> [@Leaper](#): > > Jesus, Secret Service members talking to TMZ?! That doesn’t instill a lot of confidence in their professionalism for me. - They let a shooter get close enough to get several shots off. That was rapid fire. You don’t rapid fire from 1000 yds. ---

True enough, thanks! Somehow the idea that the source is someone who was cleared for SS info makes it feel better to me. ---

The pictures being shown appear to show both teleprompters intact. Unless there was a third. ---

> [@DavidNRockies](#): > > I hate that kind of rhetoric, though drawing causal links from one to the other is basically foolish and impossible. Correct, terms like “target”, “aiming”,”bullseye”, these are common terms in our language that can be related to firearms but aren’t always. When I hear “bullseye” my thought first goes to throwing darts, since I loved darts in my teen years. But no, Biden was not saying “someone should shoot Trump” or anything close. This sounds like ridiculous MAGA whataboutism to try to say Biden is just like Trump in trying to provoke people to violence, which is laughably wrong. ---

Had trump said that and someone shot at Biden you would think otherwise. ---

After Republicans putting out ads with literal bullseyes of their opponents and, again, literally shooting guns at their ‘’‘opponents’‘’ I’m more than a little bothered that that quote is what… some folks are now trumpeting. ---

I’m hearing that one person in the crowd was killed, one seriously hurt and that the shooter is dead? I saw a vid with State Troopers pulling someone hurt/dead off of the bleachers. Yes it is all speculation right now; I wasn’t there. I have been counseled that the GQP Boys will likely be out looking for ‘payback’ this weekend, so stay safe people. ( ie- If you are a well known supporter of President Biden, it’s probably not a safe day for you to take a walk in the park ) ---

As someone who has heard thousands of rounds fired in open air those definitely sounded like gunshots. Gunshots don’t sound as impressive as they do on tv shows especially when they are being picked up by directional mics. ---
