Just for S & G's, I've been perusing YT clips of how the Hip Hop Community is viewing DJT after the assassination attempt. 

You'd be surprised....  among many, he's now considered full Gangsta, and a hero.

Secret Service faces serious questions about security footprint and rooftop access at Trump event

CNN By Whitney Wild, Evan Perez and Tierney Sneed 7/15/2024

 In the wake of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, there are widespread concerns and questions about how a sniper was able to obtain rooftop access roughly 150 meters from the former president’s position at the podium at an outdoor rally.

Sources have described the shooting as coming from the “three o’clock” position of Trump’s podium location, with shots coming from his right side. Seconds after gunfire rang out, Secret Service counter-assault snipers began shooting the suspect who was found on top of a roof.

Notably, the shooter’s location was outside the security perimeter, raising questions about both the size of the perimeter and efforts to sweep and secure the American Glass Research building, and how the shooter was able to obtain rooftop access.

The rationale for mine on this thread is that it is a new thread. I had nothing to add at that moment but I wanted to drop a “pin” so I didn’t miss any commentary or new info. Simple.

This is bogus. You think a professionally-trained sniper is going to go to Fortran and post something like this? It makes conservatives look bad when this kind of misinformation is out there. We ought to be better than that.

Whatever happened here (I suspect it was more DEI incompetence than intent), we will try to get to the bottom of it. This is not at all helpful.

Secret Service will participate in independent review of Trump assassination attempt, director says
by Sarah Fortinsky - 07/15/24 8:41 AM ET

The U.S. Secret Service plans to “participate fully” in an independent review of the assassination attempt against former President Trump, Director Kimberly Cheatle said in a statement Monday.

Cheatle said the agency would also work with Congress “on any oversight action” committees plan to take.

“The Secret Service is working with all involved Federal, state and local agencies to understand what happened, how it happened, and how we can prevent an incident like this from ever taking place again,” Cheatle said.

“We understand the importance of the independent review announced by President Biden yesterday and will participate fully. We will also work with the appropriate Congressional committees on any oversight action,” she added.

The statement comes amid mounting questions over how a gunman was able to get close enough to the former president to injure him with an AR-style rifle at Trhump’s Saturday rally – when a bullet grazed Trump’s ear and he was promptly rushed off stage by Secret Service agents.

Attendees knew he was on the roof.
Police knew he was on the roof.
Secret Service knew he was on the roof.
They knew he had a rifle.
And they waited for him to shoot. They didn’t even bother to remove Trump from the stage.

I've been watching and reading everything I could find about this incident for more than 48 hours now and think I have some idea about what took place. If what I think took place is true, you'll see it only here so pay attention.

The people responsible for this set the young man up to be the patsy (hat tip @jafo2010 ) used him to make sure he drew all the attention while the actual pro was on the roof of the building just behind the one the kid was on wearing attire (rifle and all) that blended with the building. When the kid opened up, the pro took one shot (the one that nearly did the job). When the counter snipers opened up on he kid, the pro slid down from his perch, got in his car, and calmly drove away.

Call me anything you want but that's what I think and it fits the MO.

Salena Zito post-shooting interview with Pres. Trump:  Trump rewrites Republican convention speech to focus on unity ,not Biden, Washington Examiner.
Quote
... “The speech I was going to give on Thursday was going to be a humdinger,” he said, “Had this not happened, this would’ve been one of the most incredible speeches” aimed mostly at the policies of President Joe Biden. “Honestly, it’s going to be a whole different speech now.”  ...

“This is a chance to bring the whole country, even the whole world, together. The speech will be a lot different, a lot different than it would’ve been two days ago,” he said.

The Washington Examiner’s interview with Trump had been due to take place on his airplane on the return flight from the rally to Bedminster. That arrangement put this reporter just feet from Trump when he was shot.  ...

Trump said when he stood up and saw the crowd had not moved, he needed to tell them that he and the country were going to be OK. “The energy coming from the people there in that moment, they just stood there; it’s hard to describe what that felt like, but I knew the world was looking. I knew that history would judge this, and I knew I had to let them know we are OK.” ...

Biden hand-picked Kimberly Cheatle.  As with every pick joe has made, the job goes to the person most unqualified.
