My husband and I were watching President Trump's rally on television and it was ony about 10 minutes or so into his remarks when the shooting happened. We were in shock for a long time as we watched the situation unfold and watched the news for hours afterwards. President Trump had just turned his head to the side to look up at some data that was being shown on a jumbo screen as he was shot. A moment earlier - and less than a half an inch away from where the bullet struck - then it would have been an assassination rather than an assassination attempt.
Praying for his recovery - both physical and otherwise - and for his family, and also for the other victims at the rally, especially for the family of the man who lost his life during this attack on President Trump, and also the two rally attendees who are in a local hospital now in critical condition. And praying for America.
He’s not the sitting POTUS, so his SS protection detail is substantially less than if he were. IMO.I do not understand how SS didn’t have nearby buildings covered. I’ve been at major rallies in Pittsburgh and have seen government agents on roofs. The major routes typically have bridges and roadways protected and closed down for presidential motorcades. How did this happen?

Ironically, Crooks is a registered Republican voter. I guess we’ll wake up to more details about him tomorrow. I can’t help thinking about his family, news sources are saying law enforcement is at their home tonight. This isn’t going to be easy for them.
But neither is it for the man who was killed and the two who are critically injured. My thoughts are with their families tonight. A sad day for America.
Watching CNN international right now, and this was mentioned. They said he’s a registered Republican who had also made a small donation to Biden, according to public records.Could you post a link for MSM that Crooks is a registered republican?
I have seen a couple of social media comments from individuals but can’t find anything being reported on a news site.
I looked him up on the Allegany County site, he is registered there. It will be formally linked or stated tomorrow I’m sure.Watching CNN international right now, and this was mentioned. They said he’s a registered Republican who had also made a small donation to Biden, according to public records.
I looked up the latter earlier and it was something like 15 bucks.
So one of three things could be going on.If he is a Republican
why did he donate to Democrats?
Sorry,
I live far away from the US
and might not understand finer details of American politics hehe
The shirt is alleged to be merchandise from a YT Gun Channel "Demolition Ranch."Anyone have any idea what the image means, or where it's from, on the back of the shooter's t-shirt? And what is over the eagle's head?

I saw that too — taking that kind of stuff with a grain of salt for now, because I’ve seen the screenshot floating around but can’t find a web page it could have come from.Watching CNN international right now, and this was mentioned.
