Pic of the shooter after having his head turned into a canoe.

Appears to be a white person. I'm going to make a bit of speculation that the shooter was ex-military. 150 yards away with a sniper rifle?

Nah, the right has been begging for any reason for more violence.

Yup, They literally said it’s only bloodless if everyone else submits. So yeah, this is what the right wants.

I know you think of him as your father, but you seriously need to get ahold of yourself. 

You want me to answer your dumbass question in a thread that is to discuss the situation when my information was just providing exactly that—information for everyone. People want more info and that’s exactly the purpose of me telling you it was shattered glass that hit him and not a bullet. 

You are too emotional about this that you can’t even think.

It sucks that this response is full of snark, but it's perfect given the history of the response to mass shootings in this country.

150 yards….man in Lethal Weapon Riggs hit a guy from a 1000 yards in high wind. But I would think the perimeter that close would have been cleared? That is just fucking bizarre to me. 

[YGIFS 19445]

I mean, politicians give rallies around buildings every single day.  But the access to those buildings is pretty heavily vetted prior to.  This is a fucking multi-modal trailer that anybody can just scale in a matter of minutes.  And oh wait?  It's tan with green trees behind it and the shooter appears to be wearing tan and green?  Who the fuck decided to let those trailers just sit out there?  Not like there's a fucking electrical ID-scan turnstile to get to a fucking mobile trailer.  Even if there was, does "Oh, I'm Doug.  I'm dressed like this with this here bag requesting access to the top of the unit for antenna repairs."  As usual in America, there's no conspiracies.  Only stupid people.

Can you imagine what we’d be looking at if he’d been killed tonight? We might be looking at civil war.

[Old Freak Nasty 697]

Don't think there's any significant electoral impact of this.  Everyone saying "I know who I'm voting for now!" already knew and are probably the most ardent of his supporters.

[chase25 2048]

On the bright side I guess we can classify this as a “mostly peaceful” assassination attempt

Just a sad day for the country and you’re cheering it on. It’s gross

Jan 6 was sad. Today was almost redemption for anyone who didn’t want their country’s political process attacked since actions deserve consequences.
 

But if you think today was sad, then it was always inevitable after traitors followed trump on Jan 6. Babbit, trump,  and their ilk reap what trump sowed with his everyday hate, lying, fear mongering, divisive bullshit.

It may help him in the interim but he will overplay it just like he does everything else. Do you think Mr or Mrs. Undecided Voter sees an assassination attempt and thinks, well now I'm going to vote for this guy. He almost died!

He literally ordered an attack on our political process. My reaction has been the same since Jan 7. Attack my country and you get no quarter. Ever. Same for those want to secede, or failed at seceding 160 years ago, that attack our changing of power, lie about the election outcomes, that demand no bloodshed while boasting that we submit in order for them to take power to create the Handmaid’s Tale. When they tell you who they are, LISTEN.

the traitor cunts wanted today to happen and I won’t even get into the fact of looks like a false flag. 
 

edit: and I’ll be clear. I’m saying today was the outcome that trump has wrought in our country. This started with him. Is it ideal this hate and political assassination? Hell no but it’s the world he created and either people submit to racist facist trump or they don’t. You fill in the dots with what outcomes are left to us normal people. USA USA USA!

Dump Twitter. Elon's site, which already elevates racists and fascists, is going to get a lot worse.

Did you not the part where I said "in all seriousness", meaning I was joking? Don't be a pussy.

[TwiceHorn 30834]

It would be somewhat more understandable if the shots had been taken from 500-1000 yards, actual sniper distances.  SS might be excused for not securing a perimeter that far out.

But 150 yards, on a building that is one of a half dozen surrounding the site, is grotesque negligence.

[Nicole44 21954]

Two attendees critically injured and one attendee dead. Shooter killed. The Secret Service and FBI will ferret out everything to do with all of it. I have confidence they will find out everything. Maybe y'all don’t. No matter where all of the evidence leads. 
 

RFK Jr deserves some form of SS protection. 
his family gave enough to the US. 
 

People can think what they want about the shooter and why and what’s behind it, right now it looks like a failure of SS. I have every confidence the investigation will get to the truth.

Those people are lying their asses off.

[YGIFS 19445]

why do I have a feeling that photo of the bullet passing behind Trump's left shoulder is gonna end up being the equivalent of that guy on top of the WTC with the backpack as the jet was approaching impact?  

Also, rest assured...the identity the SS ascertains off the shooter via DNA won't be revealed for a long while.  There a half-dozen car dealerships and an airstrip within a few hundred yards of the rally site.  All have elevated security cameras to protect inventory.  All would be running on a Saturday afternoon.  Would not be that hard to reverse-locate the guy who goes up on to the trailer.  But his identity will remain a mystery, and even if disovered-who could possibly know his motives will become the tale.  Were I the Secret Service, I'd talk to the manager at Mazda.  But that's just me...

Yeah, whomever is running the SS has to go.  How do you not clear a building/have a guy stationed there when it's that close to the event?  Especially considering it's like the only building around.  

Of course, the SS been fucked up for a long time.  Back in Obama's day they were hiring prostitutes and shit.

I can promise you as a former marine, every single active duty and former marine is saying that exact same thing.  We're morbid people.

10 misses from 150 yards?  Embarrassing.
