I don’t buy your Disney fairy tales anymore.
WW II historians have confirmed at least 42 attempts on Adolf Hitler's life–despite heavy, constant and tight security measures. This confirms that even the most fanatical leaders are not safe.
Barbarism in the highest order
My name is Matthew too
American news is the most embarrasing thing on earth
Fucks sake dude has a fucking mullet stop using his middle school photo he fucking KILLED SOMEONE
Kamala Harris for president.
Where are the videos of the shooter being recorded waaayy before the shooting even took place. There has got to be a few! I never witnessed one but there just has to be one, right??
she has very badly neglected her duties to protect the ex president so should face treason charges and a life sentence without parole !
This is what DEI hires look like… and what DEI does to security and competence.
Midget women who don't even know how to holster a weapon, are assigned to guard a 2m tall guy.
…and a "leader"(read boss) that says she will take accountability… a woman… will take accountability? …since WHEN? …she WILL come out and act the VICTIM, I assure you.
This attempt was most likely was fueled by a redneck father making savage remarks about Trump while his 20 year old overheard.
Trump got assassinated by the second bullet in a different timeline. It caused another American civil war. Corey travelled back in time and took the second bullet to save him and to stop the war before it started.
It's funny…and not that the democrats aren't without MASSIVE hypocrisy as well….but I've been hearing Republicans wishing Obama, Clinton, and Biden dearh for YEARS…then they act all high and mighty when democrats make remarks about this. Same as wanting those 3 in jail for YEARS and then saying they "can't believe democrats are pressing charges on trump" 😅….
Does the secret service use drones to survey the areas…thankyou
Bro how did you miss? Siiiiigh
why is Biden blocking the investigation?
why was a photographer using a camera shooting 8000 frames per second (the same camera you'd need to catch nascars, or a head exploding)
who is the woman in the front row who is looking in the shooter's direction, smirks as the first shots fire off, and then calmly starts recording as everyone else is screaming and ducking.
why was this the only Trump rally that MSNBC, CNN, and other left-leaning MSM have ever broadcast live?
who is the second shooter (shots 4-8 came from an entirely different weapon at a greater distance… 800 ft instead of 450 ft)?
why did they let Trump on stage when they new Crooks was a threat an hour before, they saw him with a range finder, 30 minutes, before, snipers had him in their scopes 20 minutes before, cops climbed on the roof a few minutes before, people were screaming he had a gun 2 minutes before?
who was on the water tower?
why was Crooks allowed to fly a drone before the event?
why were the agents not SS?
why was the staging building left empty?
why did Biden wait to drop out of the race until AFTER the assassination failed?
Why would he target Biden? And how in the hell could he have ever been close enough to kill him? He nearly killed Trump with the assistance of the incompetent secret service. No one in the government can be trusted at this point. Too many rogue employees evidently.
Ya, why was he on the roof for 20 minutes and like the video said, why in the hell would they let Trump on the stage. Now I'm starting to believe the conspiracy theorists!!!! Just agreeing with them really pisses me off 😭😢😮
Why hasn’t she been fired?
Let's ban golf range finders
BlackRock-linked firm under scanner for shorting of Trump stock before assassination attempt
3 different rifles plus the SS Snipers took out 15 secs after shots
And why the hell hasnt Biden been impeached yet.
Why was he allowed on the roof.
Why wasnt a person of interest detained. Why wasnt that female director geld accountable.. AND WHY ARENT YOU TALKING ABOUT GEORGE SOROS STATEMENTS HE WANTS HIM GONE FOR GOOD.. ARE YOU ON HIS PAYROLL ALSO ?
What about tge secret service ag3nt that leveled his rifle directly at trump when they were taking him away.
NICE TRY. We know there werent Biden pics on the phone.
“we got one” THERE WAS MORE THAN ONE SHOOTER
He answered Joe Bidens call to PUT TRUMP ON THEIR BULLSEYE. CASED CLOSED.
The guy was actually on his period, so he decided to take things out on Trump.
All I've heard is excuses up to this point. The pitch of the roof was a safety concern, the SS was understaffed, blah blah blah.
None of these things are good excuses for how the SS knew he was on the roof for 20 minutes and nothing was done about it. The pitch of that roof was never a concern for the SS. Any flatter and you have a flat roof. That was the worst excuse that anyone's come up with yet. Being understaffed doesn't explain how he remained there for so long. 2 SS agents who's expertise is in locating and mitigating threats could have easily removed the threat from the roof well within 20 minutes.
We all need to demand an investigation by a third party. The ONLY logical explanation as to why they didn't do anything about a threat for 20+ minutes is that everyone who knew was aiding this young man's attempts. That isn't speculation at this point, it's the logical answer.
She’s Jill’s dei hire!!! I think they wanted it to happen that’s why they waited!!!
Her name has CHEAT in it and you put her in a key position?!! HELLO!
The fact that he had to look up pictures to figure out who they were seems odd. It would be like someone being obsessed with Taylor Swift and not actually knowing what she looked like.
So did he only look up Biden also, also or did he also look up mangos and Nikes? Something tells me this video was put together with dishonest motives.
Stupid Americans will scream CONSPIRACY.The assassin fits the profile of a loner,low wage,nerdy,bullied loser.These are dangerous individuals who have been INVISIBLE all their lives.Pent up anger & rage seethe in these forgotten young men.A incident of this magnitude makes them important & VISIBLE.
Pribably never had a girlfriend
Wow still no new info thanks mainstream media
This is one of the worst things to occur at the worst moments. I will share this frustration here,
First of all, if this was ever even slightly politically motivated, I really wish it hadn't come to this point. An assassination is something that starts wars, and if histories anything to go by, a few unlucky coincidences, and you've got WW1 on your hands. One assassination is more then enough to do that.
I wish, however unlikely, for trump to be put in 'jail' for 2 weeks or a month, and for the court to rescind their court decision on presidential power. He could consider it his own mini-vacation, in a place where he can lay low and wait for the heat to die down, in a place secluded enough not many would know, as well as having the best security around that money can buy. Anything he could do right now would fan the flames, and the fact their is anyone, and I mean anyone who thinks trump should be assassinated, explicitly because he has crossed the line with the fact that he received no punishment for the January 6th riot, and instead a pardon so large that an assassination he commits like this would fall under that pardon makes it genuinely one of the worst decisions the court could've made.
Why? Because he crossed the line in the sand with the January 6th riot with the use of violence. People died that day, and police were used. Because he was rewarded with immunity for all actions of presidents hence because of this, instead of receiving any punishments. Because doing so made extremist's out of normal people.
Theirs a saying that goes, an eye for an eye. The reason it went unbroken was because without it, people would do worse and worse things against each-other for even some of the most petty and insignificant things. I think that this might be just that.
Now, what happens if things continue as is? People who've been inflamed by trump, even slightly will now have to take a stance on if this was justified or not. The discussion will not be on who to vote as president, it will be on if you support assassination or not, and if anything's obvious here, the secret service will be moving. If they use violence against those that express even slightly the opinions above, then they'll be martyr's to start a war. War's have been fought over less.
Please, if you got anything from this, keep a cool head. The future isn't looking bright.
Why did the SS director say the roof was a safety concern because it was sloped??? That is a completely unacceptable answer!
She is losing her job 😂😂😂
This was a damn inside job. For them to allow the suspect to roam the area and allow 45 to take the stage knowing there was a suspect unaccounted for – please.
I don't believe anything MSM says. 😐
