How this guy got on the roof to fire these shots is beyond belief especially with all the sniper cover around. How some of the audience saw the assassin on the roof and the secret service snipers pointing in the direction of the assassin did not is going to go down in history along with the "Magic Bullet Theory". It is going to be very interesting to see what they dig up on the gunman's background. Geometry & angles. He's behind the ridge line on the building out of line of sight of the sniper on a building behind the stage. Were there snipers pointing in that direction? . Not totally clear on comparative heights. Audience was to the side of the building and could see him on the roof edge. Even the BBC is running with the story that the secret service and other law enforcement might not have done a great job here. None of us are trained nor know exactly what happened but we do know people in the crowd were attempting to warn police and there was a man allowed to get on a roof with a rifle and fire at the ex-President. Didn't former presidents and popes used to address crowds from behind screens? Maybe this is what is going to happen now and maybe Trump will get a larger detail.

Meantime, back in the real world, someone is going to get an almighty rocket because they failed to ensure that every angle and line of sight was covered by security and sharpshooters. Still, that rather little boring reality check isn't going to mean anything to those wanting to spin a 'deep state' conspiracy theory.

I'm betting they'll eventually uncover a murky trail of money from Crook finally tracing back to Melania's bank account.

Mm.....try suggesting that to the families of the dead and injured. Surely enough evidence to ignore this clown? maybe you are missing an intended joke ? I read it as an allusion to the right wing nut job conspiracy theories re. Sandy Hook, as particularly promoted by Alex Jones and various other gun ownership fanatics. Of course he may have intended to suggest it actually was staged.

Mm.....try suggesting that to the families of the dead and injured. The only reason Trump isnt the next JFK is because he moved his head sharply when the bullet was fired. LOL the "assassin" was 500 ft away Bullets start at around 2,700 ft per second thus 0 0.2 seconds to react and to what? speed of sound 1,100 feet per second so the bullet hits before he even hears it, the average human reaction time is 0.25 seconds, trained athletes are often a fraction quicker. Mythbusters conclusively busted this, even at long range a human cannot dodge a bullet Anyhow the latest theory I've heard is that the blood came from a pack used in films that Trump smashed against his own ear, and that the "Secret Service Agents" were actually Trump employees and blew the guys head off to stop the FBI investigating it. Apparently the company that makes the tee shirts the guy was wearing are very indignant that they've been linked One assumes if it wasn't real secret service agents then the real secret service would say so. For me there's something about the pictures that doesn't look quite like Trump facially

These are the people who placed rapid fire assault weapons into the hands of teenagers. These are the people who made a hero of teenage murderer Rittenhouse. You reap what you sow.

Remember Kyle Rittenhouse has been found not guilty in a court of law. thus he is not a murderer Stupid, got himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, didn't try to walk away when that was sensible, he may be many things but he is not a murderer

Not true of Daniel Perry. Who was convicted, and subsequently pardoned by Greg Abbot. The same Daniel Perry that prior to his shooting of a BLM demonstrator had searched for the location of BLM demonstrations, messaged friends on social media, comparing protesters to "a bunch of monkeys flinging [expletive] at a zoo", sent a message saying "I might go to Dallas to shoot looters" and also sent messages about "hunting Muslims" and about killing a daughter if she had a crush on "a little negro boy".

I am well aware you live in a world were the authorities obey the rules they set for everyone else. You are not comfortable with the idea Western governments and especially the US are capable of murdering people because it is convenient for them to do so. Google "CIA plot to kidnap and murder Assange" of course you will say it was all just "talk", but the CIA has a long track record of murdering people.

You are "well aware" of absolutely nothing. In those two sentences you yet again demonstrate your propensity to make pure assumptive statements as if they they are statements of fact, while being in complete ignorance of what it is you are talking about. In this case me. The hubris is outstanding.

Of course they do, usually with laser guided bombs on presidential authority, and? It doesnt mean that when there is an attempt on a US presidential candidate the first thing that is reached for is the CIA done it!

Personally I feel while possible its unlikely unless it turns out the sniper had some serious training by the US army or something....

Even now the BBC correspondents can't call him "Mr Trump" or even "President Trump" which they tend to attribute to all other ex Presidents just "Trump"
