@jon-nyc

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

George Wallace in 1972.

[kluurs]

Not good at all. Hope he's Ok.

Still no official word that it was a shooting.

@jon-nyc said

What else would it have been?

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.

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?

Antifa.

If you could stop Hitler.. Right?

[jon-nyc]

Politicians are putting out the right statements so far.

Though this is obviously false

Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and the Republican leader in the Senate, said in a statement: “Tonight, all Americans are grateful that President Trump appears to be fine after a despicable attack on a peaceful rally.

Yeah I’m guessing the guns were already in the security area, planted earlier

[89th]

Since he didn’t die, can I say this is kind of exciting? I’m surprised it doesn’t happen more often honestly. Feels like the 80s

[George K]

AP is saying shooter is dead and a rally attendee is dead.

Sorry for the rally attendee. Don't need an Oswald but given social media - likely we'll know motivation.

Stopping Hitler. What more motivation is needed?

I don’t think that’ll put much of a dent in the number of TDS patients who would suck him off.

Doesn’t look like the fatass Antifa guy from the earlier post.

I come to the states and hell breaks loose.
