Trump rushed off stage - possible gunshots

[docholly]

What I am seeing on the news is two rally attendees were shot as well… both “were down.”

[cous0226]

It obviously wasn’t someone at the rally but this has to be a security failure?

[pixy0stix]

Can we just not with conspiracy theories?

[minzy]

Yeah he bats at the ear before he goes down, doesn’t seem to have blood. He comes up, blood. I’m no forensics or ballistics expert but I would think the blood would have been instantaneous.

And then “let me get my shoes” twice. WTH about the shoes? Then he is raising the fist saying fight. Secret Service sure didn’t act like this was a drill. Some witness is saying someone in the stands was also injured. Trump campaign and SS both now saying he is “fine.”

[mcsangel2]

I looked at the video, for whatever it's worth, it looks legit to me. He looks kinda confused/surprised for a second when he touches his ear and I don't think he's a good enough actor to pretend that.

[Velar Fricative]

I’m not here for the conspiracy theories. The shots sounded like a BB gun to me but my friend who knows a lot about guns says it sounded more like a lower caliber gun. I also don’t know how I’d react if I were in the middle of something like this happening.

Just saw on NYT that 50,000 people are trying to drive away from the rally spot via one country road.

Very very strange. Why the shortest agent between him and the cameras silhouetting him perfectly? Why the long pause so he can get his fist up? Why did she stop to pick up a hat while he was raising his fist again? Why did the SRT types not immediately secure the scene?

They really went for that Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima look

2 people dead including shooter is what I'm seeing. Another in critical condition.

my thoughts are so bad right now

[cous0226]

He will forever be scared now and I love that. He’s a chicken shit.

Where are you seeing this? I am watching NBC and CBS and they aren’t mentioning any casualties or injuries except for his ear.

Maybe he planned it. This went according to plan. He’s that maniacal.

My first thought as well.

Same!

I have some training in the security of high value targets and there is something off about it how it went down directly after but I’ll see myself elsewhere.

I'd like to hear your thoughts. The LE response looked slow and awkward to my untrained eye.

I'm listening to NPR and reading WaPost and I'm also not seeing anything about any other injuries beyond TFG's ear.

[neverfstop]

I haven’t seen the video yet. Are we sure he was actually hit? The initial/official reports said that there was a loud noise and he went down, maybe indicating he hit his head on the ground or cut his ear down there?? I guess they’re more reports that somebody has been shot… You’re gonna kill somebody, BB gun seems like a terrible idea.

[bimbi284]

In the video, you can see several of the people behind him looking to the side (to their right), looking at someone else, then you hear the first shots, and several of those people then do actually duck down, while others look sorta confused, maybe stunned.

It sounded to me like someone (a female voice maybe) quickly said “what are we doing, what are we doing?” When they ducked behind the podium before getting him up to walk away.

I’m not convinced it was staged.

[devonpow]

I just saw an interview with a dr who was in the audience - he was covered in blood and said he was doing cpr on someone with a gun wound to the head. And the local DA has announced the shooter and a crowd member are dead

AP reporting from local law enforcement. Shooter dead and at least 1 other attendee was killed.

It looks like the second shot clipped him and may have hit someone in the crowd.

He turned his head in the literal knick of time.

Seems like a small caliber weapon… 22?

The snipers then took him out. You hear someone scream in the crowd after the fourth or fifth shot which may have been the sniper.

He grabbed his ear before he went down. That plus the pics afterward tell me he was hit directly.

The reactions don’t seem that bizarre to me. It was seconds…

His fist is stupid but in line with his attitude of wanting to tell his people he was alive and well.

[heat40]

I don’t know what’s real or not but after years of bullshit conspiracy theories from their side, and all their “false flag” screams anytime a shooting happened……they brought this on themselves. Many will be skeptical, many different conspiracies will come of this and frankly, I blame them. They created this environment.

Yeah I was about to say, I don’t think he staged this and deep inside he’s prob freaking the fuck out.

As bat shit crazy as this man is I do not think he would purposely injure himself. He’s not that type of crazy.

[babsbunny]

I am watching nbc replays.

How long until the crazy libs are blamed for this. Ugh.

Nutty to watch the photographers jump forward to get more shots. I wonder if personal cell phone video from the stands will be taken in by the authorities.

Yeah I agree. He’s a hypochondriac. He never would agree to a plan that would cause him harm.

This has been one hell of a week. No idea what happens next but I’m sure seeing Trump fans come out in droves now. While I don’t think this was staged he will for sure pump this for every bit of sympathy and support. Sigh.

Already happening online at least.
