Looks like someone took some shots at prez candidate Donald Trump at a rally in PA. From the videos I’ve seen, it looks like he did get grazed.

      It’s not clear at all that that’s what happened. It is completely plausible that someone would shoot a firearm at a candidate in a hotly contested presidential election. Let wait for evidence to roll in yeah?

          So let’s not do what they do and live in an evidence-based world and not an emotion-based one.

          The “facts don’t care about your feelings” party doesn’t care about facts and spends a lot of time on how their feelings are hurt.

            My evidence (in addition to the weirdness of his reaction, and the convenient blood) - has any article mentioned a shooter being seen/shot/arrested/known to exist? I can’t remember a time where there was a shooting and no article said ANYTHING about a shooter, only about the shots. Nothing could be better for the Trump campaign than for him to be “almost” assassinated.

      I wouldn’t be surprised either way, honestly. It would be the right timing for a false flag though for sure.

      But then on the other hand this is the prescribed treatment for tyrants, per our fore-bearers.

        Yes. You are correct. On reflection I should have put quotes around it as it was intented to convey that but not actually imply that it was the case. It is good you called it out.
