Trump Assassination Attempt(s)

[Orangeburst]

Ive learned more on here than what we heard

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

If it comes out he actually lied about being shot.....most DJT thing ever.

That’s really all you care about isn’t it? If Trump lied. Pathetic.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Was he potus then?

He wasnt in 2016 but was in 2019.

 

[NorthDallas40]

When Trump was at Millington Airport a few years back, the area extended to roofs along Highway 51 which was several hundred yards away....

Once again, something aint adding up

Assume you are referring to this rally? Feb 2016 so no he was candidate Trump just like he is today except today his is candidate AND former President Trump. So yeah that doesn’t add up

Donald Trump fires up thousands near Memphis

Donald Trump told a crowd of thousands at an airport hangar in Millington on Saturday that he would win the state on Super Tuesday.

I remember when Bill Clinton visited hometown in 1996. There was a SS agent monitoring every rooftop within a half mile radius.

Once again, 140 yards aint adding up....

What's so strange isn't much there that is a threat, its not like its in right in town... there is a water tower further away but there really wasn't much to monitor up high.

Very avoidable for sure.

I would just say...... In todays political climate. All candidates should get top flight security. Tensions are as high or higher than theyve ever been.

This press conference was a whole bunch of nothing.

 

[LSU-SIU]

The SS can lock down any site they want.

The event, not private property.

Usually they do risk assessment in advance, well, depending on who they are covering (situational).

 

[BreatheUT]

and there were kids there too., what if they had shot someone’s kid? Unimaginable..

Could've been worse but the sniper prevented it.

Just trying to determine if you are comparing a former President to a sitting President detail, which may affect the size of a security area.

nm..I see your post

 

[BowlBrother85]

and the police may be honestly mistaken.

so at this point you equally believe either version of events?

Yeah .... and as others have said, it's not that important, anyway.

Yep today is a much bigger pressure cooker than 2016 or even 2020 I’d say

Processing this, looking at the map, and with my knowledge of rifles and optics, one of two things is true:

- this was a colossal failure to protect the former President with a secure perimeter and alert him to a potential threat

Or

- this was a dirty job

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Too many people in here think twitter is a reliable source. Newsflash: it isn’t.

Neither is the mainstream media.

 

[Vol423]

Yes. Private property too. If their protectee is in the area, they can lock down anything they want.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Yeah .... and as others have said, it's not that important, anyway.

And yet you have to double down with “Trump says he was hit by a bullet”

You cracked open a second bottle yet in celebration?

 

[LSU-SIU]

Yes. Private property too. If their protectee is in the area, they can lock down anything they want.

No they can't come in your house or your yard or your business and tell you what to do. Can they work with the local enforcement to shutdown public areas, sure.

One is public, the other is private. No, if I don't allow the SS on my roof... they're not getting on my roof.

 

[dobre_shunka]

I didn't listen to them but from one pov there is only so much they can do outside the security area. Meaning, they can't just go and secure private property. (I'm assuming those buildings are not part of the event)

Now, that doesn't explain why the call wasn't given to take that guy out and why Trump was still on stage.

This was easily avoidable.

Too bad there aren't vehicles that human beings can get into that will lift them up into the air to provide an unobstructed view of all roof tops. Or even remotely piloted ones with cameras that transmit images back to the ground.

 

[BP4Prez]

I’ve been watching CNN tonight. Mind blowing that for people who have been comparing Trump to Hitler for months now that they can be so mind blown that something like this could happen.

Even more mind blowing to hear them then speak highly of Trump.

130 yards with direct LOS to the podium. If the SS didn’t include those buildings in their venue threat assessment and put people on them to keep them clear they completely failed at their job.

I have cracked open several bottles in celebration of Tennessee winning the CWS 3 weeks ago. If you mean celebrating what happened to Trump .... then you are the one being a clown.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Well this settles it. I have to vote for Trump now.

 

[LSU-SIU]

I'm confused by quite a bit that went on there, the counter sniper team appeared to be engaged with him. There is no way they can allow a guy to be up there that long and that freaking close.

This was very avoidable.

nm..I see your post

My family had a couple of rental properties 300-350 yards from where Clinton spoke and there was SS presence in nearby taller building.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

This press conference is a bunch of dudes covering their own butts.

Shamefully transparent

What is the point of having a press conference at 11:00/12:00 if they don't offer any answers? They didn't release the name of the shooter, the caliber of the weapon, they didn't say how many officers/SS agents fired their weapons and said nothing about possible co-conspirators. Just these guys standing there in front of the camera saying nothing..
