I was watching RSBN coverage of the Trump Rally in PA, and shots rang out, and President Trump had to duck - I hope and pray just duck!
“I’ve even seen comments saying it was probably Don, Jr with a paint ball gun.
Another said, “missed this time, but wait for the drones””
A few of the Redditors immediately realized that this ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT wasn’t in the left’s best interest. But they were drowned out by a chorus of “orange man is Hitler so this is a good thing”.
Best to take everything reported by nutbags on twitter with a grain of salt at this point. They often make stuff up to get attention during big events.
A stopped clock is right twice a day.

It looks like they let it happen.
.22LR can easily go that far.
A GOOD horse with a good handler can do ALOT of shooting very well.
Google MOUNTED SHOOTING CONTESTS.
Some reports are that it was glass from the teleprompter which likely deflected the bullet.
God Bless Free Republic
and that was suppose to be trump. I am furious with Secret Service allowing this to happen.
You people are just mad because I'm America First, and I refuse to worship Putin.
I have harshly criticized Zelensky and Putin. Yet, zero Freepers have2 criticize me for bashing Zelensky, but there is a whole herd of you that lie about me and such for my criticism of Putin? Why is that? Why does a U.S. citizen have to support foreign dictators? You tell me.
You guys define being U.S. First patriots as evil.
Remember:
In this election, Putin endorsed Biden.
Bush gushed over Putin.
Obama told Medvedev, who was just a microphone for Putin, that he would do what he wanted after he was reelected.
In 2016 the Democrats claimed that Putin interfered to help Trump win. That was proved to be a total lie, and the opposite, yet you people still cling to Hillary's lie.
I was one of the few people to call out that because Manchin and Sinema defeated Biden's spending bills, he skimmed most the money of the Ukraine bills to carry out his agenda. You guys ignore this.
If you guys hate the U.S and love Putin, go live in Russia. I am still a supporter of the U.S. first, last, and always. You and the Democrats are welcome to hate me for it.
Best take everything reported everywhere with a grain of salt.
Trust but verify.
Everything.
Always.
The shooter killed a Hispanic Trump supporter attending a rally in Pennsylvania this afternoon. The Hispanic community are going to be pissed. The entire PA state (university professors don’t count) just moved fully into the Trump column.
Thanks, buddy.
My daughter is great with a shotgun, but had never shot a rifle more than a pellet gun. She went out with some guy that had a rifle. She said she hit the gong at 300 yards 5 times after missing the first time. The guy she was with never hit it, so she stopped.
I figured she meant 300 feet. Nope - looked up the shooting place they were at - 300 yards!
CBS News.....
Democrats are temporarily holding off on negative reporting......
Biden said he will try and reach out to “Donald” to express his blah, blah, blah.
Didn’t happen the prompter was intact after the shooting and can be seen as the move 45 off stage
Yes, I’m curious about the copious praise for the SS, They reacted AFTER the shot. Did they not secure obvious nearby rooftops? and I’m also awaiting the inevitable government coverup so we will never know the truth. All I know is President Trump was nearly assassinated, an innocent was killed perhaps another seriously wounded and a dead guy on a rooftop
Respectfully, because we do not know the details. Assumptions made. The guy on the roof is dead— by whom? Trump’s detail is handpicked, not the C or D team. Beyond that won’t say more, any more than would speak to the large private security.
Probably should be an elite military unit assigned to overwatch of POTUS. The apparently useless USSS can be relegated to gofer duty. Bring them coffee, etc.
Interesting if true. That means the shooter did not come close to killing the President.
= = =
Well, he did come close. Maybe someone will produce a 3d graphic of the shooter, trajectory, teleprompter, etc. to refine the distance.
And, I wonder if a chunk of teleprompter glass or steel might have been fatal?
