Nicky is correct :laugh:

But, the psychology of fear has a way of spreading itself around. I think that's the biggest concern with these events. We're very busy with hurricane cleanup and restoring our power, we don't have time to get wound up over national politics where we are. It's a bit of a blessing. But my city is not prone to rioting (knock on a forest) and other reactionary behavior... 99% of the people arrested are out of towners who come to stir **** up with the local angry mouths who hug the TV camera wherever it goes. And those people will always exist, it's not a left or right thing... some poeple are just dipsh*ts.

When we were still out and I had windows open to ventilate the house, my daughter had little American flags she was waving out the window. I don't know what it is about our flag, but it leaves an impression even on the young... we're not uber patriots or anything. My house is full of art and her room is decorated to the nigh with color, but nothing patriotic. Anyway, wherever we go the flag stands out and we have all kinds of flags on display at all times (including Texan flags) from everywhere to businesses, the post office and major shops... so now she has several little US flags that I got around the 4th of July... but I think that just says a lot about there's so many emotions tied to the flag immediately for people (... I don't know what it is they immediately recognize without knowledge at that age), as a graphic artist, but it sticks... so while there's the Trump phenomenon, there's the attachment to the American identity that is strong for a lot of people. So I think those who support him really just want to support the country in the most direct possible, and for whatever reason, they associate Trump with the possibility of that... and don't feel the current people in power care about it at all. Not that they're all anti-American, but that they represent themselves, their party, their own objectives... much more than the country they love itself.

If he were to do something counter to this sentiment, that would be the only way he loses support, imo. So imo, he sees a wider range of support. The thing is, many people are "asleep at the wheel" with regard to politics atm from exhaustion... but seeing this, they will more likely step out and get engaged or at least, be more aware of what is happening politically... their eyes more wide open so to speak... it's a very good thing, but it's also not for the best of reasons obviously... ymmv, I don't claim to speak for every person, but just have noticed we all have certain instincts when it comes to representing our country... which is a very different animal than our associations to "society", or even "a culture"...

[Maru]

Maybe across the board all politicians will start to think a little more carefully about how they choose their next words. Lest they become targets themselves. It's been ridiculous the past several years the utter bravado. Yes, it's inflammatory language. In the end though, it's to impress people on the internet or make themselves a name. They want fame, not warfare. These are not individuals who will ever join a militia and take up a rifle. They're politicians with tons of private and public security, no concerns of police protection and round the clock surveillance of their internal communications. I said this before, that threats are usually caught before they become public. They're made well aware of this and so it gives them a sense that they're untouchable. It's just not worth it now after this (I hope). The hard left are being played, imo. Their own politicians, or at least the ones more likely to be favorable to their cause, will fold like a deck of cards once they're under any real threat. You can't necessarily say that about every person on the right... some are in actual militias. That should clue some in until the likeliest outcome of this if "things break out". Which I don't think they will.

The media does not provide sane interpretations about our reality. They want to maintain the theater, because it gives politicians an effective chance at getting to the emotions of their respective constituencies. If Trump is a decades long phenomenon, they are to blame, because they create the conditions that allow these storms to form... and continue to form, because they want their individual establishments and political interests to maintain relevant.

I would never go as far as to blame the media for any individual shooter or a mass shooting. However, they do not do enough to prevent these things from becoming more regular. They're not intending to incite anything but some of the people working behind those establishments have a thirst for it and they really are being misled if they think it will somehow lead to outcomes that work out in their favor. There's not going to be a communist-style uprising. The US is too large a space for that to control, is too well-armed, to put up with any of their sh**. They're being misled. At best they'll have cities and other cosmopolitans for a moment happily plastering bumper stickers and other lame stickers all over branded posts on social media, until the upheaval disrupts their lives and creature comforts... then that support will vaporize.

The milder scare tactics, staged protests, social media work, and sporadic riots do work to set the stage for the politicizing of things so they can push harder policies, but it only works because for the most part, people are separated from it through a TV screen or a computer... but as soon as it goes too far, it'll backfire massively. That's why we see now that these politicians are in a hurry to condemn what has happened and to try to disassociate from it.

My point though is it weren't Acid that was thrown at Farage, it was Milkshake which imo is not the same as Donald Trump nearly getting assassinated.

And I am saying this as someone that prefers Farage as a Human Being.

Images of Crooks’ body reviewed by the Associated Press shows he appears to have been wearing a T-shirt from Demolition Ranch, a popular YouTube channel with more than 11.6 million subscribers that regularly posts videos that show creator Matt Carriker firing off handguns and assault rifles at targets that include human mannequins and vehicles.

…he was also a member of a local gun club in his area…

A source within the Secret Service community tells RCP that the agency’s
rules of engagement in this situation are to wait until the president is fired
upon to return fire.

“You want to take a shot then find out the guy was holding a telescope?” the
source asked. “The Secret Service is by nature reactive … and you better be
right when you do react or you’re f-----d.”

The Secret Service protocol requires that any counter sniper aware of a
potential shooter must radio directly to the intelligence division team to
respond and investigate. In this case, the investigation may have been cut
short by the shooter firing his weapon, so the counter sniper then fired as
quickly as possible in return.

The source praised the counter sniper who acquired the target and responded
within three seconds, calling their performance “incredible.”

this is true to a certain extent. You can't for example just shoot and kill a maintenance man, you have to confirm that the person has intent to cause harm. Someone from the police climbed up on to the roof and confirmed it was a shooter but didn't have his weapon ready (very strange) He had to duck for cover to protect himself

Once you see a guy with a rifle on the roof, its a different ball game of course.

My thoughts are, rather than sending an officer up to climb the roof, why didnt they simply send a drone up. Thats what i find a bit odd. A simple drone circling above the event should have spotted it instantly and allowed the secret service to provide cover for Trump

…there was no cash paid to President Biden…Thomas Matthew Crooks so far as we know, made one small donation to some Democratic Party organisation one time when he was 17yrs old and not even an adult yet…he then went on to hold Republican views more than Democratic views…(…we are told…) …but he was still barely an adult at 20yrs old…so for me this is less about left/right…Democrat/Republic and all of that type of agenda…it’s how a man of such a young age became so obsessed with guns, which is what seems to have been his motivation atm…he saw himself as some type of ‘crack shot’ or something….the environment that causes that in young people in a gun holding society is what should be scrutinised more…but it won’t be because it’s American culture…

[Cherie]

Exactly, not sure why people tie themselves in knots over gun ownership in America, that is a decision for the American people, nothing to do with us, you can have a view on it but knife crime doesn't seem as common as it is in the UK and I am sure they have a view on that also, banning knifes and restricting sales to over 25s has made no inroads into stopping it either, we are not any better than them just because they 'bear arms' and that always seems to be the narrative, dumb Americans with their guns

You can 100% have a view on gun ownership in the US it when people who are endlessly insisting on the right to gun ownership are screeching all sorts of nonsense when their beloved orange messiah has had his ear shot off, when they spend vast amounts of energy justifying/explaining why tens of thousands of dead civilians every single year isn't justification for gun control.

Knife crime is primarily gang-related crime and the reason they have less knife crime is because the gangs carry guns :joker:.

But that's a bit of an aside and not the point. The point, really, is not that I have an issue with American stances on guns (their own business, as you say) but rather that I find it nonsensical when people are out in force blaming all sorts of silly things as being "the reason this happened!!" without taking a second to say "Y'know, maybe it would have been better if he had only been able to buy a Maccies Milkshake on the local highstreet, instead of an AR15".

Brazil has a higher number deaths by firearms, I don't see anyone imagining they can influence gun policy there. Going by my own family members in the US, most of whom own guns, they are fully versed in, and committed to, gun safety. I do think the US should think about restricting some firearms, but that's for them to decide.

I'm glad we have tough restrictions here though because after the football last night I get the feeling my brother might have been in the frame of mind to climb a tower with a rifle.

It is all sus IMO the return fire was near-instant which means they must have had eyes on the shooter before he fired the gun. Or they're using aimbot? Takes a few seconds (at bare minimum) to locate a shooter, be certain that it is the shooter, aim and return fire so unless the guns were already pointed at him it all happened rather quickly.

The delay was 3 seconds and the sniper never moved as there is a video on the sniper for many seconds before - so they had him in sights and crazily were waiting for him to shoot

Smth fuky going on though still, not to get too conspiritorial, but one of the reasons things like this don't happen all that often is that when someone like Trump is making a public speech to a crowd like this, there aren't supposed to be possible spots to fire from.

They're supposed to survey the area, and any rooftops with a line of sight to the podium are supposed to be blocked off and probably staffed. Usually if they can't do that, they'll put bulletproof screens up which have been seen multiple times in various US election tours. He shouldn't have been able to be on that roof with a shot at Trump. If it was just a security oversight it was a HUGE one.

@MattWalshBlog

Here’s the official story so far: a random 20 year old acting completely alone
walked within 150 yards of a presidential campaign rally with a rifle, climbed
onto a rooftop in full view of Secret Service snipers, set up his shot and fired
without anyone intervening and with no help from anyone. This 20 year old is
also so politically radical as to attempt an assassination and yet not radical
enough to have ever posted any political writings or commentary on any
social media site ever in his life. He also wrote no manifesto and left behind
no indication about why he did it. His last and only political act, before
attempting to kill the Republican candidate, was to register as a Republican.
You must believe this and ask no questions about it or else you are a
conspiracy theorist. And one thing we know about assassination attempts is
that there’s never any conspiring involved.

Trump Media is the parent company of Truth Social, the former president’s social media platform.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social:

“As we move forward in Uniting our Nation after the horrific events on
Saturday, this dismissal of the Lawless Indictment in Florida should be just
the first step, followed quickly by the dismissal of ALL the Witch Hunts — The
January 6th Hoax in Washington, D.C., the Manhattan D.A.’s Zombie Case,
the New York A.G. Scam, Fake Claims about a woman I never met (a decades
old photo in a line with her then husband does not count), and the Georgia
“Perfect” Phone Call charges.

“The Democrat Justice Department coordinated ALL of these Political Attacks,
which are an Election Interference conspiracy against Joe Biden’s Political
Opponent, ME.

“Let us come together to END all Weaponization of our Justice System, and
Make America Great Again!”

Faded actor Jack Black went on stage with his band over the weekend and his bandmate
said "don't miss Trump next time" to laughs from the audience.

A month ago, he was a featured speaker at Biden's fundraiser in Los Angeles.

DESGUSTANG

[Crimson Dynamo]

Meet Tony Bendele, a firefighter in Sunbury, PA. He’s upset that the bullet
missed.

A bullet did hit Corey though, a rally attendee who was also a firefighter.

This is especially disgusting coming from a fellow firefighter and someone who’s
supposed to protect others.

Trump played golf the day after incident, no bandages, no visible injuries and after a shot, joked him not missing unlike the shooter, shows how callous he is when a devoted follower of his was murdered

Seems like those reports were false (unsurprisingly as it doesn't seem very likely). The source was basically one Reddit claim and a guy who incorrectly posted an old video of Trump golfing

A computer is a tool, not a toy, sir.

....

Just saw this.

2 minutes of warning he was on the roof and they didn't get this guy until after he started firing. What an absolute disgrace. We either suck hard or this was intentional negligence. I don't see where we don't have that concern. The crowd had ample time to run away into a field. That's way too much time. They must've found the lowest caliber agents to serve or they intentionally took their time. Either way, it's does not look good, imo. They had video of one of the agents ducking to avoid fire before covering Trump. It's just unheard of from the SS and unfathomable.

Online posts falsely claims sharpshooter was told not to fire on suspect in Trump shooting
CLAIM: A law enforcement sniper assigned to former President Donald Trump’s rally Saturday in Butler, Penn., says the head of the Secret Service ordered him not to shoot the suspect accused of attempting to assassinate Trump.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Snipers killed the suspected shooter moments after he opened fire on the former president, bloodying Trump’s ear, killing one rally attendee and injuring two. The Secret Service and the Butler Police Department say they have no agents, officers or employees with the name of the person claiming to be the sharpshooter.

THE FACTS: Following Saturday’s attempt on Trump’s life, a poster on the online message board 4chan wrote that they were a sniper assigned to the rally, and that they can be seen in a photo of two law enforcement officers on the roof at the rally.

“My name is Jonathan Willis,” the poster wrote. “I came here to inform the public that I had the assassin in my sights for at least 3 minutes, but the head of the secret service refused to give the order to take out the perp. 100% the top brass prevented me from killing the assassin before he took the shots at president Trump,” the post claimed.

But there is no agent or officer by the name of Jonathan Willis working for the Secret Service or the Butler police, and no internet records of such an officer could be located.

A spokesman for the Secret Service said snipers are trained and instructed to act whenever they see a threat, and do not await instructions before taking a shot to neutralize a suspect. He said he couldn’t discuss the specifics of agency communication or the details of the ongoing investigation but said the post was false.

Witnesses at the rally alerted law enforcement to the suspect, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, after they saw him perched atop a nearby roof. A local law enforcement officer climbed to the roof and found Crooks, who pointed the rifle at the officer. The officer retreated down the ladder, and the gunman quickly fired toward Trump, the officials said. That’s when U.S. Secret Service gunmen shot him, officials have said.

Yes that Cop should have Fired his weapon
in the air, from the ladder

Then the Secret Service Sniper
could have then shot the Terrorist faster
and the Firemen would still be alive

But there is now
also a bloodthirsty rhetoric on the Left.

The problem is that both sides are incredibly intolerant towards each other and that is what is leading to violence against each other.

…strangely I was just reading this story in more detail…apparently Corey Comperatore‘s wife told the New York Times that Trump or his camp hadn’t at all been in contact with the family since her husband lost his life at the rally…Joe Biden had contacted her but she didn’t speak to him because she didn’t feel that Corey would have wanted her to, being a staunch Republican all of his life…she didn’t in any way hold Biden responsible but she just didn’t feel that Corey would have wanted her to talk to a devoted democrat…

…so sad, even in death that the political divide takes prime position before anything else and all of those words of…’Corey lost his life just because of his politics…’…and yet his politics are still receiving the more consideration than anything else because apparently in death, his own wishes would have centred around his politics…in that he wouldn’t have wanted his widow to allow any condolences or words of comfort/empathy from a Democrat…

…I honestly believe that many people sadly don’t see people anymore, they just look at someone and see a political belief…

I 100% think that this is the case for a lot of people.

It's why some people don't care about what happened to the Firefighter, or what nearly happened to Trump because they're Republicans, which in some people's eyes is a dirty word.

Similar issues with the anti-Democrat side, only just add Paedophilia allegations into the mix as the only difference really.

telling america to tone down political violence is like telling the french to do it. It's never going to happen. Their whole republic was born from political violence and the polarisation is such at the moment that it is nearly identical in how it is going to play out

The problem with the Americans doing it is that some of their neighbouring countries and allies citizens might decide to copy them, if they can see that it's A-okay to dehumanize like the way a lot of Americans are currently dehumanizing each other.

[Ninastar]

That’s absolutely what it comes down to. Not seeing people as human, but seeing them as a political belief. It’s awful. And the sad thing is it’s on both sides. I can honestly say that I have always fought for people to look beyond political opinions and just see people for who they are.

I have friends and family all over the political spectrum. Not one of them has ever hated on me for my sexuality or personal beliefs and I even know some crazy maga ppl.

I just hate all the name calling, the baiting and the pettiness this brings from all sides of politics.

Being happy a firefighter is dead and calling him a nazi because he was a trump supporter…. It’s just gross and tells me a lot about you as a person

I always wonder how many of these people who just look for a reason to hate on republicans/democrats have ever actually been to America and experienced what it’s truly like, not just what the media feeds you

I remember being so nervous to move to the south of America because of all the **** I heard. It turned out to be the friendliest place I had ever lived. They had a pride parade yearly and where I lived in the UK didn’t even celebrate it yet. I met amazing people of all races, backgrounds, political alignments etc and honestly, the only really crazy stuff I hear is from people on the internet

But you'll keep going back to them and listening to them. Because that's what you do.
