Was it staged? Or was it real?

I think it could be. I mean just because people were killed doesn’t mean it’s not all planned. It’s very easy with the power and influence Trump has to convince the assassin that he’ll get whatever he wants for this and then kill him anyways. Politics are the literal future of an entire country. Of course people will be willing to do whatever it takes to get their wanted positions in it.

Let the investigation continue. Any investigation takes time. Don't ever come to conclusions without at least a full investigation.

Once it's completed then come to conclusions!

As a former Airborne Infantryman who trained on a M14 as a designated squad sniper (for a while at least), having fired in arctic, jungle and desert conditions using M16s, M4s (AR-15s are the civilan varient), 50 cals, M249s, M240s, shotguns, and some weird stuff handed to me at firing ranges, I know for a fact it is impossible to be reasonably expected to shoot a target the size of a ear from any distance farther than 5 feet away, especially if wind is involved.

Trump owns and has show weapons before (I assume he shot his weapons in NY to qualify for conceal carry). I do not believe anyone with a IQ high enough to pass a gun course will say it is a good idea to have someone target their ear from a couple of hundred meters away. A sniper trains to hit "center mass" at such a target, that means the chest. Not a puny ear. You don't target the ear, it's right next to the brain.

So no, Trump did not set this up. He was already leading in all the swing states with growing momentum. I wouldn't trust even a sniper in the President's 100 (100 top military snipers, and they tend to be women with tits cause their boobs act as stabilizing bipods) with the best gear out there. I've seen the best gear, I had to work as a slave for the Ranger's A Team (I failed to join the rangers and got drafted into slace duties for them as I awaited my new unkt orders) , seen what the most elite snipers we have use. None of that stuff will consistently target just a ear with no margin of failure. It's insane. Army basic training, as some have suggested on this site, does not even remotely give you the skillset to target a head. It's all center mass, and they don't teach you how to adjust for the wind. That's very advanced stuff only a few get high level access to. A good infantryman can hit a target at 1000 yards, and by hit I mean anywhere on the target, enough that the pop up goes down. They get to be snipers. Alot of guys struggle at just 25 yards, close enough to throw a rock at it.

These are professional infantryman. Rifle is their lives. Most people can't shoot. Mlst gun collectors have no idea how to use their weapons. I do, and I don't own a gun. Think it's a mental crutch for their short comings. And a AR-15 is a low caliber crap weapon for hunting deer (I live real close to Butler PA) and you don't buy it for hunting but rather because you seen it on movies and videogames and want to look cool. Alot of police use it merely because they recruit infantry veterans and makes mass training much easier as you're bound to have several experts trained on it day one of recruiting. But it's a crap sniper weapon. It's best for door to door fighting. People say to use it in the jungle like Vietnam but they never had leaces and little vines get stuck all through it when low crawling through a bush with it. Way better stuff to use. The sex would be a woman, her age double this guy's age, and it be a two man team, and nobody skilled enough would agree to do it because it can't be safely done.

On the one hand, I seriously doubt Trump would allow a plan that involved a bullet shot anywhere near him, much less at him. And I have a hard time picturing a scenario that Crooks could be talked into giving his life for a publicity stunt.

In the other hand, Trump’s multiple tweets of “all hell will break loose” trying to get as many eyes on this rally as possible rings very closely to Bannon’s “all hell will break loose” and Trump’s “it’s gonna be wild” just before the J6 event.

In the end, I’ll wait to hear the results of the multiple independent investigations taking place.

The story that is emerging is that he was a loner in school, frequently bullied mostly centered around his clothing and social isolation, fascinated with guns, wore clothing depicting “2nd Amendment” and firearms, displayed Trump paraphernalia in his yard, was a registered Republican and last voted in Pennsylvania’s 2022 closed Republican primary. It appears that this kid’s violent tendencies were stoked by Trump and that he relatively recently came to feel Trump was deceitful, untrustworthy, and manipulated his followers to commit crimes.

This is the kind of emotional tinder that Trump keeps trying to ignite and his efforts turned back on him this time. If you are feeling sorry for Trump, think on this: at his rallies he openly mocks the violent attack on Paul Pelosi. Trump is already trying to weaponize this assassination attempt despite the fact
that he and his followers & enablers are the only ones injecting violence into the campaign.

Corey Comperatore, the firefighter who died at the scene, used his body to shield his family. He was an avid Trump supporter. According to Helen Compertore (his wife) Joe Biden attempted to call the family to give his condolences, but she declined to speak to him. He says that although she is a Trump supporter and plans to vote for him she bears no ill will toward President Biden and she stated to reporters that President Biden “didn’t harm her family.”

It speaks volumes that Trump has made no effort to contact the family.

It's a failure of the Secret Service

Well..... A guy died, so I'm sure his family doesn't think it's staged.

Nope, not staged. You don't put your life in the hands of a young, inexperienced shooter, especially one with an AR-15 type of long gun.

Staged. Just like him and his tyrant friends every thing is staged.

I really do believe it was real.


But for you conspiracy theorists - a few of these were found on the scene....

You are incorrect. And ill informed, and you are trying to create a conspiracy theory because you hate Trump. 'Nuff said.

Not staged

It was staged ... by the ADPC. The American Democratic Production Company.
Barack Obama, producer. Hillary Clinton, director. Peter Buttigieg, Best Boy.

Is Trump the kind of person, capable of doing it. Possibly, although killing two people that way , it seems extreme even for him.
His wound was the result of glass fragments , not a bullet. And his timing on the fist pump seems too convenient. Secret service men, usually don’t give anyone a moment in the open after shots are fired, there’s always the chance there could be more than one shooter.
The deaths make it unlikely it was staged, but he is going to milk it for all it’s worth.

I'm with @TheOneyouwerewarnedabout, kinda ironic that the people who've been screeching about supposed right wing "conspiracy theories" like russian collusion, hunters laptop, ashleys diary, etc. for years after they've been proven true...

have suddenly become conspiracy theorists only days after an assassination attempt, before any credible report has been released... 🤔

As of now, I think it was staged.

you know what's more believable? that this was an inside job gone wrong.

I believe in evidence and I see no evidence pointing to the fact that it was staged. I’m very disappointed in the left for buying into ridiculous conspiracy theories. We used to be above that.

I'd say it is very likely. Making yourself look like a martyr is a good way to garner sympathy.
Back then Putyin orcastrated an attack and claimed he can protect the citizens 🤷‍♀️it worked,he is in power since 1999

@Motzu Also the rapid fire suggest the shooter had little control over where he was shooting as each shot’s recoil required a few seconds to restabaljze and reaim. The fire was so rapid that everything after the first shot was scattered , thus killing or wounding people 10
yards away. Those scattered shots could have gone anywhere. Sadly , one killed someone and two severely wounded people.

My own experience on a firing range was at least 5 seconds between shots

I don’t think we will ever know for sure if was real or staged. I say that, looking back at the Kennedy and MLK assassinations. To this day, there is no certainty regarding the truth. Then there is the fact that is debatable whether the FBI and DOJ’s loyalties are to the Whitehouse or the American People…all of the of the American People, without regard to politics.

What I find more disturbing is the people in previous comments who are so adamant in their assertions on both sides…who are so absolute in their certainty, when only the merest of facts are known.

It feels staged

It really really does
But it might just be real this time.

Does "real" mean anything important anymore though when it comes to political rituals????

Would he have had an ear left at all? Wouldn't there be other injury to his face ?

No info yet to speculate any conspiracy theories. We know what we know.

You also see a lot of pure propaganda. Baseless thoughts and ideas.

alex jones noises intensifies...

Dont believe the propaganda of the left. It is their rhetoric that encourages violence ant nutballs

The only scary part is you saying you have no idea what to think.

I doubt it was staged too many things can go wrong

It felt real....until it was all...I dont know?

My guess, staged.

make up your mind after hearing the facts. don't try to warp the facts to fit your views

Well, you know what they say about opinions. Everybody has one. Here's mine.

It was staged.

If nobody had been killed,then maybe I'd have said it's a possibility

@GlitterEater Apparently I have been blocked, so I'm starting a new thread. I do now, yes, I shamefully admit it was in the middle of a cranky insomniac middle of the night and I wasn't thinking straight, I apologize :(
