They would be dead because all the SS would have seen were a group of people with guns shooting with no context. The fact the same people were trying to tell SS and police about a man crawling on the roof with a visible rifle and yet they idled around doing nothing for minutes shows some security protocol were both missed and ignored.

My thoughts

* Most of the world will be sad that trump survived so will half of Americans

* Trumps brought this on himself- did he really think if he introduces radical policitics into American society that only his supporters would become radical? No there is radicals all over now and this is the result - this is 100% Trumps fault

* It's time to ban guns coward politicians

* The secret service majorly ****** up. They had snipers and yet they missed a shooter on a roof, and the shooter wasn't a trainer sniper - just a dumb 20 year old using an semi auto assault rifle with a scope on it - Trump survived because the shooter had the wrong tools for the job

I’ve just seen it again on the news, honestly it feels staged to me, or something strange.

The Secret Service took ages to get to him, then they hug him for ages on stage and let him ‘pump his fist’ instead of dragging him off stage? It just seemed really weird.

I thought it looked a little odd with the slow reaction and pumped fist, all just a little too theatrical. Let the conspiracy theories begin....

There's footage of some bystanders from a good 10 seconds before he shoots, shouting 'he has a gun' and trying to get the attention of the cops.

Or maybe if they had tighter gun laws, the idiot that shot him wouldn’t have had access to an automatic rifle ;)
 
I thought right wingers love a good conspiracy, what was the last one “remember his name Seth rich” the whole Alex jones shenanigans and literally countless others. This should be right up their street.

Anyhow quite clearly this was staged, crisis actors galore, blank rounds and a wwe style razor blade cut.

I'm not sure even trump would go as far as killing two people for a photo opportunity. Although this is America so who knows.
 
Obviously not a false flag but might be interesting to see die hard Trump supporter's reactions to such a CT, whilst some have spent years doing the same thing.

If you look at the speed the counter sniper reacts I would assume that think the threat is neutralised but they shield trump for a minute to be safe and for secondary shooters.

Lol I sound like I know what I'm talking about

Hard to tell really without knowing range, mic settings, etc. be interesting what the investigation finds. Just looked like from the angles other people would have likely been wounded/killed if it was a regularly firearm.

Do you base your whole life on clueless and speculative forum postings?

They needed a winch block to get him up off the ground, we all know how immobile he is. Plus a ramp to navigate!!

Don't agree with shooting anyone, hence my position that having that many guns in circulation in america is beyond dumb.
But you know its the thing they vote for so be it.

Reports now the shooter was a registered Rep, but donated to biden (after the election? he would have been 15-16) so doesn't seem to have strong views.
Would seem to be mental illness IMO.

Yea, you only have to remember how the usual suspects on here twisted themselves into pretzels about narratives over the MAGA bomber and Nancy Pelosi's husbands attack.
 
Biggest takeaway is what an almighty secret service **** up of epic proportions. Shooter was 150 metres away....how the shooter missed is incredible, guy was obviously a retard. My uneducated guess was that he had concealment and knew as soon as his head popped up his lifespan was in the seconds and fluffed it under pressure. Trump is incredibly lucky to be alive.

Interesting reading how many people wanted him to die. I know the MAGA crowd have some screws loose but this is something else. Reddit is awash with brain dead people wishing for death. And then will bleat as to why society is so polarised.

Mad world.

As terrible as such a thing to happen is to anyone, it wasn't unreasonable given the crap trump does and says and in that moment it was a thought that crossed the minds of many ESPECIALLY given how odd the whole situation panned out and looked on camera. Obviously more info quickly came to light but that doesn't stop thought processes from still happening given what the guy hasbeen like all this time.

Your finger pointing paints a wider picture of you though for attempting to ridicule people for an initial thought, thanks for highlighting that to the forums.

Your initial response to a televised assassination attempt was to claim how oddly it "panned out" (?!)
You have no idea of the protocol for such an event, no idea how the cameras or people would react, but yet you still made the claim it was possibly a set up...
It was (frankly) a bizarre post and worthy of highlighting for its ridiculousness, imho.
