Trump shot at rally - just caught his ear.

Yes, Syracute - not only a Trump appointment but also not versed in this aspect of law having never taken on anything remotely like it - and, if you remember, having to be corrected by numerous people throughout.

Trump received some good legal news today as a judge in Florida has thrown out the classified documents case against him.

And what a terrible injustice from that unqualified joke of a judge!
Even if this is challenged it end up back with another trump "supporter".

What a mess!

For me the important one is the one that has the strongest direct evidence:

Attempted voter fraud by Trump directly in Georgia count at the last election (becuase I think the Capitol offence is harder to prove)

When Trump attempts to bully Raffensperger led Raffensperger to record telephone calls

Trump told Raffensperger, "What I want to do is this. I just want to find, uh, 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won the state

During the phone call, Trump falsely suggested that Raffensperger could have committed a criminal offense by refusing to overturn the state's election results

Pity they were unsuccessful

This is a truly shocking comment.

I'm surprised that it's been allowed to remain.

The flippant acceptance of an attempted murder is appalling.

Re conspiracy theories. ..
To the saddos working at conspiracy rubbish from your sweaty back bedrooms, grow up and show some respect for the casualties.

Definitely. But they are pervading the whole narratives around this event, and best option is to establish what can be verified.

This tells you everything we know so far about Matthew Crooks

it really is worth a read to get the full picture

I suspect, as in all shootings, bow killings, knife killings - there is a mental health problem for the person who harms someone else.

Not gun culture, knife culture, bow culture (whatever those may be fox hunting? archery? clay shoots?) - poor mental health culture.

Wyllow - the suggestion from some on here and also from Republicans in America is that ‘the left’ ‘democrats’ are responsible for the shooting. There is absolutely no evidence to support this.
The young man’s father was identified by Republican vote assessors as a strong republican

Anyone recall the Steve Bannon speeches (Bannon is a close friend of Trumps) at Trump rallies calling "Victory or Death! Victory or Death!" to great cheers? (on u tube).

Fortunately Bannon is currently in prison after the supreme court rejected his last-minute appeal to avoid prison time for *defying multiple subpoenas surrounding the House’s January 6 insurrection investigation*

He was involved with the vote leave campaign too, wasn’t he?

Have to check up, don't recall!

Bannon is linked with Aaron Banks and Cambridge Analytica and is very anti EU. Very supportive of people like le Pen.

The Guardian had written a feature on subject earlier today.

Let's be clear, this was not an attack from "the left". There is no evidence whatsoever that Matthew Crook was politically motivated and all evidence points to the lone shooter as we've gone into above.

If there is some evidence, then you know more than the FBI does!

Is anyone else beginning to be irritated by attacks on ‘the left’? What is the left? On gransnet it seems you’re dismissed as left if you want a good criminal justice system, or a safe route for people fleeing war and seeking asylum.

I can’t helped wondering if Trump is still at risk from some unhinged would-be assassin.

We have all heard of ‘copy cat’ crimes and it only takes one other unstable individual who has been influenced by extreme views of Trump spouted by some on the Left.

It's not at all unlikely - in America. I'm sure he, and his security, will be aware of the possibility.

I would remind you of the attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband by hammer-wielding David DePape whose blogs and Facebook accounts were awash with right-wing conspiracy theories. In spite of the fact that some insisted the writings were fake and only made falsely after the attack in order to incriminate DePape. Fortunately, a screen-shot of the blogs were taken prior to the attack. In his police interview, Mr DePape described Nancy Pelosi as the "leader of the pack of lies told by the Democratic Party", adding that he wanted to "break her kneecaps".

"Extreme views" spouted by extremists come from both left and right.

Wasn't it Trump who said that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue, and people would still vote for him? You can't really get much more extreme than that. It was a view which would have been better left unsaid, even if thought and believed.

How vile.

Ooh. I do hope so !

Indeed.

More worrying for those attending his rallys as well.
