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.

      OK fair, I couldn’t find any such reference when I looked, but clearly did a shit job.

      I’m still not capable of believing anything in Trump’s life is genuine, so it still feels staged to me, but I acknowledge that my evidence has been debunked.

        Sure. It could have been faked.

        On the other hand, if I was an unhinged person with a gun and I thought there was a good chance a fascist dictator might run the U.S., I might be inclined to try to do something about it.

        There’s no reason not to rule something like that out.

          Yeah the truth is we don’t know. There are lots of possible causes we can’t rule out at this point, it seems dangerous for a publicity stunt, but it’s possible. Someone afraid and somewhat unhinged, among other possibilities.

      Wonder if this should be posted as a new article to the news communities? It’s important, more relevant information.

        Unfortunately that’s just one update on a page with regular updates. You would have to find a better link.
