Felt this was worthy of its own thread. A lot of questions to be answered, and none satisfactory so far from the officials in charge of Trump's rally and campaign.

I think we deserve answers.

So the shooter was wearing a Demolition Ranch shirt? Or no?

From early on the 13th by Nick Fuentes according to others....



A lot of questions out there.

Dangerous — and totally predictable — buffoonery from a sitting GOP Congressman:

Why anyone would think that this incident will calm everything down is delusional. The usual suspects chimed in right on cue.

Surf around twitter for five minutes…and you’ll be considering a relocation to Portugal. Just completely bananas.

You have impeccable sources.Rachel Bitecofer posted it. It must be true.
She's talking a break from accusing Trump of raping a 12 year old girl.

A 78 year old multiple billionaire he should be on a yacht on the med touring golf courses. But he is not. He is in Pennsylvania spitting out bullets! Running for the love of his country! God speed Donald! God bless the United States

Oh, THIS will get him lots more votes, right? All those people on the fence out there...were just waiting to confirm his "victimhood". He's really garnered the sympathy vote now...

If anyone here was alive and old enough to process events in the 1960s, we have seen this all before. Sad to say, that this country has a history of political violence in this regard - it doesn't start with Trump and won't end with him either - read up on the 1850s and the lead up to the Civil War. Go back even further to the Whiskey Rebellion in 1791 during Washington's first term - Additionally, this is a country where a sitting Vice-President murdered a former Secretary of The Treasury in a duel.

'Demolition Ranch' Owner Responds to Thomas Matthew Crooks Shooting Trump

Trump has raped and assaulted women. Been proven before and he's bragged about it.

Possible Shooting or Explosions ?

Someone should alert the NY Times & Wash Post that this was an assassination attempt, not a workplace injury.

The shooter managed to gain access to an elevated position 150 yards from where trump was speaking. This is monumental security failure. This is Monday morning quarterbacking on my part but SOP would normally dictate there would have been security stationed on that elevated position. One witness stated he saw the shooter low crawling on the roof and tried in vain to notify the police. Whoever was in charge of security at this event has alot of explaining to do.

I've seen the videos of those indicating they notified police, etc of someone on the roof, but have not seen the deltaT of when they noticed and notified vs when the counter locked in on the gunman. There are videos that show the counter assault team focused on the gunman and then you see them react to the gunmans first shot, reset then take him out.

If the deltaT was a long time, then that is gross negligence, if it was mere seconds/minutes....I could see that maybe the shooter was lurking out of sight, then climbed onto the roof moments before taking the shot(s). It is rather disturbing that the stage was set up in a position that offered a clear line of sight vantage point, even with all the grand stands set up; perplexing.

My DC office was 1.5 blocks from the WH in MetroCenter. It was swept every morning. I agree

Yup, SS has a lot to answer...

Yep, I have worked on many buildings surrounding the WH. We often had to call over to the SS office and notify them when we had to go to the roof. I have seen the red dot presented from personnel on the WH rooftop before.

IMO there should have been eyes on that roof at all times. I'm surprised there wasn't a security detail stationed on that roof. That question will certainly be a point of contention to who ever was in charge of security at this event.

They had a sniper team on a nearby roof (higher elevation) and dispatched the shooter within moments but not before he got off enough rounds to kill one person and injure 3 more (including the former President).

Questions remain as to why the roof and building where the shooter was located weren't swept before the event began - but not to worry as Rep. Comer is now on the case.

As I stated before, whoever was in charge of security at the event has a lot of explaining to do. I expect that forthright their will be a commission established to investigate this monumental security failure. IMO no individual should have gone unnoticed once they gained access to the roof.
