Trump survives assassination attempt; FBI identifies shooter. Here's what we know. The alleged assailant, a 20-year-old Bethel Park, Pa., man, is dead. An attendee was also killed in the attack.
20 years old…not even old enough to drink in this country.
RIP to the innocent guy who lost his life at the rally. Glad Trump and the other attendees aren’t seriously injured.
I have a crap ton of questions for SS, and somebody is definitely gonna be losing their job. Cause how the hell does a 20 year old male get high positioning like that and none of them notice? Your job is to literally cover positions like that so that your asset doesn’t end up in a situation like this. There is a witness who literally saw the guy climbing up to the roof, and tried to warn law enforcement.
Law enforcement did absolutely nothing. Reminded me of when Israel was being warned about Hamas on oct 7 and turned a blind eye. Sorry guys, my conspiracy theory mind is active and there’s just too many red flags.
If the shots came from the ground, that one thing. But the shooter was basically in plain sight with nothing but a clear shot. This is crazy.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Nuts on right, nuts on the left- plenty of assault weapons, 3D printing of undetectable guns--PLUS, both sides constantly demeaning each other. I'm glad it wasn't an immigrant- imagine the hate that would have released. Remember God only loves your side- he didn't create those other "losers". Love God, love your neighbor doesn't really apply.

Can a 20 yr old Pennsylvania citizen purchase an AR type weapon..?
First reports are the weapon was a military style AR type rifle that the 20 yr old used. Not sure about the credibility of that info...just asking if the 20 yr old shooter could legally purchase and use such a weapon.
I knew if I checked in here today this thread would be a riot. I also knew I'd read some tired-ass "January 6th" b.s. Sooo predictable.
Your playbook is weak. Colt McCoy up the middle on 4th&5 weak. Funny how the lefties condemn rhetoric like Biden saying to put Trump in the bullseye, but stand and chant "dictator", "bloodbath" and "retribution" when plucked from sentences that could be easily explained to my dog... and then do the usual end-around to January 6th. It would be funnier if it wasn't so sad.
So, if you're keeping track at home:
Cheating Impeachment Lawfare Taking his money Turning a dead misdemeanor into 34 felonies
And a now a bullet... can't stop him... it only makes him stronger. Mythical Superhero style.
And now, you get what you deserve: the biggest LANDSLIDE since Reagan.
On the plus side, you'll have four more years of strong leadership rather than a slobbering brain-dead that can't complete two sentences without a shot of Adderall and four teleprompters... a puppet being controlled by people you didn't even vote for. You'll have to find obscure reasons to b*tch about winning again.
Sadly, through all of the rhetoric, this kid was a registered Republican who also donated 15 dollars to a democratic cause. So all of this BS about him being a liberal really doesn't hold water. It doesn't appear this confused young man really knew what he was. But then for some facts don't matter. They went straight to their go to line before learning anything. And my guess is they will still not learn anything after doing that. And yes, the made up BS you crossed out on that list has been shown to be nothing more than that. Sometimes it helps to wait and see what happened before screaming to the heavens. Just claiming made up things and saying prove me wrong isn't a viable position.
It's odd how all of you shout about shooters like this must be suffering from a mental illness. Until a crazed shooter targets one of your own. Then you change your tune. Then you also turn a lone shooter into an entire political party instead of holding a lone individual responsible for his own actions. Something you used to claim you stood for.
I'm glad trump is okay and it's a shame we have mentally troubled people walking around with guns. Luckily he wasn't nearly as good of a marksman as Lee Harvey Oswald or we would all be having a very different conversation today.

PA is a closed primary state. It is not unusual for people to register as a party to try and disrupt the primary with their vote. I wouldn't take much of anything tossed out right now as hard fact, or use it as a credible motive.
What does that ish have to do with anything? Besides, millions have changed party affiliation during the primary process in a crybaby attempt to vote against their bogeyman. But I see your going to spam all the threads screaming "republican" so you can pile up some free posts. He. tried. to. kill. your. next. president. I'm not sure what his party affiliation of record has to do with anything.

You can't prove that. Pit needs DNA evidence. The same dude that preaches all of his far-fetched b.s. and says "it's just common-sense" and calls everyone gullible if they don't toe the line.
Why wouldn't he register as a Democrat if he supports and voted Democrat? It would make sense if there had been a competitive GOP primary because that would allow for it to make sense that he could have been a "never trump" guy. But trump was running away with the primary. It is factual he was a registered Republican. It is also factual he donated 15 dollars to a democratic cause. What that all ends up meaning in the final analysis of this kid as of right now nobody can say for sure. But given the facts presented as we know them, a lot of people jumped off the deep end with yet another theory with nothing to base it on but trump was shot at.
I'm still wondering why the same crowd that when such shootings happen anywhere else they claim it's a mental illness and now suddenly its "the libs". It was lone 20 year old gunman.

The DNA evidence says he's a registered republican. That's more DNA evidence than you have that he's a liberal.

Prove what? What actual evidence does this provide? If you're gonna talk $#!+ don't turn around and pretend you didn't. There is zero evidence either way as to who he was actually affiliated with or who he supported. I provided that not only was he a registered Republican but that trump was running away with the primary so there was no actual motive to register Republican in terms of trying to defeat trump in the primary. To maintain balance on the topic I also posted that he donated 15$ to a democratic cause. In case you missed it, showing both sides isn't bias.There's no actual evidence that he was anything other than a very deranged young man. But go back to the beginning and read this thread again.
All you did in response is throw out some BS rhetoric. But I'm not surprised by that.

And, allegedly, the guy's only political contribution was to a progressive PAC. But yes, I'm sure more information will be revealed that could lean to a motive.
At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.
Yep, the whole $15. Why is him being a registered Republican so easily dismissed but a $15 contribution so meaningful to certain people? Things that make you go hmmmmm.

just checking in here to say, regardless of the side or issue, yesterday was intimate and emotional for a lot of Americans
Prayers that we can all find the unity that we need
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."
Swish some young man was interviewed on bbc , said he was yelling at cops for a full minute that there was a guy on the roof with a gun. I agree with you, heads are gonna roll. Could it be the swamp rising up to defend itself??? Ok I am just kidding about that!! I think???
What happened yesterday was a horrible testament as to where we are now as a country. It wasn't the first and it certainly won't be the last. I lived through the assassinations of JFK, RFK, MLK, and Malcom X. Times in our nation I had hoped we had gotten past. But the political vitriol we see today made me aware we were more likely than not to head backwards in the regard. And IMO it's only going to get even worse.

What would be good for the country is seeing both Trump and Biden at the funeral of the man who passed.....hell, even next to one another as a sign of unity for this tragedy.
At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.
Legally, who knows- states rights and look it up, lots of different laws in each state---he, the shooter, got his dad's gun. Just some sobering facts- in 1994, about 400,000 AR-15s in civilian hands......now, number is unknown, but " they " think the number is beyond 20,000,000 - that is 20 million AR-15s. Wonder how many guns in our Great Society- I know guns don't kill, but how many "unstable" folks have access to guns. I won't go to a rally, it ain't smart.

Yep, everyone has a theory....by next week we will have 2 million conspiracies. Maybe Greene can say the libtards used their space weapon to control the 20yr olds mind to shoot at Trump. Nuts on right, nuts on left and lots of guns.......Flashback, Woodstock--Whoopy, we are all going to die.....hopefully not shot at a political rally.

There's no doubt about that! That would be wonderful. If there's anything that both parties should be able to unify around, it should be this.

I have been briefed on the shooting at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania.
I’m grateful to hear that he’s safe and doing well. I’m praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information.
Jill and I are grateful to the Secret Service for getting him to safety. There’s no place for this kind of violence in America. We must unite as one nation to condemn it.

'Demolition Ranch' Owner Responds to Thomas Matthew Crooks Shooting Trump
The suspect in the attempted shooting of former President Donald Trump on Saturday was apprehended while wearing merchandise associated with the popular YouTube channel, Demolition Ranch.
The incident occurred during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania where Trump was addressing a crowd of supporters. Authorities killed the suspect, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, after he allegedly fired several shots toward the stage where Trump was speaking.
Authorities noted that Crooks was wearing a T-shirt from Demolition Ranch, a YouTube channel known for its firearms and demolition content. The channel, hosted by Matt Carriker, boasts millions of subscribers and features videos that explore the capabilities of various firearms and explosive devices.
On Instagram, Carriker posted a photo of the downed suspect wearing the merchandise with the words: "What the hell."
Newsweek has contacted Carriker via Instagram for comment.
Carriker, a veterinarian by trade, started the Demolition Ranch channel as a hobby in 2011. Initially a small channel for firearm enthusiasts, the channel has grown exponentially since its inception, now attracting over 11 million subscribers and billions of views.
The channel is known for its high-energy content, including unconventional experiments, demonstrations, gun reviews, and educational content on firearms safety and handling.
Carriker has run several other successful YouTube channels, including "Vet Ranch," where he and fellow veterinarians provide medical care to homeless animals, and "OffTheRanch," a vlog channel offering a glimpse into his personal life and various projects.
The success of Demolition Ranch paved the way for other ventures. Carriker expanded his reach beyond YouTube and collaborated with numerous brands while also launching a line of merchandise.
According to the Demolition Ranch merchandise website, Carriker now has a net worth of $4.3 million, including real estate investment. His estimated yearly income is $445,000 to $504,000.
"Matt Carriker's monthly salary is $24,000 to $27,000 and he makes around $13,000 to $15,000 per month from his YouTube channels. He gets over 17 million views per month on his main YouTube channel," states the website.
Demolition Ranch merchandise includes clothing accessories for men and women, as well as youth designs and baby onesies.
Another project of Carriker's, Desperado's Shooting Range, in Texas, claims to offer "a premier shooting experience set against the backdrop of stunning natural beauty. Our private range caters to shooters of all skill levels, providing a safe and welcoming environment for enthusiasts to hone their marksmanship skills and embrace their passion of the shooting sports."
Newsweek reached out to Desperado's Shooting Range outside of working hours on Sunday for comment.
J/C The suspect is a stupid libtard kid. Perfect representation of the libtard culture in this country. When they don’t get what they want, they resort to violence, looting and rioting. Take that kid directly to jail. Better yet, take him to the cemetery and put one right between his eyeballs.
Says the GOPer who is in a cult of the party of law and order, where leap frogging the judicial system is the order of the day. Maybe a little gun control from the GOPer side may have prevented this. Who knows.
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Thomas Jefferson.
Man.... what a mess our country is in right now....
Some thoughts on this
Thank God that kid is a terrible shot... an inch to the right and Trump would be dead... don't care what your political beliefs are, political violence should never happen in our country. Also, I can appreciate Trump being Trump, but he needed to stay down and get off that stage faster once they announced shooter was down.
SS.... great job jumping to cover Trump... terrible job securing a close building... need to investigate how the shooter got there
I appreciate Biden's response so far... I think he's a doddering old fool, but think he's had a solid response to this so far condemning the shooting and asking the public to not believe everything they read online....
With that, I want to wait to learn more about the shooters motiviation.... I know he's a registered republican who donated to a democrat PAC.... so let's wait to learn more about his true motiviation.... heard his parents are cooperating which I appreciate
Feel horrible for the family of the man who lost his life... praying for his wife and girls....
Lastly, I've been deeply saddened by the idiots online who have posted their dismay that the shooter missed... again, political violence is never ok... you don't like a candidate? then campaign and get people to vote against him.... that's what we're supposed to do in this country...
anxious to learn more about how something like this could happen and praying for all our politicians and their family... as many have said... too many nut jobs on both sides...
It’s unreal how disgusting democrats have become. The fact the she felt entitled enough to post that about our President is absolutely sickening. Then again, these are the people that prop up career criminals like george floyd. - Loser robbed a pregnant woman at gun point during his lifelong career as a criminal. Trump is Superman. He’s the reason why Americans are waking up to the disgraceful crap that the liberals support and want to weave into our American fabric. I’m so thankful that he’s come along and is putting an end to this radical nonsense.
