Administration officers (not together with Mr. Patel): they’re targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest

Secret Service: they’re targets provided that essential, and to be incapacitated non-lethally if potential (aka, I hope they’re sporting physique armor as a result of middle mass with shotguns messes up individuals who *aren’t*

Hotel Security: not targets if in any respect potential (aka until they shoot at me)

Capitol Police: identical as Hotel Security

National Guard: identical as Hotel Security

Hotel Employees: not targets in any respect

Guests: not targets in any respect

In order to attenuate casualties I may even be utilizing buckshot slightly than slugs (much less penetration via partitions)

I might nonetheless undergo most everybody right here to get to the targets if it have been completely essential (on the premise that most individuals *selected* to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor, and are thus complicit) however I actually hope it would not come to that.
