Breaking news shots fired at trump rally

When the initial report came out I stated much the same.. A failure possibly due to complacency. These are professionals (secret service), not just some local police department. They didn't just set up the day of. There's a point where you can't just chalk it up to coincidences of failure.

While it doesn't have to be all that was there, not even all the secret service, it certainly falls on the supervisor in charge of overseeing the event. To take the fall, for the people in charge, that are at war with Congress! Namely Mayorkas

There, Fixxed...

Many reports say Homeland Security handled security.

Crowd up front seemed to think Trump wasn't hit in ear with bullet, but had head hit against podium on way down. When he initially pulls his hand from ear, there is no blood (slo-mo). Anybody seen photo of damage to ear?

What “crowd up front”?

If he hit his ear when falling, why did he grab it before ducking?

I feel like people have become so open minded that their brains are falling out. The old saying “there are no dumb questions” no longer rings true. People refuse to use their own critical thinking skills as a filter.

Hitting his ear on the podium on the way down would would have been his left ear.

Drones are used for war, but my understanding is it was flown at the site in the days before the rally. The secret service may not have even been on site (speculation) and at the time anyone (construction guys?) may not have thought it suspicious to report.

He flew it a few hours before the rally.

They were involved, but it was USSS show.

I did not verify last night's post about Cheadle resignation I simply posted, as here is current online discussion. I have been thinking for some time about forum activity and "I too" think that I will take time off for complete recovery from covid (I also suffer from COPD) as well as a period of reflection and contemplation regarding the the forum

Johnny... The forum just is what it is... And will continue on haphazardly with or without you, or anybody else for that matter. Not any one individual wins or loses here... it's just War. Keep the Faith Brother.

Yeesh... depending of how many few hours that is nauseatingly fubar.

Even at large very much unsecured, public events we keep an eye on drones and try to find folks that violate the operating rules by flying over crowds or interfering with emergency response.

Also, if it had been the podium the left ear would have been damaged, not the right.

ATF traced Trump rally shooter’s gun using records opposed by some in GOP

Well, it just shows the registration doesn't prevent gun violence. And since they didn't arrest the man the handed the firearm to the killer, the whole concept is moot. So ya, screw the ATF.

Not gonna lie, the paranoid side of me wonders if that whole thing was an "Oops!" or a dry run.

Typically don’t want people wondering around a scene being actively investigated.

"opposed by some in GOP"

In your opinion, is that a bad thing?

Bio decon is normal even in murders.

Take pictures with a scale, take a sample if you need to, then call the firemen who pour out some bleach and hose it all off.

Once you have photos, there is no need to do something like cut out sections of the roof. A swab of the brains and blood can be stored for "proof" of its orgin.
