Can we please edit this thread title because “Trump injured at rally” just makes everything on this board seem like fabricated news

We need to move on very quickly on from a singular understanding for thread title that may have been the best info of a situation at that particular time. I clearly don’t have any idea what the rest of your post is about.

As the thread author that was factual at the time. I did take some thought as to what I posted. It wasn't clear that he had been shot or if he was injured by something else. Besides that, what is erroneous or hyperbolic in the thread title. It was and still is factually correct.

Gross incompetence

Its not adding up with the info we have right now. One person planned this attack? How did he know the layout and where secret service would be lax? Why would secret service be lax toward a rooftop location with clear straight line sight for a sniper? There is no way he was a pro. This random guy had the balls to and was able to pull off getting shots at Trump? By randomly deciding to go for it, lugging around a rifle? While simultaneously secret service was being lax towards one of the best possible locations for a sniper to get a shot off at given the area?

Let the conspiracy theories begin.

Not full conspiracy mode yet. It just doesn't add up based on the info we have currently.

I tend to hold off until more details roll in. However even with details, conspiracy theorists will run with alternate narratives generally based on pre-conceived hypothesis to match their own confirmation biases.

In this case one would have to take into account factors such as the location of the shooter, his background, his expertise in handling & shooting rifles from a distance, the location of the rally and how the SS handled (or didn't handle) similar locations for Trump rallies in the past.

150 yards is pretty pedestrian for any shooting range jockey with an AR-15 and a scope.

. Anybody who thinks it was staged is either brainwashed or just not being objective. Pretty early in it was announced an innocent man in the crowd was killed and shot in the head. plus two others were critically wounded. That was soon after it happened so can’t stage that. If the situation was reversed I would also feel the same way even if it’s not the man I support. Human life is worth more especially American life

That is your opinion. I am neither brainwashed nor non-objective. I just would not take anything that happens with Trump at face value because Trump constantly creates drama and is constantly running cons. But as I stated, after reviewing the facts, it would appear highly unlikely that the shooting was staged.

. I guess my point is it’s pretty impossible to stage somebody getting murdered and couple others getting seriously injured on live tv.

Details of someone getting shot in the head came later on my end and far from pretty early. Details of the actual shooter getting put down also came later. And woke up to the announcement of him being identified. The early details I saw was the location of the shooting.

Before that, the idea that SS allowed for a shooter to be able to get a shot off on Trump. And allowing Trump to raise his head and fist in the air without knowing if there was another active shooter. For Trump to make that type of judgement himself. It's so incompetent that it's understandable for people to say to themselves this can't be real initially.

Trump lead a coup on the capital over a lie that the election was rigged leading to the death of multiple ppl. "American people". So yea people not giving him the benefit of doubt for anything is simply him reaping what he has sown.

I usually do not speak on politics I hate them. I consider myself a nothing in regards to democrat, republican, liberal, whatever. I just believe what is right is right now matter which side says it.

I am also not usually a conspiracy theorist. I don't like Biden but don't hate him, I tend to agree with much of what Trump says but HATE how he says it. He is purposely devisive

That being said, this sounds like a mix of the plots to the movies Shooter with Mark Wahlberg and the first Jack Reacher movie with Tom Cruise.
