This video shows what would happen if a bullet clipped your ear lobe. The shockwave going through the head is so obvious, there's no way a human would react the way Trump did. It has to be debris either from the teleprompter or a bullet fragment. Go to 7:30 for the test footage.

 

 

Wait, so you're telling me that a bunch of obvious Trump supporters got conned by Trump?

What are the chances?

This is the thread for all discussion around this event.  There are rules for this community including not wishing death on anyone.  Anyone posting anything encouraging assassination attempt

This attempt is a consequence of Trump’s increasing rhetoric of violence

It's just exhausting. Ever since he came down the escalator everything has been exhausting.

This is the video I didn't wanna watch to get put on a list lol. 

Eh, I watch Herrera's stuff (along with Garand Thumb, Kentucky Ballistics, The Fat Electrician, etc) all the time.  Right along with The Daily Show, Pod Save America, Behind the Bastards and Trae Crowder.   I'm probably on all kinds of lists and when they cross check me, the NSA is like "WTF".  Especially after they compare all of that with my Pornhub search history.

Chatter on twitter says Pete Souza took a hi-res photo of dotards undamaged ear and posted it,  and his account disappeared 

Souza said earlier today he's the one who deactivated his account. I think he was getting death threats from MAGA fuckos.

Gonna watch gymnastics but prior to that have been watching the hearing with the SS part 2. The concern I now have is the fact that these public hearings tell me a lot about the vulnerabilities the agency has in protecting their charges. One their methodology is to provide protection from the in looking out to a potential threat. Two they don’t have the capabilities software wise to be on the same channel as local LE that are used when a VIP travels. The information LE had about suspicious guy becoming a threat (meaning he went from suspicious guy with range finder acting weird to then becoming a threat by climbing on the roof and getting in shooting position) never made it to the SS. At that point LE was engaged but SS did not know. They cannot have some kind of “key” to tap into local channels/frequencies when they travel so they can all communicate together. 
 

I don’t understand all that. But it should make people worried as they rely on local LE when a VIP travels. I wish that wasn’t made public just now I guess.

Thanks for the update. I'd been wondering about the comms between locals and the USSS.

From what I gleaned in an article yesterday, a local SWAT officer took the photograph below from the warehouse behind the building whose roof was used in the assassination attempt. After taking the photos, one of the locals went down to check him out as a suspicious character, but he couldn't be found once they got down there. The next thing they all knew was that Crooks was already up on the roof. It's kind of crazy to me that they didn't keep at least one set of eyes on him the whole time.

My understanding is that the shot above was taken from a second-floor window of this taller building. Had someone been up there throughout the incident, there would've been an unobstructed view of the other building's roof the entire time.

Not really surprising info about the shooter:

https://www.mediaite.com/news/fbi-deputy-director-trump-shooter-believed-to-be-author-of-anti-semitic-and-anti-immigration-posts-online/

While the investigation is not to determine motive, the investigative team continues to review information from legal returns, including online and social media accounts. Something just very recently uncovered that I want to share is a social media account, which is believed to be associated with the shooter in about the 2019-2020 timeframe.

There were over 700 comments posted from this account. Some of these comments, if ultimately attributable to the shooter, appear to reflect anti-semitic and anti-immigration themes to espouse political violence and are described as extreme in nature. While the investigative team is still working to verify this account to determine if it did, in fact, belong to the shooter, we believe it important to share and noted today particularly given the general absence of other information to date from social media and other sources of information that reflect on the shooter’s potential motive and mind set.

Can a bullet graze you and do as little damage as these pictures suggest? Like, wouldn't you lose that portion of your ear, even if you're just grazed? 

I don't think so. Ears are kind of weird, but there isn't a bruise or anything.

That's singularly unimpressive. CNN calls it "dramatic." A bunch of panicked, dumbass cops yelling at each other.

That's what police normally call "Tuesday", or frankly any other day.

Part II, The Sequel.  Down in Flurrida

Interesting that all the news went into the 2024 Election thread.  I guess assassination attempts are just part of the landscape now.

CNN claims it is with and AK47 style rifle with a scope and at a range between 300-500 yards.   What assassin would not use a bolt action rifle for that situation? 

I don't know what real snipers use, but it would seem to that you will get one shot off before all hell breaks loose and the target is whisked away to safety, so ditch the idea of firing multiple rounds.  Use a larger caliber rifle from a stable position with a scope from a farther distance.  Aim center mass.  You could aim for the head but it's smaller and moves more than the chest.  This is like Day of the Jackal level of stuff for any FBI agents on this thread.

he's got a pretty solid insanity defense

Quote

Routh was a supporter of Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley, according to one of his posts in which he encouraged the Republican presidential candidates to continue their races. “You cannot quit. Why. You must stay on the ballot to the end. You must fight. You must continue giving speeches and push all the way to election day no matter the election results. Do not give in. Join Nikki and keep working. Never give up,” he wrote.

You can't really get an accurate second shot, with recoil any faster with a semi-auto.

Nonetheless:

I was at a restaurant for the Chiefs game earlier today. The televisions all cut to the "breaking news" then immediately went back to sports.

It seemed everyone in the place had this reaction.
