Exactly the image I was thinking of. Almost seems too good to be true for Trump. |  |

Donald trump just got shot on the news! on 07:46 - Jul 14 by MidlandBlue25 | The Labour Party would be in trouble then according to you given they’ve spent the last 10 years demonising the white working class. Doesn’t excuse killing though. |
Eh? Sorry mate, you're gonna have to show your workings on that one. |  |

Donald trump just got shot on the news! on 10:43 - Jul 14 by redrickstuhaart | The desperate tap dance you are doing is painful to see. His comments were clear. Not a direct call to violence, but pursuing the narrative that there is something sinister and institutional to be fought against, and that it was behind the incident. Which is plainly blx. |
He’s also praised those who’ve been convicted of crimes during the insurrection as heroes, who’d he’ll set free if he gets back into power. That’s people who have been charged with a whole host of felonies, including assault and even seditious conspiracy (attacks against the State, in the same family of offences as treason). He’s a dangerous bloke. Much like Bolsonaro in Brazil, but luckily for Brazil their courts stepped in to prevent him from running again for a while. America needs a similar mechanism to block people who are criminals and undermine the State for running for President. |  |

Weirdly, this image came to my mind too. I offer no narrative regarding motive or theories, but those two images are remarkably reminiscent of each other. As an interesting aside, the flag raising at Iwo Jima was recreated as there were no cameras that captuted the original raising. They did it again when the photograper arrived using a larger flag and different marines. |  |

Donald trump just got shot on the news! on 12:22 - Jul 14 by Swansea_Blue | Yes, the court rulings have confirmed it was an attack on the state. But you can prove anything with facts A brilliant effort at defending him though by Europa. He should be Trump’s lawyer |
Europa might fare a bit better than Trump's current and past lawyers tbh They haven't been exactly out of the top drawer, despite their eye-watering fees Fees that Trump seems very reluctant to pay |  | |  |

Isn't being Trump's lawyer a bit of a risk. Annoying as europablue's posts have been this morning I don't think I would wish the Michael Cohen treatment upon him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Cohen_(lawyer) |  |

It's got a bit of Che Guevara defiance and Malcom X fist in it too. Almost the perfect image. |  |

Was there anyone on the grassy knoll? |  |

Donald trump just got shot on the news! on 08:32 - Jul 14 by ElderGrizzly | Secret Service protocol being broken, exposing his head and torso, while they have no idea if there is an active shooter still. All so Trump can shout “fight, fight, fight” to the crowd. Violence is deplorable. The capitalising on it is worse |
You can hear on video secret service shouting shooter down before Trump stood up. Also people saying it was a .22 it was an AR assault rifle. Secret service sniper had him in his sights and the 5th shot was the shooter taken out but only after he got 4 shots off. Major balls up by security and they had been alerted to someone with a gun on the roof by people at the rally so why was Trump still on the stage. |  | |  |

Yes, seen interviews with people saying their warnings to cops/SS of a gunman on roof were ignored. |  |

I suppose he could have registered as a Republican to misdirect people. Although the simplest answer is often the correct one, but who knows. I’m sure it’ll come out in the wash, as there’ll be loads about this guy in the news from now on. It’ll be helpful if he was a genuine Republican, as it could dampen the flames of any vengeance.. |  |

Donald trump just got shot on the news! on 12:58 - Jul 14 with 2418 views | Whos_blue | The next few days will be very anxious I'm sure. An already fractured US society will struggle to cope with this. I've just seen a report that a digital bilboard at the event is showing a picture of Trump in crosshairs with the caption "Democrats attempted assassination". Retributions to follow? Scary stuff. |  |

Regarding the weapon used .22 is caliber not mm. The standard NATO round is 5.56mm which is the same as .22 caliber. We tend to think of .22 as less lethal in this country as it's associated with air rifles but a .22 round in a firearm is highly lethal, just ask JFK. |  |

They confirmed ‘a’ shooter was down. They’ve admitted they didn’t know if there was more than one shooter. It was a complete breach of policy to expose his torso/head 30 seconds after the shots were fired. |  | |  |

Did that happen only in your head? Comparing a photo, to a photo. The inference is entirely yours. And that's the beauty of art. |  | |  |

From what I have read, given the building was outside the rally boundaries, it was only local police who were told about the potential gunman, and they might not have had a direct line to the Secret Service people to raise instant warning. But details keep changing and clarifying all the time so who knows. |  |

Why they don't have bullet proof portable shields available specifically for situations like this, I have no idea. |  | |  |

Being registered as a Republican or Democrat in the States is not the same as being a party member here. It’s just a loose statement of political preference you indicate on forms, surveys, censuses and so on. It’s not party membership, there is no subscription to pay as such. Would be good to have this clarified further by any Yankee posters here. |  |
