Shot fired at Trump?

[SmokingFap]

We can only base our assumptions about you if you tell us stuff that's believable. Otherwise all we can do is assume you're a fucking cunt like all the rest of those who promote the lies and fabrications of the ignorant.

So, tell us how a bullet travels so fast it can "blow your lungs out" (to paraphrase ol Joey meltbrain) yet in reality only wound. Tell us how an AR15 firing a .223 caliber bullet at 3250 FPS with 1275lbs/ft of energy is somehow "more powerful" than a .308 bolt action rifle at 2700 fps with 2550lbs/ft of energy (DOUBLE that of the .223). Or, for reals, let's check out the .50BMG which fires 647 grain bullet at 3000fps (about how fast the .223 travels at) but hits with an astonishing 13,300lbs/ft of energy.

Tell us smart girl. Pick up the microphone and tell us how something small and light can cause huge catastrophic injuries as it passes by and almost misses the target but is "more powerful" than calibers larger than it is. A caliber so "powerful" you and the rest of the anti-gun dipshits need banned in order to protect everyone from its devastating presence let alone effect in the wrong hands.

Or STFU on guns/ballistics/wound theory because you don't know shit about any of it.

Trump wasn't even hit by a bullet. He was hit by a bit of shrapnel from one of his worshippers' stupid signs.

IOW, you don't know anything but you're not going to admit it because it rips your entire bullshit presence on this forum to shreds.

Go the fuck away you lying fake.

You mad, bro? lol

 

[eric_erosfan]

Just fuck off luk. Honestly, you being here drags the entire site into the cesspit.

You are now confusing which alt you are logged into. I was not talking to "HisArpy" lol.

From your article and everything else I have read

The FBI later told Forbes in a statement Friday night that what struck Trump “was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle.”

Do you think he was struck by an intact bullet? Does the shape of his ear now bear that out?

 

[Aglaopheme]

Attempted assassination is attempted assassination.

I was going to say no one is claiming otherwise, but plenty of people on both sides are. I do not disagree with that. Also, an exaggeration is an exaggeration. Trump is a wee bit prone to exaggerating.

The Blast Effect​

This is how bullets from an AR-15 blow the body apart

The AR-15 fires bullets at such a high velocity — often in a barrage of 30 or even 100 in rapid succession — that it can eviscerate multiple people in seconds. A single bullet lands with a shock wave intense enough to blow apart a skull and demolish vital organs. The impact is even more acute on the compact body of a small child.

“It literally can pulverize bones, it can shatter your liver and it can provide this blast effect,” said Joseph Sakran, a gunshot survivor who advocates for gun violence prevention and a trauma surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

During surgery on people shot with high-velocity rounds, he said, body tissue “literally just crumbled into your hands.”

Yup. Shrapnel.

That kind damage is done if a round actually impacts a significant amount of body mass.

A graze from an AR round is basically.the same as a graze from any other round.

The speed at which that AR round (if it was an AR round and not shrapnel) whizzed past that orange POS’s ear may have been sufficient to cause an ear ache or dizziness, but that’s about it as far as anything beyond the small nick observed .

Thanks for the input.

Of course we know good ol' Doc Ronnie Johnson was completely lying when he said in the interview that it took the top of Trump's ear off.

Text messages revealed that law enforcementresponsible for monitoring former President Trump's Pennsylvania rally spotted his would-be assassin and flagged him to colleagues as suspicious at least 90 minutes before he opened fire.

The messages from Beaver County Emergency Services Unit, showed that officers flagged 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks after he was spotted using a range finder – but did not approach him.

A follow-up message said that Crooks was about 50 yards from the rally's exit, sitting at a picnic table.

Two other counter-snipers responded with a thumbs up emoji and responded, writing, "Roger that."

Approximately 45 minutes later, at 5:10 p.m., officers flagged that Crooks was on the move and had positioned himself near the American Glass International (AGR) building. Crooks would later perch himself on top of the AGR building to target the former president. While Crooks waited, an officer snapped a picture of the 20-year-old suspect.

Both Don Jr. and Eric Trump said after the shooting that their dad was a "fighter like Evander Holyfield...both had the top of their ear shot off"

Hard to exaggerate an assassination. Think about it, the assassin either makes his shot or he misses, there's no 3rd option. Trying to say an assassin killed you while you're standing there proclaiming that bit of news is kinda obvious that it's not true.

On the other hand, trying to say that an assassin "missed" when there's blood and evidence that he didn't, is also kind of obviously a lie.

Which is basically where the Left is on this. Worse, now they're trying to claim there wasn't even an assassination attempt let alone that Trump was injured in it.

 

[DeluxAuto]

Those who say so are despicable affronts to First Amendment and the country itself. They deserve no deference from the American people.

How do you feel about fraudsters who lied and cheated their way to a presidency and were convicted 34 times for their treacherous acts?

Hard to exaggerate? Yes, it certainly is.

But convicted felon DonOld Trump was up to the challenge, he parlayed a 2cm cut on his ear into a "bullet hole that pierced his ear". slapped an oversized bandage on it for maximum sympathy during the Republican convention (except when playing golf, of course) and immediately after the RNC convention was over, voilà! (or 'walla' in chobham-speak) the ear magically healed itself. Praise Jesus!

By now, even the most faithful acolytes of convicted felon DonOld Trump now realize what actually happened: The former president milked the equivalent of a paper cut on his ear for almost two weeks in a crass attempt to garner sympathy for both himself and his toxic political positions.

Yup. Shrapnel.

Utter Bovine Scatology.

An AR-15 is nothing more than a twenty-two caliber rodent rifle that was impressed into military service. In contrast, the most common hunting rifles are thirty caliber. They have about double the sectional area and at least three times the impact energy. The muzzle velocity of about three-thousand feet per second is comparable to most other, center fire rifles. Contrary to the opinions of ignoramuses, a bullet from an AR-15 doesn't generate mysterious "blast effects" in human tissue. In fact at three-thousand feet per second, a bullet from an AR-15 is actually subsonic when traveling through human tissues. Any ultrasound technician can explain this to you.

Based on my experience shooting thousands of rounds of various high velocity .22 caliber ammunition like the .223 Remington and many others, I don't think the outer edge of human ear represents enough mass to alter the integrity of the bullet itself. If that bullet would have hit his head, the side of his head, the front of the tragus or the Helicis Crus of the ear the result would have been catastrophic.

I think the bullet just nicked the Helix of the ear. I think such a wound could bleed like mad and heal to the point of not being easily detected to a casual observer. I think he was very fortunate.

Both sides?

Bill O’Reilly and John Stewart are political polar opposites but they still manage to have civil discussions. They have spoken many times on each other’s shows about a wide variety of topics.

Here they’re talking briefly and honestly about fanatics, presidential assassinations, and economics.

We should all get a clue and figure out how to talk with each other without all of the toxic vitriol.

Rod showcases his utter hate for Donald Trump and when the truth isn't enough to suffice, he fabricates the rest.

O’Reilly has a show?

O’Reilly has a show?

It’s a new style of a show that doesn’t require adherence to a corporate network. It’s actually called a “podcast” or sometimes a “YouTube channel”.

He has a live stream as do many other former network personalities.

I honestly thought O’Reilly was dead. I’m shocked that he is still alive and that anyone pays attention to him.
