    I wonder what happened to the people in line of fire behind Trump.

    Also there’s a pic going round of the body. I can’t tell if the outfit is surplus fatigues or SNL’s Stefon.

    and the roof they were on was surprisingly close.

    Most people's experience with hearing gunfire is from being next to or behind the shooter (if they aren't the shooter) gunfire sounds very different when you're on the receiving end & at a distance. Add things like building walls, pavement, crowd noise & in this case, the shooter was elevated on a roof and people won't recognize or hear the noise at all.

    My WAG, the majority of the shots you can hear in the initial video clip are from the USSS personnel returning fire.

    I think the real question we're all asking ourselves is: where did this guy hide his time machine?

    My former coworker who’s all up on the conspiracy theories is already posting the “inside job” angle. But he did already find out where the shooter bought his t-shirt - some site called “Grunt Style” that sells the type of shit wannabe military guys wear.

    Also from what I’ve seen, it looks like the guy in the interview, who was telling LE about the guy, did get the info in. There’s an angel where the sniper on the building behind trump is already scanning that roof. Might not have been lined up perfect to get him before the dude got a couple shots off.

    What if this is how Biden ends his run, though? Suspends all ads, and then suddenly Kamala comes out for pressers and debates and nobody even addresses the change.

    I believe the term he's looking for is "official act", and per the SCOTUS, it's perfectly legal, so everybody should just forget about the whole thing and move on.

    The insane thing is that, due to the heat, lack of shade, and no water, we were pretty close to the shooter not even being the deadliest thing at the rally. Multiple people required medical attention.

    "I thank God that former President Trump is safe."

    Even if it's pure posturing, the fact that she has the self discipline to be this magnanimous to the piece of shit who's been mocking the assassination attempt on her own self, which resulted in her husband being hospitalized and nearly killed, is impressive.

    the replies alone show why it’s the right response to have. And, as we are all aware, Trump is just gonna come back out on the campaign trail and say shitty things about all these people.

    I'm going to say it right now, I think this was staged.

    Do you really expect me to believe that Secret Service dropped the ball so badly that a former president/ candidate actually got hit/ grazed?

    When was the last time there was a credible attempt at a president's life?
    Reagan? Bush Jr. dodging a shoe?

    And CONVENIENTLY the suspect is dead, and not captured. They can make up any identity/ backstory they want.

    This smells like bullshit to me.

    If Trump was the only victim, I could buy the ol' wrestler trick of slicing yourself with a hidden razor to draw blood, but the fact that a bystander went down means they were using live rounds, which even these idiots would never do for a false flag.

    Yeah... innocent bystanders are dead and injured. No way this was staged.

    How do we know that "innocent bystander " is really dead?

    How do we know it's not one of those "crisis actors" that Trump accused injured protesters of being?

    Remember the video of that old man that got absolutely steamrolled by some cop in riot gear in 2020?

    Trump said that old man was a crisis actor.

    Is it beyond the realm of possibility that his campaign put someone with a squib in their head to really sell it?

    Trump is as phony as a three-dollar-bill, and I have ALWAYS looked at him sideways.

    I get where you're coming from, but man, it's a fucking hell of a stretch right now.

    That's some serious Flat Earth level conspiracy shit.

    Do you think Trump's crew of Secret Service is really that bad at their job?

    And what was up with Trump standing up behind their human-shield, and putting his fist in the air?

    It's almost like he KNEW nothing was going to happen to him.

    Get ready for all of the statements saying:

    "Look what the radical left, led by Joe Biden, tried to do to me, they will stop at nothing, and if Crooked Joe Biden is reelected, he will kill all of his political opponents.
    Of course, no president can be held accountable for crimes, I made sure of that, but he's an animal, people, he will stop at nothing, he will kill anyone in his way..."

    Something like that. This gave Trump some good material to campaign on - a little TOO good, if you ask me.

    Yeah. I just…if everything is a false flag, then nothing is real and nothing matters. That’s the state of the “news” these days.
