Insane they didn't pull Trump off stage earlier

Also gives context about the pressure and very short time frame the shooter was under to get his shot off

Explains why he missed tbh, being rushed like that. He was there for Trump and no one else apparently. Also explains the SS snipers looking panicked before the first shots fired.

Wait wait wait this was a 400 foot shot, not a 400 yard shot?

SS fucking slacking, not having control of that space. I guess they had control of it via sniper coverage but that's just poor planning.

This should not be overlooked. The man that was killed was a former Fire Chief that dove on top of his wife and two children to shield them from the gunfire.

RIP to the victim, he certainly didn't deserve that. It's just fucking wrong though that the malicious orange bastard lives to cause more chaos yet the Hard Working Fire Chief who didn't deserve this was the one to be killed. Political Violence should be condemed of course but at the same time the injustice that the Republicans who have been riling up the gun nuts for years are able to get away with it scot free is a fucking joke.

Curious if Trump handpicked his Secret Service team and ensured their loyalty. It would be quite amusing if this turned out to be the C-team of the department because he kept replacing members until he assembled his loyal crew, only for them to end up being a bunch of screw-ups.

That's what it saying. That's a layup if you have any amount of time on that weapon.

Yeah a 130ish yard shot is nothing. That's basic training "I can teach this to 10 year olds in an afternoon" range shooting.

If Trump had been sentenced on July 11th like he was supposed to this wouldn't have happened

Tl;dr the Supreme Court is in on it

Omg. I just remembered something from the movie, "Conspiracy Theory". I couldn't find the clip but here is the dialogue:

Jerry : David Berkowitz, Ted Bundy, Richard Speck...

Alice : What about them?

Jerry : Serial killers. Serial killers only have two names. You ever notice that? But lone gunmen assassins, they always have three names. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, Mark David Chapman...

Alice : John Hinckley. He shot Reagan. He only has two names.

Jerry : Yeah, but he only just shot Reagan. Reagan didn't die. If Reagan had died, I'm pretty sure we probably would all know what John Hinckley's middle name was.

I guess it doesn't count because Trump didn't die.. but maybe he was, "meant" to by whoever brain washed the shooter and it's all a conspiracy!

Or it's just that some people tend to identify with their full names more than others and it's purely coincidental lol

It's better for their ratings if they run with the MAGA spin that he's a leftist.

[Meresgi]

that and he kept asking me for launch codes

It's easy to miss by 6 inches on your first shot in a setup - wind, elevation difference, moving target, not to mention being under extreme duress.

Good article about the $15 donation to a progressive PAC the then-17 year old shooter made on Biden's inauguration day
