Shooter was reportedly wearing a "Demolition Ranch" shirt when he committed the shooting. Demolition Ranch is a popular YouTube channel for gun enthusiasts.

Police and Secret Service did nothing in advance to prevent this. Un-be-lie-va-ble.  Orwellian.

BUTLER, Pa. — David James Stewart was trying to get a glimpse of a Trump rally after clocking out from a nearby Sheetz convenience store on Saturday. He ended up becoming a witness to an assassination attempt.

Why it matters: Stewart was standing right below the Butler, Pennsylvania building where the shooter was and took a video, later seized by law enforcement, he told Axios.

Zoom in: Someone yelled AK when they saw the shooter, Stewart said.

• Then bullets starting going over Stewart's head. He took video and continued recording for 10–15 minutes after the shooting.
• Stewart told Axios that law enforcement started shooting at the suspect on the rooftop immediately. Another witness told Stewart that he saw the suspect's head get blown apart.

Between the lines: Stewart was taken on the back of a Homeland Security vehicle filled with other witnesses to a building where he was told not to talk to other witnesses and spoke to Pennsylvania State Police, Homeland Security and others.

• Law enforcement told Stewart that 18 total witnesses were held in that building after the shooting.
• Stewart had been just released and was back at Sheetz when he spoke with Axios on Saturday night.

"Since they (USSS) shot him (the assassin who missed Trumps forehead by an inch)   instantly after (the assassin failed to kill Trump), that line of sight argument is inaccurate. Also leaving that roof unguarded is maliciously incompetence." The USSS saw that man before he pulled the trigger ...

President Biden, July 8, 2024: "We’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye." 

I wonder who wrote him (Biden) that sentence.

Typical day in America -- right wing young gun nut opens fire on a crowd killing one and wounding three before law enforcement puts him down.

Happens so often we're numb to it.

Until we're not.

Common metaphor.  Like an inventory of Trump/MAGA's violent rhetoric?

With all respects - looked a bit like the last scene of Robert Altman's Nashville.
