Reputator Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 9 minutes ago, CitizenVectron said: Man who was nearby says the crowd outside the event saw the shooter on a roof with a rifle, notified police, and for 2-3 minutes the police and Secret Service were looking over, but didn't radio it in or do anything. If true, not a surprise to hear the SS are absolute failures, it's basically their history. Holy shit that's insane. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is odd that this has largely fallen out of fashion in my lifetime. That’s the fun bit about powder kegs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sblfilms Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 If that story of the small crowd seeing the shooter and it played out over 3 minutes is accurate, that is WILD and you honestly have to fire a lot of people. But always helpful to keep in mind that people are absolutely terrible judges of things like time, and in a stressful moment like that, quite possible this was a much shorter span of time than claimed. Have to wait for more info for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5timechamp Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 It wasnt an assassination attempt, it was a guided sight seeing tour through a political rally with an interactive moment that went awry… the media just keeps winning, turning elections into this kind of reality tv is gangbusters for their business 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_m_b_m_b_m Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Isn’t there a bit of “brand loyalty” now when it comes to the immediate protection of the president? Like how Joe only trusted his USSS detail from when he was VP, and all of the agents who are somewhat complicit in J6? just saying if so conservatives are nothing if not incompetent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signifyin(g)Monkey Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 21 minutes ago, SaysWho? said: Lincoln? Garfield? JFK? MLK? RFK? Reagan? Ok, first world post-Cold War. When politicians are shot in the first world, people are shocked and go “man this is crazy and totally out of character for our political environment”. In the worst of the third world a politician gets shot and everyone goes “yeah, just another day in election season.” We’re there, folks. I’m being snarky of course. Biden’s statement to the media sent the right message. Unfortunately , like everyone else, I’m not expecting the same from Trump or MAGA-world.
