Attempted assasination on President Trump : usa

Trump may have a slight injury to his ear.
For a less conspiratorial take, here's a NYTimes archive / live version :

When the pops began at 6:13 p.m., Mr. Trump appeared to grab his right ear, which appeared to be bleeding as he left the stage.

Here's the cspan footage where you can see it for yourself: https://www.c-span.org/video/?c5123735/shots-fired-trump-rally

Well that clears it up for me! There's just no way Trump would risk himself like that. This was real.

Idk about splatter, but how is it that, with all the people behind and around him, not a single one was struck by any of those missed shots? This improbable scene will generate unprecedented donations, as well as armed crackpots who will be going on vendettas.

The whole thing smacks of theatrics.

I'm hearing reporting that there is at least 1 attendee seriously injured or killed. This is still very recent, we don't have details yet.

There was someone shot other than Trump

Do the nut bag rights hate him that much already? Pretty safe to assume no Democrat would do that. They don’t attract those types.

As we all know, 0% of Democrats own guns.

[–] Nogami@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They own them, but don’t use them on people for political reasons, that particular breed of stupid begins in red states.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ah I see, 0% of Democrats have ever shot a single person.

[–] Nogami@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh look. The shooter is a republican after all.

Yeah it's pretty funny - he donated to Democrats before too.

Radical centrism strikes again!

He was shot by a sniper from a rooftop. Not staged
