Holy shit, he had blood on his ear? If that’s true, he was about a foot away from assassination. That’s wild.
Edit: saw a picture of him and he was def hit in the ear. We won’t hear the end of this for a long time. “Radical democrats are so scared that I’m going to win” etc
Edit 2: let’s do count of “how many push notifications does the news junkie get?” I’m at 34 7 so far. Edit: it’s a lot more than 7 but I’m done counting
He put his hand up to his ear before he went down and you can see blood on his face when Secret Service took him away. Whoever it was missed him by that much.
Nobody in the crowd was hit with anything it seemed, so I don’t think he was shot. If anything, the secret service takedown probably did whatever it was. He’s never going to stfu about this. Wouldn’t be surprised if this was staged.

And yet, nobody in the crowd behind him was hit? That’s… really hard to believe.
There was blood in the crowd supposedly. Maybe a ricocheted bullet but it’ll be a while until we have reliable info
Edit: 2 dead so far
Oh, we’ll never have reliable info. The right-wing noise machine are already spinning up their conspiracies.
…The article was posted on NBC at 6:27, then posted here at 6:28. LESS than 30 minutes later 6:57 you declare, “we’ll never have reliable info”.
maybe don’t listen to the “noise machine”.

One attendee was killed, along with the shooter
One audience member is dead.
I commented this earlier but I would not be surprised if the people behind him are deceptively far away and only look close at this camera angle.
In the video you can see him lifting the hand to the ear after the first bang
It looks like a chunk of his ear is blown off. Fucking insane!
Not like he ever listened to anyone anyway.
Holy shit lol
Best photo I could find, caution, blood.

I don’t see any chunk missing.

He was bleeding before secret service got to him. The video is literally linked for you by OP.
I saw it. Didn’t see any blood before he ducked, and his head was turned from the side he allegedly got hit in, so I’m not sure how you saw anything.
He wasn’t shot. Pure publicity stunt. Same shit as WrestleMania.
