No pressure when shooting rabbits. Bit different shooting at a human and even moreso when that human is protected by the Secret Service and you know you're either going to die or live the rest of your life behind bars.
Maybe Giuliani finally cracked over the unpaid bills and put out a hit himself 😂
And that's a good reason to start with the blatantly poitically motivated attempts to blame the democrats when we have no idea who the shooter was?
So we should make jokes about it?
Doesn't negate the fact we know nothing right now about the shooter.
I mean, you could be right but the odds of that being the reason why the assassination attempt was made are way way way smaller than it being a politically motivated assassination attempt.
Somebody died ffs.
regardless, your post was in bad taste. Whatever you think of trump, hoping he had been killed tonight when an innocent person was killed is a disgraceful comment.
Rhetoric like this waffle from Robert De Niro does nothing to help
Google tells me that the shooter was 126metres away from the podium on that roof.
When I was growing up we were regularly shooting rabbits on the farm with a rifle and scope from not far off that distance. There were a lot of rabbits to practice with and the burrows were along a number of sheltered hedges so we didn't have to deal with wind, just the lack of range on a small calibre rifle.
it doesn't seem to me like the shooter was a trained sniper.
Awful thing to happen to Vice president Trump
I mean nobody has any idea who the shooter was. For all we know it was a revenge attack from someone close to one of the many women he sexually assaulted.
Despicable journalists already trying to play it down as him just being hit with glass shrapnel. You can clearly see the spectators in the background looking in the direction of the bullet trajectory to Trumps left.
if you have the president , his White House, the Democratic Party, the media calling trump a nazi, a fascist, telling the American public trump will end democracy and be a dictator if he wins then you will end up with what happened tonight. Watch as the media twist this story to blaming trump , how well Biden handled himself and even demanding more gun control.
They probably didn't realise what was happening.
Fist in the Air. Blood dripping from his gunshot wound..
Yeah this act of political violence has a Pandora's box feel to it. A lot of people have accepted the terms. Hope I'm wrong
One would assume she's sort of right. One democrat tried to kill her friend.
amazing how some people in the crowd managed to still hold up their signs for the cameras 😁😁, oh, and stayed put, all after the supposed shooting

How a shooter got the high ground with a rifle and get off 4 ( I think) rounds is unbelievable . Heads are going to roll in the secret service
Of course I'd be blaming Trump. At multiple times he's encouraged political violence, condoned political violence and made jokes about political violence when it has happened. I don't ever remember the democrats doing that. All there seems to be is that comment from Biden which everyone knows he didn't mean literally.
But now all the Republicans are talking about how political violence is wrong and how Democrats have stoked this. Where were these same Republicans after Capitol Hill invasion? Oh yeah, too busy calling them patriots.
Unfortunately, we can already tell that this incident will just further stoke divisions and the Republicans are clearly going in all guns blazing to ensure that.
Fact
Fact . I'm sitting back and thinking will everyone just calm down .
Trump derangement syndrome is alive and well in this thread.
As far as I can see, both sides are loons.
A few days ago Biden said "it's time to put trump in a bullseye". Now imagine if trump said that about Biden and then a few days later someone tried to shoot him, what you would be saying. You would 100% blame Trump and republicans. Even if there wasn't an assassination attempt, I'm sure people would still say trump was trying to incite one.
To be clear, I don't think this is Bidens fault at all, he clearly didn't mean the bullseye comment in that context. But for people to be acting like the Democrats wouldn't be blaming trump and Republicans if the situation was reversed is ridiculous. That's just the way things are now
He's just a man, a dad, a husband. People forget that sometimes.
I'm pretty sure if the "democrats" wanted him dead, they wouldn't have missed.
Joe biden was the gunman,had a clear shot but at the last second he forgot who his target was,🤕.
Im talking about outside the actual rally, so where this guy apparently has shot from, it's a given no person is bringing a firearm inside since they will have screenings, I mean there are multiple videos out of guys standing around watching the shooter on the roof, maybe they thought he was part of the security service
Talking about people who stormed capital Hill as being patriots isn't stoking violence? Come on. Talking about the election being rigged, stolen and fraudulent and asking g his supporters to storm capitol hill is absolutely stoking violence. Let's not pretend otherwise here. The attempted assination on Trump is awful, but Reblicans trying to act as if this is all on the democrats criticism Trump to blame is laughable and needs to be called out.
Donald Trump made jokes about Paul Pelosi attempted murder ffs. This faux outrage form the Republicans now is laughable.
