Finally, someone talking sense! Look, I'm a nurse and I've SEEN bullet wounds. Even grazes, and they look worse than his. A graze from an AE-15 should have taken the whole top of his ear off! It didn't. The fact that someone was killed is, sadly, something else entirely. Would y'all stop and remember that the kid was such a horrible shot that he was cut from his school's rifle club and asked to leaf a shooting range? He may have been aiming for the Slobfather, but he couldn't hit him on a bet and was just shooting in the general direction.....OR.....consider this...It may have been a set-up all along, and Corey Comperatore was only killed because the kid was such a godawful shot and he didn't mean to hit anyone, he was just told to shoot "out there".

there's some question about whether or not it's a bullet [View all] BootinUp Jul 2024 OP

Or one of those tiny little razors, like the WWF always used so they could give the audience some blood to look at. Scrivener7 Jul 2024 #2

Look at the pictures. There's no blood at all on his right hand and shirt sleeve. Its white as the pure driven snow. Solomon Jul 2024 #35

His face was bloody. Or ketchuppy Bucky Jul 2024 #36

I would actually laugh loudly if that were true... Moostache Jul 2024 #51

Oh, please. Was the man killed hit by shrapnel too? brush Jul 2024 #5

Are you gonna bother to read any further BootinUp Jul 2024 #7

Not my version of the truth. A man was killed and others injured by bullets. brush Jul 2024 #8

And others were injured by shrapnel. asm128 Jul 2024 #9

Are you contending that the man killed was killed by shrapnel? brush Jul 2024 #12

There were multiple shots fired by Crooks. Bucky Jul 2024 #37

The man killed soandso Jul 2024 #13

But that is headed to the lower ear edhopper Jul 2024 #17

That is the bullet after it passed his head thatdemguy Jul 2024 #53

That makes no sense either edhopper Jul 2024 #55

My office? Whose office? WTH are you talking about? brush Jul 2024 #26

None of which precludes the possibility that the convicted felon was hit by shrapnel. Scrivener7 Jul 2024 #14

Shrapnel or not, he was still shot at. The 20-year-old somehow was able to... brush Jul 2024 #16

Yes. There are many questions. Including the question of what hit him. Scrivener7 Jul 2024 #19

Absolutely we need to get to the bottom of it. brush Jul 2024 #25

No. I doubt that's it. Scrivener7 Jul 2024 #27

and there it is: "I don't buy for a minute that that 20-year-old kid was able to do all that alone." BootinUp Jul 2024 #24

Thank you. Many questions still unanswered. brush Jul 2024 #28

I totally agree. Scrivener7 Jul 2024 #30

I wasn't agreeing though. I was wishing people would wait for the investigation report BootinUp Jul 2024 #31

It looks like they were intact Meowmee Jul 2024 #39

Exactly what difference does it make. Was it less of an assassination attempt if it was only shrapnel? onenote Jul 2024 #6

I won't address that issue. Nt BootinUp Jul 2024 #10

Maybe it was less of an assassination attempt. Scrivener7 Jul 2024 #20

And what exactly was it, pray tell? onenote Jul 2024 #22

Pray tell? Scrivener7 Jul 2024 #23

I thought pray tell fit well as response to someone named Scrivener onenote Jul 2024 #32

It's probably not, but he wouldn't have the same empathy from people. scipan Jul 2024 #29

When I saw the footage of Trump's ear, I thought Hollywood. It didn't look real. I did an internet search: SupportSanity Jul 2024 #11

Please. No. . . . For your suggestion to be true, he would have to know the game in advance Stinky The Clown Jul 2024 #15

In a heartbeat. Scrivener7 Jul 2024 #21

Giving the secret away...... SupportSanity Jul 2024 #34

Are you saying it is possible (likely?) the whole episode was faked? Stinky The Clown Jul 2024 #40

I'm saying I don't know. How small a squib is possible? And does it have to be a squib? SupportSanity Jul 2024 #43

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We know what squibs are. For a squib gag to work, you MUST know a gun is about to be fired. Stinky The Clown Jul 2024 #50

How small a squib is available? And does it have to be a squib that is used? Is there a more modern SupportSanity Jul 2024 #56

Why would he be ready with a squib (or something else) unless he knew the gunshots were coming? Stinky The Clown Jul 2024 #58

Sure. SupportSanity Jul 2024 #59

So the FBI didn't even get a report on his "injuries"? Autumn Jul 2024 #18

It doesn't seem possible that it was a whole bullet at any rate alarimer Jul 2024 #41

That Trump was injured by shrapnel and another person was killed by a bullet as well as others wounded elocs Jul 2024 #42

EXACTLY! Jilly_in_VA Jul 2024 #52

I understand the need to quibble, but it was still an assassination attempt. haele Jul 2024 #44

Not my intention. I merely shared an FBI update. BootinUp Jul 2024 #45

It's all good. I'm just a bit weary on the "dance around the room" the media is doing with Trump. haele Jul 2024 #47

I still think the whole thing can be explained John Farmer Jul 2024 #57

I don't see that it matters. Iggo Jul 2024 #46

I say shrapnel. mucholderthandirt Jul 2024 #48
