    I don't understand how that roof with line of site was NOT covered gross incompetence by ss and law enforcement in light of the other videos that have a guy saying he was pointing out the shooter to officers and SS agents for 2-3 minutes before the shots and they did not remove Trump from the stage.

    Just jumping online after dinner with my wife and son.

    1. Great work by a non TooHot mod who jumped in here and cleaned out the trash in this thread early on. On both sides.
    2. It is pretty sad to go back now and read that trash. It explains why we are in this mess as a country.
    3. Sigh

    Same ol reckless hyperbolic buffoonery that resulted in today. Your idea of level headed = the cone heads.

    I honestly thought staged event at first. Like with a pellet gun or airsoft gun from just out of view. Thats what I thought just purely from the first video I saw before reading anything. The way the crowd hardly reacted was weird to me.

    But apparantly a person inside the rally died instantly of a head wound, and a couple others wounded so a real gun was used from a decent distance. Probably more than a .22 since it had some range. There is no doubt it was a legit assassination attempt. Unless the police are falsifying dead bodies, but then we are going into 92Gator territory with the crazed conspiracies.

    Sounds suppressed or small caliber like you say. If were an unsuppressed rifle caliber such as 5.56 or 7.62, there would have been a stampede I think.

    Shooter was approximately 150 yards away. To my ears, it sounded like a suppressed semi auto rifle shooting supersonic rounds.

    Trump is extremely lucky to be alive. At that distance, a good shooter generally isn’t going to miss a target the size of a person’s head.

    It’s so obvious what happened. Pelosi called in the stand down order to the Butler PA, PD.

    If it was 150 yards away, sounds like a Secret Service fail.

    Didn’t Russia already do that already back in 2016 and a certain contingent laughed and brushed it off?
