    Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called on Americans to reject division and violence following the incident at Trump's rally tonight.

    "Now is the time for every American who loves our country to step back from the division, renounce all violence, and unite in prayer for President Trump and his family," Kennedy said in a post on X.

    Take the off your maga hat and read the posts man. There are several posts in blaming the left. None of this is helpful.

    So many are posting updates of multiple people down, suspect apprehended, suspect dead .. Please post your links when you do that so we're not posting something a friend said on Facebook ....
    thanks

    A state agent with training and resources behind him wouldn have done more damage. Unlikely in my view.

    I'm sure info about the shooter will come out at some point. Hard to interrogate if he's dead. Self inflicted or did LEO take him out?

    My first take was it must have been a very low caliber rifle or pellet gun. I think that explains the reactions.

    At this moment, no one here knows who did what nor why. It's all conjecture. Carry on.
