I don’t want him murdered, as I’ve said plenty of times. I want nature to take him. I was just making a joke.

“Colossal Security Failure”…

Last presidential candidate to be shot was RFK? Or have there been others more recent?

[George K]

Still no official word that it was a shooting.

[jon-nyc]

What else would it have been?

TR finished his speech.

They were made of sterner stuff back then.

[LuFins Dad]

So that wraps up 2024 Presidential Election… Does it play down ballot?

George Wallace in 1972.

Nothing. I said official word. If you watch the video it's pretty obvious, and I thought I heard more than one shot.

[jon-nyc]

How could it happen? They put everyone through metal detectors.

(No this isn’t me blaming the secret service, I’m genuinely curious)

Does anyone know anything about the venue? Could someone have gotten a shot in from outside the security perimeter?

I’m pretty sure they caught somebody. They at least took somebody into custody.

But, to hazard a guess? 3D printer? Plastic gun? Or they found a way to beat a metal detector. It can happen.

[jon-nyc]

It will probably usher in a bunch a copycat attempts. Not just at Trump but at myriad political figures.

[George K]

Rumor so far...

Antifa.

[LuFins Dad]

2 shooters? Maybe the guns were smuggled in before the event?
