    He put his hand up to his ear before he went down and you can see blood on his face when Secret Service took him away. Whoever it was missed him by that much.

      Don’t jump to conclusions. Unfortunately, it’s often times worse than it seems.

      And yet, nobody in the crowd behind him was hit? That’s… really hard to believe.

        There was blood in the crowd supposedly. Maybe a ricocheted bullet but it’ll be a while until we have reliable info

        Edit: 2 dead so far

          Oh, we’ll never have reliable info. The right-wing noise machine are already spinning up their conspiracies.

            …The article was posted on NBC at 6:27, then posted here at 6:28. LESS than 30 minutes later 6:57 you declare, “we’ll never have reliable info”.

            maybe don’t listen to the “noise machine”.

        I commented this earlier but I would not be surprised if the people behind him are deceptively far away and only look close at this camera angle.
