Fuck me, Trump even taunted the Pelosis following that attack. > > And as for “bullseye” comments, I believe that was first introduced as legitimate political discourse back in the Sarah Palin era, when she put out a poster with Gabbie Giffords’ face in a bullseye. Gabbie, as you’ll remember, ended up getting shot in the head by a disturbed individual. Eh, I don’t think Loughner was affected by Palin; he went after Gabby because he was severely mentally ill and resented women with power and she was female. I’m surprised only 2 people got hit. ---

Some sort of George Wallace thing going on here? ---

Someone took a try at a headshot, they missed. It doesn’t matter. It was a violent act. The man was hurt, thankfully not seriously. I condemn any use of violent means for political effect. By anyone. Where are we? In some horrible country that cannot control mad assassins? Unacceptable. ---

There are people who are just out of control. Why is this happening? I’m afraid. ---

It seems patently different. For some reason. ---

> [@Texikid](#): > > is there a link to this you can provide? This would be really helpful right now.Thanks. Here’s a link to a still picture. Not graphic. I’ve seen both a higher resolution pic and the video. Nothing showing anyone shooting just this aftermath. [https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/s/Xhk28C6MRu](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/s/Xhk28C6MRu) The higher resolution pic showed that he was wearing a shirt that appeared to be from the military clothing company Grunt Style. They have distinctive flags on the right sleeve. ---

Just reported the shooter fired 8 rounds from AR15-style rifle before being killed. Was about 300 yards away from the stage on a rooftop. Speculating it was a “lone wolf” type of attack. ---

Then the Secret Service really screwed up. 300 yards is not that far at all. No way should someone be that close with a rifle. ---

Trump has posted in Truth Social that he was shot by a bullet that pierced his ear. ---

I can’t say that I’m surprised. I haven’t seen so much intensity and division in an election since George Wallace got shot in 1972. As much as I dislike Trump. I’m glad for our country’s sake that he’s ok. It didn’t even hurt his hair weave. ---

Trump was probably protected by transparent bullet proof plexiglass. Just like Biden has been at various rallies. ---

Moderating: > [@kayaker](#): > > Fucking Pennsylvanian’s. People around me go through piles of ammunition every weekend, forcing me to sedate one of our dogs. When it matters, they miss. Let’s not do this. Advocating for someone to be murdered isn’t allowed on this board, even if it is only carefully implied.
