I have some very close friends who have supported Trump.

If you're going to tell me they deserve to die, then you and I are about to have words.

All of you people who are joking about the assassination attempt are acting shamefully.

Besides the shooter, an innocent bystander was killed, and another person is reportedly in critical condition.

Are those people part of your joke? Are they part of the conspiracy, too???

@CinnamonGirlE
That's what needed to be said. There should have been a statement from Biden out even before this.

As someone who served in law enforcement ... PLEASE do not take as fact the various reports being posted right now, especially those not citing a source. Law enforcement will follow the evidence and tell you what happened once they know the truth.

*sigh**sigh*

It was a rifle.

From a rooftop just outside of the event.

Witness saw the shooter on the roof before he fired. Told police and Secret Service. They did not arrive at the scene in time to prevent the first shot.

The flurry of follow up shots was law enforcement killing the shooter.

The reason why it sounded like small caliber fire is the distance from the recording microphones.

@Botanic
Yeah, I found a longer video clip that confirms both of you are right.

Gentle reminder that speculation in the immediate aftermath of Big Things Happening is generally unhelpful.

Give it time. Wait for the fog to lift. Hold the hot takes. Do some self-care in the meantime.

PSA: Don't blame CounterSocial for fuckers.

Just use the tools and make them disappear.

He got hit in the ear, as confirmed by the photos of his bloody ear. He was raising his hand to touch his ear not pumping his fist.

Remember folks, mute, block and filters are your friend. Please use the tools as you feel necessary for the feeds to be best for you . 💜

Render addressed this earlier when I asked a similar question.

@mockingbird
I mean there are certainly going to be people claiming false flag except there was blood so I really don't think so.

The crowd reaction could be down to the fact that suppressed 22 LR (as ID'd by Render) doesn't sound at all like what most people think of when they think gunshots. My experience shooting unsuppressed 22 is that the pitch is much higher than you might expect.

I hope you don't leave. Because fuck those people.

I think we had a large contingent of folks come in after Musk took over Twitter, and they brought The engagement pandering and outrage farming with them, despite many of us telling them that's not how we roll here.

That large contingent never really assimilated and just keep churning toxicity.

And just like that, my plans for going out in a crowd tonight feel a lot different.

Please keep your situational awareness high, folks.

If anyone celebrates an assassination attempt, I will immediately delete my account here. I’m not even fucking kidding. I dislike all politicians, but there’s a line that once is crossed, there’s no turning back. Iykyk, and if you don’t, your opinion doesn't matter.

Ya know what I do when Rumor, and crazy shit are filling my feed.
I turn away and watch this for a while.
