Appears Trump was shot at and possibly hit (blood on ear seen) at a rally. Oh boy.
|
Looks like he was possibly grazed by the ear based on the video.
Edit: Why are they allowing him to egg the crowd on, head visible? Is this a fucking WWE skit or something? He's bleeding from the ear, thousands of people around, and they allow him to continue to be that vulnerable? |
Someone texted me saying it was a paintball gun, where is the video?
|
On Twitter. No clue if it's real or not.
|
Can't wait for the right wing media to claim Bidens government is trying to take out Trump.
|
Good old butler
|
Well, election and America over. At least I'm a white male, but I feel sorry for my daughter.

yeah. This is definitely going to help him. |
If it was a real gun you would think someone behind Trump would have gotten hit and seriously wounded.
|
Doesn't matter, all people will hear is trump shot and the news will run it until they can't make money anymore.
|
There are multiple shots too. How does he only get grazed and no reports of anyone else hurt?

I was actually in Butler a few hours ago. I had no idea that jackass was doing a rally there.
|
Where was the good guy with a gun?

Build the alibi now. |

At this point I don't know if it mattered, but yeah. This is basically a game over moment. By the time his people are done, this is going to be Teddy Roosevelt continuing a speech after he was shot by coked up Hunter Biden. |
Man, this election is something.
|
Just seeing the shot, I would guess it was a paintball. He gets hit, reaches up to his ear, then voluntarily goes down.
|
The internet is going to be insufferable for the next several days

Or maybe Airsoft? |
He's going to win in a landslide.

I’m about as gun virgin as you can get. Maybe fired a .22 at a summer camp 35 years ago or so? |
That photo of him with his fist in the air and blood on his face juxtaposed with Biden telling us he doesn't have a bed time. Trump is getting 400 electoral votes.
|

That's a possibility to. When you hear the shots it doesn't sound really like a gun. It does sound to me like a paint ball gun, though an airsoft probably sounds the same. |
Quote:
You're not wrong. I don't think another candidate is going to change that either. |
The only way Biden can come close to saving this (assuming it doesn't come out as a false flag or something) is to get a statement out ASAP denouncing and flying AF One to whatever hospital Trump is at and denouncing it standing next to Trump.

Biden is asleep. This happened too late in the day. |
Quote:
lol they just asked him about it and he said he hadn't heard about it. Just let Trump start filling his cabinet now. |
Quote:
It wasn't even close before this happened. Dems will always be Dems. |
Whatever was fired didn't sound ... typical.
We wondered here in the batcave about some sort of improvised weapon (like was used to kill Abe in Japan) but I don't know what the max capacity of something like that could be. (Japan was a single shot IIRC) Legit question, cause I sure as hell don't know: Do 3D printer weapons "sound" normal? |

Gonna save this post. One of us is going to be very, very wrong. |

The reports are the shooter is dead. I think the gun shots after the initial were Secret Service. |
|
meh, I prefer presidents that don't get shot.
I don't think this moved the needle either. No one is changing their vote 3 and half months from now over this. |
Quote:
There's a thought that it's 3 from the shooter, 5(?) in return fire. There is a sort of ... pause in there. |
What's the worst case scenario for when we find out who the shooter is? Transgender immigrant who has used a stolen identity to work with children in Scranton and has an insta full of black lives matter, me too, and dark Brandon memes whose most recent picture is a photo with Biden?

I think this generates more turnout for Trump. |
This is interesting:

That's the extreme, but it is going to be shocking if it is not someone that holds some-kind of extreme views. |

I would say it is a very strong possibility this is a ghost gun, as it is about the only way you could have gotten a weapon through the security protocol. They do sound similar to a regular gun though, depending on the caliber. |
Imagine trying to kill Trump and instead you end up dead and likely reelecting him.

Quote:
I don't think so. He's the favorite but this will mostly make angry people more angry. Retaliatory violence of some sort is more likely than than any electoral fallout. |
Sky News is saying 1 dead. Presumably the shooter?
|
More from the local prosecutor. Always take this stuff with a grain of salt....

30 seconds on Twitter will show you the civil war people are frothing at the mouth. |
Okay, I can come up with a "legitimate" (barely) firearm combo that could approximately make that sound -- suppressed subsonic rounds are not far from that -- though still bassier/deeper than what I hear -- throw in distance and sound quality, it's possible
Thing is though, that'd sure be a hella weird choice to make. Virtually no stopping power, at distance, and in a crowd where just slipping away unnoticed doesn't seem likely. |
Remember that time, like 2 days ago, when people speculated on what would happen if there was a national emergency and the president needed to step up?
Well we are here. |

It also could be that they had the mics dialed in to record voice, causing the supersonic sounds to be muffled, because if there was return fire, it had a similar sound, and those wouldn't be subsonic. |
I'm still not understanding how the SS allowed him to stand up and strike the defiance pose for so long not knowing if the shooter was neutralized or if there were others. Just a bizarre scene. Surely that's not SOP in the manual.
|
I think it's just a small caliber weapon and mics pick it up weird.
