This is a pretty comprehensive summary of all knowns and unknowns
Many of the points made here are quite interesting, taken together.... Pretty damning IMHO
Particularly the item near the end, where the woman is literally shepherding the photographers to just the right "sweet spot" to capture the epic scene of the rising and bloodied survivor
One thing left unmentioned, is the total lack of any sign of Dumpf's ear ever being touched, by a bullet - I have seen a number of close-up pictures of his ear and there is just nothing - no healed damage, scar, just plain nothing
So many things just don't add up !!

(38,750 posts)It seemed very fishy. They argued that I was wrong, pointing out details that they thought lent credibility to the story that he was shot. I didnt argue back. Glad to see that more people today are doubting his account.

(6,497 posts)Not.
BTW, some wounds don't leave scars.
BTW2, the location of the shooter, the guy killed and Trump are known with considerable accuracy. Did the resulting bullet trajectory place it close to his head/ear?

(9,573 posts)Nah dawg. Something smells. I'm not a conspiracy theory type, but too much isn't lining up.
Disaffected
(6,497 posts)I agree there are some interesting unresolved questions and suspicions here but the counter facts IMO weigh against a conspiracy theory.
One thing to keep in mind is that conspiracy theories are almost always wrong.

(9,573 posts)A bullet graze will not disappear after three weeks... not one that "bleeds" like that... that means it penetrated the top layers of the dermis. Further, bullets, especially 5.56 mm bullets are HOT and often burn the tissue. I'd expect at LEAST a scab. The splatter pattern makes no sense either, though maybe weird physics. But not ONE picture of an actual injury on his ear? Bullshit. If his ear had actually been injured, we'd see that photo plastered all over the place.
Disaffected
(6,497 posts)a scab would disappear "after a few weeks" wouldn't it?
Also, blood spatter analysis has been debunked has it not?
Happy Hoosier
(9,573 posts)Blood splatter is not realiable, which is why I gave the "weird physics" reply. It doesn't match what I'd expect, but who knows. The "Blood" is bright red, indicating arterial blood, byut the vessel in the ear are very small. That much blood would indicate a significant chunk of ear was removed. A simple graze wou;ldn't do that.
I'm not not SURE this was faked. But I AM sure, there is something fishy going on here. And I wouldn't put it past these fuckers for a minute to murder a man to stage this "assisnation" attempt. I AM sure the whole "wounded ear" thing isn't being represented truthfully.

(27,031 posts)Particularly a bullet fired from an AR-15. That would have caused hearing damage as well, being so close to his ear canal.

(3,845 posts)Is the main thing that really makes me go hmmmm. It's kinda like this person knew Trump would be striking a pose for them to capture. The other thing is that the SS let him get up and strike a pose like that. But OTOH, he wasn't POTUS at the time, so the protocols maybe weren't as strict? But they should've have be so cavalier because there could've been another assassin for all they knew.
I do think if this exact thing happened NOW I'd be more suspicious, simply because I don't trust anyone in the administration. But because it happened under Biden, when we had a functioning DoJ, I don't think there's any way the people around Trump would've risked a scheme this dangerous to bystanders. Trump couldn't control the situation, and couldn't pardon anyone at that time.

Stager.
When it first happened Pres Biden reached out to the widow of Corey Comperatore.
But she didn't want to speak to him... she said her husband wouldn't have wanted it.
Now I heard on that Vid that she wants answers.
Also, read when it happened, PEDO said he was going to give her a $Million$$$.
Wonder if that ever happened?

In this supposed 'mock' fabricated shooting ....
I'm sure the family will be gratified to know that it was just a bit of cosplay.

(5,042 posts)The same applies with the JFK assassination. It is impossible to prove THERE WAS NOT a shooter other than Lee Harvey Oswald firing rounds in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963.
In each case, I believe the gunman identified by the authorities was the sole perpetrator who acted absent any conspiracy or coordination with anyone else.

(15,560 posts)(actually - make that a 'high rise' industry - for purposes of scale)
And the sad thing is (along with the collective delusion, brain drain, and breakdown of social cohesion and trust/bonds)
Is that a lot of the modern day purveyors - don't even believe in their own crap .... (Alex Jones anyone .. ?)

(1,038 posts)Do they mention the guy in the sunglasses on the right in the thumbnail was also present at Charlie Kirks shooting? He was on stage. Has always seemed bizarre to me Wasnt he SS? Then why on stage with a private citizen?
scipan
(3,081 posts)I see a guy ducking and running to the left, then later a few photographers including him, running to the right to get a good shot.
intheflow
(30,217 posts)Dude ducked down so not to distract from what was happening on the podium, got the photographers, and the photographers all stood completely upright to be in just the right spot, while theres an unknown shooter on the loose. Why did the photographers just act like there was no danger? Because there probably was no danger.

(5,042 posts)After Crooks went down, I think the counter sniper exhibited a demeanor indicating that the threat was neutralized.
Also, I think the Secret Service radios could be heard emitting statements indicating that the sniper was down.

It's kind of funny. MS-NOW just had a whole long article on how insane it was that MAGA were recently indulging in assassination conspiracy theories. I got a sensible chuckle how this rather lengthy piece somehow just talked around the fact it isn't that recent and isn't that isolated to one group.
Couldn't alienate their audience, I suppose.
