Hey man, not my bag.  that's just what Hinkley said before he tried to kill a high-value Presidential target.  One think Hinkley and Trump have in common, aside from being on both sides of an attempted assassination.  They both wanna fuck 12yo girls.

Well that’s a shame.  Trump went and got some bystander killed.   

He also got a couple of his cultists killed when he refused to return his stolen classified documents. After the FBI served a warrant at Mar-a-Lago to retrieve them, some nut assaulted the FBI field office in Cincinnati (with a nail gun). The other guy tried to run a barricade near the Capitol, his car caught fire, and he shot himself as the police approached.

And then of course there were the 4 deaths that resulted from his insurrection on Jan 6.

Why’d they let a sniper get on the roof?

My theory, made up this instance:

Some cop was supposed to be on top of that building, but he had to have a smoke or a vape and check Facebook. And ladders are scary. Then when he gets around to it, he sees that a fellow officer in tactical gear is already up there, and says fuck it and mopes off to some shade.

That "fellow officer" turns out to be the shooter.

If this theory turns out not to be true, I will be amazed, because it combines random upfuckery and sloth and social media addiction.

Also, as mentioned, 150 yards with iron sites is not too hard at all, on a range. Maybe he didn't account for being higher up, and so his shots flew by at head level instead of hitting the body. You or I would probably be too jacked up on adrenaline to aim precisely, but if this guy's a psychopath, as assassins and CEOs tend to be, who knows if he felt anything.

Yeah, I repeated in your mom's "basement" last night.  Wait, what were we talking about again?  Oh yeah, why your protection detail holds you up like a "Participation Trophy" after a literal "Assassination Participation Trophy" guy missed the state title 8 fucking times.  

What the fuck with this simulation?  It was the weirdest ending to a sports-drama movie ever.  "Hey, he's gonna lose but say he won.  And he's injured.  And we're supposed to get him to the trainer's room.  But first, for no fucking reason...let's lift him up in celebration despite the very distinct possibility he'll receive a more consequential blow to the head.  And he's already slow to begin with, go team!"

On CBS News they speculated that Trump’s SS detail in PA might have been lighter than usual because some of them are in Milwaukee overseeing security arrangements for the convention. 

[SurlyGator 822]

The first time I saw the video I thought (and still think) that Trump pausing for the fist raise photo op was selfish and put his security team in danger.  He's not a small dude, so they may have been unwilling or unable to physically overpower him and force him down the stairs without risking injury, but he should get an earful from somebody within Secret Service for that moment.  He has had a detail for close to 8 years now, he knows the procedure.

Trump is the only one who openly advocates violence, promises pardons to his supporters for carrying out violence, and mocks his political opponents when they’re the victims of violence. That’s the real sickness. Trump. You know, the guy who incited an insurrection and tried to overthrow the government when he lost an election. His goons beat up cops and sought to commit violence against elected officials. Trump calls them patriots and hostages and promises to pardon them. That’s sick as hell.

Joe Biden tried to call Trump. He condemned the attack. If the same thing had happened to Joe instead of Trump, you know there’d be no way in hell that Trump would reach out to Joe to show his concern. Trump is incapable of empathy or consideration for anyone else’s wellbeing, particularly a political opponent’s. You know damn well he’d call it a hoax and say it was staged. And then he’d complain about how unfair it was to HIM.

All the replies to Biden’s tweet about what happened and offering sympathy are maga accounts accusing Biden of inciting this violence without any sense of irony about their guy Trump being the one doing that since 2015.

Reagan visited Purdue when I was a Sr. in HS, landing at the WL airport.  The Secret Service was all over the crowd, etc.  At one point, Reagan went "off script" and stepped up on the door sill of his bullet proof limo.  EVERY secret service agent instantly became 1000% more attentive.  He went off script.  Not good.  I am sure he was chastised for it.

FIL's friend was a SS agent under LBJ.  If the POTUS goes off script, the SS lets him know.

It’s illegal for drug addicts to buy guns. They just fill out a form and do it anyway. No one goes to jail.

Yep. They’re full of shit. They fight his attempts at gun control. They think it should be easier for everyone to own a gun. And ironically, thanks to Trump’s Supreme Court, if Joe had sent Seal Team 6 to do the job then Trump would be dead and Biden would be immune from prosecution. That’s the ruling they wanted and Joe condemns it.

There's literally a city in Indiana named "East Chicago."  There's a municipality that has HOA's and utilities that breach into Wisconsin in Lake County, IL...an hour north of Chicago, called "North Chicago" with it's own City Council and tax base.  There's a separately codified township called "West Chicago" way the fuck out in DuPage county, again about an hour away from the Loop with its own government and tax base.  Sadly, East Chicago sank to the bottom of Lake Michigan around the time of Atlantis.  But when the gun folks decry, "What about Chicago?"  They have no idea the geography or demography of what happens there.  It's just a metonym for ignorance.  Now then, what's this I hear Paris, Texas isn't in France?

Also do we have any idea how the shooter died? Who shot him?

According to some rando interviewed by the BBC, it was Secret Service tactical.

Of course he also said they were watching him and others outside the security perimeter and he was pointing at the shooter crawling on the roof of a building about 50 feet away and was ignored. Some heads need to roll at Secret Service for sure if this guy is telling the truth

People at the rally say it sounded like a .22. If it was really was then I'm surprised how accurate the shot was.

Of course others were speculating it was some type of AR. Whatever it was will come out eventually.

[Nicole44 21,954]

I wonder wheee we would be if RFK had lived. If MLK had lived. If JFK had lived. I think most of us know that it was CIA related. I just wish they would open the Kennedy files. We all deserve to know. I hope RFK jr gets a detail at least now.

Sorry if I’m jacked up. I’ve been sober over two years and this is normally where I’d get drunk and get in trouble posting. I’m just freaked out and worried about all the other potential people who could be targets. Depending on who the shooter is and motivation behind the shooting and if there are more shooters waiting for more targets. It’s upsetting so I hope I don’t piss anyone off. Not my intention.

I thought occasional (read daily) bad actors with guns were just the price of freedom for us to be able to take on our own military when needed. So a few dozen kids get shot and it’s oh well what are ya gonna do, but Trump gets almost shot and it’s look at all of this violent rhetoric from the side we oppose that’s caused this!
