He won't be the last one to do so, and in the context of the election having more of them exhibit their crazy will be to the Dems benefit.

Yeah, politics and conspiracy theories aside.  Why would you standup the target like that when you still aren't sure the shooter has been taken down?  You either smother it with your bodies or you lower it and shuffle it to an embankment/cover position?  I'm sure we'll be unpacking this for years, but of all the Secret Service guys I know, I've near heard one of them say, "Yeah, if anything happens to an asset...we totally foist them up like a participation trophy in front of the shooter who we haven't yet located."  But here we down the Rabbit Hole...

In the audio, you can clearly hear shooter is down … twice.

That’s VP JD Vance to you. 

Seriously, this absolutely falls in the every accusation is an admission category. So predictable. 

This is also very predictable.  People dying in Houston but Abbott is in Asia and more concerned with Trump. 

 

Everything is fluid so grain of salt here: SIAP my wifi is slow. Cant get stuff to work. Pics aren’t loading yall are posting. Sorry again. Take with grain of salt.

Yeah, I found another clip where you can make it out better.  the first two rough cuts I watched right after it came out were ruffled as shit.  

Still, even my team hears "Shooter is Down", my first instinct as an agent wouldn't be "Okay, I don't know that voice 100 yards away muffled by crowd and ambient outdoor noise, so let me just go ahead and lift up the asset to  a standing target position  and just assume that wasn't a distraction of covering fire so the real shooter can then hit him easier."  It would likely be more akin to their training of "get him the fuck off the stage, if you can't, get the fuck on top of him."  I mean this isn't Secret Service 101, this is basic training for JROTC.

Starting to come out that trunp was hit by glass fragments from a shattered teleprompter, not a bullet.

Someone tried to kill him. WTF would we worry about what the bullet hit or where the damage came from? Does it make it better the bullet potentially hit a teleprompter and not his forehead?

Had to unfollow a ton of fellow longhorns on twitter who are all "I wasn’t gonna vote before but I know who I’m voting for now!"

Why does an assassination attempt make someone a better presidential candidate please?!?!

Stop being emotional and get ahold of yourself.

Everyone coming on the internet saying I wasn't going to vote but now I am is a lying sack of shit.  They were in the 35% the entire time and just didn't want to admit it publicly.

It's a bit of news, why does it matter so much to you? 

So there are 3 concentric circles or waves of SS and LE around Trump. The first circle is the group who reached him first. The second or third group nailed the possible shooter.

 

behind him stage left up at the second highest rafter is I think where the person rally attendee was shot. Bc a group forms around that person it looks like. Maybe.

Can’t answer a question?

Siri, what are the perfect conditions that will allow for a Trump re-election?

Yes. Because the bloody fist pump isn’t some next level gladiator shit.

Not having this happen in a long time all briefings and info will only be coming from the Secret Service at this point. So who knows what info we get and when we get it. 
 

Most of what’s on social media is probably accurate regarding shooter but it may not be. Fluid.

Appears to be a white person. I'm going to make a bit of speculation that the shooter was ex-military. 150 yards away with a sniper rifle?

Nah, the right has been begging for any reason for more violence.

Yup, They literally said it’s only bloodless if everyone else submits. So yeah, this is what the right wants.

I know you think of him as your father, but you seriously need to get ahold of yourself. 

You want me to answer your dumbass question in a thread that is to discuss the situation when my information was just providing exactly that—information for everyone. People want more info and that’s exactly the purpose of me telling you it was shattered glass that hit him and not a bullet. 

You are too emotional about this that you can’t even think.

It sucks that this response is full of snark, but it's perfect given the history of the response to mass shootings in this country.

150 yards….man in Lethal Weapon Riggs hit a guy from a 1000 yards in high wind. But I would think the perimeter that close would have been cleared? That is just fucking bizarre to me. 

I mean, politicians give rallies around buildings every single day.  But the access to those buildings is pretty heavily vetted prior to.  This is a fucking multi-modal trailer that anybody can just scale in a matter of minutes.  And oh wait?  It's tan with green trees behind it and the shooter appears to be wearing tan and green?  Who the fuck decided to let those trailers just sit out there?  Not like there's a fucking electrical ID-scan turnstile to get to a fucking mobile trailer.  Even if there was, does "Oh, I'm Doug.  I'm dressed like this with this here bag requesting access to the top of the unit for antenna repairs."  As usual in America, there's no conspiracies.  Only stupid people.  

Can you imagine what we’d be looking at if he’d been killed tonight? We might be looking at civil war.

Don't think there's any significant electoral impact of this.  Everyone saying "I know who I'm voting for now!" already knew and are probably the most ardent of his supporters.

On the bright side I guess we can classify this as a “mostly peaceful” assassination attempt

Just a sad day for the country and you’re cheering it on. It’s gross

Jan 6 was sad. Today was almost redemption for anyone who didn’t want their country’s political process attacked since actions deserve consequences.
 

But if you think today was sad, then it was always inevitable after traitors followed trump on Jan 6. Babbit, trump,  and their ilk reap what trump sowed with his everyday hate, lying, fear mongering, divisive bullshit.

It may help him in the interim but he will overplay it just like he does everything else. Do you think Mr or Mrs. Undecided Voter sees an assassination attempt and thinks, well now I'm going to vote for this guy. He almost died!

Really?  This is your reaction.

JFC your hate has completely blinded you (I also notice you didn't mention the left's prior assassination attempts on Steve Scalise and a SCOTUS).
