I'd not.

Also, typing one finger on the phone, so keeping it brief.

And there's the location too. No grassy knoll?

I have absolutely no idea what you said.

Any clues?

It's an easy shot on a static target, hitting a moving target will depend on training and experience. The bloke was on roof approx 150 yards away from Trump, I'm guessing he was waiting for Trump to stand still for a second before shooting. Trump moved and his ear was grazed, I assume the dead person was standing behind Trump.

Accidentally came across a YouTube channel called Republic World that''s running a video which includes a guy claiming to be the shooter (Thomas Matthew Crooks) stating that he hates Trump and Republicans, and 'you got the wrong guy'. And while he does look very similar to the shooter, and there are comments pointing out that the guy is a troll and naming him, the vast majority of posters seem quite happy to believe what they've been shown. These are the same people that will drone on about MSN and sheeples yet readilly ingest fake bollox like this while spewing hate. Almost 380,000 views since it was posted 2 hours ago, no wonder the country is so fucked.
I guess channels like Republic World have to have something to counter the reports that the shooter was a registered Republican.

You mean this:
Screwdriver wrote: Sat Jun 22, 2024 4:38 pm What worries me more is this charade is too obvious now but the shadowy administration-behind-the-scenes do not appear to be really doing anything except propping up Bidens corpse. This is a group of massively wealthy people, keen to carry on going until they own everything. I don't believe for one minute they don't have a contingencyplan. Trump is going to walk this election by a mile. They can't use the same tactics last time to cheat the election. I fear something darker.
21 days later someone takes a pot shot at Trump.

They miss and literally within seconds the shooter** is shot dead. Dead men tell no tales. I'm sure the timings and the physical arena will be analysed to death but speaking of clocks and timings, doesn't it strike anyone as massively convenient? As the shooter is still getting off his rounds, the security services are suddenly able to find him, target him and take him out - within something like one or two seconds. If that.

Almost as if a marksman was waiting for the attempt...

Yeah, that really is "out there" but not quite so far as the "false flag" bollocks.

** They know who he is. What's the betting his online presence and social media content is right now being edited to cast doubt on his real motives?

And still no proof for your ramblings about who is controlling Biden and increasingly wild conjecture about what the end game might be.
...
Biden is obviously not in control. Who do you think is pulling his strings? It could be "Doctor" Jill Biden, it could be Obama, it could be the Clintons, or it could be a combination of two of the above or all three. Or it could be somebody else. But sure as Hell, former vice president Sleepy, Creepy Joe isn't even in charge of himself, let alone the country.

I'd have assumed and hoped that a little bike forum in the UK would be relatively safe from conspiracy theorist wackos, but it seems that nowhere is safe these days.

Trump was lucky that round was deflected by his impenetrable layer of kevlar-reinforced hair spray.

I'm going for the almost impossible to believe conspiracy theory that in a country where weapons are easy to come by, some nut case decided to shoot a high profile politician, all by himself, getting shot by the authorities who I believe train quite hard to do so.

I know...whacko, right? :shock:



Actually, has anybody checked to see if Alex Baldwin was filming in the area at that time...?

Hold on now, wait a minute....

This can't be true can it??

How the fuck do the most advanced security service in the world not see that roof as a potential "grassy knoll"?

Where were they all stationed? How did the shooter set himself up there without being seen except by an eyewitness who was pointing the shooter out to the police while the crowd member himself was under observation from security. "Look at that conspiracy theorist jumping up and down pointing at a roof. What is he trying to say..."

If that map I grabbed off a random video is an accurate representation of the incident scene, there are going to be some very difficult to answer questions.

Maybe I've been watching the Mark Wahlberg film 'Shooter' too many times, but if the shooter had been a pro then we'd be writing Trump's obituary right now. The guy was an amateur who nearly got lucky.
