It was a sniper who misses the guy at the podium from a 150 yards? Really?
How much this will push Trumps felony convictions from the front page…

Just because he had a rifle shooting at someone from a short distance doesn’t mean he’s a sniper. Now if he was a professionally trained military sniper or someone who dedicated a lot of time to training their self, I get that. A sniper doesn’t miss at 150 yards, not a professional. That’s the length of 1.5 football fields. Most basics rifleman in the military shoot from a short distance of 200 yards, up to 500 yards. So I doubt he was an actual sniper if he couldn’t even hit center mass from 150 yards. Was it a set up? Probably. Wouldn’t doubt if one of those 3 letter gov’t agencies was involved. To let someone shoot at him from that short of a distance w a clear direct line of sight. A real sniper could hit someone from a mile away. Not only that one witness even said he was yelling at security to tell them about a man crawling on top of a roof dragging a rifle. But they acted dumb founded like what. What’s going on? When I worked near the airport, we had to secure the parking lot which was probably about 2 miles from the presidents plane. So the fact that security didn’t even secure a building 150 yards away. Makes me think they were involved.
the point is the sniper didn't miss. he hit an earlobe precisely as a courtesy warning shot
@Sevenpointfive well…he didn’t kill either. With a pretty easy line of sight. Which is why the secret service is in freaking.
please continue that thought
Liberals can't shoot and he got very close, literally an inch to the right and trump was dead.
My Qanon moment is that the FBI & SS knowing there are always assassination attempts purposely were negligent and though did nothing, were purposely lax on securing the building the shooter shot from as well as where they choose to set up counter sniper teams. They possibly just let it happen
Or they were told the roof was clear by few people setting something up.
Doubtful we will ever know.
Fact is that roof should have been cleared well prior. Smart would have been to have a drone flying.
@dustybiker2 the roof was clear. What they should have done was take it over and put a counter sniper team on it as it was very close to the stage and a perfect place to take a shot from at trump. The guy apparently wasn't on the roof the whole time, he just appeared to take a few shots.
The counter sniper team could barely make out the building as a tree was blocking their view. Clearly someone dropped the ball deliberately or otherwise who knows.
The whole thing is really fishy. Definitely dropped the ball. Everything should have been checked and rechecked.
@dustybiker2 I'm not a police officer or federal agent or secret service agent or a trained sniper but even I know that a roof top looking over a presidential debate from 150 yards is the perfect place to shoot from.
Exactly.
One theory was he was paid to miss.
These secret service statements throw fuel on the weird fire. Who knows what happened
Right wing policies are all about stirring up hate about other groups be they coloured, foreign, wrong religion, wrong gender, they even demonise people for having different political views or not being right wing enough. The problem is when you spray hate everywhere in a country full of gun crazy lunatics who think its their god given right to kill then sooner or later you pay the price. I reckon he was a right winger who was a big Trump fan until he got triggered by one tweet then snapped.
My gut says the same.
The shooter was a registered republican, no? Course they reject this and call him a closet democrat. Isn't trump a closet dem too? Of course he's anything so long as he's winning or making money. Which makes this being a set-up so believable. I mean.. ever have a head wound? That alone..
Wasn't there three dead bodies yesterday? Just pointing out how early news is so damn accurate. In front of thousands too..
One dead body. And it's been pointed out that the best way to defeat Trump, is to vote Republican and vote for someone other than Trump. This isn't new, this has been a strategy for many years.
One dead? Does that include the shooter?
If there is a worthy (as in will work for all of "the people" without drama) republican candidate please point them out. I've yet to see any.
Oh figures. You're one of those people. I thought we would have and actual educational conversation. Modern reds are so boring. Can't even suggest a candidate. Jumps to Biden insults and border walls. Boring.

You've never fired a rifle before have you? This isn't Hollywood. That was not an easy shot. I'm surprised it was as close as it was. It was not even a good rifle for that sort of thing.
I don't see why it's so hard to believe that someone would try to kill a president. It happens all the time. The difference is that it was filmed, and went viral.
It is the preferable interpretation, but it probably doesn't matter in the end. Results do. Trump is NOT dead, unfortunately. Everyone is talking about the shooting and not about the court business. Whether it was an intentional set-up or not, it has worked out in his favour...
A person died and risking getting shot in the head for votes? If the shot was an inch to the right it would have killed him. Pure luck it didn't.
I don’t think it was a staged, but I do think it will be used by his campaign in any way they can to get more money. And to be fair, any politician would exploit the shit out of surviving an assassination attempt lol
And they’d be stupid not to
Also, I doubt shooting someone in the air would be an easy shot to make.
*shooting someone in the ear.
More like the DEI Secret Service under a cloak of incompetence produced a situation when the future president of the United States could be killed by a 20 year old kid with a store bought rifle.
You literally can't stage something like this while Trump is moving around like that. A little bit of a change of wind would have changed the trajectory of the bullets.
What sniper? For an average shooter that’s definitely not a punt shot
And you have how much long range shooting experience?
Including the death of a retired firefighter? Only Leftists would be so ruthless.
I could see it but Trumps convictions more like brain drain Biden
When even George Clooney says it's time to go, you must know it's bad
You need to be sued for a billion like Alex Jones.
