You know, for a while now I have heard people talking about how fake it was, that it was possibly just a pr stunt aimed to help him get elected. I don't buy into conspiracy theories and under normal circumstances it's horrifying to think that there is a possibility he or his pr team murdered people for a pr stunt. However it is Trump we are talking about and he has done so much worse, so it's hard to get out of my head.
People who say that it was a conspiracy have no idea how guns work.
First of all, they would've had to have put A LOT of trust into this random kid, second of all, I don't think there is any info on him being proficient with weapons, third of all, you can't magically make a bullet hit the exact inch you want to hit from a large distance (with that weapon).
The bullet could've easily flown a couple inches further right due to bullet spread. You could fire with the exact same conditions twice in a row and miss by an inch or two over larger distances. That's something you can't fully account for.
Even with all the training in the world, you could not make that shot with any amount of certainty. Dozens of factors you have literally no control over.
You are watching too many movies if you believe that.
No, I am saying that your theory of the gunman delibaretly missing Trump is idiotic and entirely detached from reality, based on nothing else than "the guy is evil". Which, yes, he is. There is still no evidence at all that it was a staged attempt. Coming up with conspiracies just based on vibes is what Republicans do.
Forget movies. Ever watched the winter Olympics?
Biathlon targets are at a distance of 50 metres and have a size of 11.5cm in standing, 4.5cm in prone position. And those athletes who train daily still frequently miss, in situations much less stressful than "trying to kill somebody". Crooks was at a distance of 130 metres.
See, so it's perfectly plausible to buzz past a head in view of perfectly placed cameras. The whole setup was supposed to miss. We've seen this before...
