Dude, no. I don’t want to live in a country where politicians are being shot.

Also, I’m pretty sure the blond woman on his left / our right is the one who died. She did not deserve that.

Not the time for jokes.

Nobody in their right mind would want that, but Trump advocates violence and fascistic authoritarian order and he shouldn’t be surprised when he receives violence.

Is the shooter dead? Where do we go to contribute to their defense fund or family?

Their family will probably be harassed or killed by rabid fascists, I’m guessing.

They are not a patriot, they are a terrorist. This isn’t how it’s supposed to work.

Pinning for visibility:

Watching the coverage right now, as the (shots?) rang out, he grabbed his right ear just before the Secret Service took him down and hustled him off.

Official statement:

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/secret-service-rushes-trump-stage-shots-fired-pennsylvania-rally-rcna161735

“An incident occurred the evening of July 13 at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania. The Secret Service has implemented protective measures and the former President is safe. This is now an active Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available.”

Audio reads “shooter is down” and there are reports of someone in custody.

Edit Definitely blood on his right ear. Just got a better look at it, top of his right ear.

That headline makes it sound like NYT confirmed it wasn’t staged. Who wants to bet whether NYT did their due diligence before making that assertion?

Happened less than an hour ago, so I’m sure the Famous For Getting Their Facts Straight Before Publishing NYT wouldn’t have written that if they didn’t have a good reason.
