If that BBC interviewee is to be believed, it’s quite possible that LEO/SS were alerted to the shooter’s presence and already had him in scope while trying to verify he wasn’t one of their own. They could’ve fired at him mere seconds after the first shots and affected the shooter’s aim.Trump would be an existential threat for Ukraine in the war against Russia. I can see the possibility of someone from Ukraine deciding to take him out. What's weird is how the shooter fire multiple rounds, hit multiple people and killed someone but only nicked Trump. Will have to wait for more info in the coming days.
Did you even bother looking at it? The pictures are from Doug Mills NYT.
There's a reasonable chance that the AR was a pistol or 300 blackout and shooting less than 3000 FPS.
There are 3 pictures in the sequence. If you want to say oh that's an air vortex and not the actual bullet I'd say you could be right but it was definitely caught on the camera.
At this point I'm arguing with someone who's blatantly wrong and unwilling to concede they are.
The post that brought up Ukraine is full of shit. That channel is a pro gun channel, doesn't look like it has anything to do with Ukraine.Trump would be an existential threat for Ukraine in the war against Russia.

I totally agree that this is probably the case here. He's been seeming to imply the picture was photoshopped or fake. I only mentioned it in the first place because it's pretty clear the bullet grazed his ear and not just glass or not only glass at least.To me, that's not the actual bullet itself. It's the mist of Trump's bodily fluids being dragged along behind the bullet. It will expand into a fog very quickly thereafter. From the ballistic images/footage I've seen where a bullet has penetrated its intended target and exited, more times than not it will leave such a trail behind it, especially if it's organic tissue of some sort. Heard of the pink mist before? It's clearly seen through a scoped rifle if the shooter keeps a trained eye on the hit, along with a trailing shock wave penetrating the air before the hit if the weather conditions are right for it, like cold very high humid air for example.

Edit: This video seems to support that the shooter was engaged mere seconds after firing, and had been pointed out before shots were fired.
I’ve seen this ID a few places now but not confirmed at the press conference…so take this with a grain of salt.
Excellent. A never Trumper then... Can't blame Democrats for that.
Lol it won’t stop themExcellent. A never Trumper then... Can't blame Democrats for that.
It was a deep state registered republican who was indoctrinated by trans aborted fetuses rejuvenated by the blood of Christian babies who were sacrificed at the alter of woke by Hillary ripping their hearts out and eating them.Lol it won’t stop them
All the respect in the world to the Secret Service agents who risked their lives by surrounding Trump and throwing themselves on top of him to protect him. That said, it seems like multiple failures here. First, the location itself should have been better searched out so as to not have elevated buildings within sniper range of the podium. The Secret Service or local law enforcement also should have cleared all the roofs in the area before Trump was allowed to take the stage. I also didn't see any type of protective shields around the podium.This is the likely scenario IMO. It was an extremely fast response, and well inside the envelope of what spotters and sharp shooters are tasked with monitoring.
SS should still conduct a thorough internal investigation, bust heads. Doesn't seem to be any dispute that shots were fired from a surprisingly short range and that the primary left the stage bleeding. That's unacceptable no matter who the primary is. Period. End of discussion.
I call bs. Unless the person was recording with a high speed camera, there is no way a bullet was caught on film.
Here you go XDHa, shit did I get my wish from a few hours ago? Yeah let's get that confirmed, dying to know now
Dems should be universally pointing the finger at John Roberts. Sotomayor should be like, “I told you so…”Lol it won’t stop them
I mean I don't know what you're talking about. No shit Sherlock, Europe has been a fuck show before. So has everywhere in the world. I don't think anywhere is immune to crazy things happening. Wherever did I even imply that? But Europe has a bunch of countries that I can escape to if needed, and some are doing fine now some are not but I'll pick a good one don't worry about it.Wait until you hear the history of Europe before NATO.
If you think they are immune to this crap. I wish them luck, but they are still only human and Russia is working REAL hard to keep them divided. And at least some of them seem to fall pretty hard for it.

I would not count on it. The next headline is this is inter-party fighting, and people are going to be reminded of the chaos and death of Trumps first term.What tragedy. I'm glad he survived and am feel horrible his life was in danger from a gunman. I'm heart broken that the conspiracy theories will now persist until the end of time and that this incident will be held up by the right for about as long about how the secret all powerful deep state is out to stop him from saving America from the swamp and so forth. The dems are now toast in November and he will now be above the rule of law because of scotus. I have no hope for our future.
We seem to use Thoughts and Prayers a lot after another fine Democrat supporter causes a mass casualty event.
