Ye can't have it both ways lads! Just because you despise someone doesn't mean that this isn't a horrendous thing to happen. I'd say the massive fear would be a MAGA head-the-ball might fancy a response...

That picture of him is amazing and the power there, with the flag in the background will help to hand him the win.
Jesus whatever your politics you can't go round justifying assassination attempts, scary times.

Trump is likely going to get elected aided by this and by the fact that the democrats are putting up a genocide enabling sc**bag with the brain capacity of a turnip.

Not sure how i thought the secret service would react in real life but thought it would be more slick. Are former presidents that less protected that anyone can climb on a roof and get multiple shots off?

They seemed to relax a bit when they said it was over while the agents were still on trump. How do they know there wasnt more shooters.

Also cant believe trump asked for his shoes after being fired at.

Sniper on a white roof in broad daylight getting a shot away from 150 yards - complete failure.
Didn't account for a second gunman - failure.
And as for the faffing and fumbling when they were leading him to the Jeep, complete joke.  Wouldn't have been surprised if they had discharged their pistol by mistake, they were panicking.

Not that I'm an expert, but surely these are basics?  They needed to own the situation and they didn't.

Tough job in secret service, I'm sure those men have families. Imagine having in your job description that you have to take a bullet for an ignorant oaf like Trump!

I was thinking it wouldn't have happened under Costner or Denzel's watch reading that post

Look-Up!

America is a mad mad place. Saw the video of the shooting. I'd say when Trump stood up, about 80 percent of the crowd jumped up celebrating like they were at a football match and the opposition just missed a penalty. FFS. How can gun violence be so matter of fact? Anywhere else normal in the world, people would be either frozen stiff or running for the hills.

Well, i can't speak to the shooter's religion,  but for sure if he'd been Muslim, it would've been front and center.

That sounds amateur enough

I am amazed that the rooftop hadn't one of their own up there. It just seems mad.

Maybe do they think that he is less likely to be a victim? Are they a bit lax?!

IF he was got, there would be all-out war. Biden's security detail will have to really mind him now.

On the woman, was she smiling at one stage? Although when you see some social media videos people's reactions are insane at times.
them mysterons are always killing me but im grand after a few days.sickenin aul dose all the same.
