So a person tried to assassinate Trump

Because mistakes are made and we live in a free society. 

I don’t know if his social media has been scrubbed, you just read it on some post. We have one interview with one guy saying he saw this guy a few minutes before. We have random videos, people speculating off of that. We don’t know anything really. Last night they thought the shooter was killed in the crowd. Remember?

Just calm down and let it get put together. Twitter is not going to figure this out without making all kinds of wrong and frankly crazy speculation. Sometimes on purpose. 

That’s fine, Twitter and the like is a great source of raw info, but you have to keep it in perspective. 

Any proof that his social media has been scrubbed or is that just unfounded speculation?

SS requested additional manpower but were denied. I'm sure they swept that building but they didn't have the bodies to post people there during the speech. 

I'm still curious about the counter sniper team failing to take him out before he was able to get his shots off. They knew they didn't have anybody on that rooftop. As soon as they saw somebody up there he should've been neutralized. 

Not true:

Secret Service goes on the record saying it's not true that the Trump team requested addition security recently and was denied.

Spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi: "In fact, we added protective resources & technology & capabilities as part of the increased campaign travel tempo."

The first paragraph makes total sense (was unaware of the request part). I don’t think SS has officially commented yet on the entire situation. They def were not represented in the press conference last night. There report will be it goes without saying highly scrutinized. 

If someone is crawling on a building and you cannot confirm he has a gun I don’t think they will just shoot them, right? That he got on the building is the problem.

Likely fake news.

Also there was a dude interviewes who saw the dude crawl on the building with a gun, told a cop who apparently did nothing.

I would guess it’s standard to lock accounts when something like this occurs if that even happened.

I am unaware of the call outs for Trump to be assassinated. If we are talking about Twitter people I’m sure that has happened as it has all across the spectrum.

To the rest of this I’ll wait and see but initially I would say it is a crazy person with a rifle. 

I would say you need to not read everything on Twitter as fact. This is why real journalists are often late on news because they are filtering through all the things you are also reading and discarding the BS, verifying what is true, etc.

Not calling for assasination but implying the only way to stop him is to kill him or 'take him out'.

I haven’t seen any alleged posts that were scrubbed, just profile pages none of which I’ve seen confirmed.  If anything was scrubbed he probably did it himself before the shooting.

There were two counter snipers looking at him through high powered scopes. If they had him in their sights, they would've been able to see he was armed. 

I may have just answered one of my own questions right there. Maybe the guy we saw lift his head off his scope wasn't the designated shooter. Maybe the other guy was and that guy was secondary. I don't know but it didn't look right to me. If you have the guy in your sights and he has a rifle aimed at the former potus, secondary or not, you should take the guy out.

Both of those people are well versed enough in media to know better. Terrible use of language. 

There are probably examples of this across the spectrum.

We had the Congresswoman from AZ shot in the head a few years back by a nut while giving a speech. The language probably chilled for about two weeks.

Hopefully this time is different (it won’t be).

I could see it being pretty spot on from his perspective. 

His time call outs might be off. But this dude looks a little wild, been drinking beers all day starts telling cops he sees something.

It isn’t really clear to them what he is saying and they dismiss it initially. Then start scrambling to figure it out.

Nevertheless, we still have a long way to go before reaching any conclusions, but what I do know is that MAGAturds need to dial back all this angry rhetoric and learn how to be informed, reasonable, level-headed people who need to learn how to compromise and figure out ways for all of us to work together instead of dividing the fock out of this country and blaming everyone but themselves for the division.

Time to isolate the extremes, which I've been saying for almost four focking years in this forum.

They are no sniper rifle in their most common caliber, but are effective out to maybe 500 yards.  A good shooter, maybe 800 yards.  Chambered in .308 .300 win, 6.5 Creedmore, .338 they would be effective further out but also designated as an AR-10.

Flat roof with no equipment on it. That means no roof access. He had to put up his own ladder or someone put him there. This is what I see, someone who's pulled high level security. 

Then, you need to dial in your rifle, position for a clean shot. A lot of uneducated people who aren't familiar with rifles know that you just don't point and shoot. He was dead accurate, Trump just moves at the last millisecond or he'd be dead. 

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE THAT SECRET SERVICE DIDN'T SEE THIS, IMPOSSIBLE.

I got to say his reaction was so many things. It was hardcore badass. The images with the flag in the background legit look like AI generated. Incredible pic. It was also odd that he immediately is telling people to fight like we are in a war or something. I don’t take anything from this and most importantly he turned his head at the perfect moment to not have this be mind bogglingly awful.

I think he was already going to win, unless something completely out of the ordinary occurs it is now a lock. It goes without saying after this anything can occur.

Depends on barrel length, chamber size, ammo, scope, etc. 

They can be very accurate in the right hands. This kid knew what he was doing. If Trump didn't move at the last millisecond he'd be dead. It was a good, clean shot, he squeezed it off a hair late.
