Or at least used to until they started hiring proxies to do their dirty work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 14 July Share Posted 14 July 1 hour ago, Stadt said: That’s a disgusting thing to say That's a little bit of an extreme reaction. I probably should clarify that at the time of posting there were no known fatalities. In light of deaths in the audience I absolutely agree it is highly unlikely to be a political stunt. But you'd probably have to be quite naive to think a fake assassination attempt isn't something Donald Trump and his inner circle would absolutely conjure up. This is an organisation with a considerable record of attacking democracy and this will benefit his campaign. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 14 July Share Posted 14 July 1 hour ago, Mark_w said: I wouldn't say killed no. But it would have been nice if it'd been serious enough to stop his political impact on the world. No shooting does that. Him legitimately losing the election because the American people overwhelming vote against a rapist, fascist, traitor with extremely blatant links to Vladimir Putin is what does that. Actually locking him up for the very real crimes he's committed does that. Shooting at him just strengthens his position and inspires god only knows what in revenge from his hardline support. It's a completely senseless and unpleasant thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon the Hat Posted 14 July Share Posted 14 July Bloody hell. Horrendous events. I hope Donald makes a speedy recovery. Very sad that an innocent attendee has been killed behind him. In awe of the secret service who put their lives on the line to protect their man, whether or not they like him or his politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about names but whoever it was, is just plain stupid. No need for violence like this. Guarantee he will use this to his advantage though.

Mike Oxlong Posted 14 July Share Posted 14 July Just when you thought things couldn’t get any darker in American politics. Not just the shooting but how the far right are framing and weaponising it in such an incendiary way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I think it’s a safe bet to say it was a planned attack from someone who was actively against trump. But I wouldn’t know where the source is from- other than in the ‘ latest’ tab on Twitter.

Sly Posted 14 July Share Posted 14 July FROM THE BBC Here's a quick re-cap on what we know about the shooting earlier today at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania. An attacker fired multiple rounds from an "elevated position" toward the stage before he was killed by Secret Service agents One person in the audience is killed and two others are in critical condition Trump says he was hit by a bullet in his right ear. He thanked law enforcement in his first remarks after the attack and expressed both shock and condolences for the attendees killed or wounded He has since left the local hospital and will attend the Republican National Convention next week as planned Witnesses described chaotic scenes after the gunfire, with multiple people telling the BBC they believe the attacker was perched on a one-storey building near the venue The shooting is being investigated as an assassination attempt, according to law enforcement sources speaking to BBC's US partner CBS News President Joe Biden appeared on camera to condemn the attack and later spoke to his November election rival Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Posted 14 July Share Posted 14 July Crazy that he wasn’t spotted before given the placement of the counter sniper. In fact, surprised that any roof top wasn’t covered by some form of protection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPH Posted 14 July Share Posted 14 July Just now, Sly said: Crazy that he wasn’t spotted before given the placement of the counter sniper. In fact, surprised that any roof top wasn’t covered by some form of protection. if you look at the interview I just posted, it appears he WAS spotted but there seems to have been. Breakdown in communication between the local police and the secret service… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
