  • Attempted headshot? Really? If you know you're not skilled enough for it, go for the gut.

    This pretty much guarantees he's going to win now. Dems would have to run a (performative) progressive with a pulse at this point and they would never.

    • sounds like a small caliber pistol too. i haven't been able to figure out how far he was from trump, but it was further than anyone who isn't decently trained could easily make under pressure.

      edit: pics and some reporting was that he was on a raised container of some sort, about 100meters away, and other videos have the sound much clearer. definitely an AR or something

      • The angle of the grazes on his face made me think it came from below, not super close because they're not crazy steep, but not far enough away to make them horizontal, because they go from mouth to top of ear. Idk how someone could shoot that many times from the front-of-stage area without getting tackled, though.

        Edit: totally wrong – they were on a roof nearby

    • Not so much about skill but shooting out of a small gun in a crowd, you obviously should go center mass. Although since it was certainly a very low caliber gun it was unlikely to work immediately either way.

  • How fucking stupid. There's no calculus where that ends well. If they got him, it would hand the election to whatever republican they swap in and their platform is the exact same. By missing they turn a bad candidate into a martyr and increase his chances no matter who the democrats go with. Biden is sure to crack down on the left regardless of who did it and it will absolutely be a Reichstag fire if Trump wins. I am so curious about who the shooter is because they're one of the biggest dumbasses to ever live.
