  The onion just ran an article that stormtroopers were seen fleeing the rally afterwards.

  tbf, Crooks wasn’t a trained assassin, and was shooting from 130m away

    i dont get this narrative. little to no experience and hes inches away from a killing headshot at that distance. thats fucking hard as hell to do

      someone in another thread was like, “he had a scope!” and i’m like, “so? have you ever shot through a scope? it’s not like a video game where scope guarantees a headshot. it just makes it a bit easier.”

      130m is really far, and an AR isn’t a sniper rifle anyway

      Should’ve used a magic bullet.

      I read in another thread that he may have hit a teleprompter and pieces from that caused the wound.

    Also, a local police officer was alerted to him. The cop then went up there, where he says Crooks pointed his rifle at him and he retreated to get help. So this added a bunch of stress and dramatically cut the time frame to take his shot. I think this may have played into the miss, assuming what the cop was reported saying, is what happened

      That’s a massive fuckup if there was someone on the roof with a rifle, and that wasn’t communicated to the secret service.

      i read another post that really pissed me off about the cops’ response. apparently, they saw him scoping out buildings with a rangefinder for a while beforehand, and watched him set up and take the shot without doing much to stop him.

    He apparently was rejected from his shooting group due to inability to aim.

  I thought he actually did quite well tbh. Unless he wasn’t aiming for a headshot…

      His brain is about this size 🧠 inside with the rest being full of chaff and dog poop. So I mean, that’s pretty small.

  Funny but doubt that actually happened tbh

    Maybe not, but what’s the point in falsely attributing it to someone else instead of just saying it yourself?

  Yes, but they shot Tupac from a much closer distance.
