Shots Fired At President Trump's Butler PA Rally!

[TexPatriot]

If I could get a message through to Pres. Trump it would be
"I already had one beacon of hope president snuffed out in my lifetime by the deep state who pulled their Secret Service back.
Please don't be another one. Get your own Security Detail of people you can trust that don't answer to the enemy."

 

[Gunfighter14e2]

I think all involved in security should be charged with conspiracy to commit treason and murder of ex president and candidate. Just like globohomos do to everyone and through due process let them challenge these charges and prove that it was only gross negligence. They should also all be immediately arrested and held until final sentencing/aquittance like DOJ does to various persons not part of the exempt elite. Also journos and others hollering for elimination of Trump should be arrested and charged with inciting a murder. See how they do when tables get turned on their hides.

While I agree with all that my friend, I prefer the old days & ways,... Big trees near court houses have sent pointed messages for years.
Inciting murder, rope.
Planning & conspiracy, to murder, rope.

Lefties use violence like a volume knob from 0-10. Sometimes they go from 1-3, up to 5-6 with riots, etc.... the left knows, deep down, the Right has no knob we can turn up and down. It's either off, or at fucking 11. No in-between.

It wasn’t a bad wind call by that shooter. I like Erik prince, but he’s wrong on that. At 150 yards it would have been a pretty healthy wind to drift a 223 bullet that far. The kid rested his rifle on the ridge of the roof with no kind of sand bag or rear support and the target was moving around. A 2” miss left is actually not at all surprising

5 mph = over an inch at 150 yards. Add a 3 MOA capability (dude shooting freehand filled with adrenaline) and it's more than enough.

Haha...I went to post this on my Facebook page along with all my other FJB posts and instead got a

I apparently have been kicked off FB . The enemy is pulling their drawbridge up and locking it's gates.

 

[Doc68]

You can literally name any famous liberal and they all have poured copious amounts of gasoline on this tinderbox.

They have all called for violence, carried around bloodied heads of trump, calling for the white house to be blown up, take to the streets, get in their faces, and so on.

They are all 100% guilty and should be in jail for egging on an assassination attempt. Just like people are in jail for J6....

ASGH though. This will just embolden someone else to do this or worse again.

[frustrated]

The Secret Service is now blaming the local police. Like WTF?!

Of course they are. Low man on the totem pole always takes the blame when something goes wrong.

Does any of this seem too amateurish to be involving the alphabet gangs??


Or am I over thinking this??

That's just it. I am questioning the competence of LE and SS. They are not as prepared or good at their jobs as fictional shows would have you think they are. You watch Criminal Minds and what you get is Three Stooges.

I cannot comment or read comments on most facebooks posts I see. Started a few

You look at FB and you would think that July 13 did not exist. Nothing. Nada. Everytthing taken down. Everything covered. The blue hair dyke censor types are working 24 x 7 to utterly stamp out any idea that this happened..

And don't think people have not noticed.

The good news is that Elon Musk has gone all-in on supporting Trump. Not just financially. But with X/Twitter and with his finances. He has way more followers than any of the leftist asshats and one word from him trends instantly.

So... the social media this time is not loaded 100 percent against America. It's going to be an equal battle. And arguably, X/Twitter/Instagram is much stronger. FB is for old fudds like us. It's sooooo 2007. IMHO, this censorship is going to push more people off.

The good news is that the events of this weekend are going to galvanize so many folks... Christians who think Trump was blessed. People who just watched the left celebrate an assassination attempt. Biden's completely retarded blubbering, incoherent response and the media BS... that is so transparent.

When Reagan was shot, he went up 22 points in the polls overnight and almost never gave that up. His popularity soared and stuck with him throughout his presidency. Which is one of the reasons the Left worked so hard to destroy him. And is continuing to work to destroy Trump. It's not Trump. It's Trump's 'cut taxes and regulations/smaller govt.' platform that echoes Reagan. And both times, the plan created economic boom times. That is UTTERLY in the face of socialist Keynesian economics that says only Government Spending and Regulation can create a healthy economy. In short... capitalism must be stomped out and government must control the economy. That would be communism/socialism/facism in whatever form you want to call it.

So it will be interesting to see what the Convention and the July 13 bump do. And what happens when we see the DNC convention in a couple of weeks. Because I guarantee that is going to make Chicago 68 look like Romper Room. The batshit crazies are going to turn it into a circus and Biden is going to be a drooling empty suit in front of the entire DNC Hierarchy. Will he get a poll bump? Or is he going to swirl further down the toilet of self-immolation.

Remember.... it's all about politics...

Cheers,

Sirhr

 

[Ronws]

I had a thought... maybe in been covered and in a round-about way it has.

But lets say hypothetically that this 20 yo piece of shit was acting alone. How is it even remotely possible that he out-witted the enite SS teams? How is it that the supposed best protection teams in the world were out smarted by a 20 yo that got within 150 yards onto an elevated position?

What the hell are we paying for?

We are paying for Keystone Kops. Look at the one SS agent who could not figure out how to holster gun. And how is she going to cover Trump, who is over 6 feet tall?

Friggin' clown show.

Whether or not it was an inside job, idiocy abounds.

 

[armorpl8chikn]

hope Trump realises how close he came.

Interesting combo of words..........
Sounds....threatening, like something Obama would say.
Trump realizes "how close he came"
Maybe look at this pic another go.

Thats a man who is fed up with people threatening him. He was keenly aware THEY will try to kill him, long before he got his ear shot off.
He knows exactly how close they came...and he is pissed. Tts not ignorant grandstanding you see there. That's a man who has suffered everything teythrew at him so far, and he is letting them know THEY won't win.

Now....les talk about that post count of yours, shall we mate.....

As a kid that was alive when JFK was assassinated, I remember in the following days there was a report that some boss at a factory commented that he was glad JFK was shot.

The whole workforce of the factory walked off the job in disgust. Not all may have been Democrats that voted for JFK but all had a sense of humanity, even tough ironworkers, that is missing today.

 

[LRRPF52]

Totally agree, but T has been doing a ton of events which would require more SS than he has.

Tracking Biden and Trump on the Campaign Trail

President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump’s rematch is testing their ability to make the traditional appearances on the trail that voters have come to expect.

www.nytimes.com

Thanks for the in depth response, hate to say the weak link was local PD, but sounds like that and at least one mistake (intentional or not) by SS lead to this

They plus-up though for these events with State and Federal LEOs. Basic site security is bread and butter for LEOs, so local civilians should not have been the first ones to notice the would-be assassin.

Any explanation for why he was able to get through is going to be looked at with a healthy dose of skepticism, as it should. They’re also going to have to explain why he wasn’t moon-roofed before getting into position, and why the PPD didn’t pounce on Trump as soon as they got the call over the net for even a possible threat moving into position.

There are multiple failures here across the whole principle protection posture, security rings, response times, and the evac. To add insult to injury, seeing those fat or tiny chics with their pony tails flapping around like they didn’t know what they were doing was not a good look for SS. The fat chic with suspenders to hold up her slacks that couldn’t even re-holster is an embarrassment, to put it mildly. She looks like she never handled a pistol much before that, and that is not the standard for SS PPD. Getting on the PPD is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Most SS agents have nothing to do with PPDs or VIP Details. They chase fake $100 bills around, working out of regional Fed buildings in plainclothes, following-up with retailers where the bills popped-up, stuff like that. Why were scores of capable male agents passed over to allow these physically unfit agents onto the PPD?

You’re telling me these are the best? This is what stands between POTUS and a bullet?

They looked like they had never been under stress inoculation before. Either that, or they were really besides themselves that it didn’t go down.......as expected.

When I was in junior high, our history teacher assigned us this really cool project where we had to interview 5 people who were adults at the time JFK was assassinated and write down their experiences. Only 2 could be family members.

I interviewed our next-door neighbor, who was from Arkansas. He said kids were running up and down the hallways in school cheering, “That commie bastard is dead!". Remember the wanted signs that were posted in the newspaper and pinned up all over Dallas?

There were a lot of people that were happy when JFK was killed, many of them Democrats. The Nation did not all go into mourning.

 

[impactaddict]

From the footage I've seen, seems like it goes like this...

1. The assassin shot several rounds
2. CS team over Trumps left shoulder (pocketed brass guy) returned fire (while CS team over his right shoulder was ducking and getting back on scopes)
3. The final shot was from one of the two guys over his right shoulder (the guys ducking) - likely the kill shot.

It would be great is the someone would come out and give a press conference and give a clear timeline of events.

When J6 happened, it was covering my Instagram. Reels, new recommendations, people that I personally know, accounts I follow for different hobbies. It was everywhere.

I have not seen a SINGLE, solitary post about this attempted hit on Trump. Literally not a single one.

https://nypost.com/2024/07/14/us-news/secret-service-blames-local-police-says-it-was-tasked-with-securing-properties-surrounding-trumps-pa-rally/

This was normal decades ago when I was a local PD officer and former President would come to town . . .

No idea if it is still the case, but I see no reason why it would have changed.

 

[Malum Prohibitum]

Think about it this way, the secret service only has so many personnel. When they come into town and ask for help, they get local city PD, Sheriff's deputies, state patrol, local state fairgrounds officers for a situation like this, all kinds of personnel for free and off of their limited budget.

Local police chief and sheriff and so on are happy to help out.

Local PD even covers all the intersections on the route to and from, roadway clear.

The Secret Service cannot possibly cover a mile around the location. Local PD covers all of the area outside of the secure area. That is the way it used to be done, and I know that from firsthand experience participating in it. Again, that was a while ago, so I do not have experience lately, and it may have changed, but from the sound of that article it is done the same way today as it was back then.

the trump team has regularly requested more agents to augment the 5-foot nothing dei hires on his team, and has been rebuffed repeatedly.
mayorkas would rather spend billions on apps and programs to aid in the invasion across our border than lift a finger to protect trump.

 

[Malum Prohibitum]

Also, back then, there were no direct communications linking all of the different agencies together, so for example, the local officer who spots trouble is communicating only back to his dispatcher and other officers. There might be one guy in the entire PD who has one contact with the Secret Service.

Again, I do not know how this has changed (and I hope at least the communications/organization part has, but it sounds like it has not)

 

[Malum Prohibitum]

The secure area controlled by the Secret Service is necessarily small because it has to have controlled access with searches for weapons for all who enter.

I get it, but former presidents don't get what current presidents and nominees get. Trump will get more after the convention when he is the nominee.

 

[Malum Prohibitum]

Local LEO covering roof tops from the ground.

Not the smartest tactic, especially with that nice water tower right next to the assassin's perch, but, yeah, I think you summed it up.

 

[Malum Prohibitum]

Is anybody seeing the "I hate Republicans; I hate Trump" video Crooks recorded being played on the news? Are they mentioning it? I would not even know about it if not for this thread.

Anybody?

 

[BCP]

It makes perfect sense that the local police departments cover the outer buildings. Supposedly a cop found a ladder against the building, climbed up and saw the shooter. Then ran away.

Butler PA is a smaller town they probably had 1-2 guys hanging around that building/parking lot thinking nothing would happen.

 

[Rocketvapor]

Just what better results would 6'2" USSS agents with sleeve tats close to trump have gotten?

Local and state LEO count for the event might help.

 

[DocUSMCRetired]

It was a guy, with the hat it was not clear, but definitely a guy.

Its a woman. Shes the first female Counter Sniper in USSS history. I will not be sharing her information, but I can 100% confirm this.

that almost makes sense as counter sniper would be a job a female could do 100% as good as any male I'd think.

Too much of a coincidence there just happened to be a ladder waiting there for him .

Not likely to happen. There's no advantage for the USSS to publicly disclose their TTPs, SOPs, etc. Signs already point to this faggot having help/inside knowledge. Fact of the matter is there's blood in the water, and there's a lot of evil fucks on facebook, reddit, etc encouraging copycats. Unfortunately I think it's a matter of when and not if, but hopefully when the next commie faggot tries something, we shoot first.

I know Trump can afford to beef up his PSD, but I'm surprised there aren't companies offering their services pro bono after watching the shit show on Saturday.

 

[BoilerUP]

Perhaps it has been mentioned in this thread...

Anybody seen confirmation if the shooter's rifle had any kind of optic? The TMZ screencap of him prone on the roof prior to the first shots makes it appear he's using irons.

Can't help but think any typical Pennsylvania bolt-action deer rifle with 3-9x Simmons scope would have led to a much different outcome.

 

[DocUSMCRetired]

We’re just all keyboard warriors here. There isn’t a single cop or vet on here with any expertise. Definitely not any private contractors that carry guns out of country.

Nope. Just basement kids here pal.

Dammit! how dare you out me like that. I feel attacked, offended.... back to my cold basement I go.

 

[Mike Casselton]

Second bullet??
View attachment 8458991

More likely to be a drop of blood.

 

[Rocketvapor]

I know this is MONDAY MORNING quarterbacking, but imagine heading to the area outside the venue, observing USSS placement, Google maps and pick a location.
Who here could NOT have found a kill spot?

And

Not hit people in the 2nd and 3 row behind the target.

Short USSS agents with vests protected center of mass.
Sure, there could have been 7 shooters covering the path to the escape vehicle.
We saw a lot of potential head shots, but didn't happen, but could have.

there may well be, I'd be surprised if a certain someone we've all heard of hadn't at least reached out to Mr Trump as he's been so vocal on Twitter.
but why broadcast security improvements? I just hope to God they're made hard and fast.

It was a palmetto-ish AR15 with a cheap scope. The little creep was on target but Trump moved at just the right time.
