Official Trump Attempted Assassination at his Rally Thread

[Ark]

Maybe he did it to impress Jodie Foster Sydney Sweeney.

Is it just me or is it weird that the Secret Service got a clear shot on a guy within seconds but never saw him on the roof in the first place????

The way the rooflines run, he would not silhouette until he was above the peak of the roof. (i.e. came up the other side of the roof)

I said he would be another Stephen Paddock.

The reporting I've seen indicated that as a candidate, Trump doesn't have the protection assets a President has... air surveillance and Secret Service counter-sniper were both mentioned. (some reporting says the counter snipers were secret service... don't know if they were or not, but they look like local/state SWAT. types to me)

Also reported were multiple requests for additional protection details that were refused by DHS... definitely would like to see the proof/papertrail on those.

Again, the Secret Service has publicly stated that the reported calls for additional security for Trumps rally is false.
No requests for additional security were made by the Trump campaign.

Anyone else think the audio was strange? Like you don't hear the sound of the bullets and you should they're right by the microphone and they should have been supersonic. Maybe 300blk subsonic?

modern day audio , mics would have gate compression on to protect against loud noises such as being dropped or bumped, system might have background noise reduction, so a loud fast moving sound would be filtered
out.

Alll the anti-trump rhetoric we’ve heard over the past 8 or 9 years, from news sources, pundits, Hollywood, Democrats, that become a sort of stochastic terrorism. It’s not surprising that when you convince almost half the country that Trump is literally Hitler, why would some of those delusional idiots not think they’re doing the world a favor by taking out Hitler?

Yes the shooter is ultimately responsible, assuming the conspiracy theories aren’t true. The people gaslighting the gullible to think they should rid the world of literally Hitler bear the responsibility of transmitting the idea.

Well. I've never thought of DJT as a particularly religious person. I mean he has to act the part if he's going to win the GOP over, anyway. But, you go through an experience like that, where if several factors were different, you might be dead. That might tend to make a believer.

"No atheists in fox holes" is the old saying, eh?

Regardless what happened at this rally, it’s way easier for fools to assassinate your political opponents when you take away their security.

Again, false reporting, according to the Secret Service.

Got it.

I suppose that could be, but it just reeks of something strange when the shooter could be that close on a roof with all that Secret Service around and no one saw him.

Well to be fair it can be both a failure and a conspiracy.

THAT is the American way!!!

Once the patsy took the shot and it was clear he had missed, he was of no further use.

They are Secret Service.

Trump is both a candidate and a former president.
So is he more protected than a candidate who wouldn't be a former president?

Are candidate even protected before they are officially nominated as candidates? I'm not sure.

Interesting read

It's been interesting to watch the talking heads of the lamestream media stumble all over themselves in an attempt to distance themselves from past comments. What a bunch of worthless ********.

 

[miguel]

Not sure how well a podunk town like Butler PA's police department is equipped to handle it. Maybe they don't have the manpower to have extended the security zone to include that building.

Thanks. Now all I can think about is the sheriff's department in Rambo.

Again, according to the Secret Service.

This says it all. Do I believe them....not really

"He hates cans! Oh, there's cans in there too!"

Best line of the movie..."I was born a poor black child..."
Runner up, "I bet more people will see that than the phone book."

"You mean I'm going to stay this color?"

It just occurred to me that this is how it would have gone had the other dude been up there.

Off topic but, several years back when we still had a couple of kids living at home, I would quote that movie all the time, especially “he hates these cans” or “these cans are defective”. My kids would always roll their eyes whenever I did it. None of them had ever seen the movie, so one weekend, I decided we were all gonna sit down and watch it together. They laughed so hard they had tears rolling down their faces!

That was 8-10 years ago, and they still reference that movie occasionally.

I didn't claim the reporting was accurate, only that it happened.
