I wonder when Trump gets reelected will he have Clinton Obama and Biden arrested for the assassination attempt ???
When I saw "Trump rushed off stage" I thought it's finally happened that one of these geriatrics has had a heart attack.
The fact that the shooter got so close he hit his ear is genuinely shocking. A few millimetres more and god knows what future would unfold.
thanks jr.
Agreed, to a point. But consider also how rapidly a presumably prone rifleman in an elevated position was identified and neutralized once the shooting started . It's entirely possible the shooter just got lucky and managed to climb up during a gap in a scan. Someone must have had a good line of sight to him to kill him that quickly.
Nobody is allowed guns at the rally, you seriously think the crowd is armed?
President was live talking about what happened but not much information as of yet ,he's gonna try talk to trump and even referred him as Donald which I've never heard him say that before
No one deserves to be shot dead , because they want to run for President, not Trump, not Biden.
To quote another Donald, recently deceased
We'd have arrived days ahead, studied the route... ...checked all the buildings. Never would've allowed open windows overlooking Dealey. Never! Our own snipers would've covered the area. If a window went up, they'd have been on the radio!

yep, and a while ago there was a MAGA head on sky Jason Meister blaming Biden and forgetting about the attempted insurrection and violence that Trump encouraged…
Biden not very impressive in his press briefing, looked and sounded like a babbling wreck. Uninspiring..
You are reaching and digging. These are not the same thing.
mad stuff. Trump is some legend. Waving his fist and shouting fight. Surely he wins it now. The balls on that guy.
Biden speaking clearly there.
security really bad here. that is like an 8 foot shed, and very visible.
The police officer suffered two strokes the day after the riots. His death was rules to be from natural causes. Now there could be arguments claiming that the events may have contributed to him having the strokes but that cannot be proven so your facts aren't quite facts.
People obviously either love him or hate trump but I'd never like to see anybody let alone a candidate shot dead , people are definitely determined to kill trump but I'm sure they are also out to gey Biden too , this is just insane :(

I don't even know if Biden would run that long, not sure I can see him even running into next week ha but it will be an interesting time all the same.
It's pretty crazy that high vantage points with direct line of sight to Trump are completely ignored by security at these Rallies
….
Just saw it on Sky news. incredibly lucky, a few mm more to the right and that would have been it. Incredible reaction by Trump given what just happened.
the bullets could have come from trumps far right (😅) rather than behind him.
The fact that Trump rallies consist of thousands of gun enthusiasts who would all open fire on a threat to Trump brings a false sense of security, the "who would be stupid enough to try anything here" mentality has proven to be a weakness in terms of protection.
On the plus side for Biden, the news cycle may actually move on from his debate performance now.
I did talk facts. A police officer was killed after Trump supporters stormed Capitol Hill and Trump called them patriots.
Secret service will have a lot of questions to answer. Few lads to get the p45 I'd say.
That's what I was thinking. And no one behind him is acting like anyone nearby is injured, giving medical attention etc. Maybe they were in a different part of the crowd and not behind him
And if the democrats ignored this issue I'd be equally as critical of them. It just seems strange that Reblicans felt storming capitol hill and killing a police officer was perfectly fine but are happy to accuse the democrats of stoning violence with their words.
Yup!
