Attending a Trump rally in 2024 involved several key steps and considerations:
Ticket Registration: Prospective attendees were typically required to register for tickets in advance through the official Trump campaign website. While tickets were often free, they were usually distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, and did not guarantee entry due to venue capacity limitations.
Early Arrival: Given the high demand and large crowds at these events, arriving early was crucial. Many supporters queued for hours, and in some cases, even days, to secure a spot. For instance, at a rally in New York City, thousands braved chilly temperatures overnight to attend the event. citeturn0news17
Security Screenings: Attendees underwent thorough security checks before entering the venue. Prohibited items typically included weapons, large bags, and signs with poles. Specific guidelines were often provided by local authorities or the event organizers prior to the rally.
Venue Policies: Each venue had its own set of rules and regulations. It was advisable to review these policies beforehand to ensure compliance and a smooth entry process.
Health and Safety Measures: Depending on the location and timing, certain health protocols, such as mask mandates or vaccination requirements, might have been in place. Checking local guidelines and event-specific advisories was recommended.
It’s important to note that experiences could vary based on the specific rally and location. Therefore, consulting official event communications and local authorities provided the most accurate and up-to-date information for attendees.
Attending a Trump rally in 2024 involved specific registration processes and protocols:
Ticket Registration and Required Information:
Prospective attendees were typically required to register for tickets in advance through the official Trump campaign website. The registration process generally requested the following details:
Full Name: To identify the attendee.
Email Address: For sending the ticket and event updates.
Mobile Phone Number: To receive confirmation and important notifications.
Zip Code: To gather demographic information and manage event logistics.
Typically, there was a limit of two tickets per mobile number, and tickets were allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. It’s important to note that obtaining a ticket did not guarantee entry, as venues could reach capacity quickly. citeturn0search12
Seating Arrangements at Outdoor Rallies:
For outdoor rallies with bleacher-style seating, the general admission policy often applied, meaning seating was usually on a first-come, first-served basis. Special registration for bleacher seats, as opposed to ground standing areas, was not typically required. However, arriving early was advisable to secure preferred seating, as these areas could fill up rapidly.
Press Coverage and VIP Access Registration:
Press Access: Media personnel seeking to cover the rally were required to apply for press credentials through the Trump campaign’s press office. The application process typically involved providing professional details, media affiliation, and agreeing to specific guidelines set by the campaign. Approval was at the discretion of the campaign, and not all applications were granted.
VIP Access: VIP tickets were often allocated to prominent supporters, donors, and political figures. These individuals usually received invitations directly from the campaign and were required to confirm their attendance through a specialized registration process. VIP areas offered reserved seating and other amenities, distinguishing them from general admission.
It’s important to note that experiences could vary based on the specific rally and location. Therefore, consulting official event communications and local authorities provided the most accurate and up-to-date information for attendees.
So, tickets not only held no guarantee for access, but didn’t guarantee you a specific spot in the venue either. Also, 2 tickets per mobile number, so that further blurs attendance.
Here’s a bunch more on cognitive biases, not all may apply directly to this event or investigative effort but still many do, and these are good to keep in mind.
If you mean, by “they”, Hercules2East & his partner with red bracelet on his left wrist, they certainly seemed scared, many seconds before the supersonic 8 shots.
The sound in LL Patriot’s vid may have lagged.
I tried
ffmpeg -i herc2.mp4 -itsoffset 00:00:0.345 -i herc2.mp4 -c:v copy -c:a copy -map 0:a:0 -map 1:v:0 herc2slo.mp4
to move it by 0.345 second.
Chrome & Edge seemed to move the audio forward…Firefox seemed to keep playing the un-forwarded audio…
Only 1 of 8 billion Earth residents expressed that belief before 15 October 2024; that was John Cullen, and he changed his mind, for unknown reasons.
Joseph Feldman described the arm shot as the ‘first’, but Feldman didn’t deny the shot into Copenhaver’s abdomen.
Tom Llamas on NBC showed the ~2 seconds, of 3 shots, and said, “attorneys for both men say this video shows them getting shot” and, obvious to me, and hopefully to NBC’s audience(if any) Copenhaver has told Feldman that he, Copenhaver, was hit with Shots 1 and 3.
Also, I think you meant to type, “Trump’s right ear”…not Trump’s left ear…but the bullet went from ear, I think, to Copenhaver’s arm.
True enough, word is that the tickets weren’t checked, but not many people would know about that. 99% of the people in close in seats would have checked in. We don’t have to have a perfect count if all we’re trying to do is get witnesses and videos.
And even for those that don’t, supposedly facial recognition would be able to identify the people that were scanned anyway. Those three guys were sweeping the people on their cells phones very slowly and carefully.
I found a video that confirmed the videos of the right hand bleachers are NOT audio lagged.
It’s from the “every angle” video:
Start at 18:09. The “Law & Order” version of this is cropped at the top and bottom (and is poorer quality), but fortunately they name the source - https://x.com/nexta_tv/status/1812289868350767173
Since I still need to find video editing software and am just using the “,” and “.” keys to move back and forth, which mostly only works with youtube, I match the frames from the X source to the equivalent second and frame on the “Law and Crime” video.
Anyway, the video starts on Trump, where his lips match up pretty well with the audio. He changes from an open hand to pointing just after he says “and then the worst president in the history of our country took over” - so that matches up.
It then pans over to the right hand bleachers, where we see the white shirt, beige shorts, red hat guy fall down exactly at the first audible shot - just like the other three videos. It’s almost been cropped out of the “Law and Crime” video, but you can see it.
It then pans back to the podium, where we see Curran, Piant and Menster rushing toward the stage. This screen grab is just about 1 second after the 3rd shot, 2.55 seconds after the 1st shot:
I wonder why that one video (with the Hercules 2 team) was sound lagged? Were other videos originally lagged and corrected? I know that in general live TV isn’t really live - it’s delayed a few seconds. You can fairly easily verify that by listening to or watching a sports game while near the stadium.
The secret service all wear an earpiece, so they wouldn’t be hearing outside sounds with both ears. Could that have affected their recognition of gunfire?
Or — did a voice in the earpiece say it WAS fireworks? Or put out a screeching sound that distracted them and drowned out everything else? I know that’s out there, but I consider the response times of all those guys and gals SO sucky that I have to consider something was up.
Or this possibility - it’s so far out there that even I would have a hard time believing it - a lot of people believe the clot shots injected people with control devices. What if the Secret Service people were “jammed” by nanobots? (The Secret Service could have easily gotten “special” versions of the clot shots).
Many of videos of the right hand(southwest) bleachers have audio FORWARDED, to suggest that Supersonic Shot1 hit the railtop when, in fact, the railtop had already been hit BEFORE SupersonicShot1 had been fired south to DJT’s ear.
Possibly the red hat guy grabbed an anti-nodal point of the railing.
What could we calculate here? The “knock” has several Fourier components, but higher frequencies has smaller amplitude. There is a minimum frequency that can reflect with anti-nodal interference.
Let me think about it. This might happen at the middle of the railing. So the first constructive interference has a wavelength as the double length of that railing.
Sometimes I saw an interview and the answer takes several seconds. So there was a question from the studio, and the reporter starts answering a few seconds later. Radio signals propagate with the speed of the light. (The “distance” of the Moon is 1.2 seconds - and the satellites are not so far.) It might be some signal processing (audio compression) issue.
Even the mobile phones have some lag. Call someone close to you. (My first mobile phone had a terrible echo of my own sound. The delay of my echo alwasy disrupted me speaking.) It is about the packages sent by digital technology. (Some packages might be lost and should be re-transmitted. Either there is a delay or you might hear those missing UDP packages - when re-transmission is not possible.)
Several years ago we made an audio recording system, and you were be able to monitor the sound (to be recorded) on the computer. The digital clock signal in this case is produced by quartz crystals, which are pretty accurate, but not quite. Now, what if the transmitter sends 0.01% more data since its clock is a little faster? The shift would accumulate. (In the other direction of the shift you might hear a millisecond of silence from time to time.) So I decided to skip playing every 1000th digital sample.
Do you mean that Copenhaver’s arm graze was from the trees Northeast? That was the evolution of John Cullen’s theory.
A couple of months ago, Cullen claimed that Copenhaver’s arm was hit with a subsonic shot from the trees north east of the fence…and Copenhaver’s abdomen was hit with a shot from AGR.
That Cullen theory required another pair of “simultaneous” shots(Trump’s ear and Copenhaver’s arm). The NBC video just showed an easier explanation, for me.
Yes, because I was never sure of the extent of the Herc2 video sound lag, and the recording microphone could have been further from the loudspeakers than we’ve guessed.
spent hours trying to get that video close up of Corey and the agent. In the video, i could see his head slightly wobble sideways. He was hit by a bullitt in the direction from the corner of the bleachers. See the blue arrow.
There definitely was a bullet hitting the back railing before an audible shot was heard by everyone. Based on the testimony of the Hercules 2 counter sniper, bullets which were supersonic but suppressed would have had no muzzle report. People who were near the path the of the bullet would have heard it pass by - but it’s unknown how big a radius that would be.
As far as I know, no one from those right hand bleachers has been interviewed to find out if any of them heard or didn’t hear any bullets whizzing by. And no videos from the time of the shots from that bleacher section have been produced.
Clearly several people in the back row were spooked. The white shirt, red hat guy looks like he was shot, and he might have been. If he wasn’t critically wounded, that injury might have been kept quiet.
The man two people to the viewer’s left in the blue shirt and red cap seems to be ducking, and the guy four people to his left in the white shorts and the red/white Hawaiian print type shirt has a BIG flinch type reaction.
For now, I’m just glad to know the sound on those right hand bleachers videos does match the visuals.
Found this trashy report. I don’t know if it was circulated widely before.
You can tell Ron Rowe wrote the press release, or at least had a hand in it, because the phrase “paradigm shift” is in the slender notice twice:
"The U.S. Secret Service’s mission assurance report found that multiple operational and communications gaps preceded the July 13 attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. This included a deficiency of established command and control, lapses in communication, and a lack of diligence by agency personnel. The U.S. Secret Service’s Office of Integrity is reviewing the findings and the accountability process is underway.
“Informed by the results of this report, Acting Director Ronald L. Rowe has developed a plan for an agency-wide paradigm shift that will address the issues identified in the report and help the agency meet the increasing demands of a dynamic threat environment. This plan focuses on increasing and retaining the agency’s personnel, modernizing our technology, and building a sustainable training strategy. The Secret Service is working with Congress to dramatically increase the agency’s resources so that we can make this paradigm shift a reality and ensure that a tragedy like July 13 never happens again.”
As far as I can tell, “paradigm shift” basically means the same thing as “What can be, unburdened by what has been,” and should be mocked as mercilessly. Basically you review what works, what doesn’t, and what works but can be improved. You go from there.
Let me explain this way:
When someone is not dead, we cannot say he was shot dead.
Probably, when there is only a scratch by bullet, lawyers don’t say he was shot - I guess. Perhaps they may say he was shot at.
