Yesterday afternoon news broke of a "security incident" at a Trump rally in Butler, PA. Then it was Trump being shielded and evacuated because shots were fired. Some time after that, it became an "apparent assassination attempt". With confirmed reports of a dead shooter some 130 yards away, then it became "assassination attempt". And later on, we were stunned with how close this assassination attempt came close to succeeding. Former President Donald Trump literally dodged a bullet.
As with any event of this nature, we are seeing everything from conspiracy theories to blame to speculation and the cold hard facts, as best as we can know them right now, are leaving more questions than answers.
I can see where the conspiracy theorists are going to be hard to disagree with on some things. Just how was it that the shooter got to within 130 yards of the former President? Just how was it that he knew that this would be outside the security perimeter? There seem to be credible witness statements that the gunman was seen some sixty seconds before the first shot was fired, with some trying to draw attention to the situation from law enforcement.......so why wasn't the shooter taken out before he fired the first shot?
These are legitimate questions. As to whether or not they will be answered to satisfaction is another matter.
All of that aside........I am angry that this happened.
May God save our nation.
