it's raised the temperature of the election by several degrees. That's a certainty. Biden and Trump aren't now going to come together and sing kumbaya

Exactly! - and a second innocent attendee is fighting for their life.

How do we know the “shooter” shot them?

it was aliens shooting from ufo's then?

Don’t be so ridiculous

Don't be so ridiculous.

:shrug: people on here declare all sorts of news fake every day. The irony of course is that it was Trump himself who really popularised the "Fake News!" thing.

I find it a bit hard to take it seriously when the same people wringing their hands about Trump's ear and one dead member of the public (which is of course a tragedy for that person's friends and family, don't get me wrong) will happily shrug their shoulders about bombed out schools in the middle East, or have a good chuckle over Jay Slater memes.

Its selective, performative outrage and for whose benefit? No one is playing.

Appalling

It’s the same people feigning outrage that once celebrated at a father running over a child’s bully.

You can’t take them seriously.

Trump must have shi* himself.

Man why does all the interesting stuff in the world only ever happen when I'm unconscious

Tbf, Trump does look genuinely shook up in some of the pictures that I've seen.

Plus with where the bullet hit, there was a risk that it could've hit Trump's head, there is no way that anyone would risk that imo.

If it had've hit Trump's leg, I would be 100% agreeing with you, but Trump would have to be an absolute lunatic to be like "graze my ear with a bullet" I just don't believe that he'd do that.

I get not liking Trump (I'm 100% on board with that opinion) but it makes no logical sense for Trump to stage this, especially considering he is currently in the lead in all of the polls against Biden.

Shooter Shot Dead


Well done, Secret Service

Sad one member of public also shot
has died

I hate Trump lol. Never said one good thing about him on this forum. Just because im not a far left nut, doesn't mean i support Trump :joker:

President Biden

Flying back to the Whitehouse

Shooter shot dead fast

And another two were "critically injured".

I'm pretty disgusted.

Timezones? :laugh:

[Trump supporter claims he saw a man
with a RIFLE hiding on the roof just
outside Trump rally and warned cops just minutes
before ex-president was shot - as picture appears
to show dead gunman]

CNN HD showed it Uncut from the start
as Police started to get Trump up
he said let me get my shoes on.

I always sleep through bans and the subsequent sweeps. I open TiBB and it's the gameover screen with Niamh declaring "Phew".

On topic, 0% of me is surprised by any of it. I am very saddened it happened at all, but imo, it was bound to happen to either candidate. Was it guaranteed? No. I'm sure they stopped a lot of things we don't know about. National Security is very tight around DC, for example, and you can be expected to be profiled for the easiest of social faux pas simply for looking a certain way. There is no civility from govt employees in that sector. These events are more common than people realize and the fact this man made it this far should be considered a failure of law enforcement.. and suspicious.

This is a Doctor
who gave the spectator who was shot
CPR.


Sadly the spectator died

I’ll have the same amount of sympathy for him as him and his gaggle of psychos had for Nancy Pelosi’s husband and the many, many innocent children killed in schools
