'Trump rushed from White House correspondents' dinner after suspected gunshots heard'

[mumofoneAloneandwell]

Surely he's not pulling this trick again?

My post was in response to @ruethewhirlpost.

For a far more comprehensive list I suggest that you look at @LesbianNanaexcellent post below which gives more recent examples.

I'm sorry I really do believe this

Insanity

Ok can you say why an anti-Trump Harris supporting 31 year old teacher would want to ruin their life in prison for Trump?

He’ll probably come out later to say that was his show piece. There are some serious internet detectives commenting frame by frame, absolutely bizarre behaviour from a lot of guests, one sat finishing his meal, others made selfie videos, and of course, the ballroom was mentioned in his pre written speech 30 minutes after the attack.
There is better security at a holiday camp
Thankfully nobody was killed this time, unlike the miraculous ear shot assassin, or Tyler Robinson, who is being shafted. The land of the liar.

Tomas Cook climbed onto a building in sight or security, Tyler Robinson “allegedly” climbed a building for Charlie Kirk too, why would these men do this? What’s on offer? The Tyler Robinson case will be interesting if he ever makes it to court before an untimely death.
imo neither Tyler or Tomas shot the killer bullet at these sad events.

I think it’s more likely the current one was radicalised by online violence, look at the posts on here even saying do it.

It’s really not surprising in this current environment people get hooked on that rhetoric and try

I wonder - and this is quite tin foil hat, I accept - whether he has a cohort of vulnerable men, who think theyre doing their 'patriotic duty' to Trump by taking the rap for these non events?

He wrote a manifesto on his views, he wasn’t in favour of Trump

The same reason that men blow themselves up on planes & trains. They are mentally ill & they have been groomed. They expect to die.

how do you know he is anti Trump? Other than that’s what Trumps admin have said.

i also wonder about the deaths of Epstein & Charlie Kirk.

Have to say, been checked twice by Mumsnet that I am not a bot? Never happened before.

His "manifesto" has been released.

I do believe it to be a genuine attempt on Trump's life, I'm just not very concerned by it. Not my circus.

There’s a manifesto and clips of his views including this

In the short 2017 clip, the suspect appears as an earnest student showcasing his prototype for a wheelchair emergency break during a technology event aimed at improving the lives of pensioners.

If you want someone who is doing it for Trump he’s pretty much the worst person you can go for to build that case. Ie a socially minded Harris supporting teacher.

Apparently during the elections Steve Bannon had a strategy he called flooding the zone with shit. The idea being that it will be so hard to stay on top of the endless nonsense, they can do whatever they want as no one can distinguish real, important events from the endless bullshit words and staged events.

What amazes me is that for a country that worships the gun above all else, no one seems to be very good shot 😂

Sadly plenty do, especially in schools. But not it seems in contrived and staged attempts at shooting the President.

Yeah agree

I'm not buying what the Trump administration is selling, sorry.

This is interesting

I have no patience left for Trump supporters.

I don't own one, but I've attended a firing range to learn how to use a gun since the start of Trump's second term. Not because I would ever plan to use a gun in an offensive manner, but because I live close to the US border and the "51st state" talk from Trump felt extremely ominous for a time.

Although it does feel that the threat of an attempted annexation is no longer so immediate, there's good reason why Canadians view the US - under Trump, specifically - as the biggest threat we face as a country and as a democracy.

Were we seeing widespread political violence in Canada (or in the UK, where I'm originally from) I would be gravely concerned, regardless of how I felt about the views of the politican at which it was aimed. I can fully appreciate Americans feeling that same way, here.

But when the continued existence of a democracy is threatened by an external force, that's fundamentally different, and informs my reaction. We should respect the exiatence of all manner of opinions within a democracy, but not the views of an external actor that would end it.

Trying to frame it in left vs right terms, when analyzing the response from folks outside of the US, profoundly misses the point - and actually smacks of radicalization in itself.

100% correct...it is their modus operandi.

No, he wasn’t radicalised, he was set up. None of it makes sense. His grandfather is supporting him and brought him to the station to avoid Tyler being shot on the doorstep.
The prosecution is withholding information against the defence, he’s a pasty.

Who are you talking about? I mean the 31 year old teacher arrested just now - Cole Allen, a 31-year-old teacher from California

The one shot dead at Mar-a-Lago was a Trump supporter who was disillusioned over the Epstein Files

I see do you think he’s not a teacher and CNN or other couldn’t find out pretty quickly?

Ok I guess it’s at the point with conspiracies where there’s nothing that can be said.
