AccidentalRenaissance is for photos that look like Renaissance paintings.
This means that they look like Renaissance art in their composition, their coloring, their saturation, the angle of the scene, the types of settings, etc.
๐ Must be a photo. Not a meme, drawing, art, ai-generated or ai-enhanced image, screenshot, low-effort post, meta posts, video, or anything else but a photo.
๐ Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".
๐ Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.
๐ The Renaissance part (not the photo itself) must be accidental to the photograph. In other words, no photos of Renaissance fairs, people dressed in medieval/Renaissance clothes, etc.
๐ NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.
๐ธ If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.
๐ฉโ๐ฆฏ Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone.

That was the plan.
I strongly suspect this was a fabricated attempt. It wasn't some kind of impossible shot. Only reasons for it to have failed are an utter lack of ability on the part of the shooter, or it was supposed to miss.
A bad shooter is definitely possible, but it just smacks of an intentional attack made to enrage followers.
The shooter was under high stress. He probably didnโt have that many seconds to make the shot before he would be spotted by Secret Service.
According to reports he also used an AR-15, which is not ideal for that kind of range.
Initial reports are saying he was on the roof for several minutes. I'm sure more/better details will come in the following days.
As for the range, 125 yds is WELL within effective range for AR-15s and .223/5.56. Personally, mine is sighted for 220 yd so the ballistic markings are accurate out to 600 yds. There's a nearby 500 yd range that people frequently take their AR-15s to for longer range shooting. This is also considered "medium range" as far as rifles go.
