There doesn’t seem to be much news. I hope that it wasn’t what it sounds like.

They are calling it a shooting on TV & there was a secret service announcement saying “shooter down” which could mean shot or captured.

Reports are one observer killed and shooter dead.
It’s being investigated as an assassination attempt.

Exactly what this country doesn't need.

On behalf of all the actors, nice job. This should get him a lot of attention. The gunman was a trained sniper yet you heard gunshots giving away his position, I don't think so. They say he was killed, that stops having to look for him. How many people behind Trump got wounded? Trump covered his ear and went down with several SS guys on top of him doing their job. I wonder which one cut his ear?
In other words at this point I don't believe a word of it, I think it was staged.
I'm surprised the Democrats didn't think of it first. Good way to get attention and rid themselves of Biden all in one.

Good way to get attention and rid themselves of Biden all in one. 1) Nobody knows who the shooter was yet. It hasn't been announced. Just pictures of him dead on a nearby roof. Less than 300 yards from Trump, well within range of his AR15. 2) One person behind Trump is dead and another severely wounded. 3) The bullet went through his ear, effectively "cutting" it. 4) The crowd of 60,000 watched it happen live. 5) Yeah, I expect Biden's (or any Democrat's) candidacy is now dead. |

“Yeah, I expect Biden's (or any Democrat's) candidacy is now dead.”
It wasn’t looking great yesterday and it’s going to look worse tomorrow.

It will be blamed on the Dems. If it was Biden it would be blamed on the Republicans.

You’re crazy, Peter.
Many questions about why the roof wasn’t under surveillance before this happened. I was at a concert a year after the Highland Park shooting and I saw police on rooftops nearby. Also police drones overhead. It baffles me that a presidential candidate rally doesn’t have law enforcement on the highest roof around surveying the scene.
And let’s give out AR-15s in gumball machines.

Peter's crazy?
He just listed four (1-4) reasonable at the time event observations followed by (5) a reasonable conjecture for a supporter to make. This event will likely offer a bump to a candidate who was already in a good position. Whether it holds remains to be seen, but it will show up.

That photo of a bloodied Trump with his fist raised will be electoral gold.
