He didn’t have a proper sniper with a good scope, it was just, reportedly, an “AR-15 style rifle.” In which case, good shot. Very good shot. That’s a long ways, and proper sniper equipment is hard to get and harder to conceal.
Edit: I had no clue how close this actually was, at the time of writing the details hadn’t been released. 150 yards… yeah even I could make that shot. How do you miss that…
Depending on the distance and wind, it might still be a bad shot. Trump was mostly a still silhouette. Any boot out of US Marine Corps boot camp would have hit him one out of two shots easy with an AR-15 from 500 yrds away in the prone position. Even more proficient if they were able to use any sort of support like a bipod.
Sure, a boot who was trained to use that rifle could have made the shot. So could a half decent hunter. But by all accounts this was just some dude, with no training, no scope, no bipod, and likely full knowledge of his impending death. Can’t really blame the guy for being a bit twitchy on the trigger.
Trump’s life has no positive value. The problem is that some of the unwell people who worship will make him a martyr, and amp-up the hate crimes, or doing something awful to people voting.
Best-case scenario, he loses the election then dies in a way that can’t be considered noble, or turn him into a hero. Drowning in diarrhea gets my vote.
I have no problem with the flag I carry at pride having a thick enough handle to deal with a problem if it arises.
I have no problem with punching nazis.
Trump will make the world a better place when he dies, I don’t want him to dies as some kind of hero.

What is it with assassin’s and being shit at their job? Dude was on a roof with a rifle and he wings his ear? This is Regan all over again.

Nonsense. Any decent AR15 with a scope you can buy from Bass Pro is sufficient for a beginner to make an easy shot like that all day.

And we all know how to stop those hate crimes, but we’re not allowed to talk about violence.

One thing is for certain: his grave will have the prettiest flowers and lushest grasses because of how many people will shit on it.
