    Now the FBI is backtracking. Seems like an absolute mess over there.

    It’s a miracle, like his ear wasn’t even touched

    What I don't understand is if a bullet grazed his ear it would have kept going into the crowd of people behind him and yet - no one behind was shot or hurt. What happened to the bullet? Maybe that's the reason the FBI is questioning what actually happened. Was there really a bullet that grazed his ear or did he bump his ear on the lectern when he ducked down after he heard the shots. Inquiring minds want to know!

    That’s always been one of my biggest questions. The kid was shooting an AR-15, which fires multiple rounds in succession. Yet, no one in the immediate line of sight was hit.

    Doesn’t add up.

    He did hit two dudes before Trump. If it was a bullet, there is that picture that supposedly shows it going passed him, behind him, grazing his ear. It appears to have kept going towards the SUV, away from people. Maybe lodged in a tree or something.

    I do wonder though, would the bullet grazing him slow down or change its trajectory?

    The AR-15 fires one round per pull of the trigger. Unless he had an illegally modified version, which would be a felony, and I'm sure we would have heard about it.

    I am 98% sure there was only one shooter. Not going into the details unless someone has to know why.

    My theory on why so few people were hit is. The young kid had buck fever.

    Punching holes in paper is way different than taking aim at a person. He probably was very nervous, and had a very fast heart beat, and rapid breathing. Conditions that will affect the accuracy of shots.

    He was a young novice shooter, not even a good shooter, let alone sniper grade.

    A medical report would help.

    Trump would just draw on the ballistics report in Sharpie.

    Trump campaign suing to block new rules in Michigan that hope to make voting easier for veterans.
