Thomas Matthew Crooks did not do enough aim training.

From Wikipedia:

Crooks fired from a roof outside the rally venue using an AR-15–style semi-automatic rifle, firing eight rounds before being killed by a sniper from the Secret Service Counter Assault Team.

Dude had 8 fucking attempts. Thats almost too unbelievable.

Ok, the conspiracy shit is already old. 0% chance it was rigged.

You mean the party known for lying and falsification didn't have an assassin plant meant to take the fall for the planned assassination attempt against the fascist presidential candidate in order to further bolster the support from his allies and voters?

There's no way this wasn't staged. And quite frankly, if the repubs are allowed to make up stuff, so is everyone else.

I mean I don't think you can shoot an just ear even as a controlled joke, much less from that distance...

You actually think Donald Trump agreed to put himself in the firing line of a gun with live ammo? People died bud. Think more critically.

it's a 20 year old dude, almost a kid, who has a documented historical record of being SHIT at aiming.

why the fuck would they get THAT person to botch an assassination? What if he tried to miss and accidentally hit instead?
