a 20 year old with no military experience or anything able to get past secret service and police officers?!

You told us about the AR but what about the ladder. What type of ladder? one that you can easily put on top of the car and drive for an hour down the road? Is it his dad's ladder? What year was it purchased? Do we have video evidence of the purchase? Home Depot? Lowe's or Contractor's supply house? Is there any video of him carrying the ladder to the roof? Did some just leave the ladder propped up on the side of the building for anyone to use? Was it a permanent ladder? telescopic, or folding? If the ladder is over 10 feet, adjustable and was used to commit a crime is it now an assault ladder that should be banned?

MENTAL HEALTH AND BULLYING - My brother was handicapped and bullied every day in school. I lived with him and witnessed what it did to him. He had a heart condition on top of looking different. He was a straight A student. He was a kind soul and I always gave him support at home. It changed my life, and I know that adults and children can be vicious from being bullied. Everything that happened here in this historical day is about “bullying.” Kids are not born vicious, they are taught through their home life sometimes, parents, their environment, bullies at school, and teachers that do nothing about it. Our schools need to change - BULLIES NEED TO BE EXPELLED FROM SCHOOLS. This is a "mental health issue" in our schools. I went back to college for a second time for literature. I am writing a novel about how kids should treat each other, and their environment. I hope I can make a difference - even if it is a small difference!

Because everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened. This boy asked and chose badly, to be feared and admired by the stunned, he looked for a weapon and called for death, but the doors opened in the darkness. What nonsense. I never read and respect the advice of the Bible.
