“How could he have injured only his right ear? I mean a proper bullett should have done more damage.
It looked like a soft hit….”Because it only hit his right ear
I’ll wait until they’re finished with the Stewards’ Enquiry. Maybe something could be altered.
Whoever took this picture is 1.01 to win every Photograph of the Year prize:
Not sure I’d be punching the air if a shot has just taken part of my ear off, he does have some balls.
The more I know the less I understand.
So many people on X and other chat forums talking about a hoax. These people
need taken away and kept in a darkened room listening constantly to the Cheeky
Girls.I will say one thing which strikes me. The shooter is a 20year old kid who works
in a kitchen. The gun was only bought by his father 6 months ago. To hit a target,
even though it was his ear from 130 yards is something Olympic shooters do. I don’t
want to create another grassy knoll theory, but somebody is a darned good shot. Is it
the kid that works in the kitchen who has borrowed his dad’s gun ?Trump was not the only person caught in the spray of bullets at the rally, Corey Comperatore a fire fighter was killed and another person injured.
To hit a target, even though it was his ear from 130 yards is something Olympic shooters do. I don’t

And the secret service sniper – who would undoubtedly be a good shot – managed a ‘clean kill’ of the gunman from approximately the same distance
The gunman had been a member of a rifle club at his school so in all likelihood was at least competant at aiming a firearm
The Secret Service Sniper is a fully trained sniper, hitting someone from that distance
is what they are trained to do, they are the best of the best. According to reports from
school, Crooks didn’t make it into the Bethel Park High School varsity rifle team. In fact
“He did not even make the junior varsity team after trying out,”Another quote from a schoolmmate told ABC News he “shot terrible” and “wasn’t really fit
for the rifle team”.Not to say that he hadn’t improved since leaving school, and he was a member of a local
gun club, but to hit the president (albeit his ear) from a distance of 130 yrads would
need a very advance shooter.I think the shots fired after the Trump shot may well be likely to have beeen fired in the
heat of the moment, or they were his shots. It has not yet been mentioned that 5 shots were
fired from Crooks rifle.I’m not saying it couldn’t have been Crooks, but I’ve handled firearms,
hand guns and rifles and it would take some shot. Imagine the 100 yard sprint and add 30 yards
onto that, it’s a helluva distance and that’s shooting without a stand, as the snipers had.
That’s the only nagging problem I have with this.One more thing, Crooks was on a roof directly in line with the right side of the Presidents
head. To hit his ear from that angle, why then did the buttet go behind Trump’s head and didn’t
follow the natural line, which would have been through Trump’s head. He may have turned to his
right but in general he talked face on to the crowd. All I’m saying is I’d like to have more
information before coming to a 100% conclusion.BigG, is Lee Harvey Oswald’s progeny still alive?
It is interesting to see how the bullett travelled and where and why it hit his ear without any further damage.
I don’t think Mr. Trump had a small explosive device hidden behind his ear. He wouldn’t do that.I’ve no idea Ruby, I know Oswold defected to Russia and married. He had a daughter but
beyond that, and the fact he came back to the US I’ve no idea.I think it’s fair to assume Trump was shot in the ear.
Fair enough BigG, you’ve experience of handling firearms whereas I haven’t
There is of course the possibility that knowing he was a bad shot he just fired off a round in the general direction of Trump and ‘got lucky’ with one managing to graze him
Big failure of security.
From what I hear:
Apparently Crooks was hidden from the nearest security snipers by a tree. Killed by a marksman much further away. I guess each team had look outs responsible for a particular area and the tree made a blind spot for that team. You’d think they’d make sure there were no blind spots.…And the public told the Police there was a man with a gun on the roof and yet seemingly this message was not passed on to those who could’ve done something about it in time. Either by taking Crooks out or by moving the President. Local Police and State Police not talking to each other?
On the other hand… Trump might have been thought of as a threat by those same security forces.
