The fact it came from the side, and apparently the glass in front of him was still intact, would suggest that he legitimately got shot in the ear. Which is absolutely insane and will be looked back on in our lifetimes as an incredible moment.
The world is caught up in what ifs etc. right now but for an ex-President and presidential candidate to come millimetres from death, in the backdrop of others dying in that assassination attempt, is frankly insane.
Millimetres. It's something no one would have thought possible. Had the shooter been caught beforehand like they usually are, this wouldn't be much. But they actually fired the shots.
You make apologies for fascists.

I agree in general but it’s naive to think that a US president can’t impact us in terms of foreign policy, be it security or business related. Whether you agree or not a strong NATO is a deterrent to Russian interests and while it’s not right on our doorsteps it’s a different story for mainland and Eastern Europe.
In terms of business I’d imagine Trump will want to see a lot less US companies investing outside of the US of which our economy is dependent on. So it probably depends on what industry you work in with respect to potential impact or not.
Yeah, you're right about the glass in front of him being intact, really is a crazy event. First photos of gunman being released now on BBC.
Name checks out!!!
Why do think the bystander that was killed was a fascist,do you know them or do you consider everyone you disagree with a fascist and should be murdered.
Worth a watch, brief breakdown. You can see the moment the snipers clock the gunman and start firing.
This is an absurd take on Trump. Putin would certainly have invaded and he would have been assisted in taking Kiev by Trump's regime.
As for the migrant crisis, you are aware that causing migrant flows into Europe is a tactic in Putin's hybrid war? The same hybrid war that spouts utter pro-Russia bollox on the internet exactly like you're doing now?
you dont find the attempted murder of political opponents a bit ya know fascist ?
What?

I know about as much about him as you do. Except he wasn't a bystander. He was there cheering on a rapist criminal wannabe dictator, who would in all likelihood laugh his ass off at you, your 'rights' and your 'equivalence' and whatever other dumb shite you're trying to prove here.
Trump isn't interested in American foreign adventures which I see as a positive. Biden like any US president should is also pushing to get industry back home. He's giving loads of subsidize to encourage production in America. I think any president is going to persue an American first policy economically. Perhaps it's time Ireland stop putting all our eggs in the US multinational basket.
You condone the murder of people who don't agree with you,simple enough to figure out who the real fascist is here.
Turns out that Thomas Matthew Crooks was a registered Republican.
Are you insinuating that the Democrats ordered this 'hit'?
I dont know what Dufflecoat Fanny means so I assume the correct answer is 'no' but I'm certainly banned from it 🤣
I implicitly argued against it with the points made. Happy to discuss further on the main thread for the conflict, unless it is shown to have a connection to the shooter it is moot here.
How the shooter ever got into such a position aside he really botched the shot. From that range a head shot would be straight forward in those conditions even for someone with average experience. I assume they had limited experience or were distracted and rushed the shot, thankfully for Trump but sadly not for the poor victim.
They were 20 years old, don't appear to have had military background \ training. Crooks worked in a nursing home. So a combination of limited experience \ distracted.
The weapon was purchases by Crooks' father 6 months ago.
'Explosive devices' found in Crooks car.
Saw one theory, that he got onto the roof and then saw the secret service snipers on another rooftop. Rushed the shot, with the resulting outcome. Unfortunate for the victims.
and a donor to the Democrats.
It wasnt so long ago some ... folks ... on here were all about Ireland joining nato.
I mean at least wait to see if US has DT or sleepy Joe as president.
Or whoever the Dems candidate might be.
Or whether the next bullet kills one of them.
America is a complete wildcard right now.
wouldn’t need any military training, just range practice. I guess it’ll come out post investigation.
But but good guys with guns stop bad guys with guns
jeez 15 dollars to a liberal group a few years ago, clutching a bit there. People can change political views especially at that impressionable age.
”when you come to see me at these great events, the only people I want to see with guns are the people paid to protect me and you”
Could actually hear him say that.
Does the assassination attempt mean that the re-election of Trump is a foregone conclusion?
He has a good shot at the presidency now.
