Ever noticed that every time the republicans look like they are doomed, immediately something progressively more implausible happens that swings the vote? And that it's usually fake or blown out of proportion by media? This looks like just the most recent of a long list of ridiculous but effective marketing operations like the pizza gate.

No visible wound.
That image is not high enough quality to say that.
There is a noticably bloody area in is right upper earlobe that could be a chunk taken out by basically a 5.56 round, but again, its too crappy to be definitive.
Also this twitter poster claiming it is a bb gun is a fucking moron.
BB Guns do not have have an echoing report after the initial shot, as is easily audible from the shots that occur after the audio re equalizes when Trump goes down from the podium.
The audio sounds tinny and poppy because it is equalized for human voice in a large outdoor environment. A BB gun would not be audible whatsoever.
Obvious blood capsule is obvious- just speculating / asking questions .
Why are people screaming and afraid? Guns are a part of society in America. Unless… they’re dangerous…
The secret service didn't let anyone but the shooter have a gun, so everyone's feeling awkward
Anyone got insights to a right-wing forum and what they’re saying? Blaming the libs? Advocating for violence? What conspiracies are they putting together?
Right wingers on Twitter are saying libs "need to pay", Biden did it, even.. "god saved Trump" - Marco Rubio
Biden couldn't have done it, he's busy carpet bombing children in Gaza.
Thoughts and prayers
You're "own" isn't an own at all. Prayers are important. Especially for the now deceased shooter, his family and the victims (including Trump). Lots of callousness in this thread.
Gotta love how people are instantly pulling a QAnon deal of "ITS A FALSE FLAG, FAKE NEWS, NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT A GRAND CABAL!"
I'm more pissed at how they missed the big orange fucker. Aim better next time.
Man it is a sad state that folks upvote this. I despise Trump but this behavior is disgusting. Bloodthirsty hypocrites.
exactly
Why were people Scared? Guns are SAFE! Guns are SO SAFE that they're trying to FORCE them into Schools! It would be INCREDIBLY FUCKED UP if the same people who RAN AWAY from the Guns want to FORCE OUR KIDS into that Situation EVERY DAY!
Shooter has been identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks. Some sources say he was affiliated with some anti-fascist group, and other places are saying he was a registered Republican.
