After giving due remarks, could Biden sign an executive order for sweeping gun control and name it after Trump and present this incident as the impetus?

Why were people Scared? Guns are SAFE! Guns are SO SAFE that they’re trying to FORCE them into Schools! It would be INCREDIBLY FUCKED UP if the same people who RAN AWAY from the Guns want to FORCE OUR KIDS into that Situation EVERY DAY!

Honestly, folks didn’t look that scared. I’d have been diving the fuck off those bleachers, but not these magas.

There were two dudes that didn’t even know what was happening. Like one guy looked like he was the offensive head coach waiting for the referee/official to announce the reason for the flag on the play and the other guy was wondering if Slash from Guns N Roses was coming out.

    Well, there’s a huge difference between assassinating Trump and assassinating Biden: If Trump dies the GOP has no equivalent. Trump is the party platform. It’s all they stand for at this point. Their entire funding apparatus is dependent on Trump!

    If Biden is assassinated Democrats will be sad but there’s like 500 other people that could replace him and everything would continue on, business as usual.

    Someone on Bluesky pointed out that masks are part of Asian culture and this is obviously racist against Asians. I think that’s right.

    It’s not a mask, it’s a hood is why.

    Snowclone ,

    It’s an old law that was actually passed to fight against the KKK, many states have similar laws, but apparently this one wasn’t worded too carefully so intent isn’t a part of the law, in other states you have to be clearly trying to hide your identity, this guy was wareing an open face ski hood. His entire face was visible, and he walked into police breaking up a fight or something, so they pounced on him as if he were involved, but clearly wasn’t as they didn’t charge with anything related to the fight.

    ampedwolfman , in Donald Trump speech shooting: Gunshots heard at president’s rally – latest news

    I see blood but I don’t see a wound. Are they really going to try and pass that the perfect hole there is a bullet hole? Wouldn’t a gun shot wound there take a bigger portion of the ear?

    Depends on the hit. There’s not much blood so it might just be a graze.

    Captain_CapsLock OP ,

    Depends on the round. A lot of factors come into play on gunshot wounds, including velocity, mass, resistance, angle. There is even some possibility that the round just barely missed, but the displacement of air is actually what broke skin.

    There is even some possibility that the round just barely missed, but the displacement of air is actually what broke skin.

    That is an urban legend. I’ve been missed by some pretty large caliber rounds in war and I’ve seen some pretty large caliber rounds barely miss people. No damage is done. You have to make contact with the round (or vice versa) for it to do damage.

    Paramedic here. All parts of the head are very vascular, and so any head injury at all bleeds fantastically. If the top of his ear got clipped, that would be enough to produce that much blood.

    sp3tr4l , (edited ) in Gunshots reportedly fired at Donald Trump rally - as former president rushed off stage

    Oh fuck.

    Very much sounds like gunfire in the clip CNN is currently playing on repeat, it sounds like the report from fairly distant shots at least a few times as the audio seems to re equalize after he gets pulled down by Secret Service.

    CNN had a reporter on scene, showing basically the area for the crowd, then an open area, then a highway or road of some kind, then with a maybe 20 or 30 story building in the background; she indicated basically possible gunshots from that direction.

    This would have been basically to Trump’s right, by the position he was facing, maybe 70 or 80 degrees to the right of the direction the podium faced.

    As best I can tell, it looks like he initially got winged around his right ear? Then more shots are heard and he goes down and is tackled by Secret Service agents.

    Its possible he may have just been winged, possible he took more rounds and it was not visible… he did get back up, apparently he got rushed to a motorcade and is presumably headed toward a hospital.

    It seems to me to be astonishingly unlikely that a or multiple shooters could possibly have made these shots from inside the crowd without being basically murdered by them.

    Update: Wolf is now interviewing someone who was apparently in the front row, and this person claims he saw or thought a General(?), one of Trump’s entourage, was shot in the head.

    This is extremely not good.

    Update 2: Welp, apparently the shooter was inside the crowd, and he did get killed by the crowd.

    Update 3: Wolf interviewing another attendee who claims two different calibers and directional sources of gunshots, they seem to think it is some kind of law enforcement shooting at the shooter.

    Update 4: Shooter was apparently killed outside the event perimeter, by counter sniper fire according to whoever Wolf is talking to now. Apparently shooter was on some kind of single story building akin to a stable, though this is being described as preliminary and not definitive.

    Got a link for update 2?

    It was said on CNN and then about 30 minutes later this has been corrected, again live on CNN.

    Sorry, just got CNN on the boob tube doing my best.

    Fake news. He will make up anything for attention.

    JimSamtanko , in Trump rushed off stage after gun shots targeting him

    Nothing that shitbag does has ever been honest. I would put it past him to have staged this shit. His could have had something in his hand to make his ear look bloody.

    And there’s no way anyone will be allowed to investigate this.

    Yawweee877h444 ,

    Looks like one of the bullets actually got him in the ear, as he grabs is ear right away. I thought it was from him getting tackled down by the secret service.

    So the shooter was almost a good shot. So close.

    AngryCommieKender ,

    According to TMZ a secret service agent said the bullet hit his teleprompter and glass shrapnel hit his ear.

    tmz.com/…/donald-trump-appear-shot-pennsylvania-r…

    ABCDE ,

    Was the teleprompter behind him?

    AngryCommieKender ,

    No clue. I would assume it was in front, I’m merely attempting to spread actual information, unfortunately it is from a less than reputable source, but looking at their timeline, they seem to be covering all possible snippets of information from the scene, without speculating on the motives of the shooter.

    ABCDE ,

    If it was in front, then it would not have hit his right ear as he was looking to the left.

    AngryCommieKender ,

    Ricochets happen with shrapnel.

    Around his head?

    @loaf@sh.itjust.works avatar

    Genuinely curious if anyone else was injured. There were too many shots fired to miss… everyone. Especially where he was positioned.

    I could be wrong, but it sounded like two different calibers were used.

    I’ve got to be honest; this looks staged. I hate being “that guy,” but I wouldn’t put anything past that clown.

    winterayars ,

    I’m strongly suspecting the bystanders who died/were injured got hit by the shooter. I’d say that’s amateurish by the shooter (and it is) but there’s a big crowd, very likely those bullets are going to hit someone.

    Strange. Crowd is packed right behind him and yet none of them seemed to have been hit. Guess they might just be blocked to the camera, other than that one dude squatting over the huddle being very helpful.

    return2ozma OP ,
    @return2ozma@lemmy.world avatar

    Allegedly the shots came from the right side.

    DragonTypeWyvern ,

    You can see some of the crowd looking in that direction, so that seems believable. They should probably work on their general survival instincts though, they’re just meercatting off screen.
