How conspiracy theories and hate dominated social feeds after assassination attempt on Trump. ~ BBC
Like clockwork, some of the theories from social media where also mentioned on the boards threads?
This was a test for Elon Musk’s new Twitter - and it’s hard to say the site passed with flying colours. The other social media sites haven’t been inundated in the same way, perhaps because of their target audience and X’s reputation as a home of political discourse. ~~ Typical of the BBC to get a dig in about 'X'!?
I believe it was Michigan and Oklahoma :)
Ooookla-homa oklahoma oklahoma oklahoma.

Earlier you were claiming to be concerned about the innocent victim, then you just used it as a platform to attack 'the left' with insulting language. Hardly the actions of someone whose main concern is those killed or wounded. Is your post directed at yourself then?
You obviously haven't been paying attention then.
Trump incited a mob to storm the Capitol which led to bloodshed. He tried to steal the last election.
He uses inflammatory language about immigrants "poisoning the blood" of the nation, whipping up hatred towards minorities.
When racist far right mobs rioted, Trump told them they were fine people. He told similar far right groups such as the Proud Boys to 'stand by'.
When the families of other politicians are viciously attacked, Trump makes a joke of it, dog whistling his approval.
A far right group tried to kidnap the Democrat Governor of Michigan.
That doesn't 'scare' you but you get worked up about 'cancel culture'?
Nope, utterly unconvincing as the pretence of anyone remotely in the political 'centre'.
Conversations about Trump literally being a 'strongman' type character who appeared belligerent and defiant seconds after narrowly avoiding death as opposed to Biden who is engulfed in a national debate regarding whether he is cognitively impaired. Yeah, it matters and anyone who thinks it doesn't should come back to us in a week after we have the latest polling figures. People always draw parallel's between politicians. This will be no different.
Two UK MP's murdered in the last 8 years.
he looks like the lead singer of Arcade Fire
The righteous indignation out of your posts in this thread would make British red top newspapers editors blush.
double post.
Conversations such as this about.. Biden not being able to dodge bullets? Seriously?
Yes it does matter, conversations such as this will influence the minds of hundreds of thousands of voters - if not millions.
It'll certainly motivate Republicans to get out and vote.
A couple in the UK in the last few years.
Japanese former PM Abe in Japan couple years ago.
Apparently 17% of all US politicians have been shot. Nearly a 1 in 5 chance which would mean on average once ever 20-30 years.
And Reagan was shot just over 40 years ago so in a less obvious way than the rhetoric of recent years, this is overdue.
My comments are aimed squarely at posters in this vile thread one in particular saying they don't care about the dead individual.
The left in recent years scares me way more then the right.
Does it really matter?
first he was “a black guy” then a ponytail guy, are we sure this is him yet or is the media still just in a mad dash to report any damn thing
This is interesting, timestamped
So, if Trump gets re elected it's followed by an economic crash and a great depression, which will bring a time of darkness upon America, a time of judgment (correction) and reparation a season of shaking and awakening. I'm cool with that.
Indeed. A lot of people commenting that Biden probably wouldn't have the agility to even hit the deck. Would he have just froze if he was in the same situation?
Thomas Matthew Crooks looks/looked like a younger Ned Flanders.
Robert Kennedy was assassinated in 1968
You were asked a simple pertinent question:
You are very quick to roll out insults about leftists. What about people who lap up such Trumps vile comments from Trump? Well? Why suddenly so quiet if as you claim you are neither right nor left?
That you dodged it is obviously completely discrediting of your attempts to paint yourself as a centrist, when you are quick to roll out insults against the 'left' but none against the 'right'.
You have shown no more regard to the families of those killed that those who made jokes about the incident… they used it for for one angle, and you have jumped on it for another angle to rail against 'cancel culture' and the 'left'.
Tory/Labour MPs in the last decade. Haitian leader too.
One in England a few years ago and Robert Kennedy was killed while running for the top job.
When was last time a mainstream politician was killed
Frustrating to have to accept that reality isn't it. That's your boy. Own it. 😉
Thrres Reports He was bullied,probably for wearing camo,he should have been a goth but then he probably would have been bullied for that as well.
