The best part is there was a police officer who climbed the roof and saw the shooter, who threatened him with the gun, so he turned around. ~~Trump got shot because of scaredy-cop.~~

Edit: The cop possibly made him rush his shot and miss according to source (below). Thanks Blanketswithsmallpox. Apparently when I make a claim that is on a news site, I should put the link or get downvoted. 🀷

Sauce is AP News. Police officer likely saved Trump's life by making gunman rush for his shots.

The one time I wish they were pussies and they can't even get that right.

Trump was incredibly lucky. Shooter guy was also lucky and fairly skilled, but mostly exploited the incompetence or the security. Few cm-s to the right and he would have made history. Though I as an EU citizen would have preferred if he just stayed home. If Trump died, there would already be a civil war, and now he’ll β€œjust” win the election, which is also not great regarding the future support of Ukraine and security of Europe.

I don't think this is going to make the election play out much differently. Trumps crazies were already going to turn out. I'm still going to turn out.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

No luck about it. Luck is for people who don't plan.

Shooter guy was ... fairly skilled

Lol, not really. Hitting a bullseye on an 8 inch target is stupid easy at that distance with a rifle.

Either his sight was not properly set, or he was not very good with it. Or maybe both.

Who knows. Glad he sucked. It's just a shame his missed shots hit people.

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 11 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Any source for that?

~~Non-Reddit linked sauce: https://apnews.com/live/election-biden-trump-campaign-updates-07-13-2024#00000190-b27e-dc4e-ab9d-ba7eb1060000~~

Edit: Jk it won’t work. Edit: here’s the text:

Local police officer encountered shooter before he fired towards Trump, AP sources say

BY COLLEEN LONG Share Not long before shots rang out, rally goers noticed a man climbing to the top of a roof of a nearby building and warned local law enforcement, according to two law enforcement officials.

One officer climbed to the roof and encountered Crooks, who pointed his rifle at the officer. The officer retreated down the ladder and Crooks quickly took a shot toward former President Donald Trump, and that’s when the U.S. Secret Service counter snipers shot him, said the officials who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.

Is this real? I hadn't heard that part yet

[–] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Tis. I provided sauce from AP News on reddit.

[–] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Glad to help. And yeah, remember that Lemmy has far fewer checks and balances on manipulation than reddit does. Providing sauce during current world events is just good etiquette.

Thanks for holding me accountable for being a good lemmy/fediverse netizen. 😊
