All the "mainstream " left media is downplaying this. This is the 2nd revision at least of la times. https://archive.is/rWMVr

First said loud noise in headline (same) and had a paragraph about "apparently" blood. Like niggas think we can't see it. Couldn't catch that version.

Video of event i can't archive but the cspan copy if the gunfire is approx 8:20 you can hear someone presumably ss say "shooter down" amid all the are we clear, clear good the move chatter at 9:10

I don't think trump staged this an ear graze is way too close for that. The reaction of the crowd is befuddling to me though. Most of them don't get the fuck down, and they don't seem to panic or move. I have no explanation, but compared to false shooter alarms where entire malls and schools panic, it seems odd.

Also, no idea how accurate gunshot fire is over the audio at play but it seems suppressed or small caliber? Its very dull but that could be blown out mic pickup

Edit to add 2nd timestamp
Total California Death.

I would swap California for Gaza and cheer on Israel blowing it all up.
 
I know Trump is a gigachad and this is awesome for his campaign but I am feeling for his family right now and any victims in the crowd. I can’t imagine being Barron or Melania and hearing this, they must exist in a state of dread constantly wondering if this is the day he doesn’t come home. Politics man, not worth this.
 
People are saying "Mark Violets" is the shooter, and mention that there is a youtube video. Anyone have a copy / link of that ?

I cannot find evidence Butler police made such a statement, but their sheriff did retweet the shooting with kind words to Trump
 
Jfc Im sitting here watching Fox interview witnesses. It feels like when JFK got shot and they interview some random family any everyone is still in shock. Nuts. JFK even

If the race wasn't over after the debate, it certainly is now. The image and reality of a former US president getting successfully shot at on the podium, with blood involved and that image of him holding his fist up is going to fire up the base.

This is one of those movements where you remember where you are and tell your kids.
 
I know this whole "wasn't on my le bingo card" shit is terminally unfunny, but seriously. With the amount of happenings this year the bingo card would have had to be the size of a fucking football stadium.
It was definitely on my Bingo card for this year. We all knew it was only a matter of time given the rhetoric about trump being an existential threat to democracy and the second coming of Hitler.
 
This This This. Massive Secret Service failure.

chances are it was a small .22 pistol and those are pretty easy to conceal. I bet the shooter was just in the crowd right in front of the podium and smuggles in the weapon in like his sock or something. Security is kinda tight but on these big crowd events it's impossible to search everyone effectively.

I will agree that the SS response wasn't great. It was fast but they left Trump wide open if the shooter wanted another shot.
 
I'm wondering how this is going to impact his health. Dude already is on video needing to be led around by his son, taking a bullet that drew blood is not something a normal person Trump's age would be able to really recover from.

I also have to wonder how this is going to impact Trump. He survived by sheer luck here, otherwise he very likely would have died. He loves making public appearances but now the possibility somebody will be aiming a gun at him will live with him for the rest of his life.
