At least 20 Trump supporters may have been attacked covertly by chemicals or a high-power laser at a Trump rally in Tucson on September 12. Some victims suffered severe burns. Many were temporarily blinded, with symptoms lasting until today. Others may have been affected but have yet to be identified. The fact that all those known to have been affected were sitting on the stage immediately adjacent to President Trump is important in understanding the significance of what happened.
The victims were all part of a “Latinos for Trump” group on the stage. President Trump shook hands with them as he walked to the podium. But what they believed was

Two possibilities, if a laser - which is my first guess:
The "shooter" was somewhere to that side of the audience and was using an automatic range finder. But the range finder couldn't lock on to Trump, so it locked on to the average distance on which to focus. People in the middle of that group should be the ones most affected. Lasers DO need to focus. Even the very best lasers spread. Infrared sounds like a military item as opposed to public.
The second possibility is that the "shooter" planned to get the crowd. If Trump won't stop holding Rallies for himself, then they may feel if they harm the people around him, he may change. Also, visually he would be less effective with crowds around him, and an easier target.

Sounds like someone in the audience with a burning laser pointer targeting these people.

This is today's left....vicious, unprincipled and willing to do anything to people who disagree with them. Aim a laser at my eyes and I might aim something back that's worse than a laser.

If leftist and progressive Democrat supporters are willing to shoot Trump to death, who would think that they also would not utilize dangerous lasers or other clandestine weapons to knock out Trump and his supporters. Remember when Biden publicly remarked that it was time to put a “bullseye” on Trump, obviously from recent happenings on Trump’s life and now this attack on Trump supporters, Biden was giving “nut jobs” a hint with his “bullseye” comment. Just another indication that the leftist and progressive Democrats will do or say anything to maintain their political power!

First, I hope the victims will recover fully.
Finding this evil vermin and using the laser on him should be a priority effort.
Powerful green lasers are available, and this kind evil folks have damaged the eyes of pilots in aircraft on landing approach, although I haven't heard of this sort of attack in recent years. My bet is that the perp has been showing his laser off to friends and neighbors, and is known to be a severe TDS nutcase.
I'm a proponent of punishing criminals by giving them the same treatment they did to their victims.

Re #2, commercially available US laser rangefinders are eye safe.
Possibly a military grade foreign made rangefinder, from a foreign hit team?
More likely an American TDS nutball trying to harm Trump supporters or Trump.

This is a criminal act. I hope someone is investigating, and not the FBI.

Naah, #6. Put the lasermeister in a decompression chamber and suck out all the air instantaneously. His eye will do more than bulge (like Luca Brasi's as he was being garrotted by Bruno Tattagia's wireman).

I think they are correct that it is a laser beam weapon, but it is not infrared. Infrared would make you feel hot as you would in front of a heat lamp. The victims did not feel heat at the time. They experienced sunburn. Sunburn is produced by the ultraviolet radiation from the sun. On an overcast day you can feel cool, but still get a bad sunburn. The overcast blocks the infrared but not the ultraviolet.
I know that NASA has cameras that take pictures in the ultraviolet’s range of the radiation spectrum, but i don’t know if any of them have video capabilities. If they do, one could be used to scan the area for the infrared source.

The last should be, to scan for the ultraviolet source.

Infra red light can be viewed with a cell phone camera. If you point a TV remote at your camera and press any button, the light is visible. A large emission source could be determined through video taken from the stage area towards direction of the source.

Well, obviously this was an alien attack.
