Looks like someone took some shots at prez candidate Donald Trump at a rally in PA. From the videos I’ve seen, it looks like he did get grazed.

        As much as I hate to admit this, it wasn’t a fake shooting. The ‘acting’ was way too good to be faked. The mid-word ‘stung in the ear’ confusion slowly followed by the realization of what happened and the clumsy collapse to the ground are just too believable to think it wasn’t real. That said, whether it was a false flag or not is another story.

        Won’t matter at this point. Even if it turns out to be faked. It won’t matter. His base is that fucking stupid. The idea has been planted and it doesn’t even have to be true.

        This just got him elected.

          There’s a lot of time, a lot can happen, but this just justified a lot of the nonsense narratives the right wing has been trying to push.

          I really hope you’re wrong, but it certainly helps him.

            I’ve never hoped to be wrong more I don’t think, but I fear now that the Cletus brigade is going to go on a fucking rampage.

            Innocent lives are gong to be lost over this.

      This is what wins him the election insurrection.

      FTFY. He called on his rabid supporters to “fight.” I think we all know what that means.

      Several secret service agents surrounded him as he put his hand up and appeared to shout “fight” to his supporters who began cheering.
