Assassination attempt on Trump (2 Viewers)

Users who are viewing this thread

    Would-be Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks landed on authorities’ radar more than 90 minutes before he opened fire at the former president’s Pennsylvania campaign rally — roughly a half-hour more than what officials previously claimed — according to newly released text messages.

    Text messages between members of the Beaver County Emergency Service Unit obtained by the New York Times revealed a more concrete — and earlier — timeline leading up to the shooting that grazed the former president’s ear, injured two rallygoers and killed one.

    The messages also revealed that Crooks, 20, was aware of the law enforcement presence as he prepared his assassination attempt on the GOP nominee.

    Facebook acknowledged that it mistakenly censored the iconic image of former President Donald Trump with his fist raised in the immediate aftermath of the July 13 assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.

    A post on Mark Zuckerberg’s social media site by a user with the handle End Wokeness that showed the Republican presidential candidate defiantly pumping his fist in the air while blood streams down his face had initially been flagged as misinformation.

    The user was threatened with being deplatformed.

    ...“This fact check was initially applied to a doctored photo showing the secret service agents smiling, and in some cases our systems incorrectly applied that fact check to the real photo.”

    Lever added that “this has been fixed and we apologize for the mistake.”

    The Meta spokesperson’s clarification did not sit well with X users, including one who remarked: “Funny that the ‘errors’ only ever go in one direction. Just coincidence, I guess.”




    I agree. The "errors" are almost exclusively only affect people on the right.

    The fix is in with Big Tech. They are working to get Harris elected and its very obvious. I've posted the different examples of Google's election interference in the media thread.

    I thought all the tech bros were for Trump and Vance. The PAC Elon started is loaded with them.

    Oh spare me your fake outrage. Complete nonsense.

    I admire you for persevering through the years of persecution your people have suffered.

    Speaking of nonsense, you seem to be unable to post about the subject and you stick to childish one liners. Are you capable of adressing the subject at hand or is that just to much for you to handle?

    You basically said only your side is getting censored. And it's complete nonsense. I'll call it like I see it, and there's no boogeyman out to get you other than whatever it is you dreamed up.

    I stand by what I said.

    You still are unable to respond to the subject at hand. Can you post some examples of Biden or Harris content getting censored on social media?

    If you call it like you see it you definitely need some glasses.
     
    Nearly 100 minutes before former President Donald J. Trump took the stage in Butler, Pa., a local countersniper who was part of the broader security detail let his colleagues know his shift was ending.

    “Guys I am out. Be safe,” he texted to a group of colleagues at 4:19 p.m. on July 13. He exited the second floor of a warehouse that overlooked the campaign rally site, leaving two other countersnipers behind.

    Outside, the officer noticed a young man with long stringy hair sitting on a picnic table near the warehouse. So at 4:26 p.m., he texted his colleagues about the man, who was outside the fenced area of the Butler Fair Show grounds where Mr. Trump was to appear. He said that the person would have seen him come out with his rifle and “knows you guys are up there.”

    The countersniper who sent the texts confirmed to The New York Times that the individual he saw was later identified as the gunman.

    By 5:10 p.m., the young man was no longer on the picnic table. He was right below the countersnipers, who were upstairs in a warehouse owned by AGR International. One of the countersnipers took pictures of him, according to a law enforcement after-action report, which along with the texts from the Beaver County Emergency Services Unit was provided to The Times by the office of Senator Charles E. Grassley, Republican of Iowa. The text messages were independently verified by The Times.

    At 5:38 p.m., the photos were shared in a group chat, and another text went out among the officers, saying they should inform the Secret Service. “Kid learning around building we are in. AGR I believe it is. I did see him with a range finder looking towards stage. FYI. If you wanna notify SS snipers to look out. I lost sight of him.”

    By 6:11 p.m., the “kid” would be dead on the roof of a warehouse connected to the one the countersnipers were stationed in, after having been shot by the Secret Service for trying to kill a former president.

    Taken together, the text messages provide the most detailed picture yet of the hours before the assassination attempt. They reveal that the gunman, later identified as Thomas Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pa., aroused police suspicion more than 90 minutes before the shooting, rather than about 60 minutes, as has been previously discussed in congressional hearings.

    The messages also add to the evidence that the would-be assassin was often one step ahead of security forces, and in particular the Secret Service.

     
    I don't think thats what's happening. I think it's just being pointed out that Trump is making claims that he isn't providing full disclosure for. I don't think anyone denies someone tried to kill him and came close to doing it.
    Case in point..."Doctor" Ronnie Johnson claimed that Trump suffered a "2 cm wide wound that extended down to the cartilaginous surface of the ear."

    For perspective, a nickel is about 2 cm wide. Hole a nickel up next to your ear, and see how big ol' Doc Johnson said Trump's injury was....the injury that seems to have magically healed to look completely normal now.

    You're the one who brought up the topic. I spoke directly to what you said. Making sheet up as usual. :shrug:

    And you responded that it wasn't true, but conviently you are unable to show examples to prove your point because you have none. You are making shirt up as usual that you can't back up and that's why you stick to vague posts.

    You cannot turn this around. You are posting wildly speculative nonsense and saying it proves there is a conspiracy by Google and FB, yet there isn’t any real proof. What you are posting is the equivalent of anecdotal evidence - and it doesn’t come close to proving the existence of a conspiracy.

    Dave just pointed out how flimsy your claims are, so you need to come up with some real evidence. It’s not up to him to disprove what you say.

    I'm not gonna waste time ticking off all of the things that should be obvious to you. Everyone else here knows it except you. But just to humor you...

    Vague posts? Everyone else can figure that one out.

    funny how since the Republicans couldn't convince enough people that the attempt was politically motivated, it's just has kinda fallen off..
    i know Trump isn't happy the media has shifted from 'poor Trump' to 'look Kamala'...

    The subject at hand is what it is. An assassination attempt and a failure of security.

    The nonsense is you trying to make it something that it isn’t.
