    Default Shooting at Trump rally: One spectator killed and two critically wounded

    https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveb...update=3045082


    The gunman, who was on a nearby rooftop, was shot and killed by the Secret Service. But not before he fired off multiple shots, killing one spectator and critically wounding two others. Trump was hit in the upper part of the right ear.
    The video was broadcasted all over the news.

    Trump was assisted off the stage by Secret Service agents.

    The crowd was chanting "U-S-A" as Trump pumped his fist in the air.

    (From the article)


    The photo Republicans are sharing to underscore Trump’s defiance

    The former president was standing with a raised fist and a scar on his cheek extending to his upper lip with a US flag fluttering over his head when Associated Press photographer Evan Vucci captured the moment.

    Over the past hour, Trump’s allies and supporters have widely shared the photo to highlight what they say is Trump’s strength and defiance after the suspected shooting at a rally in Pennsylvania.

    As the presidential race heats up, it is highly likely this particular picture will become a rallying cry for the Trump campaign.

    This is bad all around. Can you imagine the world today if Trump WAS killed?

    seems staged to me. no way a shooter gets on a roof at that range & vantage point. why was the don so worried about his shoes when he got back up? shoots don't sound like an ar & the damage from that type of bullet would do much worse, there was also photo of the shooter dead & his rifle was ten foot to the right of him, how? don't give up your guns
    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    It's actually pathetic how quickly blood and a dead man quickly turn into political bullshit macho martyrdom. That shot will be an 'unofficial' campaign t shirt by the close of business come Tuesday. The oddest thing I took from it live was "get my shoes" and the female agent actually bending down to pick up his hat and how they all stopped there. I remember watching live when the assassination attempt was made on Reagan. The 24/7 entrenched and seething tribalism, the whataboutism and the endless tinfoil hat default reactions were not around. The rhetoric the tit for tat mind set is ramped up every single day. No matter the actual facts to come out by actual investigation, a large swath will never move themselves from believing that the POS killer was a highly involved covert "deep state" pawn. While another group are convinced he was just some troubled deranged loner trying to impress the girl around the block.

    Several things stood out to me here.

    First and foremost... how in the HELL does the Secret Service stand Trump up SO QUICKLY after the shots were fired, thus exposing him to more shots, in case there was more than one shooter??

    Hmm...

    Second... the crowd in the back. I don't know about anybody else. But if I'm in crowd and someone in front of me gets shot... I'm digging a hole in the ground/bleachers/ wherever the hell I'm at, to get away from the gunfire. Most of the people in the back were unmoved, and actually looked like they were waiting for the triumphant Trump to emerge... fist pumping.

    Hmm...

    Third... how about in the middle of an assassination attempt, with all the ruckus and nobody knowing whether more shots are coming... a photographer manages to get a "made for Hollywood" picture of a defiant and bloodied Trump with his fist in the air, and the American flag in full wave up above.

    Hmm...

    I didn't catch the shoes part... but yeah... didn't look like your run-of-the-mill assassination attempt.



    Whatever the hell this was, it's sure to propel Trump into the White House by a healthy margin.

    Trump was intent on getting up and raising his fist putting himself and others at risk.

    If I was the security I would have dragged Trump's head down and telling him to STFU as I kicked him back into the safety car.

    Biden does have to stand down for the good of the country as Trump will walk the election with the sympathy vote.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
