How? Nobody can be protected 100% all the time, especially in a huge crowd. Are they supposed to have him hide in a bunker all the time, or ride around in a popemobile?

If that is indeed a dead sniper on a rooftop close enough to the venue...yeah, they failed. Big time.

Didn't Tucker Carlson call this months ago?

A distinction without a difference.

Nothing is 100% but in a controlled environment like this venue? Secret Service fucked up. Also, how many shooters were there? And they let Trump pump his fist while exposing himself? I'm glad he got some great photos out of it (truly iconic, on par with some of the most iconic photos ever taken) but there's no way for them to know there wasn't a 2nd, 3rd or fourth shooter considering they FUCKED UP and already let one (or two depending on the reports) into the venue.


I don't do VIP security for a living but in the 30 seconds I spent thinking about it I'd put Trump behind bulletproof glass on stage. He's got a microphone and there's not need to expose him to exactly this when we know how unhinged the left is. Oh and where's the bulletproof riot shields? If I were doing security I'd rather much have those escorting him out vs. Secret Service putting their hand in front of his face.

I didn't think i could have anymore respect for Trump then I already had but for Trump to stand up and shove his fist out saying fight. The man really is trying to fight for us.

Many people did.

Fox just interviewed a young guy who is the mayor of a nearby town. Ex-Marine, wife is a cop, family are cops. He declined to give details that might make investigation more difficult. Very impressive.

I appreciate Para's calm and responsible comments, guiding all of us to hold our temper and resolve to continue the fight until victory.

Many of us already predicted this kind of thing was going to happen. It's not that hard, the way the commies have been wishing him dead.

There were attempts on both FDR and Truman that I know of. And, of course, the successful assassination of JFK.

Statement from President Joe Biden

I have been briefed on the shooting at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania.

I’m grateful to hear that he’s safe and doing well. I’m praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information.

Jill and I are grateful to the Secret Service for getting him to safety. There’s no place for this kind of violence in America. We must unite as one nation to condemn it.

Statement from the White House

Based on my own personal training and experience I know a fair amount about dignitary protection, but I’m sure glad I have the forum and its experts who already have it all figured out to come to in order to learn more about the subject.

Video of a dead guy on a rooftop.

Maybe this is the shooter and the "shooter" in the crowd was a bystander.

Looks like it was taken down

Most of us knew this was a likely possibility, that someone would take a shot at Trump. Yet it's still a shock. I'm still trying to process all of it.

The crowd there yelling USA USA USA was awesome.

Still shows for me. Someone else sent me this, from a little later once LEO's got up there to the body.

Probably being cynical, but why does this seem to read like he's just saying this in hopes something similar doesn't happen to him?

I'm skeptical that he prays.

So, he was briefed (not Jill and I just I). But Jill and I are grateful? Why not just I am grateful? Who's really writing this?

no, still there.

I don't know about the security in keeping him from that vantage point, but a SS sniper took him out pretty fast, 1-2 seconds...?

Witness said shooter was on a rooftop 40' away. Geez

NY Post reports the shooter is a Chinese national.
We'll have to see it that holds true.
