A gunman who tried to kill Donald Trump was able to fly a drone and get aerial footage of the western Pennsylvania fairgrounds shortly before the former president was set to speak there, law-enforcement officials briefed on the matter said, further underscoring the stunning security lapses ahead of Trump’s near assassination.

Heh. I don’t believe he was hanging from his hands and pulling himself up to look.
I have found that the wildest, craziest, kookiest, most insane and unbelievable conspiracy theories out there are usually from the government.
Wrre there other drones?
"You keep using that word..."
It obviously happened, but everyday we are provided more details. If I were to believe the kid did all the things we are being told, I would have to say he was a master assassin with reconnaissance and preparation skills equal to a veteran of Delta Force or Seal Team 6, which is complete horse sh!t.
The feds are painting a picture of pure fantasy. They tried to murder POTUS Trump and failed miserably. They must all be exposed and held accountable.
Yeah, this does not make sense at all. I’m a registered UAS pilot. All stadiums and bigger events with large crowds have Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR), especially for Presidents and I would assume would be for Trump rallies. If he had been flying a drone in the TFR area he should have been picked up like white on rice. They bust people all the time flying at and near NFL games, etc. They can find out exactly where you are operating from. How in the world did he fly under the radar with a drone. Pun intended.
This would have involved either a radio device that could be found or an app on his phones that would likewise be apparent to investigators. I think we can lay the phantasm of a 2nd shooter to rest. Crooks had a rifle and line of site, why complicate things? Note that ballistics tests on any bullets should be able to confirm whether they came from his rifle.
Not to mention that the adrenaline was pumping and in an inexperienced shooter it is hard to hold aim and have a smooth trigger pull. Shooting a paper or steel target is a completely different matter than shooting a living animal or person. Pros are trained how to mitigate this
I’m trying to confirm reports that some rally attendees saw a banner trailing the Drone that said “Die Trump Die”
I guess it was Maduro and not CHavez:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Caracas_drone_attack#cite_note-20
For those in Rio Linda..../s
Look, man, there’s only about two dozen things so far that don’t add up.
Let’s not jump to conclusions.
Yeah, I was reading the same reports in the early minutes/hours. My first thought then turned to the 30,000+ Chinese military aged men who've poured into our country illegally just in the last couple of years at biden's invitation.
Then poof, the reported sighting went quite. Seems like a strange error in description in the early minutes in...Butler, Pennsylvania.
Trump announced on July 3 that he would hold a rally in Butler, PA July 13.
Jill went to a Italian Sons and Daughters of America function in Pittsburgh, PA also July 13.
Her appearance was announced in TheTribLive July 10.
They were from the Dept of Homeland Security. By the looks of it, they were probably frisking grandmother’s at airports before getting the call.
So how did this drone fly there?"
Ah, great question!
Does anyone know if a drone, on a preprogramed route, can be flown inside airspace that is secured by the fed gov (assuming that it even was)?

Which post?
Cheatle...what were her qualifications, anyway?
Also Harris was also doing some event or so I read..when was that announced? So basically, Trump announced his rally first..but everything else went into place after that
