Trump injured after being shot while speaking at a campaign rally

[mc kenna]

Not condemning or showing the least amount of compassion for a person that just got shot in the head and missed by a couple of inches from being lethal, really shows the character and the quality of the human being that we are.
This is flat out wrong no matter who the intended target was(in this case, former president Trump), we should really take a hard look at ourselves before mouthing off some incoherent highly polarized speculation .

Now he is a hero and a martyr.

The unintended consequences of the sheer blind raging hate.

Now he is a hero and a martyr.

He was already a hero to millions, perhaps to many if not most of the 81 million voters who cast their ballot for him in 2020.

He is not a martyr.

He missed that distinction by less than two inches.

The unintended consequences of the sheer blind raging hate

I assume you are referring to the shooter.

Please clarify if you are not

He was shot by a registered Republican.

Means absolutely nothing as, even you know, many leftists register as Rs to try to disrupt primary elections.

You are correct. Trump technically missed martyrdom by millimeters. But practically his blood was spelled.
He is more of a hero and more of a martyr.

He isn’t a hero because he was shot. He is a hero for defying his would be assassins in the immediate aftermath of being shot. That demonstrated a courage and spirit that men aspire to have in a moment of despartion.

No disagreement whatsoever.

As a presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. deserves secret service protection which he has been denied.

Shooter?
Lee Harvey Oswald was a shooter?
Sarhan Sarhan was a shooter?

Why didn't the Secret Service monitor rooftops?

There is a youtube interview from Sunday the day after, up today july 15 on youtube, someone who was at the airport rally nearby 4 years earlier for trump, and also at this one, and the one difference he noted was the former rally had snipers protecting trump from EVERY airport hanger roof, and this one it struck him as an anomaly right away that NO rooftop that he saw had such protection, and in fact only one did.
