Why haven't they ID'd the shooter?

  • This attempt is a consequence of Trump’s increasing rhetoric of violence 

  • It's just exhausting. Ever since he came down the escalator everything has been exhausting.

Secret Service saying it was glass that cut Trump’s ear is the funniest shit of this dark moment in history.

How difficult is 150yrds w a rifle?

Not very difficult plinking targets on a range, but this shooter’s stress was probably through the roof with an elevated heart rate. I’m guessing he’s more Fortnite than Green Beret in experience.

I thought about that, but I'm not sure how political that really was.

There has not been widespread political violence at this level since the 60s. 
There were several huge politically violent incidents in between but nothing so consistent as what we see now. 

I hope Biden cancels his trip to Austin on Monday. What a cluster fuck that will be.

Paul Pelosi survived an assassination attempt, Trump mocked it.

Biden called Trump to make sure he's ok. That's the difference.

Well they kinda shot him in the face. Unless he had ID on him, might take a little bit.

So this was staged BUT an innocent bystander was killed, along with the "shooter"?

Some of you watch way too many movies.

Huh. I'm old enough to remember this.

I think his depends are near overflow pretty much all the time, so this is a statement of general application.

He was the leader of the world's leading capitalist nation. It doesn't get more political than that.

I last visited this forum a few years ago and holy shit the delusion, hate, projection, blame, and mental illness here is just off the charts.

A good portion of the reg-lars are just absolutely deranged.

I know you understand the difference between those two events.
And it doesn’t change my point that this level of political violence has been ongoing for the better part of 8 years and we haven’t seen this sort of wide spread political violence in our lifetimes.

Donald Trump has spent the last nearly ten years endorsing political violence against his enemies. What the fuck else would you expect?

I’m really worried things are about to get bad.  This is a disaster.  
 

Anyone celebrating is what’s wrong with society.  Plus they are very short sighted

Absolutely this. Escalating political violence is another box checked on the failed state checklist. I fucking loathe Donald Trump but political violence is abjectly terrible for this country or any other.

There will be insane conspiracies that get propagated in the information vacuum. There will be violent responses and more innocent people will die. Politically, Donald Trump will benefit from a rally around the flag effect. His second term will now be even more vengeful and harm even more people.

This will go down as a disastrous day in the history of this county.

Also I have seen false flag conspriacies floating around. That is patently absurd. Yes, I acknowledge it's a staple of the fascist playbook; but there's a zero percent team Trump could pull that off given the scrutiny this will be under from independent law enforcement in the form of the Secret Service and FBI.

Some fucking lunatic just made him a martyr, played right into the hands of the fascist movement. This country is done. Going out to enjoy a nice summer evening in a free society while we can.

And for the record, I am glad he is okay. You never, ever want to see this happen.

God fucking damn it.

Politics aside, can anybody with some modicum of expertise speak to:

-Was that a suppressor or just a high-powered pellet gun?  The audio is for shit

-What caliber/weapon do you think it was if not a pellet gun?  

-Why did the Secret Service do that prop-up move with him?  They either smother the asset with their bodies and/or move it behind a barricade of some sort (podium/car/wall/bleacher)?  That was just fucking weird to hoist him up like "hey, here's this guy!  We still don't have the shooter detained, but check out this shit!"   That's weird even by low-level FBI shit.  

Okay, so forget my first two questions.  Due to reliable reports, was an actual rifle at mid-range, using mid-caliber ammo.  Not the best shooter in the world, not the worst.  

Still makes zero fucking sense though, to my third point and as many of you have pointed out, that the SS agents would hoist him up like that after the shots.  Even if the agents/LEO's that took the shooter down radio'd back, "Shooter is down" to the agents on the stage...you don't lift up the asset and just freeze in place like Simon Says.  You move quickly.  "Well, Lobo...they had already taken the shooter out...so it was all good."  Yeah, I forget that snipers never work in teams.  Totally beyond reality that the first guy gets attention to the West while the real firepower comes from the South or East.  this isn't Major Winters level shit, this is Geometry 101.  Why in the fuck did they do that?  That's so weird to me.
