No one tried to shoot him. The guy was a protestor. Someone else shouted out 'gun' and then the confusion happened.

Re: US Election 2016
I can't help wondering about how the next election in 4 years can top this one...

Still, when did this news story break? 3 hours ago. Interesting how the top trending stuff on Facebook at the moment has Barack Obama, Clinton Foundation and Julian Assange, all at 1 Million people discussing this. Oh the Irony.

Still he should be remembered as the man that denied the CIA of their utterly horrendous idea of killing their own citizens to start a war. If that was public knowledge at the time he'd have been untouchable and the CIA would've been burnt to the ground. Its now a theory that he paid with his life for that decision. My thoughts are I don't believe LHO killed him or LHO did pull the trigger but never acted alone, I'm completely uncertain on what actually happened and what to believe. Its probably the only conspiracy out there with theories that could later be true.

Facebook trends are personalised. What people will see is somewhat dependent on their friends list, pages they liked etc.

Doesn't remove the fact that they are top trending and the new FBI investigation update, wasn't at the time of my earlier post. Shows what people are mostly talking about. Although since my post last night, Comey is now showing 1 Million 'talking about this'.

Yes but it also means other users will be seeing different things. Facebook is a bubble, it does not reflect wider society. If I was to go by my social network feed then Clinton would win in a blowout, Remain would have won and Ed Miliband would be Prime Minister.

I never said anything about 'winning' Damien, it's about what is being talked about the most across the Facebook platform.
This is from Facebook itself:
Quote:
Trending shows you a list of topics and hashtags that have recently spiked in popularity on Facebook. This list is personalized based on a number of factors, including Pages you've liked, your location and what's trending across Facebook.
|
So it does trend what is across the whole of Facebook. Not just redundant to what I like or my friends.

Re: US Election 2016
It literally says just above then it you had in bold that it's personalised. For example I am just seeing sports stuff this morning.

He did, he got that fundamentally wrong and I put that down to him not actually watching it and or interpreting it right either that or the campaign team have and they have not read the situation right either and fed him duff information.
Vast majority of Trump supporters, are anti-Obama, so he's feeding them a narrative, telling them what they want to hear. I don't think it would have fitted in with their agenda, Trump praising Obama. Trump wins supporters, I guess by dissing the current serving President and Hillary, which let's face it, the pair do not have a good track records while in Office.

Re: US Election 2016
I hate negative campaigning and would be more reluctant to vote for anyone who spent their time denigrating their opponents that stating what they want to positively do. Other agree and is likely one reason our local MP retained his seat with increased majority.
Would be fun if the American public went out and voted for one of the "others" en-mass. Just to see the look on the faces of both Trump and Clinton when neither get in.
