Butler Police Department confirms the arrest of Mark Violets, identified as the Trump shooter and a known antifa extremist. Before the attack, he uploaded a video on YouTube claiming "justice was coming."

If true what's the problem? The Sigforum security experts think Trump getting shot is acceptable. God forbid if the VIP they are supposed to protect gets shot. Shit happens, amirite?

WTF Roll Eyes




Read the thread. Secret service FUCKED UP. Some members want to give them a pass. There is NO excusing this. Trump was on stage in a predetermined location. If they can't protect a VIP on stage then they shouldn't be handling his security. I don't need "years of experience" to know this.

Trump with blood across his face and his fist in the air while the crowd chants "USA! USA!" – That moment will live forever in American history, like the flag raising at Iwo Jima.

Several hundred yards? Seems like the shooter had some skills. And if so, we get lucky.

This is the cumulative effect of BLM, Antifa, ACAB, Occupy Wall Street, Maddox, Goldberg, Morning Joe, etc, etc

I just remembered that Teddy Roosevelt survived an assassination attempt, and it didn't even stop him from speaking.
Donald Trump now ranks in sheer manliness with TR, the toughest hombre to be president since Ulysses S Grant.

From CNN main page

According to the diagram HRK posted on the previous page, only 141 yards. But yes, still a rifle.

WTF? I thought USSS was supposed to be on every rooftop in sniper distance and have eyes on every window in sniper distance..

When Dan Quayle visited Purdue while I was a student he walked across campus (i.e. multistory buildings) and there was a sniper on every roof.

At 78? And, pumped his fist, "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!", after the attempt on his life? I'd say, he the manliest of them all, doc.

Before we get too far down the road with Mark Violets, I have my doubts because the shooter doesn't look anything like him.

After the bangs, Trump fell to the ground.


This quote is from a news report a few pages back, so I can't easily find the source right now.
It was clear to me that Trump did not "fall", he dropped to the ground, instantly recognizing what had happened. He remained cool throughout, asking for his shoes before he was taken away for medical attention.

Agreed.

And it’s way too early to lay blame on the USSS. Come on guys, we don’t know jack squat yet. I’m glad DJT is OK.
