Is someone actually dead?  My first thought was it’s a work. 

MIL is ninety, and still sharp, and that was her immediate reaction.

But, at least one dead. Also, the shooter is dead.

this is so on point for the Sim. Next up is the grandstanding on how violence is how the left will intimidate you, steal your vote, and will kill you if Biden wins. I am just curious about good the acting comes off.

I'm out. my brain can't take this soap opera of stupidity. Ya'll homies fight the good fight, whatever that looks like. 

The real silly shit is just about to begin.

2. Threat to peaceful transfer of power in USA.  Like him or not, we decide leaders at ballot box, not with violence.

To make this point about the man who instigated and perpetrated January 6 is the height of irony. Take a bow!

It’s truly hard to fathom the SS not covering this…

[SubliminalHorn 6,815]

False flag. That’s how it works right? It’s fake

Wasn't the angle to the rear and right of him?

Did Kennedy or Reagan mock political opponents for getting beat with a hammer? Did they say if they didn’t get elected, the country will cease to exist?

maybe think before posting 

I am.

I’m saying they were shot as well.  And they didn’t use the rhetoric that Trump does.

It’s the world silly.

[Hank Kingsley 21,062]

Truly pathetic shit from the Secret Service.

So how does it work?  By reports (which I realize can change) suspected shooter is on roof 150ish yards away that isn't being covered with boots on the ground and within a matter of seconds he is taken down?  So does SS have snipers covering said roof and if so wouldn't they have seen somebody up there before shots get fired?  If no snipers and no boots on ground on roof how does somebody get taken down that fast?  

According to the one interview above, people were pointing out the shooter for over a minute to LEO and SS Snipers. So that probably had glass on position trying to access the threat. That is a failure. Also, not sure how much extra SS coverage Trump is getting. I believe that comes from the current Executive Branch.

Yeah that doesn't make any sense. Plus it didn't look like it got hit by anything

It does beg some questions.

Either this is a legit assassination attempt, or it's something bizarre and in a weird way maybe even worse.

This feels like a bad turning point.

Like, what if the shooter is Russian, etc.

[Hank Kingsley 21,062]

ABC reporter now says Trump says he was hit by a bullet. 

[Gil Bang 26,060]

Widely reported that shooter was taken down by SS "Counter Sniper".  Like "James" on the water tower in Big Jake.

Agreed...if something related to this isn't reported by a major news reporter and confirmed separately by another, don't believe anything you hear or read. The propagandists are already organized to blame "antifa" and randos who attended the rally today are predisposed to believing conspiracy theories IMO.

Also: Endorsed.

The fact that we will all get to listen to folks like Trump, MTG, and Ted Cruz complain about the toxic political climate over the next few days is enough to drive a man insane.

Coverage is also provided by local law enforcement.   Trump has a habit of stiffing towns on the costs of his rallies.

While I’m willing to believe that the gqp would be willing to sacrifice a few radical volunteers or unknowing poor bastards to further their evil agenda, I’m not willing to accuse them of it at this time. 
 

i would like to hear how an elevated position 150 yards away was uncovered, and I guess the guy was going for a head shot because how do you miss a trump sized target from that distance. 
 

It also would be real dumb to have anyone shoot a live round near him for effect. 
 

I guess Occam’s razor, there was idiocy afoot.

I'm still processing it, as we all are, but anybody celebrating this is an idiot and an asshole.  Somebody just took a shot at a former president.

Yep, unless you are team Civil War, you don’t want to see this and the escalation that follows.

Could have been a fragment after it hit whatever directly.  If he’s not just making shit up.

If he said it, then we know it’s more likely the exact opposite is true.

To me it just doesn’t matter that much but I would like to know for certain.

[jimmyjazz 46,303]

Regarding the tin foil:

- Trump would not be part of this.  Nobody is going to go William Tell's target assuming just a nick on the ear (worst case).

- the shooter would not be a sacrificial part of this, unless 72 virgins were promised

 

In short, "false flag" feels absurd.  It seems to me that this is incompetence on the part of the Secret Service and local LEO, nothing more, nothing less.

I understood what you meant. Your comparison was silly. Suggesting they are similar is silly. Hence my reply. 

What is more likely? The shooter was trying to impress Jodie Foster, or an immature narcissist, or maybe, just maybe, the shooter actually believes Trump is a threat to Democracy?  My point is there are conspiracy theories about why Oswald shot Kennedy or Hinckey shot Reagan because there wasn’t an obvious reason. 

Is anyone having trouble coming up with a motive of why someone would try to assassinate Trump? Everyone knows why

I've been banging the drum that weve been on that path since Jan6 and the prevailing opinion was always that the opinion was alarmist. 

We've been on the street fighting phase of the descent into fascism for a while, and now that the ante has been raised I won't be surprised to see draconian measures put in place by a potential future trump child rapist presidency
