    yes,
    I've seen black t-shirts with "police" on them.
    Camo garb with some kind of head gear and carrying rifles.
    then the SS in black w/ sunglasses.

    "A stray"? Who the hell do you think the shooter's target was?

    No, this was in fractions of seconds. You can see his head jerk high right, first shot passing close by, and then, he winces with the hit of what I reckon is the second shout, and throws his right hand hand to his right ear.

    So, you guys actually still think it possible the guy laying on the roof with a rifle pointed at the president was in a gun fight with someone else and Trump accidently got hit?

    The pictures show a youngish white male with really skinny soy boy arms. Strangely he was wearing a gray short sleeves shirt with a tactical colored US flag on the right sleeve.

    What he did is far more likely to be reflective of a total narcissist, a person who views himself as a King, urging on his leiged loyals to 'fight, fight, fight.'

    It was yards back in the days I shot those military matches. I shot my first one with a DCM Garand rifle -300 yards max was all the range I shot at had. IIRC we shot 10 rounds standing at 100 yards in ten minutes. 10 kneeling or sitting at 200 and 10 prone at 300 all in ten minutes and there was a rapid fire where you have to reload (Garands held 8 rounds but if you were using a M14 you still had to reload) where you had 60 seconds to fire ten rounds- Its been over 50 years since I shot that course though. I was 12 years old. shot expert

    Only those on the far extreme left may view it that way.

    Before this happened----I was worried about Trump being targeted---the hatred out there is so evil. However I have also been concerned about Biden. Biden isn't a threat to the right---but he is a threat to the left. And so many are desperate to get him out of the way. Biden needs to be careful.

    And to think that they accuse us as the ones being filled with hate. I'm sure Steve scalise can empathize with Trump right now.

    The Left wing media has been using very dangerous rhetoric since 2016. It was only a matter of time before someone tried to kill Trump.

    It's just speculation because so many shots were fired. I could hear eight shots on the video.

    That's the kind of rhetoric that inspired this attack.

    The Left could find a way to off Biden and come out way ahead on sympathy alone like Trump will now. They could win on gun rights as well. Don't give them any ideas.

    'Global reaction to Trump rally shooting: Shock, and questions about US democracy'
    'The reaction was a mix of horror at the incident, and questions — and, at times, conspiracy theories — about the state of US democracy. And world leaders, Trump’s allies and critics alike, heatedly denounced the attack.

    Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on X: “Sara and I were shocked by the apparent attack on President Trump. We pray for his safety and speedy recovery.

    Newly elected UK prime minister Kier Starmer wrote: “I am appalled by the shocking scenes at President Trump’s rally and we send him and his family our best wishes. Political violence in any form has no place in our societies and my thoughts are with all the victims of this attack.”

    Trump’s admirers on the global right were among the first to react to the shooting.

    Javier Milei, the populist president of Argentina, took a more conspiratorial tone by resharing a post on X that suggested “globalists” who were desperate to “bring down” Trump had tried to kill him. Meanwhile the strongman president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, posted a single word, “Democracy?” to X moments after the incident.'

    cont; more leader's reactions

    Learn to read. Point to anywhere in my post where I defended the shooting. Since your obviously slow on the uptake I'll explain it in simple terms even you should be able to understand.

    There have been many, many acts of violence committed by people in the USA with 'right wing' beliefs. That is a matter of record. That does not mean however that just because those people had right wing beliefs that the majority of Americans from the right of politics supported their actions, new about them in advance or encouraged them to do what they did.

    That being the case why is you automatically assume that the person involved in this shooting was motivated by left wing politics and by default therefore represents the views of most Americans on the left side of politics? Especially since the investigation into the crime isn't even one day old!

    So what is with you. Any Right winger who commits a politically motivated crime (if that's what this incident was) is a deluded individual but any left winger who does the same thing is part of a 'movement'?

    I believe the final tally for successful assassinations of candidates leading up to Mexico’s last election was 37. Not sure how many unsuccessful ones. That’s all candidates for all offices.
