Didn't sound like a real gun. Seems suss to me.

Guns don’t sound like you think though, do they? Someone got shot on a road where I used to live and it sounded like a firecracker.

BruceWillissDribble · 14/07/2024 01:22

There are some truly disgusting comments on this thread. Anyone calling fake or saying he deserved worse should have a word with themselves.

tennesseewhiskey1 · 14/07/2024 01:22

Ffs some people on this thread. He’s an arse sure - but to be shot dead for it? Don’t be so stupid.

He's won the election now.

Yep. He probably hired the shooter

We can't condone people shooting politicians they disagree with, for goodness sake.

It's a democracy. People vote & debate. Not shoot each other.

I find it so alarming that people simultaneously call Trump fascist/ dictator while wanting to literally have him shot for his political opinions...

Completely agree.
Trump stands for everything I don't, but that doesn't condone shooting at him.
No doubt Jo Cox's killer felt justified too 😥💔

Everyone thinks their opinion is more than politics. Pro-lifers think there's a literal genocide & pro choice politicians are actively responsible for murdering babies. Still doesn't make it ok for them to agree with violence against these politicians.

Equally, it's not OK that you think it's fine to be glad a pro-life/ misogynistic politician is shot.

The first line in democracy has to be "I detest what you say but defend your right to say it". That's the only way we will make progress. Allow all views, without threat of violence.

You don't have to be sad on a personal level for Trump. You should be sad on a societal level.

DemocracyR · 14/07/2024 01:31

There is a civilian dead. This should be a sobering moment for people, not a time to claim conspiracy and gloat.

There is no place in democracy for violence, regardless on your feelings for the candidate.

He literally admitted that he sexually assaults women. On tape. He was found liable for sexually abusing a woman in court. The man is a rapist. A rapist whose team actively wants women to be reverted back to silent sex objects who must obey their master.

And what he's done is so much more than 'saying things'. We do not defend the right to rape.

So, no. You don't get to tell me being relieved or even glad if he had died is 'not ok'.

Patronizing nonsense.

should have done something about gun control when in office

Twototwo15 · 14/07/2024 01:32

As for the the Donald Duck comment being so hilarious to people…obviously doesn’t take a lot to amuse some people. It’s not like the title was ambiguous about which Donald, and even if it was, how would it be considered thaf funny?

Where was Melanie when the shots were fired?

I imagine her in a head scarf and dark glasses coolly making her way out of the stadium with smoke curling from her handbag; Her heart set on target practice before the next opportunity.

If someone shot his ear then someone behind him would have been seriously injured or killed by the bullet
What a load of shite.

Well an audience member has died. Happy now? How stupid to say this before you know the full outcome.

Would you say that to a rapist's victim?

It's not ok but you can't police people's feelings either.

You can call for calm

The person who should be sad is Donald Trump, but I doubt he will be.

I don't understand the shooter's motive?? You would think a right wing gun totter would go for Biden... So someone who wants Biden to win??

I am disgusted at some people on this thread. People are dead but hey, let’s just turn it into a joke. How rotten your brains must be.
