1. David Jake Dutch’s Beginnings And Two Shots That Changed Everything (The Second Surviving Victim)

IMG_6424.jpegIMG_6430.jpegIMG_6427.jpegIMG_6431.jpegIMG_6435.jpeg


Throughout this thread as well as others, Mr. Comperatore and his heroic actions were mentioned in full. Specifically, I had written a short summary of his life and his tragic end here: https://kiwifarms.st/threads/us-politics-general.111266/page-5236#post-18846033

Corey Comperatore had shielded his daughter and wife from bullets by the shooter. Despite knowing that the cost of his actions could lead to his death, Corey still decided his life’s end was worth it rather than seeing his family being killed. While Mr. Comperatore’s actions are documented in full, the other victims are barely mentioned. This is why I feel it is equally important to go over the other victims’ lives, and what they went through on July 13, 2024. Today, I will be going over the life of David Jake Dutch. Mr. Dutch (who likes to go by Jake) is a disabled veteran Pennsylvanian from the city of New Kensington. Similar to Corey Comperatore, he had always believed in helping his community, and always put others before himself. David Jake Dutch was born on June 3, 1961 with a loving family.

He has an extremely strong Christian faith posting routinely on Facebook about his love of Jesus Christ and reciting Bible verses. Mr. Dutch also has 4 siblings (an older brother and a youth brother, and two sisters). Not much is known about the high school, he attended or the jobs he partook in after. However, what is known that he was/is (unknown of the current status) married to Sherrie Lynn and later in life served in the United States Marine Corps. During his time in the Marine Corp, the marine veteran served in Desert Storm. For those unfamiliar with Desert Storm, or generally the Iraq War, I will explain what it is, and how it pertains to Desert Storm.

When military forces in Iraq had invaded Kuwait on 1990, the U.S Marine Corp Aviation went to war deploying over 40 squadrons to the Persian Gulf in order to participate in two operations specifically Operation Desert Shield (where a coalition of 35 nations led by the United States built up their troops) and Operation Desert Storm dubbed “the combat phrase of the Coalition’s campaign to liberate Kuwait.” Over 147 U.S personnel during these two operations were killed, and 1,000 coalition troops were wounded. In the Iraq War’s entirely over 7,000 soldiers were killed. David Jake Dutch during these dangerous times had fought for his country, and despite everything remained a patriot. Mr. Dutch continued to do work in the community including setting up a fundraiser in June 2018 for Leek Hunting and Mountain Preserve Inc.

The Leek Hunting and Mountain Preserve Inc is a certified 501(c) non-profit whose mission is to try aiding the rehabilitation of disabled veterans giving them outdoor facilities as well as land to do hunting, and fishing opportunities. David Jake Dutch is also passionate about animal rights consistently fighting not only for veterans, but animals such as dogs who may face abuse. He mainly posts petitions to better the lives of dogs in shelters, and this makes sense as he used to own his own dog who sadly passed on November 15, 2018. Later on in life, Mr. Dutch became the leader of the Marine Corps League (an advocacy organization for veterans) in his local chapter. Moreover, he has been working at Siemens for decades including presently.

2. The Two Bullets And The Impact

On July 13, 2024 was the day that everything changed for David Jake Dutch. It was a very typical Trump rally with friendly vendors, and chants of MAGA, and hope filled the air. Mr. Dutch was one of the many thousands of the people at the rally, but as we already know this rally turned deadly due to an assassination attempt on the former President Donald J. Trump’s life. The bullets that were supposed to hit the intended target ended up hitting three innocent bystanders. One of whom named Corey Comperatore had died from while the two survivors specifically one being David Jake Dutch was hit by two bullets (one in the lover and chest).

Friends of Mr. Dutch believe that similarly to Corey, David had tried protecting others from the bullets resulting in him getting hit. Thankfully, he had survived, but was severely injured, and had surgery on Sunday Morning. During these moments, David Jake Dutch was put in an induced coma, and in critical condition. This man had a wife, and a family mainly brothers and sisters. It is horrifying to imagine that this could have been someone we knew, and that is why empathy is so important. Thankfully, Mr. Dutch is now in stable (still in critical condition, but slowly doing better), and his sister set up a go fund me. The horrible things that Destiny has said praising the shooter and mocking the violence that the victims had to face may not faze someone who may not know the fuller context of the lives and contributions the victims of these events made to the world. That is why it is important to share their stories to humanize them, and start conversation.

The final victim which I will write about tomorrow is James Copenhaver who is 74 years old, and a registered democrat. His upbringing, and the events that unfolded on July 13 will be addressed.

However:
- It was a 1-3 degree slope at most;
- Snipers were on the sloped roofs behind Trump during the rally;
- Agents could clearly be seen walking on the roof after shooting Crooks;
- Below is an interesting comment:

Does anyone know when exactly the past rally was held- if there are photos of agents on that roof during that past rally, it would demolish Cheatle's argument.

Archive your stuff. It's literally copy+paste two article links. They even have a chrome extension. No excuse.
 
Aka "I'm a racist, but I don't want to sound like trailer trash"
Wrong. Racists believe that EVERYONE within a racial demographic are essentially the same in terms of mindset and behaviour. But I know that’s not accurate. For instance, I know of some negroes who are quite bright and do not engage in typical negro behaviour. But as a percentage of the overall negro population in the US, their numbers are vanishingly small and they have almost no effect on the negro diaspora.

In other words, intelligent and well-adjusted negroes are almost as rare as unicorns. There are exceedingly few Thomas Sowells out there.

Therefore, I am a race realist and I don’t mind telling negroes why there isn’t a single majority black country or city anywhere in the world that ISN’T a complete clusterf*ck.
 
Biden is putting together some sort of Supreme Court related constitutional amendment apparently.
Give me a rainbow, but I honestly don't think Biden has the Political Capitol, the pull, to pass a law right now, especially when it's literally just trying to target Trump.
I think any attempt to pass a law will just be ignored.
 
Oops, someone just outed themselves. SH*TSKIN OR OVEN DODGER ALERT!

You are a fucking dumbass trailer park hoe. That's my race realism- i know white trash.
 
I can't find it so take it with a grain of salt but I read that due to low manpower they were only able to do it a few days max of scouting beforehand.
No. On Day 1 of scouting, a nearby open rooftop with direct line of sight to the President is ALWAYS going to be secured. No excuses.

Not just a law - a constitutional amendment. It's a fantasy to think he could manage such a thing.
 
I hope he shows off the divot in his ear during the convention

Nah, he's going to save it for later. The mood around the convention is already high enough. Trump's a born shownman and understands how to work a crowd. Save that for a couple of weeks when the news cycle would normally have changed and then bust it out so that everyone is talking about it all over again.
 
J. D. Vance has an interesting policy on tech.

Trump’s VP pick is all MAGA, but his tech agenda looks more like Biden’s than you’d think​

In just the past few years, J.D. Vance has undergone a full-scale MAGAmorphosis. The Ohio Republican once called himself a “Never Trump guy” and reportedly said the former president is either “a cynical asshole like Nixon” or “America’s Hitler.” But while campaigning for Senate and serving in office, Vance has steered dramatically to the right, arguing against including rape and incest exceptions in abortion bans, opposing sending aid to Ukraine, and advancing the unsubstantiated idea that the 2020 election was stolen.

On just about every issue, Vance has aligned himself with Trump and pushed policies that are diametrically opposed to the ones set forth by the Biden administration—except when it comes to tech.

A former venture capitalist, the Hillbilly Elegy author’s ties to the tech world run deep. He worked briefly for GOP megadonor Peter Thiel’s Mithril Capital, before going on to join AOL founder Steve Case’s venture capital firm Revolution. In 2020, with backing from the likes of former Google chairman and Democratic megadonor Eric Schmidt, he launched his own Ohio-based VC firm focused on companies based in cities that are often overlooked by investors. The following year, he announced his bid for the Senate, flush with some $15 million from a Thiel-backed PAC. In his post on Truth Social announcing Vance as his pick, Trump touted his “very successful business career in Technology and Finance.”

But despite his extensive connections to the industry, Vance has emerged as one of Big Tech’s biggest critics in Congress, while also becoming a frequent proponent of policies that would build up technological capacity outside Silicon Valley. Though both sides would be loath to acknowledge it outright, this combination has at times made Vance an unlikely booster of parts of the Biden administration’s tech agenda, particularly around antitrust enforcement and broadband deployment.

Speaking at a tech forum in February, for instance, Vance commended Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan, who many on the right have attacked for her forceful approach to antitrust law. “I look at Lina Khan as one of the few people in the Biden administration that I think is doing a pretty good job,” said Vance, who is part of a small group of so-called Khanservatives in Congress, who agree with Khan that pricing shouldn’t be the only legal measure of whether a company’s anticompetitive behavior harms consumers. “She recognized there has to be a broader understanding of how we think about competition in the marketplace,” Vance said at the time.

And, like President Biden (and, well, former President Trump), Vance has also supported repealing Section 230, the law that shields online platforms from legal liability for their content moderation decisions and the content users post. (But while Vance wants to repeal the law because he believes platforms restrict too much speech, President Biden believes the law gives tech companies license to do too little.)

But the overlap between Vance’s tech agenda and the Biden administration’s doesn’t stop at concerns around Big Tech. It also extends to expanding tech access and development across the country. When the Senate first passed the bipartisan CHIPS Act in 2022, a signature accomplishment for President Biden that included a $52 billion investment in domestic semiconductor development, then-Senate candidate Vance praised the legislation on Twitter, even as other members of the Republican party panned the bill as “reckless spending.” “With the passage of the CHIPS Act, the Senate took an important step to ensure these products are made in America by American workers,” Vance said at the time.

More recently, Vance attempted to salvage the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), another Biden-era initiative that gave low-income households up to $30 a month to pay for internet access. As funding for the program was running out, Vance cosponsored a bipartisan, bicameral bill to pump $7 billion into ACP. When that bill stalled, Vance was part of a group that attempted to include funding for the program in another must-pass bill in May. Echoing the White House’s own statements on the program, Vance, from the Senate floor, urged his colleagues to continue funding the ACP, though they ultimately declined to do so. “Disabled people choosing between food and Internet connection—that is the choice that we have foisted upon them by not authorizing this program,” Vance said in his remarks.

None of this makes Vance some middle-of-the-road moderate. Even if he once was, those days appear to be long gone. On Monday, the Biden campaign was eager to highlight the stark differences between the two presidential tickets. “Donald Trump picked J.D. Vance as his running mate because Vance will do what Mike Pence wouldn’t on January 6: bend over backwards to enable Trump and his extreme MAGA agenda, even if it means breaking the law and no matter the harm to the American people,” Biden campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said in a statement.

But the alignment between Vance and Biden on tech issues speaks to the extent to which both parties have embraced economic populist policies related to technology—policies that favor the regulation of big businesses and the reshoring of critical technology supply chains.

Of course, tech policy does not make or break elections. Tech money, on the other hand, certainly helps. And even before his announcement as Trump’s vice presidential pick, Vance was working his network in Silicon Valley to build bridges between its emerging class of conservative political donors and Trump. Those same donors, including venture capitalists David Sacks and Chamath Palihapitiya, both of whom recently hosted a fundraiser for Trump in San Francisco, have met the announcement of Vance as Trump’s running mate with elation. “A Bestie adjacent as the VP?!?!?!” Palihapitiya posted on X on Monday, along with emojis of a bicep and a fist bump.

You are a fucking dumbass trailer park hoe. That's my race realism- i know white trash.
yes you couldnt name one area with majority black population that isnt a shit hole. Easier to just throw third grade insults around.
If you line up murder rate by city in the united states and black population by city there is a 1:1 overlap.
Its funny how redditors/trannys/jews who consume mainstream media like its their job will avoid actual discussion and just chimp out when people say things they dont agree with on a personal level.
