We all need to ask questions about what actually happened today … and not automatically believe what we are being spoon fed. The whole event looks staged … the only beneficiary is Trump. 
 

Looking forward to reading through the details in the coming weeks.

Thats a wrap for him on the election.

 

May garner initial sympathy, but also serves as a reminder of what a polarizing and divisive person he is. There was an assassination attempt in Las Vegas during the 2016 campaign. I don't recall any bump in the polls as a result.

It was bound to happen. That'.s a wrap for him on the election. They have tried  to lock him up and now kill him, wait till the picures with blood and the flag hit the net.

 

Yep, highly likely to get sympathy vote. Will be interesting if they can identify the motive for the attack.

bob.


Do you believe in Oswald and the magic bullet theory Bob? There’s an American guy on the BBC who’s telling the world he was pointing out the shooter on the roof to the Police … and they don’t act until after the shooting? Why?

Well how do you manage to live in a country where there are more guns than people! More mass shootings than any other country! Just a matter of time till someone fired the big one! Has your AR15 got a bump stock, Skippy?

There are more guns than people in Thailand???  Unlike you I live full time in Thailand and have been happy here for years... PS... try reading more 2bit... some of it might sink in... 

 

"How Differing Definitions of "Mass Shooting" Confound Country Comparisons

One of the main causes for the vast range of stances on mass shootings is that reliable data on mass shootings can be notoriously difficult to obtain—what's more, the data that does exist is often incompatible with data from other sources. No official, universally accepted definition for a mass shooting exists. Rather, each stat-tracking organization has its own qualifying criteria. For example, the United States Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) defines a mass shooting as a single attack that happens in a public place and in which three or more people are killed with a firearm. However, most other stat trackers require at least four fatalities. As a result of these mismatched definitions, database-to-database differences are both common and confounding.

Similarly, some databases include events in which at least four people were wounded, but not necessarily killed. Others do not. Some databases include occurrences in which the shooter killed only family members (but still in a public place, such as a restaurant). Others do not. Some databases include organized terrorist attacks, armed robberies gone wrong, and gang-related shootings. Other databases discard some or all of these incidents. In fact, in a 2019 study that compared four different databases, the number of mass shooting events recorded in the U.S. for the year 2017 ranged from a low of 11 to a high of 346. Clearly, a significant error margin exists, particularly when creating country-to-country comparisons.

Although events in the U.S. tend to get the lion's share of media exposure, mass shootings are clearly a worldwide issue. The following is an alphabetized list of just some of the [developed countries] other than the United States that have experienced one or more mass shootings in the past few decades: Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Finland, France, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Nigeria, Norway, the Philippines, Russia, Serbia, Spain, and Switzerland."
