Anyway, another photo from the scene. Shooter was lying on a rooftop 400 feet away, wearing a short-sleeve t-shirt.

I guess he had the right to bare arms.

The missus just overheard a tesco employee talking to a colleague saying 'its a shame they missed' when talking about Trump. Simona isn't afraid to speak her mind and i dont think the tesco worker was quite prepared for the public dressing down she was given in front of her colleagues and other customers.

 

Just a reminder, when you're at work keep your political feelings to yourself.

I’ve seen a few absolutely disgusting cowardly comnents doing the rounds online bemoaning the fact that Trump was not killed. One innocent bystander up to now has tragically died with yet another in critical condition as I understand it. It says a lot about the absolute lack of character of those posting such garbage. Love him or hate him he showed some balls to get up as he did.  I’ve had a high velocity round pass by “ nowhere near as trump did” and I can assure you it does not induce composure.

For me its the where and when. Its one thing making comments like that in private or with a select group of friends, or even anonymously online....but to be stupid enough to do it whilst uniformed and on your shift is quite another. Hope she is suitably reprimanded for her stupidity.

About twelve days ago Times journalist David Aronovitch tweeted, then after a backlash deleted the following

 'If I was Biden I'd hurry up and have Trump murdered on the basis that he is a threat to America's security #SCOTUS'.

BBC radio presenter David Aaronovitch sparked anger after saying that US President Joe Biden should have Donald Trump 'murdered'.

In the context of US history these are relatively calm times, being alive during the Civil War would have upped the stakes of 'who's side are you on?'

Can you explain the relevance of the question ? 
He is pro second amendment as I’m sure you are aware.

My impression is Trumps support of pro gun mob is to help gain votes.

It is relevant that he's now been on the receiving end. A hunting rifle or self defence pistol us one thing, but the rapid fire weapons some NRA morons would gladly sell the public, the only good thing about them is the manufacturing and sales jobs they create

I wonder what the rhetoric here would be if Biden had has a snippet of an ear taken off. I don't wonder very hard though.

 

 

Anyway, news headline:

Trump Not Seriously Injured at Campaign Rally: Bullet Entered One Ear and Exited Through Other

The shooter was a felon,thus prohibited from owning guns by federal law.

 

Those gun laws didn't work,do you want some more laws and restrictions in the hope they prevent nutters doing nutter things?

 

Trumph was targeted in a politically motivated attack,sadly other people apart from the shooter lost their lives.
