for someone with no (known) background, he was a good shot. Obviously not accurate enough, but that was a long distance

Personal responsibility isnāt one of their strong pointsā¦
Both of us using semantics and pragmatism puts us at cross purposes.
Thanks. Some interesting points.
Point 4 stands out. He either did a lot of homework or it was dumb luck in that he picked a spot that provided some advantage.
A lot more information on his activity and preparation will come out in the investigations into this. It will be interesting to see if he was searching for what to look for in finding a vantage point. Then how he managed to find one that wasn't manned?

Might be irrelevant but in some of the sports I play itās almost harder playing against less experienced players as they tend to be way more unorthodox and difficult to predict how theyāre going to play. The shooter is pretty young, perhaps lacking in experience and acting in a manner that is harder to plan for? But it does seem like a bad miss from the security team
I don't know, I think it's a good thing. Americans taking eachother out? The great reset! Let em go!!
Up the wahs
Apparently "Fight, fight, fight"

I think the way he reacted might actually win over swing voters though, it was almost heroic given the circumstances.
I'd vote for him (if I was American). Not because of his policies, but Biden is basically a nothing man in comparison right now. A bumbling fool
A week ago I would have said the complete opposite
Trump will take all the oxygen from the Democats and the news cycles.
Democrats really need some sort of circuit breaker right now
I'm just glad I don't live over there.
I had some people try to tell me that the shooter was planted, but the shooting was real...
I mean, I wouldn't rate Trump as having a particularly likeable personality, but I definitely think he's smarter than paying someone to shoot at his head....
Incitement is a conscious act by the perpetrator, incited is the reaction.
There is no way Trump, after nearly getting his head blown off, made a conscious decision to incite the crowd with a conscious act. However as per his self styled "tough guy" persona, his natural inclination would be say "fuck you, you cant kill me" which is an incredibly natural reaction to a near death experience, or brush with serious injury.
Infact his comment immediately after the Secret Service let him up was "Wait, let me get my shoes"

Yeah I saw his fist raise as an act of defiance to the assassination attempt āIām still hereā sort of thing rather than a call to arms of any kind
Reagan got shot, recovered and when the balloon popped during a speech he said "missed me'
That would be pretty bold when you're ahead in the polls and competitor is doing everything possible to go into a rest home.
On the flip side - blaming the democrats or left wing pundits... without acknowledging the culture around guns in the US. Nutty,
Why'd he take his shoes off lol?
