I wondered about that, too. I think there's a lot more to come out about the shooter and his situation.I find this interesting. I’m not sure most people’s minds would go there, unless they believed their son was capable of such a thing.
Not IMO. Son is over 18 and there was no intent on behalf of the Father.

What about Robert Crimo's father?
RC is a 4th July Parade shooter in Highland Park.
And his father was charged for facilitating to obtain a weapon.
RC was 21.
Yes, that's how I saw it unfold in real time on live tv. It was all very fast and confusing with everyone doing the best they could under the circumstances.There was a timeline posted with time stamps of when things happened and of SS agents comments that were heard on the open mic. Before they stood President Trump up they had confirmation that the shooter was dead and that the counter sniper team was in place. I don't think Trump had any idea exactly what happened when he stood up. <modsnip: quoted post was snipped> He looked confused to me and was likely in a bit of shock. The crowd was staring at him to see if he was okay. He raised his hand up to show them he was good and I see it as him giving reassurance to the crowd that gathered to hear him speak that he was in fact okay.
If you watch how they dog piled and surrounded him with their bodies to take anymore incoming shots, I’m not sure how you can say that. There were screwups but I doubt it was because they didn’t care about Trump’s safety.As more witnesses and law enforcement come forward with their accounts, I become more concerned.
Looking more and more like, the secret service didn't care about the safety of their protective.

Someone posted earlier that it was to a Democrat PAC in Chicago and IIRC, it was around the time of Biden's inaugration.Hi, just now finished eta-ing post several pages back, sorry slow, so wanted to bump edited version with question for speedracers who may have missed my question, thank you.
What is the referenced “progressive cause” he donated to in 2021?

I am still waiting to see proof of him walking around with a gun. There were metal detectors at the event according to statements.I see that as a huge blinking red light with a sign saying I'm going to kill Donald Trump.
If we, the public, ever get to hear the all of it.I wondered about that, too. I think there's a lot more to come out about the shooter and his situation.
Yes I agree they did dog pound him. All those tall men managed to secure position behind Trump, placing a much shorter female directly in front of Trump's body.If you watch how they dog piled and surrounded him with their bodies to take anymore incoming shots, I’m not sure how you can say that. There were screwups but I doubt it was because they didn’t care about Trump’s safety.
The metal detectors were to get inside the venue itself. Although he allegedly was spotted near them, he ultimately fired from outside the perimeter.I am still waiting to see proof of him walking around with a gun. There were metal detectors at the event according to statements.
yes, but statements have been made that they saw him walking around the event with the gun... I have seen no proof supporting that, if that were true , he would have passed through the detectors and there is no way that happened.The metal detectors were to get inside the venue itself.

A spokeswoman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said investigators were able to quickly trace the gun Crooks used.
"ATF was on the scene within minutes and completed an urgent trace through ATF's National Tracing Center based on out of business records from a closed gun dealer," spokeswoman Kristina Mastropasqua said in a statement.
She said bureau investigators traced the gun within 30 minutes, helping the FBI and Secret Service to identify Crooks.
Ms. Mastropasqua said the bureau was also helping to investigate the explosive devices and apparent bomb-making material.
Federal authorities say they're investigating Saturday's shooting not just as an attempted assassination, but a possible act of domestic terrorism.
I posted the law a couple of times it doesn't delineate a reduced protection.
This article is from 2023, so it does not directly reference this assassination attempt, but it addresses the unique situation of protecting Trump as both a former president and a presidential candidate.
Former presidents are covered for life but presidential candidates (other than an incumbent, of course) begin coverage 120 days before a general election. I believe that is now as the election is November 5th.
However, former presidents, while receiving lifetime protection, do NOT receive the intense amount of protection that a sitting president receives. IMO this is just, as there is only one president at a time and that is not Trump right now.
I know that there were not as extensive frozen zones in Manhattan when Trump was in court or at Trump Tower as when I was stuck in frozen zones for a sitting President passing through Manhattan, and when Jimmy Carter was a candidate I’ve mentioned already that we were given complete access to him in the 1970s on my college campus. In fact, when he was done speaking I ran around to the back of the hall where he spoke and was face to face with him as he rolled down his limo window. Of course he was only a candidate then and not yet president or a former president.
However, this article states that if Homeland Security determines that a particular candidate needs ramped-up Secret Service protection, a decision for that can be made. When Carter was running, of course we did not yet have a Department of Homeland Security.
Clearly things change as the threat profiles change. After all, Secret Service began as part of the Treasury Department and not as a protector of presidents.
I am not a gun person at all, although I am a parent of young adults.I find this interesting. I’m not sure most people’s minds would go there, unless they believed their son was capable of such a thing.
