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

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

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

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

I guess that's possible. yardwork Friday #12

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

Agreed. yardwork Friday #78

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks Fiendish Thingy Friday #30

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I am talking about the green tractor. John1956PA Friday #73

OK, but the guy who owned the cranes and booms for the flags said his equipment wasn't damaged. Scrivener7 Friday #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 Friday #77

LOL! Yes, no doubt the green tractor was powering something. Just not the flags. BECAUSE the owner Scrivener7 Friday #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 Friday #80

Do you believe Trump knew? Fiendish Thingy Friday #32

Yes. Scrivener7 Friday #37

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

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

You're making good points. The only thing I don't agree on is that the shooter our maneuvered the SS. brush Friday #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 Friday #46

We're on the same page. brush Friday #48

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

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

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

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