The aerial photographs are incredibly helpful.

At one point in my life, I was in a building where a Big Politician was visiting. The Men in Black with Earpieces checked us out there.

It is stunning that the same Men did NOT have a man stationed on the building where the shooter was stationed. Maybe they did a sweep earlier, but that building should have been guarded if not stationed.

A casualty in the early day of any crisis is the truth. That said, Incompetence certainly was on display yesterday.

The anger is not a result of the event, it is the result of the fact that the assassin missed. John Brennan is mad.

Are PA’s primaries still closed? Not unusual for lefty nutters to register cross-party, to vote in opposition primaries. Would this have been his first election?

They tried to say in the beggining that Trump wasn’t actually shot, but suffered from “glass fragments” after the bullet supposedly hit a teleprompter according to their idiotic “reportingç

This was a white hat false flag. Trump has referred to Central Casting many tim s. A planned shot heard around the world

after Donald Trump said he suffered a graze wound on his right ear

Look at that! NBC won't even acknowledge that Trump was shot, only saying that he said he was hit.

Hard to believe but the Ukrainian 79th Air Mobile Brigade is taking ‘credit’ for organizing the shooting of Trump. I guess we now know what Ukraine thinks of Trump.

I think the better question to ask is:

What made think shooter think he could?

What makes a 20 year old (or anybody for that matter) think he can just climb up onto the roof of a building while carrying a difficult to conceal weapon and go undetected when that building is a mere 150 yards away from his target, his target mind you being a former POTUS and current Republican nominee for POTUS at a campaign event where it would be natural to assume that the target and nearby perimeter would be heavily guarded and secured against any type of act such as the one perpetrated yesterday.

The two women “experts” give the most pathetic excuses ever. The State Police guy isn’t much better. It’s not like this would be assassin was an engineering whiz who dropped a homemade GPS guided small missile on the stand.

Thank God you’re all right! I realized on July 5th I had forgot to tell you not to drink beer, smoke cigs, dance jigs and light fireworks off your hat.

I said other stuff but forgot to say that, so when I saw the news about that gentleman in SC I got worried. He loved the 4th of July too and had just bought a brand new Uncle Sam uniform to dance around the neighborhood in. And then you weren’t around for a few days. I was just worried sick.

Good to see you’re fine.

Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens defended the indefensible:
“It is incredibly difficult to have a venue open to the public and to secure that against any possible threat against a very determined attacker,” Bivens said. “That’s a huge lift.”
Fire the SOB and do it now.

How did a trained law enforcement sniper on a roof not notice another guy on a roof until after he started firing? Further, there should have been SS agents on every roof in the nearby vicinity.

Twitter reporters say that he voted in midterms, but not in primaries. Of course Twitter has a lot of false information.

Trump needs to hire his own security force, loyal to him.

They make assassination sound so easy that it ought to drive hundreds to try it.

The first thing I wondered about was what happened to the the lucite panels that used to be set up around the podium when a high profile target is in the open?
