Who Shot dJRt

why are you posting this? what does it have to do with the shooting?

If there are many terrible failings of the SS at such a high profile event, by some miracle not resulting in an assassination, shouldn't that fall on the Director?

not quite accurate:

Introducing their song "Travelin' Soldier", the singer Natalie Maines told the audience:
Just so you know, we're on the good side with y'all. We do not want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas.

Is that what these clowns are glomming onto? There's not something else?

18:11:33: Shots are fired.

18.11:34: Trump touches the right side of his face.

18:11:35: Trump takes cover as agents rush to the podium.

Male agent 1: “Get down, get down, get down.”

More shots heard as Trump surrounded by agents.

18:11:41: Female agent: “What’re we doing, what’re we doing.” “Where are we going…”

Man indistinctly yelling.

More videos I'm too lazy to find.

But this was the best of the best.

Secret Service unfortunately needs more candidates, better recruiting, and better training.

Why do you think that? Just because it would make yourself an assassination to target?

At the first public gathering I attended after the shooting, on Sunday night someone on stage with a microphone said pretty much the same thing.

because you are just assuming everyone agrees with you. to wish death on anyone is pretty slippery to begin with.

Let’s chill on the name calling please! Ooph. It’s just like a level too far, let’s reel it back in.

careful now, if he becomes self aware he'll be unstoppable

Many people don't want the support of those who don't agree with them.
That's certainly not a rare viewpoint to have.

lol puts me on ignore and then just keeps talking about me and liking posts quoting me.

I think a few folks here did

Idk man you guys just fight about the dumbest **** and cry when I ask a few centrist questions about the shooter in a thread that is supposed to be about the shooter

Nothing like this happened. Not even the "centrist questions" part.

they are picking on you bc you dont understand the exact mechanisms of USA voting. most of them dont either. your questions ofc make sense.

I doubt the internet has already accurately recreated the trajectory of the bullets based upon the physics and the loci of the shooter and victims. But it is certainly a video Playbig could run with and conclude the Pope can disappear.

Centrist JAQing off is the calling card of the republican troll. Can’t blame people here if you are the 1% of people doing that legitimately

He didn't ask any questions until after he made assertions.

Unbelievable... I've had to stop reading the Russia and Israel threads since you've been back trying to avoid your BS, and now you bring it here as well.

You are so addicted to dishonestly sabotage of the forums that you even do it to defend people who are your ideological opposite. Yet you somehow think people are supposed to take you seriously.

I guess we just disagree.

To me, NFL players mostly perform very clearly defined tasks. Do not let the other guy run around you. Run around the other guy. Run 15 yards, cut left and catch a ball.

With all the info they have, it's kind of surprising that, using the measurement you picked to bolster your case, they are wrong half the time.

In orher professions we are usually looking at a persons past achievements in being an apple to decide how good they will be at being an orange. With nothing close to the same info.

You had a rough year at age 16 so you didn't get into any ivy league school so it's 100% impossible that you could be a great legal mind at age 42.

You weren't an elite soldier at 20, so you can't be an elite leo at 30.

Nonsense, imo. I've read stuff about CEOs where it's really hard to know if someone is good at being a Ceo even after they were CEO of a company for several years.

If Victor believes this, he is more deluded than I thought.

Your interpretation of what a professional football player does seems to be missing the added variable of another team full of massive physical freaks. Being bigger, faster, and stronger than high schoolers or college kids doesn’t mean you will be bigger, stronger, and faster than the other pros. Some guys floated on talent their whole life and have no work ethic. Some guys worked incredibly hard their whole life and burn out. Some guys get injured. Some guys are taken for potential. Some guys are even taken in the first round where it’s known they are the 4th or 5th best option at their position but the other guys were already taken. Sometimes you take that guy in the first round and a much better player in a later round because that position isn’t contested or coveted.

I guess what I’m trying to say is you don’t know jack diddly squat about professional football

WIM (wanting it more) is what separates most players on the gridiron.

I've lost the purpose of this political comparison in the fray. You might say that is the result of my strong WIL. Either way, it's as simple as this.

Unless some new findings come to light, we may never fully understand the shooter's mindset and motives. But details that have emerged of him being a loner who was sometimes bullied in high school may be more revealing than whatever his political beliefs were.

As Michelle Goldberg wrote in an opinion column in the New York Times, "the more we learn about the shooter, the less it makes sense to analyze his actions in conventional ideological terms. Though details remain sparse, this appears to be a story less about fanatical partisanship than about the crisis of lonely and disconnected young men being radicalized into pure nihilism.

"The reporting that has emerged so far describes him as an outcast, not an activist. A classmate told CBS News that he was bullied relentlessly. Another told The Wall Street Journal, “People would say he was the student who would shoot up [a] high school.” He appears to have had a passion for gun culture; he reportedly wore camouflage or hunting gear to school and wanted to join the rifle team, though he was rejected as a bad shot. He joined a local gun club, and when he was killed on Saturday, he was wearing a T-shirt for Demolition Ranch, a gun-nut YouTube channel.

"Some who study terrorism and violent extremism find the shooter’s history of humiliation and obsession with firearms familiar. “We are starting to see some of the key markers we see in individuals that have committed acts of targeted violence,” said Elizabeth Neumann, who served as assistant secretary for counterterrorism and threat prevention in Trump’s Department of Homeland Security. In such people, ideology can be secondary to the desire to wreak havoc and win notoriety."

Nice to see someone not puking up nonsense! I agree. From what I've seen and read he was the typical bullied, outcast, lone wolf. I wouldn't consider demo ranch for gun nuts, but maybe that makes me one 😀
