I'm going to call the soon to be obvious 'gunman shot by police/himself or hung himself with his hands tied behind his back'. Nothing more to see here.

Media frenzy for this event will make a great distraction from the cancellation of the shit show military parade / ego stroke.
Otherwise they may actually have to cover those nationwide protests with millions of attendees planned. Their corporate masters wouldn't like that.
A little too convenient.
State law enforcement here in Minnesota has told protesters not to come. All politicians who were scheduled to speak will not be showing up.
Wanna bet that a curfew is next?

Honestly this is scarier than something bad happening in either of those two other events. But I agree... as they say "the revolution will not be televised"

Kind of strange, these don’t seem like the high profile people that usually attract the nutters. Almost wonder if it was personal but apparently the guy had a whole list so that might be less likely.
