[TPD]

TP, yer startin' to rattle me.... are you somehow insinuating that bob dylans song, knocking on heavens door is all about guns in the ground and meyer lansky's great grandson, one Thomas Matthew Crooks, had connections to Black Rock and Chopticon1964??? is that was yer saying?

Bob Dylan is way before my time so you will have to sing the song to me before I can answer

Guns N Roses did a version. You've probably heard it.

Knock-knock-knockin on heavens door.
Hey - hey - hey - hey-hey-yeah.

 

[Sneakers]

nockin on evans door.

I miss the old Evans. I did knock, no one answered.

 

[vraiblonde]

If you poke your head up and someone is there pointing a rifle at it, what would you do?

Duck back while radioing that there's a shooter on the roof so SS can shield Trump immediately instead of after shots are already fired.

But things played out the way they did, and now Trump is a god.

Better than Dylan and I'm prepared to fight anyone who says different.

Not a Bob Dylan fan.
Big GnR fan.

So no argument here

Got a question - in high school, he was such a terrible shot he didn’t even make the JV rifle team. His first shot nicked the President’s ear from 130 yards?

 

[Hessian]

Turns out it was an officer standing on another cops shoulders to get a look and when the kid turned the rifle on him he ducked and fell to the ground wiht the other cop.

Not the best platform to engage in a gunfight, I'm guessing.

This has a slight advantage....

Well we know Kennedy was not Republican. But mostly, yeah.

He would literally be called Hitler in this day and age. Telling people "...ask what you can do for your country." Pffft.

That was before he was groomed and trained by Black Rock.

Bob? Or his brother Bill?

 

[BOP]

Speaking of Dave; he keeps knocking, but can't come in.

But he wasn't shooting for the President's ear.

I was on a rifle team in college. I was only about average - in prone, I could get the bull's eye about 9 times out of 10 - but that was with a .22 from 25 yards and just my eyeballs. I get that this kid had a much better gun, and I assume a better scope (like I said, I had just my naked eye) - but I never had to take the WIND or dropping due to gravity into account.

And he came within a hair's length on the first shot, which from experience, is your WORST shot.

I'm not concocting any conspiracy - it's just weird that a kid who couldn't make the JV rifle team - "because he was a terrible shot" - was able to do that. Clearly there wasn't anyone ELSE up there - I just have a gut feeling something is off. It's already weird enough that SO MANY PEOPLE saw him there - and yet LE and SS didn't do anything until after the bullets came. If they did that INTENTIONALLY - there's some innocent victims they need to be accountable for.

I recall a news report that USSS Snipers waited 43 seconds following radio report to engage. Not sure it's true and don't trust we'll ever know any real answers from MyOrkAss Liar.

[Gummie]

there is a meme going around;

ALL or the Presidents shot at or assassinated have been REPUBLICAN - all Presidential Assassins have been Democrat

JFK was a Republican?

 

[Kyle]

JFK was a Republican?

Certainly wouldn’t fit in the Democratic Party today.

based on his positions at the time, he’d be called a right wing extremist.

When you are a sniper your first shot ma be your only shot, so it had better be good.
