    Considering he is in a crowd of angry gun obsessed extremists who have been cultivated to reject reality, I think there is a decent chance that this was one of his own. Maybe someone was pissed that he softened his stance on abortion. The so-called “pro-lifers” have murdered before.

      God, I hope it is. Both for the irony and the reduction of harm it would do to our chances of resisting fascism this November.

        Well, the shooter was a registered republican. So it is still seeming possible.

        Effective range for an AR is like 1500 ft.

        I’m not a great shot and I can easily shoot a 2" grouping at 600 ft. I’ve hit moving deer in the woods at around 500 ft. It’s not a hard shot if you know what you’re doing.

        If he had aimed center mass, like a competent shooter would, Trump would probably be dead.

    If only there was a good guy with a gun, they could have prevented this. Where, oh where, in a Pennsylvania right wing convention can be found a good guy with a gun?

    TMZ has reported that he was struck by glass from the teleprompter and not directly shot/grazed: https://www.tmz.com/2024/07/13/donald-trump-appear-shot-pennsylvania-rally-president-election/

      Several videos from multiple angles show the teleprompters being intact after Trump was on the ground.

    I see the shooter is confirmed dead, feel so bad for the attendee/bystander who died.
