I didn't say it deserves censorship.

However, we see you.

Excuses for political friends, punishment for political enemies.

Nooooo. People disagreeing is a principle of a discussion group. Don't make it sterile , like the BBS. Besides, Wisbech brings a huge amount of comedy to the boards,

The rhetoric in politics both here and abroad is pretty vile at times.
From Angela Rayner calling the Tories scum, in parliament, to some of the stuff - on both sides in America - it is all pretty bad.
The trouble is that idiots fixate on it, believe it to be true and then try and do something about it and with gun - no - laws in America as they are, is it any surprise that some kid didn't think twice before taking a pot shot at Trump.
He probably thought he was helping the world.
It is all crazy and they need to wind down the personal stuff and words like "bullseye" from Biden on Trump and the BBC guy here posting that Biden should take Trump out, should be treated severely.
How the BBC guy still has a job I have no idea.

a random example? How about Boris accusing Starmer of refusing to prosecute Jimmy Saville, something that was not only incorrect but caused Starmer to face a number of death threats.

How about all the Trump supporters calling for tougher gun laws so these people don't have access to daddy's guns? Yep, it's been pretty quiet on that front hasn't it.

Agreed, myself & WE agree on very little, I am absolutely convinced he is either a troll or some kind of AI/bot that is harvesting information on thousands of message boards but I wouldn't want him banned.
Does he take advantage of the relaxed moderation to either smugly pump himself up or to retort to us plebs with snarling condescension? Yes, constantly.

I wouldn't ban him though.

Probably crying as he pulled the trigger.

The counter sniper made a mess of his head.

However, considering how fast he was shot after shooting they must have known his position....dodgey.

It gets messier and messier. And still the question as to why that roof had nobody on it. It should have been SOP to have people on that roof, if only to monitor the Trump rally from a different angle.

This beggers belief more and more.

Was it an attempt on his life? If you listen to some of the conspiracy theories, not the ones you read here, it was all staged to show him as a hero before the Convention.

But yes, I detest violence of every kind and never want it to succeed.

I wish he had never been born, not that he must now be removed. He exists, but so does the populism that allows such a character to be elevated to high office.

It’s the belief in populism as a solution to political problems that needs to be removed. Not the pawns that try to manoeuvre their way to become kings.

Jeez!

Firstly, thanks for the technical stuff. Adds to it all. But this point I have quoted is what matters above all else. This was not some built-up urban area dominated by rooftops and windows. This was a relatively open area with very few vantage spots for a potential sniper to utilise. And that particular roof would have been the number one choice. Standing out to even the most basic onlooker as a spot that needed securing even if only to make use of for security purposes such as observing the crowd facing onto where Trump was speaking. In fact, them not having people stationed up there is just as shocking.

The only question is the negligence just incompetence or willful? A simple, binary choice.

Absolutely no way they happened to miss securing that building.
From the range we're talking & the rifle used, I would say you can expect a 1" grouping, if Trump was a cat he has used up 8 of his lives, it's honestly an easy shot

It does begger belief. You do a risk assessment of that site and that building would scream out at you. More than that. Come with a huge big red flag.

If anything, one of the easier venues to secure given the lack of high buildings surrounding it.

For me the only question is why that roof was not being occupied by security people for monitoring the rear of the crowd. That is what makes zero sense. That roof space should have been crawling with security.

The sniper team that took out the shooter were clearly placed to face that direction. That roof space must have been under constant observation.

Very much so. Even seeing Left Wing media sites questioning just what the hell happened here because this was glaring.

My own take, which I accept comes with the proviso of my own extremist right-wing views, is that the Deep State are so arrogant that they wanted to take out Trump in such a blatent manner that it sent a wider message to anybody else daring to challenge the official farce of modern politics.

That they simply did not care what people thought. Displayed their utter arrogance and contempt by staging what is clearly a set-up. Blow Trump's head off at a campaign rally and send a message to anybody else daring to question their divine right to rule. We will not protect you. Your own security service will literally set you up for public execution. And not really care a single iota that the world knows it.

Except it failed.

Now I have many, many issues with Trump. This is what the Left sometimes fail to understand about those of us on the extreme Right. Trump is not our man. Not even close. Despise him for many of the reasons the Left do.

But yesterday finally convinced me they are scared of him. And in their literal arrogance, might have actually secured him the White House. At a potential stroll.

I think they will try again. There is no way he gets to stand without at least one more serious attempt to take him out. Trump has them running scared.

For all of the security blunders, it still takes a rogue shooter to randomly exploit the security failings that day. Or was the shooter set-up ? After failing to kill Trump, he was taken out immediately. If he'd killed Trump, the shooter would still have been killed.
everything is just too clear-cut, for me to believe the coincidental security lapses and exploitation.

I'm sure plausible deniability will be woven in over the coming weeks to answer all the questions.

But really. Who cares what people suspect if any trail of evidence is investigated by the same people who were responsible?

Now confirmed the shooter was confronted on the roof by a Police officer who retreated when Crooks pointed the gun at him & somehow code red or whatever word they use wasnt screamed over the radio & Trump ushered away into his bullet proof car.

The FBI have simultaneously insisted Crooks operated alone & also are unable to jail break his phone, how the hell do they know if they cant access his phone?

This whole thing stinks.

There seems a big and rather obvious problem with this particular conspiracy theory. If this was a coordinated and planned attack by professionals they wouldn’t have failed. Whoever would have been used would have known what the score was so would either have been prepared to die for the cause or have done it in a way which defied detection and enabled escape. The shooter was clearly not a professional, seems unlikely to have known the score and certainly had no means of escape. He may well have been a patsy set up by someone else but it defies logic that there was a bigger plan behind it. This talk of a “deep state” somehow controlling things behind the scenes is risible. You could never keep anything like that secret. It would leak. It doesn’t exist. There are elected representatives and public servants who are genuinely concerned about the prospect of a second Trump term, but no secret organisation directing them.

We need to wait rather than speculate. I will. The trouble is others won’t and even when official conclusions are reached won’t believe them.

If nobody trusts anyone any more how on earth can a society function?

Apparently this guy is blissfully unaware of the numerous books written by ex CIA and FBI and the past projects both legal and illegal that have been admitted to....even apologised by before.

But no, it's all innocent and above board.

I suppose you can't expect honesty from a guy who's been up in court multiple times.
