There is always a tremendous risk for American Presidents and candidates. U.S. Presidential elections always attract nutcases. I'm guessing the shooter had serious personal and mental issues.
It would be perfect for trump if he was an immigrant.

CNN is now claiming they have a possible shooter in custody..
I also heard that authorities have said that the shooter's been "neutralized".

No arrests, no injuries, no suspect and nobody in the audience injured or identifying a suspect.
No wonder #Staged is trending.
So rather than condemn violence against a politician and former president, you immediately dismiss it as a hoax?

Just like you dismissed vandalism at McGill University?

Your true colours continue to shine and lunatic left continues to show how desperate they are.

Um, no, um, I think I'm doing pretty good in life buttercup and I think the Repugs will lose in November as they've done every election after 2016.
People who are in a good place in their lives can exhibit empathy for their fellow man regardless of their politics. We live in Western democracies. We don't live in Venezuela or Central America. Contrary to your warped perspective, U.S. politics are not a matter of life and death.

This is what a radicalized leftist mind looks like Skoob...

Can you ask them how we can "neutralize" our more angry and insensitive members?

Exactly what I was thinking as I looked at the crowd immediately behind.

Maybe this was all orchestrated by him to gain some support. A surviving martyr. I wouldn't put it past him. Once he pardons the shooter, we'll know for sure. ;)
You mean like the stuttering 13 year old actor who claimed Joe Biden was his idol.

I'm not going to speculate on who why yet. Let the investigation play out.


A few things. Saagar had a friend in the crowd who thinks it was a .22. That he shooter went for the head means they assumed body Armour. A .22 is an assassin weapon because it rattles around inside and doesn't pass through.

One dead person in the crowd. This wasn't a fake, a ploy. This was a clear attempt.

Well, that would explain why he was such a poor shot.
Actually firing a hand gun, looking like a .22, in a crowd with little time to aim, and actually hitting him? With what looks like the first 2 shots(double tap). He was a good shot. Especially on a small and moving target like the head.

I don't disagree with you. Imagine the nerves going off trying to not shake as you aim while at the same time the glare from the orange tint in your eyes.
