Ex-Firefighter Died Protecting Family at Trump Shooting

Sunday, July 14, 2024

A man killed at a campaign rally for former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania Saturday has been identified as 50-year-old former firefighter Corey Comperatore. Comperatore was there with his wife and two daughters and dove over them to protect them when gunshots were heard in the crowd. "Corey died a hero," Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said.

Republican shoots at Republican and kills other Republicans.

When are Republicans going to stop promoting political violence in their rhetoric and in their support for easily available tactical military weapons?

Hero? For putting his family in danger by taking them to a rally for a serial liar, grifter, sexual predator, insurrectionist and probable traitor? I don't think so.

Donald Trump thanked his supporters and said "it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening."

Apparently God wanted the firefighter to have his head blown off in front of his wife and daughters.

- prevented the unthinkable

I thought about it.... if I had the choice of who died, the Firefighter of the Cult Leader, I know which I would choose.

Well god chose to protect the compulsive liar, serial rapist, pedophile, thief, traitor, con artist and cheater instead.

The omnipotent sky man couldn't protect both.

I heard the felon's campaign created a gofundme for his family. I wonder how much Donnie will take off the top? 95%?

Wow. What are the odds of this guy being shot? I mean, there were at least 475,000 attendees at the rally--bigger than Woodstock!

President Biden called the widow of Corey Comperatore, the man who was shot and killed at the Trump rally. She declined his call.

The family has not heard from Donald Trump.

Typical deplorables.

Former POTUS Barack Obama must be surely empathizing with his former VPOTUS who must unenviably deal with Messrs Vladimir Putin, Donald J. Trump, and Benjamin Netanyahu. Odysseus had an easier time dealing with Scylla and Charybdis.
