I don't have the name, but pictures of the dead shooter (graphic ones) are now floating around twitter. Shooter was male, brown hair, very thin, caucasian, and looks to be somewhere in his 20's.

Of course political assassination is wrong and what I said was in bad taste, but the fact remains that a mad man with a messiah complex that serves an extremist ideology just got closer to being president, and I won’t apologize for reiterating that. I see your pov and respect it, but I disagree. If anything this is a reminder to people who were thinking about sitting this one out of how much chaos surrounds this guy so they'll show up to make sure he stays out. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, I don't think it will hurt him (depends on the shooter and if Trump is lying about being shot), but I don't think it will help him much. Perhaps a slight boost with independents? A lot of people really hate Trump...like a lot... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Can we take a minute to appreciate the fact that the duty of Secret Service members in such incidents is to act as a human shield for the person they are protecting? They position themselves to literally take a bullet for the person they are assigned to protect. 3 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are gonna vet this person's life history over the coming days. Also where-ever that gun got sold is gonna probably come under hellfire. Hmm, if the dude is a Qanon/pedo hunter, how will Trump spin it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any potential line of sight should have been rendered safe. Can't imagine there's not going to be a big shake up in the SS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad had a divorce attorney back in the 70s that was former USSS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they screwed the pooch beforehand, they were on top of it after. They had verbal handshake confirmation that the target had been neutralized in under 20 seconds, all before attempting extraction. Impressive response indeed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lapse may be in training, number of available agents, any number of things. Guys could be doing their best, but placed in impossible situations. Congressional oversight is absolutely necessary, and in no way is that a necessarily negative connotation for the men and women in uniform. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean to besmirch the SS, I have great respect for them. Clint Hill used to be my next door neighbor when I was a kid and the entire neighborhood saw him as a tragic hero. In their line of business, however, there are no excuses. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re dealing with maga lunatics that might be planning vengeance right now.

I'm 100% sure it's him. There's a video shot that's been circulating for hours, taken from the ground, where the camera zooms into the shooter laying on the roof, and all you can see is his clothing, and few streaks of blood on his face/forehead. The streaks of blood look identical to the up-close photo. It's him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
