Well today of course we know that this looks like a true assassination attempt by a twenty-year old (or so reported) man who was registered Republican (or so reported) and he is now dead as is another person who was attending the rally, with two others injured.
As yet to be seen is how this will play out.
There is no good outcome that I can foresee.
I agree -- no good outcome. I didn't hear the guy was registered Republican, though. That's interesting.
ReplyDeleteNope, nothing good.
ReplyDeleteResorting to guns resolves nothing. A 20 something aged Republican took to guns. What is his story? There will be more to come. When Obama was president, he often stood behind a bulletproof glass shield. Sadly, the world is a dangerous place for high profile people.
ReplyDeleteThis election season has just been awful. I don't know how we can stand to wait until November. Just terrible.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad Mr. Moon is coming home tonight and you will be so happy to see him.
This is all so terrible. And it's only July. I fear what the next 4 months might bring.
ReplyDeleteSo glad Mr. Moon will be home today, though! I bet you can't wait to get your arms around him!
Another young white male. I'm waiting on cool heads with more facts. It seems the aim went wild, T***p injured by debris, maybe the screen in front of him.
ReplyDeleteNo, a bullet nipped his right ear! I was watching when it happened!
DeleteMy anxiety just keeps ticking up up up. I need to figure out some coping mechanisms because there's no end in sight.
ReplyDeleteYes, no good outcome.
ReplyDeleteNo good outcome indeed. The Far Right isn't dialing back their rhetoric and weaponizing their Base towards retribution, revenge, violence. Extremist Groups and Terrorists, Domestic or Foreign, have a play book they use quite often... this looks like that to me.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll go find a cave to live in. This is just too much.
ReplyDeleteI read the young man was belittled and bullied his whole life which is often a trigger and if he sees trump as the bully he is, that could be another trigger. We'll never know, since the boy is now dead and can't be questioned or treated.
ReplyDeleteWhy was Trump fisting the air and yelling "Fight! Fight!"? Fight who? Fight what? Already some commentators reckon that this incident will boost Trump's campaign like an injection of rocket fuel.
