• Trump escorted away by Secret Service after bangs heard at Pennsylvania rally

As an extreme leftist and Trump critic let me say I oppose all political violence. This is not good for anyone.

I encourage everyone to condemn violence.

And don't jump to any conclusions till we know what happened.

There are two threads, so forgive me for repeating myself, but it is important that it is understood that even those who strongly oppose Trump oppose this kind of violence.

Agreed. We must not wish harm to anyone.

I mean, I don't like him but I don't want him dead.

 

[Wandering Monk]

Looks like he got grazed over his right ear.

This completely evil. We don't do politics with weapons here. Hope the shooter is dead.

Violent rhetoric needs to be condemned and punished. This is what it leads to.

I'd rather they just be arrested and tried. No need for more violence.

With the Hammer on this one. Better to be arrested and tried. Better to spend his life in prison. Too many of these kind of shooters fantasize about being shot and "going out in glory". Better to lock him up.

And I want to know all the details of what happened.

 

[Wandering Monk]

Just realized the irony of my post. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

Wishing him a speedy recovery and comfort for his family.

Witnesses say two people, a man and a woman, in their area of the bleachers "went down." No confirmation.

 

[Debater Slayer]

Same thing I said in the other thread:

This is an extremely dangerous precedent, especially considering how polarized American politics currently is.

Biden should be quick to condemn it if he wants to contain the situation before it has a chance of getting further out of hand.

 

[Kathryn]

I keep hearing that at least one spectator is deceased as well as the gunman.

I think the woman is dead. Man is in critical condition.

I think the woman is dead. Man is in critical condition.

They carried the woman off and she was able to hold on to the men's necks that picked her up. There was a man shot in the back of the head, said a man who was standing nearby.

 

[Wandering Monk]

Trump is fine, but two families lost loved ones today.

 

[Twilight Hue]

I mean, I don't like him but I don't want him dead.

I would think most people would be like that including protecting Biden just as much as Trump.

I've been alive long enough however to know now that there will always be other people who will think otherwise. Particularly in high profile events involving very important and powerful people with high stake objectives.

 

[rocala]

I totally agree. On top of the usual considerations, a dead one is fuel for the conspiracy theorists.

This is turning out to be a sadder story overshadowed by Trump.

The shooter was a bullied student and loner, only 20 years old. What kind of life might he have had if he had not been subjected to this?

Another was shot in the head and died at the scene. He was a volunteer fire chief. How many lives did he save in his career?

Well maybe if said person didn't actually grab a weapon , climb up onto a roof, aimed it at a former president and people sitting at the stands, none of this would have ever happened. I was horribly bullied in school too so later I just joined the military to channel my aggression and toughened myself up to handle hostilities.

Pretty wild isn't it?
