Ronald Reagan in 1981 two months after he was shot.

Two months after he was shot in an attempted assassination, Reagan was giving a speech in West Berlin and a balloon popped, sounding like a gunshot. Without a hitch, he goes “missed me”. https://t.co/KCEMtJK6hH pic.twitter.com/2fGVR64AFf

Another video of the shooter climbing in the roof. The was a huge failure by the Secret Service. pic.twitter.com/DfsMkG0j8h

How the shooter was able to do this undetected by law enforcement and the Secret Service while noticed by others is incomprehensible.

---

Maybe if one of those yokels had done something other than film it…

---

At that part of the speech, Trump was complaining about how there were so many criminals and such

You see, in trumps imagined world of authoritarian rule, they will throw tons of people into jail, and take away everybody's guns, so this sort of thing can't happen.

…he will have his work cut out just taking their AR-15's. 20,000,000 in civilian hands in USA! USA!

Somewhere there is a t shirt in this worth $50,000,000 in fund raising.

$22.99
*tRump always has been, and always will be at his core, a carnival barker. Who else would think of monetizing their own failed assassination….and I'm sure the families of the poor souls who ate the bullets intended for him think it's great.

Well, yeah.
I was being facetious.

Trump will target certain groups.

I'm just preparing myself for a very dark period in history. It sucks, but I'm white and don't live in an urban center. I'll be fine. And there's nothing I can do to help others. Maybe house them.
But I don't fight so whatever is going to happen is going to happen.
I just hope it doesn't involved mechanized nations - but I think that's coming too because trump will destroy NATO and aggressors will move.

One thing triggers another, and triggers another, and triggers another.

And when global economies are as connected as they are, and with nukes and other deadly weapons…. It's just all so delicate. And Trump is a bull in a China shop. He's F'ing everything up with his words and with his policies.

Time to really watch investment policies. Will be shifts.

Trump assassination attempt: The growing threat of violence in America

This shit is so fucking dumb. This is what GOOD JOURNALISTS DO. You do not fucking run with GUNSHOTS OMG IT WAS GUNSHOTS until you have confirmed it was gunshots. To treat this as a reason to NOT trust the media is so asinine and reflects such self-inflicted idiocy. https://t.co/PEo2mvPOdh

Everybody should watch this interview of the ER Doctor that tried to save the man's life who was shot in the head.
I teared up listening to it.

If you didn't like Trump you still don't.

If you did you probably still do.

The events of the last couple of days won't change anything.

Ha,
Perhaps you mean regarding votes.

Because if trump wins, it changes a ton.
I predict he will use this to harshly enact his agenda.

Anyone think any other Republicans will try to coup Trump from the Republican Party again?

You think hitting Paul Pelosi over the head with a hammer isn't political violence, so your comments on this are totally invalid.

90 seconds before the pop.
It must be a conspiracy!!!

If it was a conspiracy, though, by high minded individuals, why did trump only get nicked on the ear instead of his brains splattered all over that stage. I mean, you'd think that maybe, just maybe, they could have arranged it so that he was dead.

But, let the conspiracies fly.

Incompetent security? Absolutely.
Conspiracy? No.

The shooter was registered as a Republican and former classmates say he was politically conservative. This is why the likes of J.D. Vance shouldn't try running with a narrative that blames this on the Biden administration. He now looks like a fool.

Why this guy (seemingly) once made a small donation to ActBlue is a mystery, but then again he also tried to assassinate a former President at a public event so he's obviously a disturbed guy.

---

NPR this morning didn't mention at all that he was bullied constantly in high school. Him taking a shot at the country's worst bully may be a potential motive. I'm just glad he didn't shoot up a school or mall instead.

I'm posting a video in a second but apparently we are learning a police officer did climb up to confront the shooter, the shooter then pointed his weapon at the cop who then retreated and the shooter then got up and started shooting. So if the shooter was rushing, it's probably why he missed Trump, unfortunately for the man who was killed and the 2 other injured.

Yes. Agreed.
The attention was being drawn to him.
The SS snipers were spun around and training on him. The climbing cop made him distracted and maybe delayed him.

In the end, he did get off a few rounds but almost immediately was blown away.

Maybe if Crooks waits another 5 seconds he gets wiped without firing once.
Maybe if SS snipers wait 5 seconds another 15 people are dead.

Obviously I don't really know, but I'm wondering if there is some kind of Travis Bickle thing going on. Remember how in Taxi Driver he first tries to volunteer for a candidate and then later feels rejected and tries to assassinate him? Some people are just lashing out at whoever they feel has wronged them (per their own twisted logic) and don't have clear political motives.

Discussing with my wife last night that he may have been upset about trump distancing himself (lying about) Project 2025, or trump's support of Israel, or his name turning up in the Epstein files that are being released. Unconfirmed, but someone online posted the shooter's social media mentions being a pedo hunter. Again, unconfirmed and all just speculation.
