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!

Now’s the time to ensure your powder is dry.
Better hold out Jack and not get 6ed just yet. This will boil soon enough,, on high heat though, hey?
A day late and a dollar short.
Yeah— “even” CBS. Why is anyone so quick to believe these a@@holes? They don’t know crap— except what runs from their mouths. Trumps detail is not F Troop.
can your average deer hunter make that shot? I know nothing about shooting. He clearly missed and killed someone else.
The Secret Service, of course, reports to the White House, and its leader (and maybe some other high level staff) are APPOINTED by the President (I believe).
So, was Trump INTENTIONALLY denied the level of protection that is normally afforded to prospective nominees, at this point in the campaign season? If not, that person should face charges.
Closer than I’d ever want to be.
Keep in mind. If he is AntiFa, Harris tried to protect them from being arrested and jailed.
American public can view a bloodied Trump surviving an assassination attempt compared to a doddering Grandpa who wanders off stage.
What a juxtaposition.

Right. Leftists will argue that HA HA Trump has to be helped off a stage too!
What president was shot while giving a speech? Yet he finished the speech anyway.
Trump would have done the same if he had a choice.
I found out about this from a friend’s call and immediately told my wife to put on Fox News.
Neither was JFKs...
Almost as if they wanted to let it happen......FIRE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!!!!!!!!
God bless President Trump.
That's what an alleged eyewitness stated.
If true, is there any LE agency that can be trusted to investigate this fully?
There are now videos of the shooters position.
He was a silenced rifle equipped sniper.

I can’t speak to deer shooting. My folks, however, were competition pistol shooters when I was growing up. My dad ranked 3rd in PA once. He could hit the X ring 5 out of 5 times at 25 yards with a .45. I have to believe that a 130-yard shot with a rifle wouldn’t be hard at all to someone competent. And Trump is a much bigger target than a 50-cent-piece-sized target on a pistol range.
“That means the shooter did not come close to killing the President.”
With you I sometimes can’t tell if you are joking or not.
Granted, having a bullet nick one’s ear is a LOT closer that hitting a teleprompter 4 feet away - but BOTH would be “close to killing President Trump” IMHO.
Yes. 100 - 150 yds on a man-sized target is almost trivial for hunters and recreational shooters. This shooter was massively incompetent, for which I thank God. Never count on your enemies being incompetent idiots; just be grateful when they turn out to be.
“high heat though, hey?”
Yep... this is the kind of thing that can be construed as the casus belli retrospectively by historians. But you’re right, lets not get excited just yet.
And there are now videos of the dead shooter’s body being taken away by law enforcement.

Now they are going to have to roll out Chewbacca. Is this fair to Chewbacca? Wasn’t he a good guy?
