Especially in the early years of the Vietnam War, African Americans were drafted and sent to combat at disproportionately high rates compared to their share of the U.S. population.

That’s a myth.

The only Trump rally that CNN covered was in Butler, Pennsylvania, where the photographer just happened to have a very high speed camera (8k frames per second).

But I’m sure that was just a coincidence.

A rhetorical question. /s

"Why are major assassinations conducted in the presence of a large number of witnesses?"

Pour encourager les autres, of course.

“And the assassin wants to get caught and have fame and notoriety.”

Thus bringing attention to the assassins personal or political views.

It’s truly perverse.

The security setup at the Utah college venue where the shooting took place was much less than other schools he had visited. Having campus police fly a drone to monitor rooftops or coordinate with local law enforcement to secure the event would not have prevented anyone from shaking his hand but it would have saved his life.

Your personal home? "Properties" is vague.
