Its both strange and not-strange. When it comes to using their “magic” phones, a lot of people have zero common sense. Seems like every other week you hear about someone getting killed while taking a selfie.
There was also a guy in a black top hat behind Trump and he never moved while everyone else was ducking for cover. Very odd looking guy too.
People react strangely in moments of stress. Probably nothing more. If she was a conspirator, why would she place herself in the line of fire?
Here's the reason for all the crazy conspiracy theories
1)The Director of the secret service has not had a press conference to discuss what is going on.

Nowadays, it seems people’s reactions are: fight, flight, or film
Some people are just not prone to panic as much as others. I can speak from experience. People have asked me how and why I stay calm when accidents happen or some crisis arises. I am usually oddly quite calm, but I don’t stay that way. I am capable of getting quite anxious and/or stressed after the fact.
a guy in a black hat acted strange and stood while everyone was ducking.
People are weird with their cell phones taking video of everything.
Speculations get us nowhere. Find and investigate first!
She appeared to smirk, too.
I think its the flight or fight reflex ands people were processing the rapidly incoming information to decide what to do next. In this woman’s case, while trying to decide if she is in danger she pulls out her phone and records. Different—yes—conspiratorial—no..
‘Gunshots ring out and her first instinct is to very, very calmly pull out her phone and film the whole spectacle. Does that seem like normal behavior to you?’
Sadly, yes.
There’s plenty of fodder in this whole mess that raises eyebrows. A middle-age woman’s instinct to collect Instagram content is hardly strange.
Where is the video or pictures she took?
Having been on the receiving end of high-powered rifle fire, the bullets arrive before the sound of the gun being fired does. Your first reaction to the sound of a miss zipping by is, “WTF was *that*?” It takes a few seconds for you to realize you’re being shot at and from which direction.
A “babushka lady” for our time
I DO know a father instinctively threw himself on to his family to protect them. He took the bullet and may he rest in peace. I hope President Trump mentions Corey Comperatore.
I don’t see it. Your typical idiot with a phone.
Air Tag as spotter?
no, couldn’t be that now, could it?
I heard this morning the various communications were not routinely recorded. Amazing.
Someone wondered if the local cops told the Secret Service by radio that a man with a gun was on the roof——meaning shut down the speech and cover Donald Trump.
Recorded radio chatter might give important evidence.
