Trump ass assination attempt
Shooter and one other person dead, Trump seems to have been grazed by pieces of glass??
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Which ear got hit?
"In a field where an overlooked bug could cost millions, you want people who will speak their minds, even if they’re sometimes obnoxious about it."
Trump's odds of winning the election just went through the roof. Republican turnout will be insane.
The SS fucked up big time. Like, this is actual incompitance. The shooter was on a rooftop overlooking the podium, visible to rally attendees, per a video on the BBC.
They're supposed to secure all possible vantage points like this and have the entire area locked down with their own snipers and generally batten down the hatches for miles around, but I guess they just... missed this one.

I don't think a presidential candidate gets the same kind of protection in terms of manpower as a sitting president.
FBI has confirmed that the suspect wasn't Cain so no media scrutiny for this forum for now at least

He wasn't even the official nominee yet. His detail is presumably the standard for former presidents, which isn't high. I figured he recruited private security though and there's still the local law enforcement for public security. Still kinda surprising there wasn't better coverage over the immediate area.
Last night as I lay in bed, looking up at the stars, I thought, “Where the hell is my ceiling?"
Think they identified that location as an issue but afaict local police and others were responsible for securing it and weren't successful. Number of cockups contributing to this obv. Secret Service doesn't go all-in protecting former presidents the way they do sitting presidents but apparently Trump had more security as the Republican candidate.

The conspiracy theories on this are predictably getting out of control.
That said having such a close brush with death changes you. Curious how it will change him.
He'll become an even bigger narcissist.
Like that's possible.
Well, now he has theoretical grounds to declare/believe that God almighty intervened to protect him from certain death. I can't see this making him more humble.

I was wondering what Cain was up to
