Did the bullet just explode in midair without contacting anything? Is that something that can happen?

Not with factory loads. That said, a .223 varmint slug with a lot of velocity can break up hitting a fairly small tree branch or the like.

I don't see that happening in this case. I'd be interested to see what kind of ammo he was shooting. Chapman used hollow points on Lennon and they worked good.

Speak of the devil, there's a "disturbance" now....

Can he after the convention has nominated Vance? Isn't he stuck with him?

It's his party... he can do whatever he wants with it.

Actually, that's silly trolling.

That's a very good translation.

Kamala wants you to imagine what she could be, unburdened by what she has been.

Safe to assume you have that on a macro?

with no cutoff for talking overtime.

That would be the kiss of death for Lewzer. Let his unhinged freak fly!

I found this:

11 Investigates has learned exclusively that two Pittsburgh police motorcycle officers who were injured during the shooting at former President Donald Trump's rally over the weekend have been removed from the cycle unit. Sources told 11 Investigates that the Pennsylvania State Police requested Pittsburgh motorcycle officers to assist with former President Trump's motorcade Saturday night from the airport in Allegheny County to Butler County and back again. Pittsburgh sent 10 officers. Four of them, as we exclusively reported Sunday afternoon, were hit by shrapnel when a gunman opened fire at the rally, killing one man, and wounding Trump and several others. The Pittsburgh motorcycle officers suffered only minor injuries and were treated at the scene.
One later went to the hospital.

Redial, there were three other people shot and none of them were cops.

Were there not 4 officers lightly injured like Lewzer on the stage? I though I read that in the beginning. Motorcycle escorts, perhaps?

but it is a case that will be high,y scrutinized for decades.

I doubt it. The guy missed. Security people will scrutinise how this loser got that close, but that doesn't require fingerprints and blood splatter.

This is not going to become a folklore legend thing. It's already out of the news other than trivia.

That roof would be loaded with evidence, shoePrints, fingerprints, gunshot residue, blood spatter, etc.

Not my skill set, but would there be a lot of value in that sort of thing in an incident like this?

imo, more information is needed.

I agree. I'd be interested in the bullet configuration. And what hit those four other guys.

For me, that is odd in this type of situation.

Not every bullet will be recoverable. A 5.56 that hits something solid (concrete floor/wall) is just going to disintegrate. They should still be able to find the impact point.

As I pointed out before, Hinkley fired six shots at Reagan and missed with every one of them. They still found out where they all went. Granted, lighter weapon and shorter range, but still.

Twin, I don't know what hit Trumps ear, but it wasn't shrapnel.

I agree. What hit the 4 police officers that were injured in the event? Has anyone said?

At this point, I would not go that far.

It's just semantic pedantry. Shrapnel comes from a bomb or exploding shell. That obviously did not happen.

He's no different than Lamplighter

I disagree. Lamplighter posts actual thoughts on a topic. LYD and Robson do not.

LGH launches 2 vile posts that were simply personal attacks.

Um, that's his schtick. It's pretty much all he does all day, every day. He's no different than Robson. They are best just ignored.

I called you out on "people lining up to defend him". Lamp pointed out that you calling him "one of the most disgusting, if not the most disgusting, person on this site" is not much different. Is that not a personal attack?

so some line up to defend his toxic BS.

Got an example?

Why?

It's his standard contradictory response to pretty much anything.

Wins him Eberlys.

The internet is forever and the evidence is overwhelming.

Um. the ---- on the internet is not "evidence" of anything.

Sure:

Didn't see the word "secure" in that article. I must have missed it.

The entire incident ranks up there as the biggest eff up in secret service history

Still behind JFK by a long shot.

For over 3 years I've been lectured that the border is actually secure.

Can you provide an example?

Boeing's apparent "profit over safety" is the issue that concerns me.

I'm not so sure. This is "Defense Contractor" Boeing, not "Passenger Plane" Boeing. Much bigger/reliable contract money.

If they didn't care they could have rolled the dice and punted them back weeks ago.

She already is.
