Nah .. Trump's conviction did nothing. Biden's debate did nothing. This will also do nothing.
Put "Butler Police Department" into the search bar of twitter and you get a bunch of different names of people that trolls are claiming were arrested.
The police pulled one person out of the crowd, another was on video laying dead on a nearby rooftop.
And right now the disinformation machines are in full overdrive, pumping out as much crap as they can to confuse everyone. Makes it easier to insert their own spin narratives later.
I feel compelled to follow it closely but that's just me being neurotic. For better or for worse the false information is already flooding social media and it will take a day or two for us plebes to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Trump's already got a picture of blood on his face with his clenched fist raised. He'll be taking in double the donations and votes. Antifa adds nothing to the left.

Well .. Biden is out of the spotlight for at least a week. That's for sure.

I strongly agree. All this speculation is silly. We need to wait until more information from reputable sources is released and not listen to speculation from the pundits and anchors on TV.

No evidence for either of these statements.

The poster is "Clown World". That might be a clue as to the credibility of the post. My gut feeling is it's a troll.

This might just win Trump the election
It’s a certainty. The photo of him with fist raised will be everywhere.

Nothing is a certainty. For all we know, a brush with mortality might trigger an intense re-evaluation of his life and lead Trump to withdraw from public life and pursue spiritual enlightenment through religion, diet, and raising fancy dogs. Speculation may be entertaining but it's hardly sensible to proclaim one possibility out of a range as being certain.
Here's another possibility, since we're playing this game: raising a fist while being walked off a stage only proves a person wasn't killed immediately by a shot. The injury may actually have been more serious. When you see Trump walking around and talking several hours from now you can dismiss that possibility, but for all we the public know he is right now in an operating room. Not all headshots are instant death, the human body is more complicated than video games make it out to be.

This. Everyone who might be genuinely sympathetic is already politically enthused, everyone else is thinking "missed it by THAT much." Yes, even you, person reading this, don't tell me you weren't. Even (and especially) the Republican party, who would have loved to turn Stinky into a martyr and install some christofascist anus in a suit on a wave of deeply sincere emotion.

It was a gathering of republican MAGAchud.
Gunfire is just their way of giving applause.

Some of those shots may have been the shots that killed the initial shooter.
