There's something a bit NQR about this, can't quite put my finger on it. Shooter pops 7 shots into a crowd and doesn't injure anyone else? Maybe I'm a cynic, but Mr Bone Spurs acts a little too cooly for someone who just got shot. And that fist shaking defiant pose? What secret service/security people would pause to let him do that?Looks more staged than a Christmas special lol.
Edit: apparently a rally attendee was killed. Not the right one, unfortunately.
Right, and the Musk announcing afterward that he's voting for him, this was 100% a staged assassination attempt. Five bucks he blames Biden of trying to have him killed because "he thinks he can get away with it" after the recent SC ruling.
I would stop thinking that way, or you're just asking yourself to be tread on by fascists. You think these fuckers would stop at any length, after they made this much progress? They'll be forming militias and organizing with police while redditors and .world sit on their asses talking about voOOoting and condemning any efforts at actual change, because they don't work within the confines liberal pacifist morality. Democracy is over (if it was ever alive in the first place), even in the off-chance Genocide Joe's rotting corpse wins the next election the supreme court will just decide it was illegitimate, if not sooner.
Ok well that was a bit of a detour but it's naive to think that even if people took up arms those who eventually step into power would somehow be benevolent. You only have to look at the history of Russia, Germany and many South East Asian countries as an example.
Trump himself has said it was "a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear" and several outlets (e.g. Axios, NBC, Vox) seem to have retracted information about the glass theory. Amusingly Trump is probably not a reliable source of information, so I'm hesitant to say the source of the injury is confirmed yet, but the retractions have me pretty skeptical about the glass theory.
I doubt anyone else is coming back to read this other than you if you have notifications on, but Snopes, based on photographic evidence of intact teleprompters and other evidence, is willing to rule the teleprompter glass shard theory as "False".
They do note the recent statement from FBI director who said: "There's some question about whether or not it's a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear", so I guess it's still not clear it was definitely a bullet but yeah, teleprompter glass seems to be out.
