Official Trump Attempted Assassination at his Rally Thread

This says it all. Do I believe them....not really

They said Trump’s campaign did not ask for additional security. If that’s false, the campaign can challenge that statement pretty easily. If they don’t I think it’s safe to take the statement as true.

Central state has ZERO credibility.

Are there any reports on what kind of rifle he used?

Central state has ZERO credibility.

Another GROSS understatement.

AR15

You have to ask? It's always "AR-style".

This video has great visuals of the rooftop and rally layout. It shows and states the distance was 468 ft. Don't know if that's accurate?

It gets into some interesting clear Google maps street views at around 10:50 that show the sniper rooftop likely (allegedly) at a higher elevation than the shooter position. There appears to be a tree in the way between the engaging parties.

At 15:40 they show Trump turning his head up to the right to see/hear a rally attendee at the exact moment the shot was taken that hit his ear.

Caliber has yet to be reported.
At least I haven't seen or heard anything more than "AR15 style"

Tactical gear subreddit came in hot last night asking the important questions.

I'm glad I'm not the only one... They are $28 for a six-pack online. In stock in Castleton. (Indy)

That picture shows the gun used by the killer. I can't tell if there's a scope or not. Appears to have no bipod.

I don't get why it's so far away from the body ...

Between the ridge of the roof, the tree, and heat mirage off that metal roof, it's really not that hard to believe the snipers may have struggled with PID.

he may have shot to empty and then was killed while fleeing

he may have shot to empty and then was killed while fleeing

Or the gun itself was hit. Or he tossed it assuming LE would then stop shooting at him. His separation from the rifle is low on my list of questions.

 

[BigRed]

But of course.

"By the way, the assassination attempt happened less than three months after House Democrats introduced a bill that would remove Secret Service protection for “individuals who otherwise qualify for it upon sentencing following conviction for a federal or state felony.” The bill, sponsored by Jan. 6 Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, would have affected one person and one person only: Donald Trump." - Byron York

He didn’t turn his torso and from a purely

he didn’t turn his torso and from a tactical standpoint, that’s where the shooter made his mistake. You shoot center mass. This yahoo took his shot at the head of someone who has moving his head while giving a speech and he would have been successful if he had known anything at all about shooting and that’s where the former president got very lucky.

His FBI handlers didn’t have time to teach him everything…

Witness there stated he drive by that place every day. He said Trump was near there for a rally 4 years ago.

He said last time there was 3-4 SS or cops on ever single roof top. His wife said she never felt so safe. You couldn’t help but notice.

This Trump rally he saw no one on the roofs… he was shocked.
