This is how I learned someone had tried to shoot Trump.
Also this is a great example of why desperately needs the ability for us to turn off replies on posts: if I were someone with much of a following, it's the kind of post that would invite discussion of the wisdom of shooting a president (FTR, I think it's stupid), which is one of many free speech nullifiers under US law.
