On July 13, 2024 at 5:11 P.M. 8 shots were fired towards Donald J. Trump at his rally in Butler Pennsylvania. One of the shots grazed President Trump's ear and another hit a father trying to protect his family. He later died due to his injuries that he stuffed that day. He was the only death on that day although a couple of others sustained injuries. This was a major event and will be talked about for years to come. There were many conspiracies made surrounding the events on that day. One thing that is for sure is that there was a lack of security at the event. The shooter was able to get 150 yards away from Trump on a rooftop. The secret security was supposed to have the rooftop on lock down with it being so close to Trump. The shooter was later identified as 20 year old Thomas Mathew Crooks. He was able to climb up on top of the building with an AR style rifle. He climbed up on the roof while Trump was making his speech to the people of Pennsylvania. That's when he got into position while being detected by the secret service. Before he shot his 8 bullets he was in the secret services scopes but they didn’t have a good view on him or have clearance to shoot him. After Thomas fired his shots the secret service shot back and hit him in the head causing him to die on impact.
Many Republicans think that this event was planned by the democrats to take out Trump because they don't want him to be president. They say that the secret service allowed him to get on top of the roof and take shots before killing him. While Democrats deny all of those claims saying that it was just a tragedy that it happened and they had nothing to do with it.
I think that it wasn’t planned by the Democrats but I think that it showed how they provided a lack of security for Trump and didn’t follow protocol when it came to protecting Trump.
Do you think that Trump's assination attempt was planned by the Democrats?
Do you think Thomas Crooks acted alone?
Do you think the security service was or wasn’t following protocol when it came to protecting Trump?

Good topic choice Barrett! Your summary is good biut could have been a bit longer. You could have replied a few more times as well on three different days.
Do you think the security service was or wasn’t following protocol when it came to protecting Trump?, I belive they wer folowing protocal. from what ive hered it was not in range that they could shoot there is a map around were they can and that building was out they were trying to get clerance from there supperviser but it was to late then the guy that shoot him acctulaly ended up getting fired.
I don't think the assissination attempt was made by the Democrats because even though they don't like Trump I still don't think they told him to kill Trump. I think it is the securities fault since they are the ones that are suppose to keep a look out so they can protect Trump. I believe that Thomas was acting alone. I don't think the security did a good job on protecting Trump because there was a bullet that hit Trump and they weren't keeping a look out very well.
I don't think that security services wasn't following protocol. If they were i'm sure they would have acted sooner than waiting until shots fired. But I don't believe that the democrats planned this attack. But I do believe that Thomas acted alone.
no, actulay the person responcible for that was a republican, a trump supporter in fact. probly not, there might have been someone to help him, but usualy most people think thats just an conspirecey.
i disagree with you I think Thomas Crooks was against Trump and was there to take Trumps life not help him on his politial jerney. I don't that Trump would risk his life like that woth someone he doesn't know well and doesn't Trust at all even the most adveance Snipers couldn't hit that shot with Thomas set up and Rilifle
I personally dont think that the securety team was doing protecal because why would someone in the first place get that close to the president with a gun and how did no one spot him on the roof plus the person that was apperintaly fired for shooting him was following protical.
I don't think that the democrats planed the attack. I just think he really didn't like Trump and just didn't want to see him alive any longer. There hasn't been any evidence claiming that he was working with others. I think that he did act alone because I don't know if a lot of people would go out of their way to try and assassinate Trump knowing that they would be found someway. It's just hard picturing someone wanting to help him out.
I agree with you I dont htink that the Democrats had planned the attack, I also think the Thomas Crooks did just truly hate seeing Trump and wanted him to not be preisdent and he trieed to kill him. I also agree with you I think that no one would take the risk in helping him
I think the democrats had nothing to d with this. I think there could have been a partner in this, but there is a chance he acted alone. The secret service did a very very bad job that day, which led to the death of an innocent man.
