Am i retarded? why is there comments from 7 years ago on the archive of the blackrock video? it was uploaded fairly recently. Were there multiple videos with this URL?
Youtube bug will sometimes bring over the comment section of a previous video you watched into the current one. Problem is, if you comment, when that glitch happens it will actually post it in the comment section of the current video. I had this happen once and I was discussing submarine sonar theory in a fucking dub pistols music video.
 
Which begs the question. How did this 20 year old smelly Antifag know which roof would not have coverage? Dude was carrying a rifle. It's not like he could just go roof shopping during the rally. How did he know where the SS would not be?

If you look at a map of the site, its one the most obvious place you would pick as a shooter. Especially since you could quickly figure out on the ground that it was outside the secured area. The problem with it is that its also a very improbable site because the shooter would be so visible and so exposed out there on a roof. The sniper team had complete visual coverage of that roof and good enough coverage that they immediately spotted and shot him. But somehow they were not looking at all when he climbed up on the roof and got ready.
 
Might be power leveling but I've already had some rough conversations with some friends that wished he died and it's a little surreal. This shit really has unmasked people so hard it's insane.
Yeah, I like to see what the most insane internet addicted population thinks about things myself so I visit reddit.

In that bizzaro world they are trying to meme trump is weak and scared now and will crack down on guns and lose for sure...

I shouldn't care but I admit seeing thousands of comments like that kind of chills me. What drives a hivemind to that level of insanity?

I am deeply troubled by the things I'm hearing. No one should celebrate the attempted assassination of a presidential candidate or former president. It doesn't matter what you feel about the parties or what your concerns are. That it would happen at all is a sign of very bad things to come.

Tbf the idea that security is going to be perfect is dumb, unless you completely close off the public, there's going to be an opportunity for someone determined. Security is mostly for deterrence. For all the people saying they should have drones and extra people and yada yada that just means more noise for whoever is coordinating to filter out, the idea is your general reckless dude is caught or decides it isn't worth it, it's like a lock on your house, you can make it harder and harder to pick but if someone just uses charges to blast the front of the house in then all the locks in the world wont stop it. Security is mostly about theatre and deterrence and stopping any retard who flips a coin and decides to have a whack
You’re correct that security is mostly a deterrent, but wrong that they couldn’t have done anything differently. There’s no excuse for that rooftop not being guarded.

I’m not going to fedpost, but there are extremely primitive weapons that can pierce even the tightest security while making it difficult for the assassin to be found. We’re extremely lucky that leftists, while very violent, also harbor a hatred for history, military technology, and building things.

Years and more years of saying he's a man who is corrupt, coming after people, a "reincarnation of Hitler", non-stop slander usually does that.

This feels like 2016 all over again, even to someone who isn't from the U.S.A. What scares me is to hear people say "I wish he died". Well, what would happen if someone lose their edge and wished the opposite, upon the speaker? I know this is a hypothetical, and crazy scenario - yet do these people never think on what they are wishing upon themselves?
 
Commenting a bit late here, but now that the dust has settled a bit, I've had some time to think of the electoral implications of this.

TL;DR: This will help Trump regardless of how it affects his poll numbers, and could be the event that sealed the election

Obviously, this is going to give Trump a temporary bump in the polls. I don't think it's going to be massive, but it should definitely register. I'm not sure how many voters weren't supporting him before that now will. What I think this is going to do, is rally up Trump's base like never seen before. Poll numbers can be deceptive; what matters is who shows up to vote. Your candidate can be ahead in the polls, but if the voters are apathetic about your guy, they won't wait in line for an hour to cast their ballots. This is what happened in 2016 to Clinton. She was ahead in the polls, but blue voters weren't into her enough to actually show up and vote.

Anyone leaning Trump has had the apathy wiped clean away after this. Going on X and Facebook kind of is giving me 2016 vibes. Apolitical people memeing Trump in a positive light. Quiet Trump voters posting the "bloody fist pump" image in support. People aren't ashamed to support Trump after this. Rhetorically, any January 6th nonsense is completely squashed by the fact that some looney leftist tried to wack the presumed Republican nom. I think those people are going to remember July 13th come election day, and show up in support.

Meanwhile, something much more subtle happened yesterday. Everyone is memeing that this event saved Boogie's fat ass by taking all the wind out of the room. There is another beneficiary of this: Joe Biden. Since the debate, its been a constant barrage from members of his own party and the media asking him to step down. Biden's age was center of the discussion. The DNC is coming up in 3 weeks. Bad timing for Joe if an anti-Biden coalition steps up to try and get him to step down.

I'll be quite frank. Biden can't win. 80% of the country thinks he is too old to be President. The economy is a mess. His foreign policy is a mess. His domestic policy is incomprehensible. Biden had a net approval of -20.6 last week. Worse than even JIMMY CARTER when he was running for re-election. He flat out can not win. Trump, warts in all, had the country in a pretty good place when he was in office, at least compared to where we are now. The voters see that clear as day. A lot of establishment libs see that, and are scared a Biden/Harris ticket is going to put Trump back in the White House.

If Biden stepped down, the only one who could realistically replace him is Kamala. Together, they have $250m in campaign money. She'd be the only one allowed to use it as she is on the ticket. Honestly, I doubt Kamala could beat Trump either, but it would certainly be closer than Trump V Biden. Retardless, any media pressure on getting Joe to step down has been displaced by this event. It's only going to have 3 weeks to get started again. The way I see it, the next week is going to get totally swallowed by Trump assassination attempt coverage. Even if it starts back up again in a week, that leaves only two weeks that Biden has to tough it out, and he gets the nom. He gets the nom, Trump gets the White House.
 
It’s quite a shock when you realise how few do. I guess now you know, and you know that you do, and you know who among your circle does as well.
Shooter looks weirdly familiar to me. Maybe he just looks like someone I know but I feel like I’ve seen him before.
He looks like Joshua Weissman- that reddit-tier cooking channel faggot that throws burgers on the floor.
