Attempt to Shoot Donald Trump in Pennsylvania

[NorCalMikie]

When watching the video, I think Trump hears something, looks the direction of the shooter and gets hit in the ear, that turn of the head may have saved him…. Just thinking out loud.

Maybe GOD whispered in Trumps ear???

Simply, there was a big hole in the Secret Service protection of Donald Trump. In 1986 I worked with the Secret Service when President Regan was on Govenor's Island along with all the VIPs for the statue of liberty lighting. Also worked at a local Colledge with the Secret Service for a Dignitary Visit as my name popped up during the Secret Service investigations. Based on my past working with the Secret Service they blew it. Yes, hindsight is 20/20 however when protecting a Presidential candidate, you only get one chance to get it right no excuses.

They tell us what they want us to hear; not what the facts necessarily are.

They've been doing THAT for years!! Look at the WARREN report.

The shooter WAS a Republican from reports. BUT, he'll be voting democrat NOW!!
With what went down yesterday, Trump just got ELECTED!!
Hell of a way to win an election but, whatever it takes.
Hate to think what would have come down if he was killed???

Love him, hate him, or don't care about him...doesn't matter. There is no arguing that the man has a pair! And I am not referring to his shoes.

Youtube short of SS aiming at shooter. Sort of looks like they flinch when the shooter starts firing.

Forum Boss: Note that the snipers were apparently sighting directly at the shooter BEFORE the initial shots were fired by Thomas Matthew Crooks. There are two Secret Service snipers. One with his rifle on a tripod and the second in a lower position.

The police sniper off the tripod has a hand written card attached to the scope turrent. Does it read 430? Just saying?

A snippet I had just read on USA Today, said no identification was
found, and DNA biometrics was used to identify ?? WTF !!

A good reason to not submit samples to DNA testing companies. I’ve not read their disclosure policies, but I’m willing to bet that they make the records accessible to law enforcement agencies. Doesn’t matter if you’re dead, but I guarantee that health and life insurance companies either are, or soon will be, basing premiums on your personal data!

Zinke continued to detail the security failure in a post on X.

'I cannot think of a single time where a point of elevation so close in range would have been accessible and not already occupied by security forces.'

The shooter was a rank amateur with no training. You shoot center mass! Head shots are for Hollywood. If it was a deer at that distance would you take a head shot or shoot for heart/lung?

Or he was an excellent shot and aimed for Trumps ear to "scare" him.

In looking at video, it looks like he moved his head just a fraction before the ear got hit. Coulda been he moved his head just as the trigger broke.

Agreed! So as posted earlier in this thread…

This is either extreme incompetence by the security or a set up. It's that simple.

SS on a nearby roof and the largest rooftop a short 150 yds away was unsecured?rting 260
A person in the crowd spotted the guy on roof and was pointing at him for 3 mins trying to get attention on him before he fired.
The whole thing smells to me. I call Bull sheet.

just incompetence..it is not hollywood just actual feds we got to see in action. why do they have the woman ss under the shoulder of a 270lbs of 6ft 3in man helping him off stage when there are 4 men 2 her strength in the squad? the same woman who couldnt figure out how to holster her pistolafter they got Trump in the limo. Just a giant cockup.

This was a very serious event that may have a major consequence in American history.

We are locking the thread because I cannot keep up with highly inappropriate posts by multiple Forum members. This is NOT a subject for satire.
