Definitely a possibility too. His reaction was extremely fucking composed, all things considered.

Local news is saying someone in the crowd died. I don't think it's a false flag. https://www.wtae.com/article/trump-butler-rally-2024/61587781

Really looking forward to hearing all the usual suspects like Alex Jones saying this was a fake shooting. That'll happen for sure.

[-] HelltakerHomosexual@hexbear.net 36 points 5 months ago

also they went for the head, a fake shooting doesnt aim for the head and only barely miss

[-] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 23 points 5 months ago

Yeah, it would have to be something like the pro wrestling move of him applying blood to his own ear, which seems really unlikely. I think it's much more likely that somebody just missed by a hair.

Would he say into the mic "Wait let me get my shoes"?

[-] JayTreeman@hexbear.net 20 points 5 months ago

I thought that was weird too, but could have been a little shock

[-] ComradePlatypus@hexbear.net 20 points 5 months ago

Yeah people do and say weird things in shock.

[-] absolutefuckinidiot@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 5 months ago

maybe he broke out the Common Projects for this and didnt wanna lose them, understandable tbh

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago

Sure, you care about weird shit when you've just survived a near death experience. You think things like "don't wanna be barefoot when the adrenaline rush kicks down"

That is what I was suggesting. Nobody stages an event like that and thinks including "Wait let me get my shoes" is a good look.

Ah okay, I misunderstood you
