That's not really a solution at all. You don't order a soda with your lunch because you think "I'm so dehydrated", you order a soda because you think "This will taste nice". People are allowed to want flavor.
Sounds about right. It's an absolute shame that such a beautiful place can be so inhospitable.
As should all media outlets. It's unsafe to share a space with Trump.
now is not a time for pacifism
Not wanting to celebrate an assassination attempt =! pacifism
You may be right, but that final shot throws me off. It sounds like a different caliber round, and there's no click that comes before it, which makes me think the last shot was fired at the shooter by somebody else, instead of at the podium.
It wouldn't have to have been too far. Ever been to a baseball game and notice the delay between seeing the swing and hearing the crack of the bat from the stands? If you're seated behind the outfield, there's easily a longer delay in that scenario than what we can hear in the clip.
It sounds like roughly a quarter of a second between the click and the pop, so I imagine the shooter was less than a hundred yards away.
The final shot we hear also sounds like it came from a different gun, and there's no preceding click sound before it. That leads me to believe that shots at Trump were probably from somebody in the crowd, and security or another bystander fired one shot into the shooter. But that's just my hunch right now.
For those thinking this is staged, listen to the audio carefully. You can hear the impact of the bullets landing near the podium before you hear the sound of the bullet being fired. You can hear a distinct click just before each pop; because bullets typically travel faster than sound, this is accurate to what you would actually hear if you were being shot at. This seems like a detail that Trump's team would be too incompetent to have thought to account for.
Fuck, things are likely going to start really escalating now.
Damn, that sucks. Richard Simmons always seemed like one of the nicest, most genuinely good-hearted people in Hollywood. The world is just a little bit worse off without him.
I'll never be able to think of him without thinking of his spectacular performance on Whose Line Is It Anyway.
Part of me misses the short-lived Holo design from the Honeycomb era.

Without knowing how they got into his phone, this is a non-story that is just a retelling of older stories. For all we know they just took his dead finger and put it on the reader. Or maybe he used the same 4-digit PIN for his debit card or lock box or something else that they were able to recover. Maybe some detective just just randomly entered the shooter's birthday, only to say "Hey sarge, you're never gonna believe this... first try!"
There's nothing useful that can be taken away from this story yet, until more details come out.
