THe possible shooter never got a shot off because he was spotted by USSS and shot at
THe possible shooter fled, left his rifle a go-pro and all his gear.
he was a trump voter
.... so who paid him to stage the assassination attempt? Just asking a question. Seems Trump has more to gain at a failed assassination attempt to stay in the headlines and distract from the recent stories.
The man accused of attempting to assassinate Trump appeared in court this morning, where prosecutors said he is being charged with:
—possession of a firearm by a convicted felon
—possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number
But what gets me is he is eligible for a public defender.... so how does he own a affordable housing company in Hawaii and travel to Ukraine?
Who is funding his crazy? How did he get the firearm?

Did they find any ammo in (or in the vicinity of) the rifle?
@Queasy I assume it was loaded with a full magazine. Not sure why knowing if there was more is important
Even if it was empty it is still a threat because LE wouldn't know
It was mostly idle curiosity.
I don't trust anyone involved with this.
@Kinnison Getting a firearm is very easy.
@Ruthat not arguing that. But last I checked straw purchasing for a felon was illegal. And the shooter knows who and how
@Kinnison Loophole is the parking lot purchase, nobody ask if you're a felon, hell I doubt they even ask if the buyer is sober.
@Kinnison Oh Life's little ironies!
@Kinnison One of the things I read yesterday about the Ukraine thing is that he had a GoFundMe for travel expenses.
WE HAVE A TOPIC CROSSOVER
the US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, who will prosecute the alleged attempted assassin of Donald Trump, is Markenzy Lapointe, a Marine Gulf War veteran and immigrant who was born in ... Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
