Gunfire at Presidential event tonight

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: C-Span

When you first hear the shots, Trump was interacting with the mentalist. My first thought was that Trump blew up the mentalist. Then someone tried to get the USA, USA, USA chant going. The first thing that crossed my mind was a picture of Kash Patel, hiding under a table with a couple of bottles of wine reliving his Olympic glory days chugging wine and trying to get the chant started.

No link yet.



I was watching a replay on C-Span. Trump was interacting with the mentalist when I heard the first bumps. My first thought was that Trump broke the mentalist. Then someone tried to start a USA, USA, USA chant. My first thought there was of Kash Petal swiping bottles of wine and hiding under the table and reliving his glory days with the hockey team, chugging the whine and chanting USA, USA.

MAGAt press: Our immortal leader faced death bravely!

Trump: I stood my ground, face the killer fearlessly, and downed him with my big scary stare!

Melania: Shit, you brought me to another dump Donald!

Super Secret Service guys: We are brave boys! We deserve a pat on the head!

Analysts pretending to be smart: full analysis of the shooter's childhood, influences, where he went wrong, etc.

Then the Sun goes down, time passes, the Sun goes up, and nothing changes.
