Shots Fired At Trump Rally

I watched footage from Australian news who were covering the shooting. I cannot remember if it was Sky News or the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.They showed footage of a secret service sniper stationed on the roof of a building adjacent to the podium. As Trump began to speak, this secret service sniper was watching carefully in the general direction that the bad guy fired from. But the second the first shots began, he immediately sighted the bad guy, aimed and began firing at him, even before Trump grabbed his ear and dropped to the ground. I'm guessing that of the eight shots fired in total, the bad guy only got off maybe four before being shot by the security sniper.
A question I have is why did the Secret Service take so long to take down the shooter?
That shooter must have been on that roof for enough time to position himself and take aim at his target.
Why did Secret Service wait until after the shooter began shooting to take him out? If they saw the shooter had a rifle on him, standing on the roof across from where Trump was speaking, Secret Service being at close proximity to the shooter should have taken action as soon as that sniper was seen.
This was not a typical shooting but an obvious assassination attempt on a former President and it's the Secret Service job to prevent harm against the ones they are protecting.
 

Secret Service Director Who Previously Worked at Pepsi Faces Calls to Resign After Attempted Assassination of Trump​


Cheatle, who previously worked as the senior director in Global Security for PepsiCo, has been the current director of the U.S. Secret Service since September 2022, according to the agency’s website. While working at PepsiCo, Cheatle reportedly was “responsible for directing and implementing security protocols for the company’s facilities in North America.”

A witness told BBC News that he had seen a man with a rifle “bear-crawling” on top of the roof of a building close to the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“I’m thinking to myself ‘Why is Trump still speaking, why have they not pulled him off the stage’… the next thing you know, five shots ring out,” the man told the outlet.

Minutes after taking the stage at the rally, gunshots rang out and Secret Service agents could be seen crowding around Trump, who was later seen with blood on his ear and the side of his face.

After being ushered away by the Secret Service, the former president later revealed that he had been “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part” of his right ear.
Several people have pointed out the security failings for a sniper to have come that close to being able to shoot Trump, and have criticized Cheatle.

He should be fired, not given a chance to resign. Had the intended target been ice cream brain, he would have been fired.
 
Father, I petition you in accordance to your will to bring about good out of the evil of this assassination attempt. I ask the Lord Jesus Christ to rebuke Satan and his minions of darkness.

I believe that your hand is upon him, Father, may you continue to shield him from the desire of Satan and some in government. President Trump has made himself a target, may no arrow (or other projectile) find it’s mark.

Comfort the love ones and friends of the spectator who was killed, make yourself known and real Lord Jesus. Amen

It's deeply troubling that the SS may be so compromised that they are not honestly protecting Pres. Trump. :hug:

There will be investigations, and I think we need to pray that they will truly be independent.

I keep telling myself to stop pulling loose threads of clues together because it's only going to frustrate me further. There's a lot of buzz on X with folks taking sides on the SS, and I follow a former FBI guy, whistle blower, who was praising the speed of the SS sniper -- weird. He went into detail about the timing of the shots and how the sound each made could help determine what gun it was & who was shooting. Well, that's waaayyy out of my knowledge so I realized I don't know enough technicalities to speculate.

God will reveal what we need to know, and maybe this suspicion is a good thing to stir me up and pray for real protection.
 
How many 20 year olds really follow politics?

IMO, simply a deranged man, wanting mass attention through violence.
One thing we need to consider about young adults and politics. It's well known that the schools have been indoctrinating students for some time to lean to the left and Marxism. Students are being taught in the schools that conservatism is bad, and to hate America blaming "colonialism for America being racist. The teachings in the schools have groomed the students to have political bias without stating politics in the indoctrinating.
I've seen this in my granddaughter. She was raised in the church and when she went to college she became a different person in her beliefs because of what was taught in college.
Our young people have had their minds poisoned with hate for what is good.
Not saying Trump is good, but what he represents, his Make America Great Again, and standing by The Constitution, that alone makes him a target of hate for those who aspire to change what America has stood for since it's founding

The plan to kill Trump explained & how it got screwed up:

April 20th: Democrats introduce a bill to strip convicted felons who are sentenced to prison of their secret service detail - Fox News

May 30th: Trump convicted of felony on all 34 counts - AP News

May 31st: Trump to be sentenced (possibly to prison) 4 days before RNC on Thursday, July 11th - CNN

[Assassination planned for July 13th in Pennsylvania]

July 2nd: Judge is forced to delay Trump’s sentencing until Sept 18th in light of Supreme Court ruling (surprise win for Trump) - AP News

July 13th: attempted assassination of Donald Trump with clear lapse in security perimeter

Ronnie this video that you found says it all. Short and concise, Satan as its author, he says, “I Hate”.

The Left has aligned with Satan, they are consumed by hatred. They have preached hatred from the day Trump was first elected. This hatred was spewed forth from those in powerful places in American politics and proliferated by the mainstream media.

Those in power use the weak as their pawns to do what they want to do to take the focus off from those behind the scenes pulling the strings to destroy their enemies. I agree that Satan is the influencer of doing evil
 
Tweet from Colin Rugg

JUST IN: The man who was k*lled at Trump's Pennsylvania rally has been identified as former fire chief for Buffalo Township, Corey Comperatore.

Rest in peace.

Comperatore's last act on this planet was shielding his daughter from the bullets.

"The PA Trump Rally claimed the life of my brother, Corey Comperatore. The hatred for one man took the life of the one man we loved the most."

"He was a hero that shielded his daughters. His wife and girls just lived through the unthinkable and unimaginable," his sister said on FB.

"My baby brother just turned 50 and had so much life left to experience. Hatred has no limits and love has no bounds. Pray for my sister-in-law, nieces, my mother, sister, me and his nieces and nephews as this feels like a terrible nightmare but we know it is our painful reality."
 
Unbelievable.
Social media is already saying that Trump being shot "in the head" is the Antichrist getting "mortal wound and coming back to life,"
Good Grief! :doh:

To all the prophecy enthusiasts:
A scratch in the ear isn’t a fatal head wound.
Donald Trump isn’t the antichrist.

 
Thomas Matthew Crooks, suspected shooter at Trump rally, reportedly had explosives in his car and residence
ABC News, citing multiple law enforcement sources, reported that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives conducted an urgent trace and found the suspect's father legally purchased the gun recovered at the scene.

The Secret Service and FBI are speaking with the suspect's family, the FBI has secured his home, and federal law enforcement is searching it, CBS News said, citing a law enforcement official. CNN, citing multiple law enforcement sources, reported that the suspect had explosive material inside his car and residence.

"We do not currently have an identified motive," Kevin Rojek, FBI Pittsburgh special agent in charge, said at a briefing late Saturday night, according to CBS News.

The FBI's statement on Crooks also said "this remains an active and ongoing investigation, and anyone with information that may assist with the investigation is encouraged to submit photos or videos online at FBI.gov/butler or call 1-800-CALL-FBI."
