No one should ever be happy that someone was shot and an innocent man was killed.
And others were injured just spending time with friends and families and supporting a presidential candidate they came in peace not expecting the wickedness that took place.
But left rejoicing that the lord protected the past and future president.
Please feel free to comment try to be nice.

In 1971, according to Journal-News staff writer John Hyde, the I-75 and Route 63 exit near Monroe had a trifecta of good eating establishments for locals and travelers alike. The list included the restaurant at The Congress Inn which opened in 1965 and was managed by Mrs. E.R. Houston; the L-K Restaurant managed by Jim Gallo which opened only months earlier; and the dining establishment pictured here in all its red, white and blue glory, the Dutch Pantry restaurant. It opened in 1968 and was managed by George Bradley. Specializing in bean soup, Pennsylvania Dutch shoo-fly pie, and apple fritters, the restaurant and gift ship (an early precursor to Cracker Barrel) apparently also had a wicked sweet and sour salad dressing! The chain began in 1945 in Selinsgrove PA when Lottie Kemberling and her son Jess opened their first location. By 1964, the Standard Oil Company of Ohio's (SOHIO) Hospitality Motor Inns division was the largest franchisee of the chain. They were responsible for this location at 150 Garver Road. In 1980, Harry and Leona Helmsley (yep, the Queen of Mean) bought the franchise. In 1983 there were 52 units in 12 states but decline soon followed. This location closed in the mid 1980s and was torn down and replaced by a Perkins which lasted until the early to mid 2000s. It is now a motel site. Currently there are only 2 Dutch Pantry restaurants in existence, both in PA.
