I hate that we live in a society that tell you you're not allowed to have an opinion on something unless you are an expert. "oh so are you a doctor?!" talking about basic health, or in this situation "unless you were a sniper shut up" is something i was told just yesterday.
unlucky for you, below is a picture of me at sniper school, and on top of that i have personally worked presidential security details.
This is my opinion after going over the details over and over again and its only really 3 possibilities.
1. the right staged it
2. the left did it
3. it was the single most pitiful security detail that has ever existed
im a centrist who says fuck both sides honestly. I want to be open about that. but things arent adding up.
how was that roof not secured? How did they keep Trump on stage 3 whole minutes after being alerted about the shooter? There appears to be video of the counter snipers taking him a second after firing his first shot?
but that could just be when they had a line of site on him after he lifted his head to take his own shots?
but these are questions that need to be asked no matter what. How was Trump only injured in the tip of the ear? Though i did see a report that said the injury was from a shattered teleprompter and not the round itself. (this would explain that)
what i really hate though are people who make disengenuous attempts at defending their point.
"how did the right stage it if someone in the crowd died?"
again i dont know enough to speak in definitives, but that argument is stupid. If i was malicious and in that position to make the scenario seem more real i would also pop a random person in the crowd. Again im not even saying thats what happened, im just pointing out the holes in your own argument you used to defend your point.
the thing that is scariest no matter what is this is a worse case scenario.
if the right and trump faked it to secure the election our country is fucked
if the left did it to make sure he didnt get elected, our country is fucked
and finally if its neither of those and a 20 year old nobody successfully landed shots on one of the most powerful men in the world we are in a bad fucking place
there is basically no scenario where we shouldnt be extremely worried.
We need to find some way to come together or this is nothing but mutually assured destruction for us.
