    Don’t give a shit what your political leanings are - no excuse to start firing at someone because you don’t agree with them.

    For all the debates we had on here over the last few weeks, it makes you realise how fortunate we are to have the ability to discuss viewpoints and practice democracy as it should be 
    Some of the posts I've seen on social media and some of the things I've seen in a couple of WhatsApps groups I'm in are crazy. There's some really radicalised people out there.

    This likely does give Trump the edge, and If Project 2025 comes to fruition once he’s reelected, I genuinely won’t feel safe living here anymore

    So an advocate for the gun lobby gets shot at. 

    Sorry.....no sympathy.

    He's been odds on favourite for months. 2/1 on (1.53) at the moment on Betfair. 

    Those odds seem insanely generous now.

    Well if there was any doubt over the election, it's gone now. Trump will win.

    Political Assassination attempts happen a lot in this country and they don't always move the needle.

    This is one of the weird sentences I've written on here.

    Political Assassination, DNC in Chicago, Project 2025, we're going back to 1968!

    I’m amazed it’s taken this long before someone tried this. But, yeah, it’s not going to change anything.

    Hope this incident will push the Dems to change candidate! Biden continuing as the candidate literally means handing over power to Trump.
    I honestly don’t think that would change the outcome now.

    Trump getting a second term is potentially a disaster for American democracy, but killing people in cold blood, or attempting to, is an absolute outrage. Even if it had been successful it would have achieved the opposite of what I assume the perpetrator intended.

    Wouldn’t surprise me if the shooter was a Trump supporter.

    .... Reagan
    Edit, saw you said the don't "always" move the needle.

    For what it's worth, I think this will be HUGE for him. 

    You'll be seeing that image of him on t-shirts by Monday morning.

    First off, political violence of any kind should be condemned without hesitation!! However we now sadly live in times where 'radicals' on both sides of the political divide are getting louder and stronger.
    What I find ironic about this shooting is seeing  some Trump supporters blaming 'unlicensed gun ownership' some even saying guns should be banned, yet Trump supports full gun ownership!
    A now Farage, is appearing on Kussenberg this morning at 9 am, to talk about his friend Trump, having said in the week, he is boycotting going on any BBC programme!! Unbelievable!

    T-shirts of him raising his fist will appeal to his support base more than the people who need to be swayed. If Trump wins it’s not because a shooter failed, but because the Dems have. 

    I was on Reddit as this went down and it’s astonishing how many people were crying conspiracy or false flag. Like there needed to be an outlandish explanation for an American with a gun.

    Doesn't matter what your politics are anyone wishing him dead should take a good long look at themselves. Fancy swapping places next time some nut comes along.

    Interesting to see what the gun lobby propose after this?

    RIP to the murdered victim. The third mass shooting this month. 

    In Pennsylvania.

    Be interesting to see what our papers lead with tomorrow. All of them today are about the football.

    Not sure about Trump supporter but appears that the shooter was a registered republican, and he was wearing merch from a popular conservative leaning firearms YouTube channel.

    The irony being that, had this been an officially ordered assassination by Biden to remove a polical opponent, then there's nothing that could be done to him through the courts. It's ludicrous. 

    I really do fear for America.

    Not only America, the whole world and certainly Ukraine.

    Not because of a bullet. But I’d have no problem with fried chicken doing its job.
