Looks like someone took some shots at prez candidate Donald Trump at a rally in PA. From the videos I've seen, it looks like he did get grazed.

It's not clear at all that that's what happened. It is completely plausible that someone would shoot a firearm at a candidate in a hotly contested presidential election. Let wait for evidence to roll in yeah?

You know for a fact that if the shoe were on the other foot, this is exactly the rhetoric we'd be hearing.

So let's not do what they do and live in an evidence-based world and not an emotion-based one.

The "facts don't care about your feelings" party doesn't care about facts and spends a lot of time on how their feelings are hurt.

You're right. Wouldn't surprise me one bit. But I still hold all parties to a standard of honest discourse.

[–] bolexforsoup@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 3 months ago

Yes it would be the case. Should we start behaving like right wing conspiracy theorists now?

[–] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

Doesn’t make it right or acceptable.
