shades of 1933

Shades of 1933, when the shooter missed FDR and killed the mayor of Chicago at a rally in Miami.

I first saw this on my Cspan feed: looks like it came very near to his head.

No, I don't usually follow the news on twitter, which is full of activists spewing anti Jewish haterd, and is now full of two types of tweets; either asking for prayers, or rejoicing at the hit (or insisting that it was fake: Heck, even CNN reported it as a fall when he ducked for cover).

this is despicable because the report suggests a spontaneous fall....yet the noise of the shots fired, and Trump grabbing his ear, are clearly visible on the CSpan video.

according to Instapundit, the initial AP NBC and WaPost reports are similarly failing to report what happened by using language that obscures what you can see... the hostility of the crowd to the CSpan reporter suggests they dislike the press... wonder why?

the local PhilInquirer used theAgence France-Presse story. Trump is ‘safe,’ says Secret Service after rally where shots were heard

Trump was taken to a hospital but is okay, but some reports say a bystander was shot and taken to the hospital.

Emergency Department Doctor:

“Somebody over there was screaming, 'He's been shot. He's been shot.' So I made my way over. I saw him and said, 'I'm an emergency department physician. Let me help you.'

He had a headshot… https://t.co/oY5GGokfgF pic.twitter.com/F48mE0ayB0

Freepers attending the rally who were mainly discussing the size of the crowd or the snacks they planned to eat after the rally reported shots fired at 6:12:25and one of the guys on the edge of the rally told the BBC they saw the guy and were trying to alert the cops when the shots rang out.

MY Question. Why were there no security guatds on the roof? And how did the kid know he could climb up there?
