Some cities and towns have programs to fingerprint children in case they go missing. Many jobs and especially government ones require it. I looked it up and “1 in 3 Americans have been arrested.”

But I narrowly missed it at my first university library job, which said the year after I was hired they required it.

But you’re right, some people get past it.

First Most Wanted John Dillinger used acid to burn the tips of his fingers in late May, 1934.

An alleged Brooklyn killer Hector Ortiz, age 43,on the lam for over a decade tried to fight extradition from the Dominican Republic — mutilated his hands to destroy his fingerprints, police sources said. NY Post.

If you work in medical/childcare/some governmental/military/locksmith/law enforcement/real estate/finance/volunteer at your Church and so many other occupations you have been fingerprinted. So many jobs require fingerprinting now. I have been fingerprinted so much my digits are permanently blue. lol

If you have no ID, you are probably an asylum enabled illegal?

Agreed. Was the shooter a retard? 400 feet is nothing with an AR, even with only iron sites. How did he miss?

I really need to be hearing Dan Bongino on Monday to see what his take on this is.

I was wishing to hear him tonight. You know he is having apoplexy.

The man who was killed was obviously a white male. He looks nothing like the Mark Violets whom the Butler police arrested in connection with the attempted assassination.

Thank you for that.

It seems like God has certain people he chooses to steer humanity in the right direction...and no matter what evil tries...it cant kill them.

Its more then that.

Look at the satellite phots...and it was one of the closest building to the podium...and just over 100 yards away.

I want to say this was negligence....but even a shaved monkey would know to cover the roof top that the shooter was on.

The range was 164 yards...and an AR with ANY optics....is an easy shot....and better yet, iron sights on a zero’d AR makes it an easy shot too.

Especially from the prone position.

Divine Miracle.

Even when he missed the first headshot....trump was still standing long enough to make a center mass shot easily as a follow up.

And at 150 yards...center mass shots on an AR should be made 99 out of a 100 times on a zero’d weapon..iron sights.

It sure looks like Trump might have turned his head just at the right time.

They have close ups images of the deceased shooter. His head/face was still intact, but he was quite dead.

Bingo, we were just talking about that. Just turned his head ever so slightly. I tend to agree. He slightly turned his body or head and whammo...I believe the shots came from Trump’s front right with Trump looking towards the shooter when the shots rang out.

I understand that some people are fingerprinted in connection with work or volunteer positions. I have been fingerprinted for my jobs in banking and at the District Attorney’s office. I did not know it was a normal procedure for positions that are not high risk or do not involve confidential or sensitive information. It seems like someone could work in retail, hospitality, a veterinary office, as a dental hygienist, etc etc, without being fingerprinted?

Perhaps if you were setting out to assassinate a presidential candidate you might leave your ID behind to make it harder for you to be identified after you have been shot. Saying that he had no ID on his person does not mean he doesn’t possess ID.
