Looks like someone took some shots at prez candidate Donald Trump at a rally in PA. From the videos I’ve seen, it looks like he did get grazed.

    The shooter and an audience member are dead. How Machiavellian do you think these people are that they’d kill two people for a PR stunt?

      Yeah I too thought it was staged until bodies showed up. Anyone continuing to say this was staged at this point feels very Alex Jones.

        I don’t think it was staged, but I also don’t think they would give a shit if other people died during a staged shooting.

          I agree, but I don’t think Donny is brave enough to allow lethal ammo to stage anything.

      Honestly: do you think they have regard for people’s lives? Not that I think this is staged.

        They’d surely have regard for Trump’s life, no? I mean “they” shot him in the ear. An inch closer and he’d likely be dead.

      What? Are you fucking delusional? I understand brown people are not really people for you guys there, but do you realize how many people indirectly and directly “these” people have killed in Syria alone, counting only cases of being simply too lazy?

      Killing two people for fucking presidency? You think it’s unrealistic?

      Anyway, the answer to the question “how Machiavellian” is “fully” for everybody participating in politics, because we are still homo sapiens and our time is just as Machiavellian as Machiavelli’s time, there are no naive people there, and if there are no poisonings and assassinations left and right there, that’s for the same reason only there are no nukings left and right on the map, not because they are moral.

        I understand brown people are not really people for you guys

        What the fuck… ?

        How am I delusional for not thinking this was staged? The moving parts required for it to be staged are an order of magnitude more complex and voluminous than it just being a lone nut with an AR-15. Unless you have some actual solid verifiable evidence that calls the boring reality of the situation into question, I’d maybe dial down the rhetoric a tad.
