Wonder if this was one of those “second amendment people” Trump was hoping would stop Hilary.
Shit hit the fan big time.
Just reported 2 bystanders dead, shooter dead.
Well, this likely cements Trump's win. It also sidelines the media pressure on Biden to step down. Trump gets a huge bump; Biden hits an iceberg. We are fucked.
For the people saying that the shoes comment is odd, take moment to do some reading, or watch a video, about how people react to trauma.
Basically, it's not outrageous that his brain locked on a seemingly unimportant detail. Humans are very weird sometimes.
Wife repeated a line from the Butthole Surfer's song Pepper when she reads the news :D
It's very sad to see people condoning this. I'm far from a Trump supporter, but this is unacceptable. If this was Biden being shot at, you'd all be saying "typical right wing, gun-toting nutjobs."
Plus what you fail to understand is that Trump being shot at is just further securing his presidency, and anyone who was previously on the fence will now be more inclined to vote for the person who was "shot at for his beliefs."
