Did Bullets Fly At Mar-a-Lago?

Was there a shooting at Mar-a-Lago?

U.S. Secret Service confirms that a firearm was recovered after a shooting near the former president's estate. Another assassination attempt on Donald J. Trump.

Can't offer sympathy or any empathy. He and moronic allies will continue to put more lives at risk, lie continuously, blame President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz for this.

The president, vice president, Walz, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) and the U.S. House members of Florida were notified.

The Trump campaign said Trump is safe Sunday after possible gunshots rang out in his vicinity on his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Ryan Wesley Routh is the attempted shooter. The suspect was arrested. He is a resident of Greensboro, North Carolina. He is a white man, not a Muslim, immigrant, not a Black man or a Democrat.

A source familiar with the matter told NBC News that Trump was immediately rushed to a safety and is safe, the source added.

In a statement, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said, “President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time.”

Trump and his moronic allies posted this.

“The Secret Service, in conjunction with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, is investigating a protective incident involving former President Donald Trump that occurred shortly before 2 p.m. The former president is safe,” the Secret Service said in a statement.

A senior law enforcement official briefed on the incident told NBC News that Trump was on the golf course when what sounded like gunfire was heard in the near distance.

As a precaution, the Secret Service moved him to safety, but there was no evidence that Trump was targeted. Local police are looking into the cause of the sound of what may have been gunfire.

In a post on X, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said he had spoken with Trump following the incident. He did not share any information about Trump’s condition but added, “He is one of the strongest people I’ve ever known. He’s in good spirits and he is more resolved than ever to save our country.”

The White House said in a statement, “The President and Vice President have been briefed about the security incident at the Trump International Golf Course, where former President Trump was golfing. They are relieved to know that he is safe. They will be kept regularly updated by their team.”

Trump is planning to visit Springfield, Ohio, "soon," a source familiar with the planning told NBC News.

The town has become the epicenter of a national political fight on immigration, with Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, spreading baseless conspiracy theories that Haitian immigrants in Springfield are eating dogs and other pets.

The woman behind an early Facebook post spreading a harmful and baseless claim about Haitian immigrants eating local pets that helped thrust a small Ohio city into the national spotlight says she had no firsthand knowledge of any such incident and is now filled with regret and fear as a result of the ensuing fallout.

“It just exploded into something I didn’t mean to happen,” Erika Lee, a Springfield resident, told NBC News on Friday.

Later, in an interview with CNN, Vance echoed his remarks from earlier in the morning and blasted the "American media" for not paying attention to what he alleged was happening in Springfield.

"If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people then that’s what I’m going to do,” Vance said.

Questioned about what he meant by "creat[ing] stories," Vance said “I say that we’re creating a story, meaning we’re creating the American media focusing on it.”

Asked whether she accepts that Trump and Vance's claims are untrue, Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump, who is also Trump's daughter-in-law, told Fox News, "It is not up to me to decide that. This information came directly from the people of Springfield. No one at our campaign — Donald Trump did not make this up himself."

To all the Black firearm owners who support the Second Amendment or former president Donald J. Trump in the 2024 presidential race, I just want to say...

"YOU'RE GONNA BE SHOT BY POLICE TOO!"

The National Rifle Association never reacts to lawful exercise of firearm use when a Black, Hispanic, Arab, Muslim, Indigenous, LGBTQ or underage teen of color is carrying them.

It is automatic dehumanizing from the far right, police unions and the junk food media.

When white men, women or even some Asians are carrying firearms, the NRA is often parading them around like they're heroes and protectors of freedom. Republican lawmakers are often the idiots who pose with firearms or have their children with them.

Thinking they're tough but in reality, they weaklings who can't fight or take discretion in proper use of a firearm.

In about 45 states, I believe it is lawful for you to walk down a street with a firearm.

If you're a Black man walking down the street with a firearm, the random 911 call or the visual spotting from a police officer merits an automatic drawl of a service weapon.

J.D Vance continues to spread Haitians eating pets. Springfield, Ohio got death and bomb threats.

Police officers within seconds are either shooting or premeditated an excuse to use force.

The unions back up their claims of "fearing for their lives" despite the perpetrator not even firing a round. Given that the junk food media loves to paint the aggressor as the victim, the police officer is given the benefit of doubt. The person police shot usually do not get any ounce of doubt. A mugshot of a suspect or a picture of a person posing with money or firearms automatically draws far right conclusions to justification of force.

Even fleeing from police with a firearm and not even pointing at them results in police shootings. 

If a person does survive, the state still charges the person for a crime despite the state allowing open carry and lawful possession.

So I just want to say that the Second Amendment is White, period.

Insufferable Marjorie Taylor Greene poses with a firearm.

A bullet does not care about color. We all bleed red and so many lives are lost to gun violence and Republicans offer no solutions other than "thoughts and prayers" with a touch of "lock em up."

Gun violence is the number one threat in the United States.

I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns. Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases. 

Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.

According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant thugs and criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. According to the far right, almost all white [or non-white] mass shooters are registered Democrats [or some progressive activist] because they have liked or done one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share or post disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme or make bogus social media platforms with the shooter's image as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white or associated with conservative causes. The far right says a white person should "protect" themselves from thugs, terrorists or protesters. They believe the use of firearms are "justified" if they are protesting or even instigating a conflict. The far right believes if a shooter is a police officer, an active military member, a veteran or a citizen who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens in urban communities, the far right automatically assume the gunmen are Black.

Can we handle four more years of chaos?

The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican lawmakers who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms. 

The alleged assassin.

The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.

So in closing, expect more.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those police officers who were killed in the line of duty. Those victims who don't get their names or accomplishments mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence. We are tracking police violence as well.

The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police. 

Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism. 

We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists.
