So far Trump says "I'm fine" to the press, saw it about 4 or 5 minutes ago.
That bullet GRAZED his ear. We were THIS fucking close to an assassination.
Thank god for the new CIA's DEI hiring.
Nah this was probably some schizo. If they really wanted him dead he'd be dead.
Fidel Castro died of natural causes. Saddam had to be physically captured. They never got Assange OR Snowden.
The Feds actually kinda suck at assassinations.
This is a really important point to hammer home.
Yes, the feds are legitimately terrifying to have as an enemy, and if you ever end up being seen as a serious threat by them, never become overconfident or complacent.
BUT, also don't think of them as being like literal supervillains with supernatural powers and plot armor. Yes, they're extremely dangerous, but they're not invincible. And tbf, because they know that Americans by and large no longer acknowledge their moral legitimacy, the best they can do to manufacture consent at this point is to convince the public that they're omnipotent and omniscient.
JFK? MLK?
Yeah. I lean towards an ANTIFA troon who was off the deep end and bungled the job.
Supposedly it was four hundred feet and change with a scoped rifle. This suggests a completely amateur shooter. Because to me that shot is cake.
100% points to someone who doesn't know firearms. If you're gonna be using a .22, you have to compensate for the wind. That guy missed his shot and panic-shot the rest as the Secret Service rearranged his ugly underbite-ridden jaw.
Someone who is a gun bro, I was reading he was using a modified AR-15 platform to allow for .22 bullets to be used?
I'm not going to pretend that I'm any firearms expert, but he's standing at a podium, not going to be making any sudden, wild movements that you would have to consider. Seems like an easy job for someone with some experience.
It zipped across his cheek and nipped his ear pretty well, by all appearances. It's possible another shot grazed him as there looked like another line-wound lower from his cheek, possibly when he turned his head and looked down as he reached for his ear.
