Gunshots fired at Trump during rally

[Grim5]

What a sad day

 

[Mysterae_]

Shooter was killed by SS where he was perched on top of a nearby building, one audience member dead, one serious condition

Yeah, saw than. They ain't moving.

 

[GreatAuk]

Yeesh, centimetres from death...

A very good thing for the whole country that the shooter did miss I think.

Have a feeling the Trump campaign will get a lot of use out of some of the pictures to come out of this incident though. For good reason tbh, an unironic 'hell yes I'm tough enough' moment.

America - it’s not their first rodeo.

On that occasion it was carried out by the state…

Well didnt the Democrats try to take away Trumps secret service protection..

Only if sentenced to prison, in which case he wouldn't be running for president; also it wasn't specific to Trump.

As opposed to a non-devastating headshot?

well it was mm from his skull so it would have been as vile as it gets i would have thought

Yeh, so it would be easier to kill him. They are sick, anyone who is a Democrat and would vote for Biden needs their head examined

The apparent police / secret service inaction is going to turn this into a conspiracy..

Very sad that someone in the audience has died. It appears that Trump was incredibly lucky. If that shot was mere centimetres the other way it could have been over for him.

You can only imagine things escalating from here.

Theres a pic of the shooter with some of their head missing whilst bizarrely a police office appears to be putting on handcuffs.

Put the glue down ffs..

This is mind bogglingly bad security.

 

[Noxia]

Interviewing people in shock, including one poor guy who helped carry one of the deceased audience, baffles me.

Standard procedure. (I watch the ASP pursuit videos a fair bit and they'll often handcuff the perpetrator if there is a firearm involved if there is anything left to handcuff).

Closing thread as it's proving it's going to be the usual gd dumpster fire and I'm currently too busy trying to enjoy a break to deal with the sort of nonsense this is heading towards tonight.

I had hoped for once gd would behave, but no, so weyback to keeping all politics and trump stuff in the sc.
