Another attempt to kill Trump
« on: September 15, 2024, 04:04:18 PM »
Not much is known for certain right now, but the Secret Service fired at someone on or near a golf course where Trump was playing golf.

Trump assassination attempt #2....maybe
« Reply #1 on: September 15, 2024, 04:08:46 PM »
Reports are confusing and some conflict but reportedly Secret Service spotted a man near Trump's golf club in Palm Beach while Trump was playing golf and exchanged gunfire with the suspect. But then other reports say it was a dispute between two men and had nothing to do with Trump.
Reportedly a suspect is in custody and an AK-47 recovered

Dupes merged.

Maybe this is a false alarm, and maybe we'll be lucky if Trump makes it to November, because the far left has completely lost it with their "go back in time and stop Hitler" nonsense.

I already saw one lefty excuse that said "It's the South - there are gunshots all the time". I'm pretty sure people aren't doing target practice in their Palm Beach backyards like they might do in the Panhandle.

According to CNN AK-47 and a GoPro recovered at the scene. Apparelly the guy wanted to film this. Also reportedly, not CNN, he got within 200 yards of Trump.

Latest statement just a few minutes ago from the FBI is that they are investigating an apparent assasination attempt on President Trump.  They have the shooter in custody.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Saw a smartass comment on a news site that the FBI said they have no new information as they cannot comment on ongoing coverups.   :rofl:

Law enforcement found an AK-47 style rifle, GoPro and backpacks where suspect was positioned, sheriff says
From CNN's Maureen Chowdhury

Law enforcement officials found a weapon and other items left behind by the suspect where he was positioned in the bushes near the Trump International Golf Club in South Florida on Sunday.

“In the bushes, where this guy was, is an AK-47 style rifle with a scope; two backpacks, which were hung on the fence and had ceramic tile in them; and a GoPro. … So, those are being processed right now,” Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said.

"Ceramic tile". I guess now we have to guess whether he had hard armor or if he disassembled part of his kitchen counter. Morons.

Yes if not more.
Things are really going to nuts if Trump wins as I don't think the left will be able to contain themselves.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said at a news conference Sunday that a Secret Service agent was able to spot a rifle barrel with a scope sticking out of a fence at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach and that the agent “engaged” with the suspect.

The gunman was 300 to 500 yards away from former President Donald Trump, a Secret Service official said. The former president was one or two holes behind because the security detail moves ahead to make sure the area is cleared. The agent noticed the rifle barrel sticking out during the advance check, the official said.

I fully expect what the previous antifa riots were x100 if Trump wins. At least in the major cities. These people and their wild emotions have gotten completely out of control, because unlike 06JAN, none of them have faced any real punishment. They are completely emboldened into thinking they have free rein to do whatever they want with no consequences because they are "fighting the fascists and nazis". Even though THEY are the fascists and brownshirts.
