So, we have a feeble demented 78 year old man Fiendish Thingy Jul 18 #3

USA Today has a detailed timeline showing he was on the ground no more than 1:25. Snarkoleptic Jul 18 #9

Kid shooter was also a maga. Scrivener7 Jul 18 #10

So the SS was in on the hoax? Fiendish Thingy Jul 18 #11

SS ineptitude is a possbility and people died for this stunt. Snarkoleptic Jul 18 #15

So, you believe the shooting was staged, and arranged in advance by the campaign? Fiendish Thingy Jul 18 #16

I think it may have been staged. Snarkoleptic Jul 18 #23

A "joke" that killed two people and wounded a few others? Fiendish Thingy Jul 18 #24

Have you ever been a Federal LEO and organized, participated in, and/or... Wuddles440 Jul 18 #52

So the flaws in the narrative suggest it was staged? Fiendish Thingy Jul 18 #68

See post 40. Do you actually believe anything coming from the trump admin? brush Jul 18 #42

There should either be a scar or a chunk of ear missing. lapfog_1 Jul 18 #4

He was probably asked to shoot above the crowd but he screwed up the shot. travelingthrulife Jul 18 #6

I guess that's possible. yardwork Jul 18 #12

Not to mention, only a very very tiny change in angle could have seriously killed Trump karynnj Jul 18 #76

Agreed. yardwork Jul 18 #78

Ronny Jackson publicly stated Trump had a 2cm gunshot wound, which is untrue. Snarkoleptic Jul 18 #7

That is obviously a lie but nothing new from that quack. yardwork Jul 18 #13

Known drinker doctor may have been seeing double. Attilatheblond Jul 18 #26

Pretty obvious IMO the SS and the kid shooter were in on it, but the kid shooter... brush Jul 18 #40

The kid was probably told he would never be convicted or see prison biophile Jul 18 #58

Absolutely. Agreed. The magats will stop at nothing. As you say, the kid never had a chance as he would be dead. brush Jul 18 #60

How much investigating was done afterward? bucolic_frolic Jul 18 #5

I just posted about this inside another thread. Here are the odd happenings the new video shows: Scrivener7 Jul 18 #8

So the Trump team knew in advance that he would be shot? Fiendish Thingy Jul 18 #17

The SS let the shooter, a 22 year old hapless maga, Scrivener7 Jul 18 #20

SS was in on it too. brush Jul 18 #43

The hydraulic boom which supported the flag suddenly dropped as hydraulic fluid sprayed the crowd. John1956PA Jul 18 #14

You're just providing inconvenient facts to spoil a perfectly good conspiracy theory. Fiendish Thingy Jul 18 #18

Thank you. The least that should be able to do in follow up . . . John1956PA Jul 18 #21

See post 22. You may like it, but it's not fact. It never happened. It's just a conspiracy theory. Scrivener7 Jul 18 #25

So, you believe the shooting was staged? Fiendish Thingy Jul 18 #28

Yes. Not the whole team, but a few who needed to know. Scrivener7 Jul 18 #29

Thanks Fiendish Thingy Jul 18 #30

But you believed the boom was shot when the owner has confirmed that it wasn't. So there's that. Scrivener7 Jul 18 #31

I believe the boom wasn't deliberately lowered to put the flag in the perfect photo op. Fiendish Thingy Jul 18 #33

And you believed the boom was shot when the owner Scrivener7 Jul 18 #34

My Reply No. 57 contains the following image taken from a video showing the spray of hydraulic fluid. John1956PA Jul 18 #59

Except the boom owner says his equipment was not damaged. See post 22. Scrivener7 Jul 18 #62

The damage might have been to some other a component of the pressurized hydraulic schematic. John1956PA Jul 18 #69

Read the article linked at post 22. The guy owned the booms and the cranes. He has confirmed his equipment Scrivener7 Jul 18 #71

I am talking about the green tractor. John1956PA Jul 18 #73

OK, but the guy who owned the cranes and booms for the flags said his equipment wasn't damaged. Scrivener7 Jul 18 #75

No. 1: The guy is a MAGA who said he would loan the equipment all over again. I do not trust what MAGAs say. John1956PA Jul 18 #77

LOL! Yes, no doubt the green tractor was powering something. Just not the flags. BECAUSE the owner Scrivener7 Jul 18 #79

I am curious, what is the difference between a boom and a crane? I do not know, and I would like to learn. John1956PA Jul 18 #80

Do you believe Trump knew? Fiendish Thingy Jul 18 #32

Yes. Scrivener7 Jul 18 #37

So, Susie Wiles and Chris Civitta (sp?) knew for sure? Nt Fiendish Thingy Jul 18 #35

I don't know who knew. I know that a 22 year old maga nursing home orderly outmaneuvered the Secret Service Scrivener7 Jul 18 #36

You're making good points. The only thing I don't agree on is that the shooter our maneuvered the SS. brush Jul 18 #45

I agree with you, and I think the fact the kid was maga supports you. But the person I was responding to is Scrivener7 Jul 18 #46

We're on the same page. brush Jul 18 #48

This !! It doesn't take a village to stage this just a few insiders uponit7771 Jul 18 #66

I agree with this. hamsterjill Jul 18 #74

I hadn't heard that, so searched for info and found a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article. Snarkoleptic Jul 18 #22

See post 22. The vehicle that was shot wasn't the crane holding the flag. Scrivener7 Jul 18 #51

As I have suggested in other posts on this thread, the green tractor might have taken the hit by the projectile. John1956PA Jul 18 #63

I have always been puzzled as to why the flag was lowered over the scene. Maybe someone riversedge Jul 18 #53

Hard pass on this tinfoilhatism CT bollocks. It's a bad look for DU to see this BlueAnon crackpottery flung out here. Celerity Jul 18 #61
