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.

One of the videos you can hear "shooter down" before he gets up. Elderly, near death experience, and monumental arrogance would help explain his reaction pretty well!

Shooting him isn't the way - but I can see why someone was scared enough to think it was. Just remember kids, voting for Biden isn't just voting against trumpler - it's saying you would literally prefer someone who is probably senile overhim. It's a solid insult, and you should go out there on polling day to make sure he hears it.

This is what wins him the election.

I've already called it "the bullet that nearly stabilized the world".

I don't think things would just calm down if Trump got ventilated. Probably the opposite.

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I have to disagree - these people are empowered because they were immune to the consequences of their actions. This would show you're not immune, that your choices and actions have consequences from those you are making suffer, and that the world doesn't exist in your ivory tower or group think.

The next fascist leader would go in knowing exactly what happened to the predecessor, exactly what the people think, and that they won't take your actions lying down.

The fact that mods are actually doing their jobs in this thread restores some of my faith in Lemmy.

Would the world be a better place without Trump? Probably. Is this the way? No.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 months ago

Thoughts and prayers.

I see blood but I don't see a wound. Are they really going to try and pass that the perfect hole there is a bullet hole? Wouldn't a gun shot wound there take a bigger portion of the ear?

[–] knightly@pawb.social 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Depends on the hit. There's not much blood so it might just be a graze.
