[Politics] Trump under fire.

[StonehamPark]

Will be interested to see/read Biden and Harris’ statements.

 

[Curious Orange]

I wonder how many conspiracy theories will emerge around this incident...

 

[Bry Nylon]

Will be interested to see/read Biden and Harris’ statements.

Especially as Biden thinks Trump is his vice president.

The democrats have blood on their hands here no matter what you feel about Trump

 

[Quebec Seagull]

The GQP are always accusing Dems of deploying false flag opérations. Remember, it's 100% projection, all the time. I certainly wouldn't put this past the Rethuglicans to stir up sh!t.

Surely the shooter and any organisation they are involved with have blood on their hands?

How do you manage to blame a whole political party and/or ideology for this?

If the shots didn’t hit trump who have they hit.

He’s walked away looking like a hero he was going to win the election anyway. Now there’s not even a question which is mental.

This is a very good question....

 

[Eeyore]

Initial impression to me was that it may have been an air rifle or even a paintball gun. Both would draw blood on the ear. Can't know how they would have got it in though. Unlikely to hit anyone behind if they were shot from ground level.

Leave it to the rabbit hole residents

Heard the secret service guys shouting “shooter down, shooter down”.

Not so much 'You're Fired' as 'You Fired'.

Biden saying bullseye on his back the democratic part have advocated violence , don’t care if you think I’m wrong, Biden needs to walk away now

If he is up on a podium, the it's probably that the shooter was below him so they probably went over the heads of the crowd behind him.

 

[HangletonGull]

1 dead

Awful aim leads me to think the shooter must have been an apprentice too eh.

1 dead don’t think it was air gun

Yeah let’s have a joke with 1 dead an assertion attempt poor taste

 

[Easy 10]

I'm not generally one of the tin hat brigade, but I can't help having a bit of a chinny reckon at this.

Multiple shots heard, but seemingly nobody else there was hit, just a graze on Trumps ear. Then instead of him being bundled straight away into an SUV, he gets a few moments to rise up from his Secret Service agents to throw a few heroic, defiant fist-pumps at the crowd.

Strange

This was what I took from it too.

An air rifle "pop" of gas rather than a full-on gun shot perhaps?

 

[Bry Nylon]

Eye witness reports say that the shooter was on a nearby roof with a rifle

You do if you're the sort of prat that believed in Trump is a good bloke, Maga, guns are great and Putin's a decent guy we should do business with and women shouldn't be allowed to decide whether to have babies or not. That's the sort of berk that would blame a whole political party.

There's several million such idiots (mostly with guns) in the US. Hmmm ............. tricky one to sort, no?

There were 2x incidents each with multiple pops going off. Air rifles are single shot and typically slower loading.
