This shit really needs to stop.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Quote from: Tamas on September 15, 2024, 04:58:06 PMSeems like secret service shot at the guy after spotting his AK poking out from the bushes, guy fled and was later arrested.

Very fortunate for Trump, his debate performance will not be discussed any longer.
Pretty wild considering Florida is an open carry state. The SS overcorrecting after the last "attempt"? The guy appears to be a big anti-vaxxer independent who voted for Trump in the past according to initial reports.

Tomorrow we will be awash in stories about how Zelensky put the hit out on Trump.

The thing about conspiracy theorists is they eventually turn their conspiracies against you.

Or at least my conspiracy theory brother-in-law did, which is why he is no longer my brother-in-law.

Trump is trying to ride the conspiracy train to power...

I mean, technically it isn't a legit assassination attempt, is it? The guy had a gun in an open carry state, didn't fire any shots, fled when shot at, and wasn't there when Trump was.

Also, especially wild an anti-vaxxer would go after Trump given his history plus he recent addition of super anti-vaxxer RFK, Jr. to his Legion of Doom.

Well that is the thing. Trump is not actually an anti-vaxxer. They are mad at him for Operation Warpspeed. And who knows where else their batshit imaginations go from there.

Don't be thankful yet.  He's pretty anti-Trump now.  He tried to go to Ukraine to fight but was turned down cause he was old and had no military experience.

Can you open carry an AK in Florida? If yes, how can they prosecute the guy if he denies the obvious? Seems like he was outside of the golf club and didn't actually shoot a single round.

I've been wondering about that too. Does open carry suddenly become illegal if an ex-president suddenly turns up within half a mile?

Promises to be an interesting case if he gets a half decent lawyer.
Dude innocently disobeying no laws gets assaulted by the secret service....
Of course the obvious lessons won't be learned by those who need them, instead it'll be some paranoid crap about the deep state.

I suppose there is probably a proviso that you carry your gun safely; ie slung on your shoulder or pointing at the ground  :hmm:

Well that is the thing. Trump is not actually an anti-vaxxer.

No but he has been playing one on TV.
