Shots fired at Trump during rally

I was wondering if he wore it to fit in better.

Or he could just be a fan.

 

What kind of content does the YouTuber post?

Accelerationist? Right wingers who want to speed up the down fall of America so they can rebuild it as Gilead, its gaining ground with me.

 

Interesting indeed.

 

Now people are “drama queens” when a former POTUS and current candidate misses getting his brains blow out by mere inches.

Are you just trolling tonight or doing you best Bobby Bowden impersonation?

 

No. It's just a fun gun channel.

 

Not particularly political at all. It’s primarily semi-serious gear reviews and “let’s see what happens when ______” content from what seems to be a pretty cool guy from Texas with a really awesome gun collection.

 

Not getting into most of what you said, but was texting with a friend / business associate who was a SEAL in a past life and is a die hard Trump supporter. He was a medic, not a sniper but knows enough about sniping. Said without the turn of Trump’s head and / or a slight change in the wind that shot would have hit.

And no, I’m not saying this is God’s plan. Just that Trump was very close to dying today. He didn’t miss by inches. He missed by less than an inch.

 

I mentioned assassination a few days ago andy comment was edited to remove any reference to "assassination." Are we not allowed to talk about assassination without being banned? I believe Biden, Trump and RFK Jr are all at risk.

 

it was mentioned from 130 yds? How could he get the weapon in there? Maybe hide it there weeks ago?

 

Have seen some speculation online he may have climbed up the opposite side of the building and popped up over the top of the roof pitch to fire, and would have been out of sight of the counter-sniper team if that was the case.

No idea if that’s true or not, but I’m still struggling to figure out how one of the only building complexes within a half mile of the rally site wouldn't have been sanitized. That seems like a fairly obvious thing to have done in prep unless Trump has a very small protective detail and it was a resources thing.

 

Yes, people are drama queens when they claim that he got shot in the head. It's a serious enough thing without the exaggeration. A bullet grazed him. We are all fortunate the shooter didn't kill him. No need for the histrionics. I hate the man, but I fully recognize that this sort of political violence is bad for the country.

 

Then I too compliment you.

 

Thank you. It means a lot coming from you.

 

The witness said the roof is angled so the SS probably didn’t see the sniper but was looking at the commotion with the witness telling the police what he was seeing. That should have been enough to get Trump pulled off the stage while they investigate.

 

Shooter was a 20 year old kid who graduated in 2022 according to New York Times, Reuters and CNN. They all mentioned he was a registered republican on the voter rolls in 2022 and once gave money to a progressive group as well.

A 20 year old kid, who graduated in 2022 isn’t a political representation of the state of politics in my opinion, but instead another reminder of the state of mental health. I mean, what could a 20 year old know about politics?

Incidentally, the shooter used an AR-15 according to reports.

Mentally ill gun nut?

 

You would be surprised how many people have no reaction to gunfire other than look around ten seconds later to see if they know where it came from.

 

Yay guns!!!!!

 

It's not common so people usually don't recognize it for a considerable amount of time. Despite what the media would have you think most people probably can't remember the last time they heard gunfire outside of a shooting range.

Probably spent those seconds internally debating if it was fireworks, car backfire or a gun.
