The failed assassination represents a security failure by United States Secret Service that is so astounding, it will rightfully inspire conspiracy theories for years to come. Kevin Rojek, who heads the Pittsburg field office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, acknowledged that it was “surprising” that Crooks was able to take so many shots unchallenged. And I can think of no reason why Trump’s detail should’ve drawn their security perimeter to exclude a prominent, elevated firing position a mere 130 metres away from Trump’s podium. Finally, there is the fact that Crooks and his rifle were visible to spectators for minutes before he opened fire; multiple rally attendees tried to alert police, fruitlessly. There is even a screen grab of drone footage circulating on social media, showing Crooks climbing onto the building.

Initial media reports included many ridiculous headlines – the worst of them this utter failure by CNN:
But there were others, which reported only on “loud noises,” despite the fact that all journalists had access to footage of unmistakable gunfire and Trump with blood on his face:
... Maybe the emptyheaded Vinograds of the media should direct a few more of their admittedly scarce IQ points not to the tensions arising from this incident, but to the tensions that led up to it. It was not just Joe Biden who was caught telling supporters that it is “Time to put Trump in a bullseye” a few days ago. Insane rhetoric has attended Trump since the very beginnings of his presidential candidacy in 2015, with legions of purportedly respectable politicians and journalists claiming that he is an agent of foreign powers and an enemy to American democracy. There are hundreds if not thousands of articles and political pleas asking “Why aren’t we talking about Trump’s fascism?”, declaring that “Fascism is everywhere on the march, and it’s Trump who sets the pace”, announcing that “Donald ‘Dictator on Day One’ Trump is an existential threat to our democracy”, shouting that “A second Trump presidency is an existential national security threat”, and proclaiming that “A Second Trump Term Will Bring an End to the American Century” and that “Donald Trump ‘will destroy’ U.S. democracy if he wins 2nd term as president.” All of these inflammatory and unfounded claims hail precisely from those corners of the discourse that also eagerly blame every last tepid misdeed against their own political tribe on nebulous “extreme right-wing” forces.
Assassination Attempt on President Trump: A Direct Consequence of Media's Hate Campaign ...
This blatant assassination attempt in broad daylight reeks of radical Leftist or deep state involvement, a direct result of the baseless hate campaign against Trump for the past eight years. Since 2016, the radical, leftist, anti-American, Trump-hating mainstream media has relentlessly spewed venom and vitriol and incited violence against Trump, culminating in this assassination attempt.
It's possible for apoliticals and the few non-batshit Democrats to come out for Trump now without fearing their entire lives will be obliterated.
Possibly. But we will likely see the FBI "thwart" a right wing attack on a high level Dem using the same setup play as the Whitmire kidnapping plot.
Corey Comperatore, 50, killed at Trump's rally when POTUS Trump was shot, was a devoted father who served as a volunteer firefighter and loved to fish; we must not forget him! ...
Corey Comperatore, 50, was at the Trump rally on Saturday with his family, according to a longtime friend. When shots rang out, he threw himself over his family members — and was fatally shot.
Mr. Comperatore’s sister, Dawn Comperatore Schafer, confirmed his identity in a phone interview on Sunday. “We watched him die on the news,” she said, through tears. “That’s how we found out.”
Mr. Comperatore, of Sarver, Pa., had two daughters — Allyson, 27, and Kaylee, 24 — and was “definitely a family man,” according to a longtime friend, Jeff Lowers, 63. He and Mr. Lowers were volunteer firefighters, and Mr. Lowers said that Mr. Comperatore’s quick instincts appeared to come into play during the shooting. Mr. Lowers said he learned about that account from Mr. Comperatore’s wife, Helen.
“Being a volunteer fireman, no matter what you’re doing, when the whistle goes off and the monitor goes off, you go and do what you need to do,” Mr. Lowers said. “We never considered ourselves a hero. But yesterday, he definitely was.”
At the rally, Dr. James Sweetland, an emergency room physician who was at the event, rushed to help Mr. Comperatore after he was shot. He said that Mr. Comperatore was lying in a pool of blood, and two people helped lift him onto a bench so he could give CPR. Someone else put pressure on Mr. Comperatore’s wound above his ear. But Dr. Sweetland said there was no pulse. Two Pennsylvania State troopers helped lift Mr. Comperatore onto a stretcher.
Two other adult men were wounded at the rally and were being treated Sunday at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh. The Pennsylvania State Police identified the wounded men as David Dutch, 57, of New Kensington, Pa., and James Copenhaver, 74, of Moon Township, Pa. After being admitted in critical condition, both were stable on Sunday, the police said in a statement.
They were in critical condition, according to Bill Toland, the hospital’s spokesman.
Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, a Democrat, said on Sunday that Mr. Comperatore had “died a hero.”
