Overheard at Restaurant on 2nd attempt

A very senior gentleman and a woman who looked in her seventies were sitting at a table directly across from my sister and I. She started talking about the second attempt on tfg to the guy. She also told him about where the suspect was hiding etc.

I thought watch she will blame the Democrats, but actually surprised me when she said, "well no one should be allowed to own an AK-47." She did say she thinks there is a leak in the Secret Service,that gave away where tfg was,but at least she didn't throw Democrats under the bus.

A huge caravan with flashing lights and blocked traffic announcing his arrival. It would be easy to guess that he was on his way to the golf course.

I didn't get to hear her reasoning for believing that because the waitress came to take their order, and after the waitress left they switched topics.

who I know isn't political and doesn't vote, swears it's the Democrats. As in, it's not even up for discussion. He's all over the place though. I never know what's going on with him.

why did Routh camp out for 12 hours waiting? Wouldn't there be less chance of being spotted by getting in and out quickly?

I wish the waitress hadn't shown up be cause maybe I would have heard her say what made her think that.
