Trump’s campaign rallies have frequently witnessed violence or the threat of it, though not in the past directed at the candidate. Protesters demonstrating against Trump have been assaulted, and Trump himself has encouraged attacks against them. The most serious incident of political violence in recent American history occurred on January 6, 2021, following a Trump rally in Washington, D.C., when a crowd incited by Trump attacked and sacked the U.S. Capitol, bloodying police officers and disrupting Congress. Some protesters erected a gallows, carried zip ties, and said they were hunting for then–Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Mike Pence. My colleague Adrienne LaFrance reported on the trend in April 2023. “In recent years, Americans have contemplated a worst-case scenario, in which the country’s extreme and widening divisions lead to a second Civil War,” she noted. “But what the country is experiencing now—and will likely continue to experience for a generation or more—is something different. The form of extremism we face is a new phase of domestic terror, one characterized by radicalized individuals with shape-shifting ideologies willing to kill their political enemies. Unchecked, it promises an era of slow-motion anarchy.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/07/trump-rally-pennsylvania-political-violence/679000/

WaPo reporting that Butler County DA says 2 people dead including the shooter. This could be the first shooting that "Republicans" care about. That said, the whole thing is very fishy. Regardless, this is not a good direction in which our country is headed. Sadly, it's entirely expected. And, Trump is the biggest, most vociferous reason for it in recent years. It doesn't justify taking a shot at him (literally). But, it's not surprising.

The FBI has identified Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pa., as the suspected shooter at former president Donald Trump’s rally, in what the agency is calling an assassination attempt. The shooter was killed. Crooks is a registered Republican, according to the state’s voter status records. FBI names 20-year-old Pennsylvania man as suspected Trump rally shooter www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/13/2024-election-campaign-updates-biden-trump-rally/One witness has told the BBC's Gary O'Donoghue that he saw a man crawl onto a roof with a rifle, approximately "five to seven minutes" into Trump's remarks. "We noticed a guy crawling... up the roof of the building beside us, 50 ft away from us," he said. "We're pointing at the guy crawling up the roof," he said, describing how he and his friends tried to alert law enforcement to the man's presence. The witness who said he saw a guy crawling on a nearby building with a rifle said the SS didn't react quickly enough, and then the shots rang out.

Imagine if some idiot said it was time to put “Trump in a Bullseye” only 5 days before this happened.
