Nice try by the MAGA idiots. Trying to make the convicted felon a martyr. It was a really good shot, by the way.

Hello Aaron,

Breaking news: Democrats, who want anyone for president but Trump, tried to
kill him today at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Yeah. Democrats, including President Joe Biden, are killing Trump
with love, hoping and wishing him a speedy recovery.

This is another way that Democrats differ from Republicans; When Democrats want someone out of their way, they'll kill them.

Democrats kill everybody with love. Chicago 1968 brought us

Hello Alan,

Breaking news: Democrats, who want anyone for president but Trump, tried to
kill him today at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Wrong.

President Biden and Democrats have publicly condemned all acts
of political violence. It is time for Donald Trump and Republicans
to do the same.

This is another way that Democrats differ from Republicans; When Democrats
want someone out of their way, they'll kill them.

At this point the shooter has been identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, a registered republican.

An AR-style rifle, probably with a bump stock. Got off eight
rounds, killing one bystander and critically injuring two others.
Trump was hit by a shard of glass from a broken teleprompter,
despite his antics claiming that he was shot.

The shooter (with gun in hand) was spotted climbing up onto the
roof of a shed, and those who saw him tried unsuccessfully to attract
the attention of Secret Service who were nearby. After two or three
minutes, the shooter was in position and shots rang out.

Good thing the shooter was a lousy shot. Losing part of an ear
to a shard of glass from a broken teleprompter should have been
the least of Trump's worries.

Crooks, a registered republican.

was a really good shot, by the way.

Trump is a drama queen. He was hit by a shard of glass from a broken teleprompter. Had he been shot in the ear (as per his claim) there
would be no right ear for anybody to look at. He was treated at a
nearby hospital, and released a short while later. No gunshot wound.

At least the archbishop of Ethiopia wasn't killed, just one of the fanatics
behind him.

Jesus was a fanatic. Even lived in Africa for a while. Not the
first black man to do so. And definitely not the last. So what makes
this archbishop of Ethiopia so special? What kind of fanatic should
be the real question. After all, not all fanatics are the same.

They are a Political Action Committee whose stated mission is "Our mission: Rally *Democrats* to vote."

While I agree that there is not likely an organized "Democrat" plot to kill Trump, as Aaron suggests, there is more to this than the shooter's party registration.

It means a lot to the registrar of voters. And to those who work

He also donated to a Democrat PAC.

An empty claim, with no preference shown as to which candidate
he may have been supporting (if any).

The Republican Party is not an ideology, although Trump is making
it out to be one.

The more I see the more I believe the Secret Service was involved. The difference with JFK's assassination an the one that they tried on Trump nwas that there were 40,000 cameras at Trump's and is there ever a sh!t load of evidence to plow through.

The director of the Secret Service was appointed by Biden 2 years ago. She's a former agent so she probably has a pretty good idea about how to cover things up.

Supposedly, he did not really have much of a social media presence, which was hampering investigators. Be interesting to hear about his friends and family. They reported the house that was of interest was in a nice neighborhood, something I would think an unemployed 20-something couldn't afford. That makes me wonder if he was not living with family.

His vehicle supposedly had explosives in it, per news reports.

From what I can see, from the news and social media, there are videos of peo telling the authorities about a man on the roof with a gun.

I think that the Elitists know they dodged a bullet (along with Trump) because if the attempt on Trump had succeeded, it would have started a hot civil war and the Elitist operatives would have been very high on the list of ones do go next.

But do we even have people on our side who are willing to more than just cast a ballot? All we ever do is vote, while the leftists are controlling the airwaves, infiltrating government agencies, mis-educating the kids, and emptying jails.

There is supposedly a large percentage of gun owners, who one could imagine believe in 2A rights, that are not even registered to vote. So they are not even casting ballots. There is at least one Trump supporter in BBS land (who posts frequently on Dovenet) who recently bragged about not being registered to vote.

It is supposed that if these gun owners, who live in swing states that went blue in 2020, are 2A, had been registered, and had voted for Trump in the past election, he would have carried those states.

I would not even count on people on your side to even cast ballots.

I doubt that the secret service is struggling with incompetence. It's more likely that they're serving the world's elite and trying to kill Trump. They don't seem to have any problem protecting Obama or Bush.

The Secret Service that was present at the rally did their job. The detail that came up with the initial security plan, which didn't include someone on that nearby roof, are the ones whose methods are coming into question from both Democrat and Republican congresspeople.

If they were *really* trying to "kill Trump" they would have allowed the shooter to keep firing until he got him. Instead the counter-sniper shot him dead with his first shot.

"The Democrat party tried to kill Trump" is just as bad as the conspiracy theory that "there was no shooter (or there was and he was a MAGA martyr) and the Trump team faked it all." If they were trying to kill him, they really goofed when they shot the shooter dead.

I saw a video where the secret service didn't shoot at the suspect until he
was already firing at the president. How could that be correct procedure?

Then I saw another video where some other officers of some sort were
walking over by the building where the shooter was, and people were telling them that there was somebody on the roof, and the officers acted like they didn't care. Which police department or security company was that?

"The Democrat party tried to kill Trump" is just as bad as the conspiracy theory that "there was no shooter (or there was and he was a MAGA

Hello Ken,

It means a lot to the registrar of voters. And to those who work
the polls. Fact is, he is a card-carrying Republican. To your own
embarrassment.

Way to miss the point ;)

You do realize he survived the shooting ...

For Life,
Lee

The media doesn't provide much coverage of things that happen in the New York government. We woke up one day to discover that bail was reformed and that the jails were literally being emptied as a result. And we never saw it coming until it was too late. The state's legislature did it all while we were sleeping, in one night.

More so than Republicans, supposedly. Chicago is a Democrat party stronghold and they have strict restrictions. I think your own home state is/was considering bans and restrictions.

Maybe some of the other stuff was a clever ruse to draw attention away from their anti-2A actions.

I saw that one. You cannot tell whether or not it was before or after the shooting. Since there are no shots being fired, I would assume it was after but who knows.

I will revisit this thread with a link to the video when I find it..
But I thought it showed the gunman alive and on top of the roof, followed by a
woman shouting to officers that there's "someone on the roof," (after we just saw him alive and on the roof.)

There have now been credible reports that local police were indeed aware,
but may not have contacted Secret Service quick enough. The local chief,
or union rep (I forget which), has been defending their actions.

IB Joe mentioned a rumor that the gunman was confronted on the roof by a local policeman. Although the report didn't mention "on the roof," it did say that
a LEO did confront the gunman and then retreated.

The report also said that the current head of the Secret Service was taking responsibility for what happened, but would not step down.

IIRC, that report was from channel 10 in Phoenix and can be found on youtube.

There were definately some breakdowns in communication, and there were definately some breakdowns in the Secret Service's initial scouting of the site. IMHO, the counter-snipers did their job and killed the guy, and the
ones on the ground mostly did their job in securing the President. IMHO,
they should not have allowed him to stop and address the crowd between the podium and the vehicle, just in case there was another gunman, but I also
don't think they really could have stopped Trump from doing so.

If so many rallygoers saw a gunman beforehand, why weren't any of them yelling at Trump to get off stage? Or were they in on it, too?

In the video, it's just a lady who saw the guy on the roof, but this lady was close to the gunman and far away from the president.

There is something odd about that. It sounds like there were some people "wandering around" either just inside of, or just outside of, the security perimeter that were able to see the gunman. I wonder why they were allowed
to be there if they really were not a part of the rally?

If I were in charge of security I would want the area between the rally and
the edge of the perimeter to be empty as I believe it would make it easier
for security to keep track of who is doing what, but that is just me. I have *no idea* what the official protocol is in that regard.

Chances are that your state legislature has a website where you can keep
track of what bills are proposed, up for vote, etc. You local media will mention some of them during newscasts but other news, like about what Trump
has said or done today, etc., will push more boring stories about the legislature out of the news cycle.

So far, it looks like a mistake was made by local police (whoever those officers near the shooter are.) But the narrative coming from Washington is that "it's the head of the secret service's fault." Somebody is definitely creating a distraction here, but I can't tell who it is for sure.

Yea obviously the people who were anywhere near the shooter were not people who were screened.

I'm not a security expert either, but I agree with you that unchecked spectators, 300 yards away or whatever, is a bad idea. They should stick with indoor rallies.

There is, but I never bothered reading (for example) the state senate's website until after all the chaos began. But even if that information was available, people are still right to be angry. We're sheeple; we rely on the media to tell us everything. They didn't tell us that "Today there's a slight chance of rain, and tomorrow morning the jails will be empty."

It is now out that the Secret Service knew about the shooter and his whereabouts (but maybe didn't see a gun) for ~20 minutes prior to when he
took his shots.

I believe that seems like too long a time. However, I also believe that if Crooks had turned out to be a Trump supporter who was only trying to get a better view, and the Secret Service shot him dead without seeing a gun,
there'd be people arguing here, the internet, and everywhere that the Secret Service did something horrible and "murdered a Trump supporter."

15 or more years ago, I don't think that'd been much of an issue... people
had more sense back then... but it damn sure is now.

One other thing we *don't* know... if the Secret Service knew of a possible threat and told Trump's team about it, which they could have (they
certainly had *time* to), who is to say that it was not the Trump Team's decision to bring Trump out anyway.

Yea obviously the people who were anywhere near the shooter were not people wh
were screened.

They could have just been hot and looking for shade but I believe someone should have been there to herd them back into the rally area, or out of
the area, whichever the appropriate case.
