All a bit sus, imho. If someone was actually firing at Trump, and missed, surely some of the audience behind him would have been hit?

[vulcan42]

Perhaps the intention was to frighten Trump enough to make him stand down.

[Ken4155]

Certainly made him crouch down.

There is news that someone has died (presumably from the shots that were fired)

[wolf63]

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump had staged it.

 

[Ken4155]

Just watched the video again and as the first 'pops' ring out, Trump's hand flies to his ear. As he is being led away, you can quite clearly see his ear bleeding?

[wolf63]

It looks like they shot the shooter.

While I'm surprised that somebody hadn't tried it year's ago, it's still horrifying that something like that can happen with all the security at the rallies.

Shooter wasn't a great marksman.  

It is sad that DT survived but another person was killed.

wolf63 – “.. Shooter wasn't a great marksman.  It is sad that DT survived but another person was killed.”

 

You’re a sick individual.  Truly sick and morally bereft.  Whether you like Trump’s politics or not is irrelevant.  You’re openly advocating for a political figure to be murdered.  Do you actually think that you’re a good person?  Wishing death on someone with whom you disagree?

 

What a disgusting individual you are.

 

[Sven666]

Let me guess wolf63:

 

Your political leanings are to the left, aren’t they?  Of course they are.   What an astonishing surprise that you, a left leaning person, apparently sees nothing wrong in lamenting the fact that one of your ideological opponents wasn’t murdered.  Well, colour me shocked.

 

Your comment epitomises everything wrong with people these days.  You seem to see those with whom you politically disagree to be so loathsome that you wish death upon them.  That’s precisely how the communists and fascists thought: don’t bother with the complicated process of political debate and the cut and thrust of arguments; just kill your opponents and, hey Presto, you win.

 

But I very much expect that you despise fascists don’t you?  Because fascists are horrible people aren’t they?  So you can’t be a fascist because you’re not a horrible person are you?  QED right?  But yet here you are, disappointed that someone you disagree with politically hasn’t successfully been assassinated.  Hmm.  Doesn’t that make you rather fascistic?  I think it does.  And if you were honest with yourself, you’d see that too.  If I were you, I take a very long, hard look in the mirror and ask myself: Am I a good guy?

[Sven666]

One dead and two others critically injured, apparently.

[Mozz71]

A horrible thing to say Wolf. I can't stand Trump, and I think he has the potential to be an extremely dangerous person, but do I want to see him dead? No. I want to see him lose the election fairly, but I couldn't see that happening before, and now there's even less chance of it happening.

[wolf63]

Sven, I may have made a comment without thinking it through.  I want Trump to lose the election.  

But, your answer is a bit angry and extreme.  I don't know where I sit on the political spectrum.  No party is all-good or all-bad.  

My dislike of Trump is not political, he is just a horrible human being.

Maybe I should stick to posting cat videos.😐
