Someone shot Trump's ear

LT42 So they hired a guy who couldn’t hit his target with a scope from 150 yards

I didn’t mean hiring (although, who knows as we speculate). I’m not saying I have the answer, none of us do. I just find some of this interesting.

It would be difficult for any of us to really imagine what it would take for someone to feel motivated to carry out a suicide mission to kill someone in politics.

There was a girl on the news who went to school with him (graduating 2022) and she said he was just a chilled happy guy. He excelled in history (particularly interested in politics) and maths, and now at 20 years old was working as a chef at a local care home. Some speculation surfaced that if he planned it enough in advance, he could have just registered to vote republican to get access to the event if it was needed, and plant the gun somewhere to pick it up on the day.

Shooting a moving target, no matter the range, is not an easy task. Especially a head shot. He wasn’t using a sniper rifle, and he was 135 metres away.

I don’t condone the violence but it was by no means a bad shot IMO - and if he’d shot 0.2 seconds earlier before trump looked more right in the speech, he probs would have taken the back of Trumps head off instead of nicking the ear after he turned.

These pics also surfaced (probably stills from a video?) you can see the bullet whizzing past on the far left if you zoom in.
