One of the most painful disillusioning experiences I've gone through in the last few years is realizing how malleable most people are. I used to think that most people had some foundational moral principles that could only be suspended in a truly dire situation, like a war or a famine. What I'm coming to realize is that a plurality or maybe even a majority of the population are capable of anything - literally absolutely anything - as long as it is recommended to them by enough people who they recognize as peers or role models.

Yes, most people use the heuristic of defaulting to what those above them in their chosen status-network think to make snap-decisions on topics they know nothing about, such as politics. This is pretty basic elite-theory stuff, it is the natural way of things and is nothing to lament. The good news is that when you have the status and control the signalling these lemmings cease to be your enemies and become your guys too. When the elite preference cascade hits most of these retards will be pretending like they never believed any of the crazy shit they endorse now.

Still doesn't explain why he wasn't pulled off stage as soon as somebody suspicious was spotted on a roof.

Stopped reading when I read "saw a telescope" The police/SS snipers were clearly using some kind of high magnification scope with the target within 150 meters away. They would have clear line of sight of exactly what he was holding. Regardless that roof should have been occupied by law enforcement for the duration of his rally.

I'm getting really tired of everyone giving the SS and Police ass pats when the bullet was literally a hair away from making them all failures of the highest degree which I think they already are.

Honestly, its even more stupid than that. They do not want escalation, they want to be able to use all the violent and escalating rhetoric they want but never have it actually escalate. There probably is a term for it but I do not know it, but each and everyone one of them (And this effects Republican politicians too, albeit to a lesser degree) seem to only ever view their rhetoric in isolation. They just... utterly disregard that other people said it, and seem to genuinely believe they are the only ones saying it.

Protagonist Syndrome is what you're describing.

2020 was wild.

Fair enough. To be honest, I've been scratching my head on why all roofs weren't covered with protection detail.

Because DHS has been refusing the full protective detail that Trump Campaign has been requesting, literally begging for, all year.

Expect Congress to rip Mayorkas apart again next week.

I just don’t understand how people can say the things they do about this and feel like they aren’t huge pieces of shit. Just scrolling through comments about the ID of the shooter and you have these fucking clowns going off about “oh he was a republican!”, “Trump did it to get the election!”.

Seriously fuck these people, why in the world would Trump need to help win an election that by all accounts he was already winning. According to all polling going on, even by Dems, he was ahead. Plus why the fuck does it even matter that the shooter checked Republican? Like holy shit he checked a box and not the other box meaning that his views can never change or he can never have negative opinions or feelings towards a member of his own party! For fucks sake I registered and voted as a Dem in 2008 because of black man and that was literally the last time I ever voted blue.

These people are demonic and it’s crazy that they somehow think they are the good guys in this fucking world. All while using Marvel movies and Star Wars as comparisons for what happened. Fucking sickening.

Same thing me and my buddy were evaluating. It was almost cartoonish.

That counter-sniper is out of a job.

I just found this better picture of the two on the roof.

I thought the guy behind, or I guess more to his side, was just a spotter but he's armed too. This means two guys were looking right at him

and they both moved to cover after the first shot. I mean...could they not see him in his grey shirt on a grey roof? Did they think that it was one of their guys out of uniform?

Anyways, I appreciate every single poster in this thread that is dedicating their time to finding and archiving new information about this whole event. Big happenings with fast moving threads boggle my pea brain. You're doing something very important, I truly believe a lot would be lost forever without people like yall.

The whole thing about "Secret Service policy is to wait until he's been fired on to return fire" has GOT to be bullshit. Hell the standard for self defense use of deadly force for a private citizen is lower than that.

BBC feed has new info every couple of minutes if this thread isn't working out for you:

Explosive material also found at Crooks' home - 16:30​

Earlier, the Wall Street Journal reported that explosive devices were found inside Thomas Crooks' car at the rally, according to people briefed on the investigation.

The Associated Press and CNN now both report that explosive material was also uncovered at his home, with both outlets citing law enforcement officials.
