Another assassination attempt on Donald Trump

Whitewavemark2

Apart from perhaps one or maybe two people Trump appears universally and strongly disliked on GN.

Good to know that our moral compasses are firmly in tact.

I don’t like Trump but am not so daft as to believe, against all the evidence, that it was staged.

Actually the list is endless.

Try

Land grabbing.
Completely trashing the world economy
Starting an illegal war
Insider trading
Lying constantly

I haven't seen any post that agrees with killing even someone as odious and dangerous as Trump.
This man has caused or been complicit in the deaths of many people. He has lied insulted other countries and tried to take land that belongs to others. Is it any wonder if he is attacked?
Having said that I don't believe killing anyone is the answer. Trump needs to go but not by violence.

It's all very John Wayne, I wish they would'nt keep missing.

Blimey! It was just a passing thought.

And yes listening to Trump, Miller, Hegseth, Vance etc I do think that posters on GN do have a better moral compass, when extermination of whole populations are contemplated, imprisonment of tiny children, corruption on a massive scale, wife beaters, rapist and drunks populate Trumps cabinet.

I’m neither proud nor feeling smug to be in Team A - but I am as sure as I can be that I am on the right team.

Oh Whiewavemark2 do you even realise how smug you sound?
As though everyone here is on Team A and I’m on Team B?

Well at least I don’t countenance shooting from anyone TO anyone.

Some on here sound as though they wished the deranged gunman had actually shot Trump.

Beggars belief.

Trump is capable of anything.

I find it odd his ear healed completely with no scar whatsoever from the first "attempt" then he decided not to investigate the "attack" (he's usually so litigious for all other matters!) and he's been told as there is no security justification for his appalling Ballroom in the White House it can't be built - cue second attempt. I've drawn my own conclusion

With all that gun culture and attitude that goes with it and yet no-one can hit the target! What's it say about the USA's military abilities? No wonder there's so much so-called "friendly fire"

Isn’t funny how these attempts always seem to happen when he needs public distraction or the support of near martyrdom to help him. These people have no boundaries. I question all occurrences involving him.

Me, too. Although his early morning rants on social media do invite all kinds if lunatics. Strange, how the gunman wasn't shot this time? Very suspect fir being fake as the last attempt only injured his ear. No number of attempts to get sympathy from voters will help him to win this time. Not only has he ruined America's reputation in 14 months but also the rest of the world's economies. He is dangerous and a threat to world peace. Why is he still in office?

Was that servicemen hit by friendly fire?

Never was confirmed.

What on earth is the Be Kind sector?

I have no idea. I am going to dig into this today and see. I've never heard of it before.

Well Iamaround taken from the link you provided was this;

“ From Luigi Mangione to Cole Allen, these shooters aren’t the antisocial loners of media imagination. They’re smart, well-liked, often idealistic. They have no prior criminal record. They take pains to avoid bystander casualties, as Allen reportedly did. But they share one conviction: that the political system has failed completely, and someone has to act.

“I don’t see anyone else picking up the slack,” Allen’s manifesto reads.”

So, Cole the gunman (not as the article states ‘the alleged gunman’ as there was no doubt he had a gun and fired it) is another person from the Be Kind sector who doesn’t agree with democracy when it isn’t going his way?

Bizarre behaviour from a man, highly educated or not, don’t you agree?

I think shooting anyone is bizarre behavior.

He wasn't even on the same floor as the event.

Maybe he was severely depressed and instead of shooting himself thought he would try suicide by police, taking out the administrashun before this suicide only it didnt work because no one shot him.

Viewing the footage of the incident I am not totally convinced it wasn’t a PR stunt ordered by Trump to sensationalise matters. Yes, I know someone was shot and was wearing body armour but they could all have been shooting blanks. The actions of the security guards was dire……looked like a spaghetti western!

We all think differently, and as people are dying every day because of Trump’s policies, some people will definitely think his life is worth less than those of other people who find themselves without support or healthcare. It’s not bizarre, it just isn’t how you see it.

Maybe he was thinking of the millions of people who have lost their rights, healthcare, and means of survival since Trump came into power. When you look at it that way it is less bizarre if you believe that if you kill one man you benefit millions.

Nope.
Still bizarre.
I don’t buy your logic at all.

One man’s LIFE against an upcoming ballot box?
Sheesh.
Takes some figuring to square that circle. In my mind at least.

Most American mass shooters are far-right. Trump knows this, hence his administration scrubbing factual information about their domestic terrorism problem from most government websites. How convenient! They are going after civil rights organizations. Now they have the perfect shooter. Sorry, but it’s all very perfectly fit together with the narrative these crooks are pushing. No doubt this was a disturbed individual. I will always wonder who truly was helping him “facilitate” this “assassination” attempt. Conspiracy theories are bedtime stories when it comes to looking at the reality things. I will be skeptical of any story pushed by people who bomb children’s schools and flippantly lie about it.

What on earth is the Be Kind sector?

Questioning the 'narrative' given out by this Regime, is not the same as succumbing to conspiracy theory.

Personally, I don't see it as bizarre behaviour from someone who has firm religious beliefs - as many Americans seem to - and strongly believes that Trump is evil and doing evil things.
I can certainly understand how someone in his position might not just want to, but actually feel compelled, to try to do what he did.
I'm not saying that I condone it - just that I don't find it the slightest bit bizarre or surprising.

It must have been a stunt. With 4 previous presidents assassinated, the attempted assassination of Reagan and the already 'attempted assassination' of Trump, I can't believe that the security could be that useless.

Agreed.
A pretty high chance it was to to get publicity, minds off things.
