    No, I am questioning the reason to believe your claims based on your practical experience. That's all. Do you have any training as a sniper? Any applicable skills to this, like maybe having served in the Infantry in the military?

    If not, then all you are offering is your own beliefs with nothing to back them up.

    Want to know my "experience"? Well, we can start with 10 years in the Marine Corps in the Infantry. Including sniper training and training snipers. You are expecting them though to be able to spot a single person in crowded area that is several hundred meters square.

    I am not "trolling for attention", I am actually bringing up some very specific aspects that you seem to be completely missing, so I am making you aware of them.

    Uh, yeah. Did you see him raise his fist in defiance? That is going to be political GOLD for him. This was probably the best thing that could have happened for his campaign.

    I can’t stand Trump, but this was definitely a massive triumph for him.

    No, he* surely would not seek to take political mileage out of what is likely to become the USA's latest mass shooting? He'd* never seek to milk it, would he*?

    If, and I repeat if, the attempted assassin was an Antifa communist terrorist then Antifa has been all in on creating the pro-Hamas anti-Semitic riots and violent encampments. Same violent criminals who just change their clothes.

    And still, you are unable to counter anything I've posted but felt the need to quote my post and talk about the size of the SS detail. If you are claiming expertise as a sniper on the internet, excuse me if I pass on that claim. There are local and state police at each event in addition to the SS detail . Look at the BBC link I posted with video of the people that reported the shooter crawling on the roof to LE, and, feel free to pester someone else for attention since you still can't offer any relevant "expertise" to counter what your were compelled to quote and offer nothing.

    Back when I was on the ISU skeet circuit, I'd run into a guy named Jack Caseman, USMC-he was a skeet shooter-a really good one-held a distinguished badge but before I met him, he had won the national service rifle championship and then the McMillan trophy (handgun)-he was the best shooter in the United States military. He also was an armorer for the USMC shooting team. the famous Carlos Hathcock was one of his mentors. He beat me for a rolex watch at a side match at a world championship. I remember I (I was a DOJ attorney at the time) and other told his CO about it-since he had to report any winnings to the base (he got to keep it). well anyway, he told me that the Marines had moved away from the M14 762 NATO rifle to the M16 in 556 for the National matches where the ranges were up to 600 Yards. He noted that the M16 rifle was less fatiguing to well trained military competitive shooters and using a heavier (78 grain iirc) bullet, the M16, when tricked out, was JUST AS ACCURATE as the heavier caliber M14 rifles. So claiming the AR 15 is inaccurate at that range is hilarious. I never was in the same league as SSGT Caseman but hitting say a pie plate at 200 yards from a rest with an AR 15 that has a decent trigger and good scope is rather easy.

    The FBI is on it. We most likely won't know much about the shooter unless they find a "right wing" tattoo on the individual's facebook page.

    Here is a question I have- I have watched the shooting of Trump dozens of times now. Now if the bullet grazed his ear, the guy right behind Trump should have taken a direct hit. I am unaware of anyone right behind Trump being hit. Does someone have different information? Does this suggest the bullet hit something solid and splatter hit Trump?

    I thought he was shot from the left as you are facing Trump. That is just the impression I got from the reporting.

    There was a woman behind and to Trump's left (right side the live video feed) who dropped like a sack of potatoes in the video. I suspect that was the bystander who got shot in the head but we will have to wait official news. BTW two people behind Trump got shot; one in the head and another in the arm.

    In the video Trump is turned to the right looking at a graph on the screen and the bullet hit his right ear. There is also a freeze frame showing the bullet went over Trump's should, grazed his ear, then continued on behind him (towards back right on the video).
