Shots fired at Trump during rally

Shooting suspect was killed wearing an enthusiast gun organization tshirt

"Demolition Ranch" owner responds to Thomas Matthew Crooks shooting Trump

Authorities noted that Crooks was wearing a T-shirt from Demolition Ranch, a YouTube channel known for its firearms and demolition content. The channel, hosted by Matt Carriker, boasts millions of subscribers and features videos that explore the capabilities of various firearms and explosive devices.

 

Is this (poster) really downplaying a near fatal head shot? As I’ve read through your many replies in this thread they all seem to have the common theme of downplaying the event. Let’s put you on stage and shoot at your head and see if a bullet grazing your ear is a big deal or not. You gotta let that hate out guy because you are making an even bigger fool of yourself than I imagined possible.

 

I’ve been reading Zero Fail a history of the Secret Service and they have experienced quite a few failures and lapses in protecting their clients. One of the most serious recents fails was when a man with a knife hopped the WH fence and made it into the residential area of the WH (Obama) Another incident was when a guy shot into the Obama WH when their children were there and it took several days for the SS to realize it. The SS pays an inordinate amount of attention to the smallest of details but cannot be perfect. Politicians want to get out among the people but the threats are many and it only takes a momentary oversight.

Now on CNN that Crooks is a registered Republican FWIW.

 

The shooter was your typical right-wing gun lover. The NRA has blood on its hands!

 

This should be played at Trump rallies from now on.

 

A lot of Trump fans on social media are saying his new theme song should be 50 Cents “Many Men.” For those who don’t know he’s a rapper who was shot 9 times and survived. (No ear grazers either, he was actually hit in the face and body 9 times)

 

They’ll claim he only registered as a Republican to throw off the scent and that he’s actually a member of Antifa. Hell, it’s already started, lol.

 

I didn't know that, but 50 cent songs from when I was young I liked.

 

We should Love one another no matter the differences.

 

Almost every on air witness thought it was fireworks and it was sorta far away which made it less obvious.

 

The online videos showed local law enforcement in the area around the buildings. Also, if you recall the videos after the shooting, there was a helicopter in the air. And witnesses told media that they reported the presence of the shooter to law enforcement. Candidate ex POTUS does not get the same level of Secret Service protection as the sitting president. There are obviously a lot of unanswered “how” questions.

 

I am very confident about who you are responding to. But they have me blocked so can’t see. Can you disclose who you are responding to as it would be nice to know.

 

He gave money to liberal causes. Fact is he was just a mentally ill kid.

 

He fired at Trump. If he had wanted to fire at the crepes and kill a lot of people, more people would have been hit.

 

Too little information now.

 

Any piece of evidence to make all liberals look bad will be plastered all over every conservative news channel and YouTube asap. Currently, that evidence is a small donation to a liberal pac.

 

Well we really don’t know. But the one political group he actually gave money to (costing him more than checking a box) was a progressive group.

There are a lot of possibilities.
