    Would you have been happy if someone actually shot Obama?

    For sane people, this is no different.

    I want him to lose the election…not his life.

    Nothing good comes from this, even if it somehow turned out to be a Mark Chapman/John Lennon type thing.

    Worst-case scenario is that this was an overt act of targeted political violence, but even the “best-case“ scenario is terrifying.

    I loath Trump..but this evening I will be praying for him and our country.

    That sure looks like he waited until the shooter fired.

    "Nine shots were heard, including three before Trump grabbed his ear."

    I'd like to hear comments from military on here about the movements of both these SS snipers. Sniper on left seems to look up oddly after taking a shot? Sniper on right crawls backwards after the shot?

    The Attempt on Donald Trump: A Date Which Will Live in Infamy

    redstate.com redstate.com


    Saturday, July 13th, 2024, will be one of those days in American history about which, years from now, people will still be talking about — the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. It will be one of those days, like the day President Reagan was shot, the days of the shuttle disasters, about which people for years will be saying, "I remember I was at X doing Y when that happened."

    Guess they didn't plan on the guy being incompetent with a rifle from 125 yards, fortunately. They see the Trump go down, then say yea ok he got him, take him out. Sure seemed way too fast (like few seconds) to go from hey shots fired to locating the shooter and taking him out.

    For minutes people were pointing and yelling about shooter on roof crawling up there. They saw the people pointing and witness doesn’t understand why they didn’t stop the rally…..so they according to witness saw the shooter and knew where he was at.

    Saw the weapon popping up, maybe?

    If they're watching the guy through the scope I don't know how the hell somebody low crawling on a rooftop doesn't initiate a full blown security response.

    I cant believe the side that protested the short skirt excuse is saying this. Because she is doing some serious victim blaming. And no, saying things somebody else dislikes doesnt give you a pass when you resort to violence. stupid c***.

    My money is on a PSA/frankenrifle with a 1:8 twist running 55gr Wolf bulk ammo. That's about the correct accuracy we saw at 150 yards with that combo.

    Thank God the idiot was trying to do a Lee Harvey Oswald instead of following best practices.

    Its really kind of odd that they would miss at that range even if there was moderate wind. Any half assed shooter could keep it in a 10" circle at 200 yds.

    Well, if nothing else, thank god this idiot couldn't shoot straight.

    Some of the upthread estimates were 125-200 yards. I was at the range last week with a 5.56 gun and 4x optic shooting at a C-zone steel at 150. Prone, elbows only, no sling or support. Nailed the cold bore shot and 9 more after that and it was easy. Any freaking idiot with a PSA and an optic zeroed at 50 can make that shot from the prone.

    So in the same thread we've heard both that they took too long and also that they didn't wait long enough.
