Yeah. Now it seems like about 150 yds. So not an insanely difficult shot

I was thinking a few hundred yards, which would have been a tough shot. I've watched a lot of movies... So I have that going for me and my knowledge of long range snipers. Lol

State police saying Trump was hit by glass from teleprompter that was shot.
HokieGator • 07/13/24 08:35 PM ET
To close this- the teleprompters not hit as seen post shooting**
Concord Dan • 07/14/24 07:00 PM ET
Eh...what's the alleged distance?

Yes and meanwhile, the media's record is spotless.**

It's possible. That said,
HokieGator • 07/13/24 09:05 PM ET
And CBS was quick to point out that contradicted reports they received.**

HokieHam • 07/13/24 10:01 PM ET
150 yards away……how is that allowed to happen?

Hard to see how this isn't major foxtrot uniform**
ColoVT82 • 07/13/24 09:49 PM ET
That’s my initial reaction: major screw up by the Secret Service here
Zanderhokie • 07/13/24 09:45 PM ET
If they could see to take down, should have seen beforehand
TomTurkey • 07/13/24 09:35 PM ET
Heads need to roll. Head of detail and head of USSS is a good start.**
ColoVT82 • 07/14/24 08:07 AM ET
It appears the shooter on the roof was pointed out to the SS
RJHokie • 07/13/24 09:41 PM ET
There is no excuse for that roof to be not covered by SS.
Atlee Hokie • 07/13/24 10:53 PM ET
Even worse is the snipers should’ve seen that
Brewing_Hokie • 07/13/24 10:37 PM ET
I agree. The incompetence is off the charts.**
WestEndHokie39 • 07/13/24 10:56 PM ET
Agree.
RJHokie • 07/13/24 10:48 PM ET
Tbh at the distance almost anyone could’ve made those shots but the ability
Brewing_Hokie • 07/13/24 10:56 PM ET
People were trying to get the attention of Agents ...
Atlee Hokie • 07/13/24 11:11 PM ET
Yup. Pathetic and catastrophic failure. **
Brewing_Hokie • 07/13/24 11:17 PM ET
I think the spectators said they pointed it out to the PA state police
Zanderhokie • 07/13/24 09:47 PM ET
Here’s the link**
RJHokie • 07/13/24 09:48 PM ET
CBS interviewed that spectator.**
MP4VT2004 • 07/13/24 09:45 PM ET
Yep. See link.**

That's not the guy I saw CBS interview...

TomTurkey • 07/13/24 09:38 PM ET
Don't bet on it. Remember the FBI's order for the raid of Trump's FL...
EDGEMAN • 07/13/24 09:17 PM ET
This is a perfect example of facts and such being distorted. Your post
AbsolutVT03 • 07/13/24 11:05 PM ET
When you are raiding a former president's residence, you DO NOT USE...
EDGEMAN • 07/14/24 07:34 AM ET
So your argument is that Trump was treated the same as literally anyone
AbsolutVT03 • 07/14/24 11:34 AM ET
The fact you condone that criminal action speaks volumes.**
EDGEMAN • 07/14/24 04:52 PM ET
You are delusional. I’m not “condoning” any criminal action. I’m refuting
AbsolutVT03 • 07/14/24 05:18 PM ET
Garland sent a FBI SWAT team and armed them with a "lethal force allowed"

You are just going in circles at this point and not really making any sort
AbsolutVT03 • 07/14/24 05:55 PM ET

Russian Collusion, Hunter’s laptop was classic Russian Disinformation.
Hoakie82 • 07/14/24 01:04 AM ET
This is an example of whatsboutism and deflection. Nothing you posted is
AbsolutVT03 • 07/14/24 06:05 AM ET
No it’s a perfect example of true things the right points out or claims
Hoakie82 • 07/14/24 10:43 PM ET
First off quite a few of the things you posted are not truths but rather
AbsolutVT03 • 07/14/24 11:17 PM ET
I happen to believe what I said, are truths & don’t care what you believe
Hoakie82 • 07/15/24 12:11 AM ET
And therein lies the problem. Truths aren’t “what you believe” them to be.
AbsolutVT03 • 07/15/24 12:30 AM ET
You think you’re the arbiter of facts or truths & you aren’t. You’re just

Someone suffered a "head shot" and was killed.**
EDGEMAN • 07/13/24 08:44 PM ET
My complete guess speculation is that person took the bullet that was meant
HokieAl • 07/13/24 09:06 PM ET
I suspect the fatal shot hit Trump's ear and then hit the victim.**
Atlee Hokie • 07/13/24 10:01 PM ET
If 9 shots total, any one could have hit the supporter**
TomTurkey • 07/13/24 10:10 PM ET
You are correct. I was thinking only 1 shot had been fired when I posted.**
Atlee Hokie • 07/13/24 10:36 PM ET
There's still some vagueness. One reported guy shot was to Trump's right.
TomTurkey • 07/13/24 10:56 PM ET
There will be conspiracies flying on all sides of the aisle on this one.
