Setting some odd stuff aside, like how the shooter was able to get onto such a close roof, despite people seeing him get up there. What really makes me curious is why the guy was such a bad shot.
Was it nerves, inexperience, or was the intent to make Trump into a martyr? I have to assume he probably was hoping for “suicide by cop”, and if your going to end things what do you have to lose but make everyone forget that he was just convicted and everyone now knows about his rapey, pedo past. Just makes you think… ya know?
inexperienced. head shots are not what professionals go for... that's only if you want to show off. also there are reports Trump moved his head right before it happened and that could have saved his life. Yet another reason you don't go for the head.
Always aim for the crotch, it would have been way funnier to clip it.
But then you're shooting a probably full diaper depending on how long it had been since he'd been changed.
Imagine having like 10 secret service guys shove his face into the spilled diaper remnants.
According to Stormy Daniels, that's a much smaller target
Thought the same, but maybe he was aiming center mass? Doesn't take much of to be off at 300" with iron.
In any case, you're right, he was certainly inexperienced.
At 300 inches I could hit him with a putting wedge.
He wears body armor now though
I think there was a photo showing a hit center mass, but people under the protection of secret service usually wear vests during campaign stops and rallys
I know the photo you are talking about and I had that same impression at first. That was a red hat that looked like blood on his torso, though.
