Such a senseless tragedy, our thoughts and prayers are with the bullets in this difficult time. Disgusting.

I'm not going to shed any tears if a confessed pedophile, rapist, narcissist, and generally abusive piece of trash is killed. Trump being a politician doesn't make him any less deserving of death. Again. Disgusting.

It was probably Biden taking advantage of his immunity to get rid of a politician rival... Mod Edit: whembly let's stop with the personal attacks.

I feel sorry for the BBC Reporter covering the rally, as the dude is blind.
Imagine being in that sort of situation with that sort of disability? It would be terrifying at the best of times, but that’s a whole new dimension.

Is an assassination attempt on Trump somehow off limits for making jokes about how the right wing judges of the supreme court literally said that it was legal for the president to order the assassination of anyone provided it was a (completely legally undefined) "official act"?

Imagine joking about a deadly attack, you know, like Trump did with Pelosi's husband.

Not so much that. But why was the roof of a building with a clear line of sight not like, cordoned off/under observation etc? Sounds like someone really fucked up to me. Or I’ve been watching too many movies. Could be both. I'd seen a video interview of a guy saying they spotted the gunman and tried to alert the secret service by shouting and pointing for a few minutes and they didn't respond. So yeah, it sounds like someone messed up bad.

Trump's lucky the shooter didn't have a bump stock.

I just don’t understand how this could even happen in the modern day. Because the reality is it's very hard to prevent an assassination if the assassin is willing to die to take a shot at their target. I suspect there are, and will be a lot more, disenfranchised Trump supporters with little to lose. Someone who fell too badly for one of the scams and lost a partner/house/whatever over it, and wanting revenge.
That it gets to such a stage is terrible though.

So yeah, it sounds like someone messed up bad. They have crowd footage of him up there before he shoots. You can see the SS snipers behind Trump spot the guy and turn to face him before he shoots, but not take him out until after he does. There appears to be a lot of “Is that guy really doing what I think he’s doing? Oh fuck he did!” that happened.

The snipers probably needed authorization to fire rather than being able to do it on their own volition. That could account for the delay as well.

It’s just horrible – so surprising to see it here. But we have to get over it. We have to move forward.

Oh well... I'll check back here after November election. As for your "departure", you'll be back just like you always are. You aren't fooling anyone. That didn't take long, but I suppose you just couldn't resist a round of pearl clutching over the idea that people aren't polite enough to your favorite pedophile.
