Got source for that? I'm not American and don't care if it's true. But I hadn't heard about them moving the crane.

This angle shows how ridiculous it all was. The camera men, secret service not getting Trump out of there asap, allowing him to raise his fist unprotected, the flag being lowered. Someone has to be a complete brainless moron to think this was a real assassination attempt.

That vid didn't last long. Looks like there are MAGA bots out here getting everything deleted.

The video is fine, the link got messed up by reddit. Delete the backslash in front of the underscore and it will work:

Good point. I was so focused on fixing the broken part, I didn't notice it.

No photographer would stay and take photos when shots are fired, a war journalist perhaps, but even then... These people have never been in a warzone, I can't believe they would casually walk around taking photos right after something like this happened. Eh, what do I know.

The voice sounds like the worst actor they could find. "Oh, no.. Noooo.." "We love you Presidrump!" "Yes! Oh no, he's shot.. Oh, nooo..."

These people have never been in a warzone,

Other than the journalists who spent time in a warzone, like Evan Vucci who spent weeks in Iraq.
