That report about glass shrapnel isn't credible. You don't think we can see glass shards if they were there? We have the image of the vapor trails of the bullet going right by Trumps head. Fockin' morons and haters. Even if it was glass shards, doesn't matter. Trump thought he was hit by the bullet and so far we don't know that he or anyone knows any different.

Well, an officer not associated with the Secret Service, so either associated with the city, county, or state was one of the counter-snipers and took a shot at Crooks, but not the kill shot. He's on administrative leave like all officers involved with a shooting are. So, we're not getting the whole story.

The bandage probably goes down and around the ear to secure it. The Dr. probably didn't just use a regular band-aid or two to prevent blood from seeping through. That's the most and last I'm going to say about that and wish others would stop commenting on it.

By 3 p.m. on Saturday, roughly three hours before the shooting, Crooks was at the security screening area for the rally. He first aroused suspicion when he passed through the magnetometers carrying a rangefinder, which looks similar to a small pair of binoculars and is used by hunters and target shooters to measure distances when setting up a long-range shot, according to a senior law enforcement official briefed on the investigation. The rangefinder would not have prevented Crooks from getting through the security screening point, but it did attract the attention of security personnel who kept an eye on him until he left the secure area. Investigators are unsure of where Crooks went after he left the screening area but the working theory is that he went to his car to retrieve the rifle. Around the same time witnesses alerted police that Crooks was crawling on the roof of the American Glass Research building, one of the four counter-sniper teams observed Crooks looking at their position through the rangefinder, according to the senior law enforcement official. “They were looking at him while he was looking at them,” the official said. Crooks gained access to the rooftop by climbing on top of the building’s air conditioning system and hoisting himself up, according to a senior federal law enforcement official briefed on the investigation. Around 11 p.m., Crooks’ father reported him missing, law enforcement officials told CNN. His father told agents that he believed his son had taken the rifle Saturday to go to the shooting range and thought he would be back by around 1:00 p.m., the sources said. After the shooting, multiple law enforcement sources said investigators found a bulletproof vest, three fully-loaded magazines, and two remote-controlled explosive devices in Crooks’ car. Investigators are uncertain as to whether Crooks had a plan to use the body armor, nearly 100 rounds of additional ammunition from those loaded magazines, and two remote-controlled bombs, had he escaped after the shooting. Additionally, after a search of his residence, investigators discovered another bulletproof vest, another remote-controlled explosive device, and a 3D printer, according to multiple law enforcement sources. In the last several months, Crooks received multiple packages, including some marked as possibly containing hazardous materials, according to a joint FBI and Department of Homeland Security bulletin obtained by CNN.

Now do Nancy Kerrigan. She cried like a baby and was overly dramatic?

Oh, so do you have experience of someone attempting to kill you by putting a bullet in your head but it just grazed you?

From S&P of 4600 he predicted a 20% drop. It went up 22%.

Trump makes his appearance now at the Republican National Convention.

Michelle Obama hasn't been in the White House since 2016.

I read that one of his classmates said he wore a surgical mask during Covid and even for a long time after everyone stopped wearing masks. Not saying that's the reason he shot Trump, but it's another possibility, that he could have been upset at Trump for how he handled Covid. Or could have nothing to do with that.

For frame of reference, the longest MLB home run measured by Statcast to date was hit 505 feet by Rangers right fielder Nomar Mazara against the White Sox in June 2019.

Biden speaking to the American people right now about this.

The head of the Secret Service previously worked for PepsiCo/Frito-Lay and they make/sell Grandma's cookies so that's another option.

Dude, he shot at Trump to kill Trump. His dad was a hunter. He probably signed his kid up as a Republican. The guy was not of legal voting age last Presidential election. He was an Anti-Trumper obviously because he tried to kill Trump.

And also Trump will get more Secret Service once he's officially the Republican nominee sometime this week. We're really lucky he's alive.

The report says the person's name that donated also matched his address which was the shooter's name AND address.

Good video here explaining the response to the shooter.

If you don't want to watch all of this video I suggest listening starting at 5:40 on his comment on Trump.
