Trump rushed off stage at PA rally

Remarkable photo by a NYT photographer. Shows the bullet whizzing past Trump's head.

That took place about 16 miles from where I live. Apart from the name recognition of the intended victim, it seems like just another assault rifle shooting. Move along; nothing to see here. Those weapons have many legitimate uses and anyhow, guns don't kill people, people kill people.

The man who died , Corey Comperatore, was a married firefighter with two daughters. His wife spoke with Gov Shapiro and said he dove on family members to protect them.

How the planning might have failed.

The shooter's motive is still a mystery.

Interesting to me that the secret service let him stand up with his head exposed and gave him the time to pump his fist and shout a few times... That just doesn't seem like something they would normally do with an active shooter in the area...

Security had been increased in Trump's detail before Saturday because of concerns about a possible Iranian assassination attempt. No indications that Crooks was connected to that. But holy cow anyway.

An alleged Iranian connection was pushed by Netenyahu when he gave his speech to Congress. I'm 99% sure but I could be wrong. I'll post the quote or tape if I can find it.
Thanks, wtg. Moving on to thread #2.
