Donald Trump has been rushed off stage after multiple shots were heard at a rally in Pennsylvania, where the former president was speaking.
Images showed blood on Mr Trump’s face and ear and snipers on the roof near the stage where Mr Trump was standing.
A statement from the Trump campaign […] "He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility.
The post has video of the event and immediate aftermath (minimal blood/gore etc)
As of about 9:50 Melbourne time, Reuters and AP are both independently reporting two deaths: a “shooter” and an audience member / rally attendee.
Be skeptical of updates from unvetted sources like social media. Reuters and AP have more if you want something faster than local news.
I have to go life now so there’ll be no more timely edits with new information unless it’s so insane that someone barges in to tell me about it.
You fools! You were supposed to use the guillotine!
Lots of people are saying this is a false flag
Like it’s that unbelievable that a guy who has promised to be a dictator, put women at risk of death, basically arrest political rivals unjustifiably and pardon criminals isn’t one of the earths most hated men
Would be a very risky shot to take as a false flag (unless they were actually using a BB gun or something).
EDIT: 2 people are apparently dead, so I doubt the BB gun theory.
There’s something a bit NQR about this, can’t quite put my finger on it. Shooter pops 7 shots into a crowd and doesn’t injure anyone else? Maybe I’m a cynic, but Mr Bone Spurs acts a little too cooly for someone who just got shot. And that fist shaking defiant pose? What secret service/security people would pause to let him do that?Looks more staged than a Christmas special lol.
Edit: apparently a rally attendee was killed. Not the right one, unfortunately.
There’s a certain irony that Trump has become a victim of the political violence that he himself has stirred up.
While political violence is unacceptable, I can’t help but think there’s a bit of karma here.
While political violins is unacceptable
I would stop thinking that way, or you’re just asking yourself to be tread on by fascists. You think these fuckers would stop at any length, after they made this much progress? They’ll be forming militias and organizing with police while redditors and .world sit on their asses talking about voOOoting and condemning any efforts at actual change, because they don’t work within the confines liberal pacifist morality. Democracy is over (if it was ever alive in the first place), even in the off-chance Genocide Joe’s rotting corpse wins the next election the supreme court will just decide it was illegitimate, if not sooner.
The only way to stop this kind of thing is a good guy with a gun so you need to arm everyone in the audience.
