1. OFFS. He did NOT "take a bullet for the President," nor did he "protect his family from gunfire."

He didn't save his family. He was hit in the head before anyone knew what was happening.

The doctor at the scene who gave chest compressions to his body came up with the hero line to comfort his family, and his family ran with it. https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/14/politics/video/doctor-speaks-corey-comperatore-trump-newsnight-digvid

The doctor did not see Comperatore get hit, neither this guy Randy Reamer. As noted at the above link, the doctor only saw the aftermath: a woman screaming "He's been shot!," seeing Comperatore's body wedged in between the bleacher seats where he fell, surrounded by blood and "brain matter." The bullet basically blew off the top of his head. If he had been on top of his wife or daughter, the bullet would have hit them as well.

Actual witnesses to him getting shot indicate Comperatore was killed instantly, before he could be a hero to anyone.

Here's the description (at start to about 1:00) by a witness seated behind Trump:

Later in the interview, around the 5:00 mark, the witness gives more detail about the deceased, saying "his family watched it happen," saw him go down. He was obviously not crouching or laying over his family to protect them, he was just seated there next to them and got hit with a bullet right in the head and "went down." The witness goes on to say in that interview that it looked like the Kennedy (Zapruder film) footage, when the man's head snapped back and he went down.

The sad reality is Comperatore was just another victim of a mass shooting involving an assault rifle. His candidate of choice does not want to do anything about mass shootings nor assault rifles.

2. On his Facebook page, he had posted "Don't tread on my . . .

. . . Second Amendment rights."

I disagree with the political views which he held, but he seemed to be a hard-working man dedicated to his family.

3. He was a gun nut killed by gun nut.

I see no reason to make shit up about him to make him into some kind of a saint. He wasn't. He loved his guns so much he was willing to install a fascist dictator in our country and deprive half of Americans (women) of their bodily autonomy. And he was the father of daughters! That's some "dedication."

4. yet he took his family to a rally for a megalomaniac.
