    did you folks notice that most of the lefties in here seem more upset the shooter has bad aim then they are that it actually happened? Pretty disturbing, ain't it??

    Five were by the would be assassin (according to witnesses) while the other three would have been return fire by the secret service sniper team members.

    “Very shocking … a lot of people just thought it was fireworks going off, I knew immediately it was gunfire,” Meyn said.

    Meyn, a surgeon from Grove City, Pennsylvania, told CNN he helped carry the man out of the bleachers.

    “I was at the far right of the podium, where the people sit in the front. I was filming him (Trump) speaking on my phone. Just as I was panning back, I heard seven gunshots in rapid successions, in under two or three seconds,” Meyn said.

    Meyn said he looked back in the direction the gunshots had come from. “I saw a man in the bleachers was hit directly in the head and died instantly. … There was a woman who was hit in the hand and forearm, a noncritical wound.”

    He said he went over to see if he could render any aid, but another doctor was already helping the woman who’d been shot.

    “I helped carry the body of the man out of the stands. They took the body to the tent behind the bleachers,” Meyn added.'

    They've got a dead shooter -- and by now they certainly know the identity. If they are withholding the identity while they round up any others who were part of this, that's one thing -- but if it was "a lone gunman", they need to reveal everything they know NOW -- images, bio, EVERYTHING! Unless, of course, someone doesn't want us to know....

    Do they? Sounds just like the more mild things Trump says about Democrats and other "enemies of the people" at his rallies, on Pravda Social and so on.

    I wonder if he regrets any of his fiery rhetoric and his incitement of violence now. The worse he behaves, the more he gets people on both sides worked up.

    Possibly, we just don't know. The suspect is dead, from reports, and in a day or two, his identity will be known, with a search warrant to his residence on what the LEO might recover. This is a fluid situation.

    The left has been using that extremist rhetoric for so long they can't seem to stop. Many are even cheering for assassination and political violence because they are upset they are losing an election again.

    All reporting is saying that the attempt on Trump's life will be a rallying cry so don't expect anything toned down during the convention this week.

    Very disturbing behavior by Trump.

    What kind of person, just been shot(!), still feels the need to fistpump the audience?

    No sane person would act like that!


    Trump is crazy. Never forget that.

    Sorry he got shot but it won't turn him into a pacifist.

    Dictators cannot be cured from their world-destroying aspirations.

    Let's hope the shooter wasn't trans, otherwise we won't get the manifesto until 2029!!

    LOL, that's how you view it?
    Its more like an act of defiance "you can't stop me" type of thing.
    You are really trying to turn a fist pump into some diabolical thing?
    Those biden Poll numbers are getting to you huh?

    That is most likely a shirt made by a company called "Grunt Style". That is kind of their thing.

    And yes, I noticed that right away. Probably worn as "urban camouflage" to try and blend into the crowd. President Trump is popular among vets.

    It appears the bullet was only off by maybe a couple inches and they said that he was shooting from outside the venue..... I'm curious how many yards away.

    Trump was saying "if you want to really see something this sad, take a look at" then he got hit with the bullet.
    Right before saying that he trashed Biden as being the worst president on immigration.

    Multiple eye witnesses. Keep on projecting your hateful rhetoric tho. It is entertaining. Just like the right and the Pelosi claims.

    No, it's my view, and I am nowhere near 'far extreme left.'

    Yeah, the video clearly shows a young blonde woman in a red hat dropping like a sack of potatoes due to (what I suspect) was a fatal head shot. Right behind Trump (slightly to Trump's left, right side from the video view, and a row or two up from the podium).

    Left wing twitter is cheering her murder and falsely claiming she was a "fascist". Tens of not hundreds of thousands of them; so many they got that awful hashtag trending.

    Well, most ranges I fired on were meter ranges. But the last one and the one that I ran were in yards. Of course, it was also a range built in the 1920s when Mare Island was the West Coast MCRD. For use with the M1903 Springfield so we still had a 600 yard line.

    Whenever we had extra loose rounds at the end of qual day, we would send the Marines to the 600 yard line and let them continue for fun. Bit it also helped show them that the M16A2 was accurate even at those ranges. We also often had the NRA reserve our range for competitions at that range. We were one of the few ranges in Northern California that had a certified 600 yard line.

    Joe Biden last week:
    Harry Sissen (a Biden stooge) several hours before the shooting:
    upload_2024-7-13_21-54-44.png

    We have eye witnesses who tried to get the Secret Service and police to stop the shooter for three minutes while he scaled the building. They were screaming and yelling and pointing at the shooter. From what I have heard, the shooter was AntiFa (the terrorist arm of the Democrat Party).

    It is clear to me that the Democrats incited this violence at an absolute bare minimum. If they are also complicit or participated in this attempted assassination, the relevant Democrat operatives should be put on trial for their lives. I do not trust the FBI to investigate this. I would like to see an investigation by a police department from the nearest Red city. If the FBI bury this shooters bio as hard as they buried the trans shooters bio, they should be held accountable when Trump assumes office.

    The guy was just shot!! Yet his first thought is to make a public statement?? (Fistpump.)

    Trump's mental state of mind is totally f*ked up!

    He probably thinks he is Adolf Hitler now - (who also survived an assassination attempt.)

    Trump is nuts!

    It seems the left arm has tattoos on it. It also looks like he tried to dress in a military style uniform of some sort. Plausibly to try to blend in? Maybe so people didn't wonder why he had a rifle?

    Who could still fist bump? A badass. A man.

    You would probably still be in hysterics crying and screaming "Oh My God!"
