WERE THOSE GUNSHOTS AT THE KERRY RALLY???

[Hoffnung]

Anyone else heard that on C-SPAN?

[elcondor]

1. G-d I heard that too

Someone tell me I'm wrong!!!!!!!!

[berner59]

3. no...

doesn't look like any mayhem going on there... Maybe firecrackers...

[elcondor]

8. I could see that people were calm

after the noises, but I still panicked for a moment. My emotions are so high right now! Thanks! :-)

[RevCheesehead]

5. You're wrong.

Firecrackers, most likely.
Secret service looked, but did not jump.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

15. Wait a minute, I thought all the crackers were at the bush rally?

:hi:

[Lefty48197]

25. Hey! I'm President of "Rednecks for Kerry"

.

[Skip Intro]

23. But there'd be people running away screaming

at least some of them, right? There'd be a commotion, and I didn't see one.

I cannot believe we are talking about this, and I wouldn't put it past the loons on the right.

The bastards would try it, wouldn't they?

DamnI dont even want to think about it.

[OneMoreDemocrat]

2. No, that was Van Halen.

.

[Hoffnung]

6. No those were definitely loud bangs

because if got everyones attention in the crowd and looks like the SS kind of rushed him out

[feistydem]

18. Now you're really freaking me out!

I didn't see that but I did notice that CSPAN cut away right at that moment when those cracks sounded.

[HFishbine]

4. Just a couple of

freeper heads exploding.

[sendero]

9. Damn....

... now someone will have to get out a mop and clean up the pudding :)

[Lex]

13. Bwahahahaa!

Good one, HFishbine!

[XanaDUer]

7. Everything seems fine in the aftermath of the rally

Could be some sad freepers...

[feistydem]

10. I freaked about the same thing, then when no one reacted on the TV

I figured it was fireworks.

Isn't that sad that we have to worry about that?

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

16. I heard it, too.

[liveoaktx]

11. I heard it too and then they cut away from Kerrry

scared the crap out of me, but the crowd didn't seem panicked.

[meisje]

12. Echo or drums maybe

[napi21]

14. I doubt it! I have cspan on the Ohio rally. It's live!

If it would have been gun shots, trust me, you would have known by now!

You know, one of the new things they seem to be using at a lot of these rallys is a confetti canon that shoots confetti after the speech. Remember, one was fired a bit early at a shrub speech the other day, and even shrub freaked! I suspect that's what you heard.

[Hoffnung]

17. No they had already fired earlier and I didnt hear that

It was a volley of bangs not a single one like at the Bush rally

[napi21]

19. If nobody at the rally reacted, there's not a problem.

I wasn't watching at the time, so I don't have an opinion on what all of you heard, but I was watching the Bobby Kennedy rally the night he got shot! It's not what you hear, it's the crowd reaction you see!

[Hoffnung]

22. I saw serveral people looking in the direction of the "bangs"

no one panicked as I could see but C-SPAN cut away too quickly

[Captain Lance Bass]

20. It was shrub.....ending it

[tjdee]

21. Heard it too--but everyone seemed calm.

So it looks like everything is fine :)

[Journeyman]

24. Did Secret Service Agents take down Kerry & the rest in his entourage? . .

Did the event end in pandemonium and/or multiple arrests? If none of these events transpired, then logically you can conclude, there were no gunshots.

Gotta think these things through. And trust the Secret Service knows what its doing.

[Hoffnung]

26. He was almost out of the door

it did get their attention and looks like they hurried out but again C-SPAN cut away too soon.
