Alright what do you guys think? Deep state assassination attempt or lone wolf? My gut says no lone wolf could reasonably get this close to nailing him, but that a deep state assassination attempt wouldn't miss unless intentional, but attempting to kill and failing only helps Trump.
Deep state, but they paid some unstable tranny to shoot him because it thinks trump is gonna hunt them all down for sport. That's my bet.
Given how some in my circle talk I half expect the shooter to be a guy I know.
Yea, even if it was the deep state, they'd have to cover their asses and have a patsy pull the trigger in case he gets caught. And patsies usually aren't the most reliable because you have to take who you can get.
I literally just saw a meme today poking fun at the chain of assassins to kill Padme in Episode 2, but honestly, Palpatine REALLY wouldn't want anyone capable of following the chain all the way back to him.
The deep state creates lone wolves by saying "love this" / "hate this enough to kill it" on all channels until someone does. They do have a very large organization with a chain of command but they prefer to not get caught, so they use the media to incite other people to take action.
Probably some lone schizo. An actual assassination attempt by the Deep State 1) doesn't hit a friendly and 2) actually tries with something more than a pistol or light rifle.
Certainly possible. I said right after the fortified election in 2020 that I wouldn't be shocked if they offed Joe, but in retrospect I was seriously underestimating just how unpalatable Kamala is to even the deep state. Genuine leftist lunatic is a possibility, and if so the fault also lies with the entire media apparatus.
Initial impression was lone wolf. Leaning more toward deep state now that it turned out it was a rifleman on a roof, not a dude with a handgun in the crowd.
Initial impressions are always sketchy, but I've heard everything from 150 meters to "several hundred yards." If that wasn't shrapnel, that's a fairly decent shot and, depending on range, could be a pretty damn amazing shot.
Either botched or very unlucky professional job, is now my at least current impression.
The consensus seems to be that it was a dude who climbed up a roof behind the rally and had a clear shot with a rifle from around 150 yards away. Secret service fucked up big time, intentionally or unintentionally. Eye witness account is circulating on Twitter saying people were frantically pointing the shooter out to police for a couple minutes before he fired. We'll see if more info comes out put that looks to be what happened as of now.
Yeah, not explicitly pro-level, but still pretty decent to get that close to a killshot for a casual.
And, yeah, SS fucked up, one way or the other. Lunacy.
