Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Sure, there was the attempted assassination of Reagan and the fears for Obama as the first black President, but in those cases it was a lone nutter rather than a conspiracy.
How long can Trump crash the market before an angry billionaire decides to take him out? The remaining Koch brother is already pouring money into legal challenges against Trump...
i didn't say one kid saw him? And getting up there 20 minutes before the rally is not "a long time" that's 20 minutes. Should they have known about it? Yes, did they? Yes. Did the ground police do anything about it? No, because they didn't have functional communication.
i mean this is literally the one valid explanation for why this managed to happen at all, the only other option is that it was a complete conspiracy, and i've seen no evidence to support that, and given the fact that police, and secret service, are two different entities, i'm going to align with the former.
he wasn't "shot through the ear" the reporting is just wrong. It's evident from the video, from the bleeding, and from the wound, he simply wasn't "shot in the ear" he was grazed by a bullet at best, cut his ear on the way down at worst.
for a minor injury? Yeah it can. I've seen 2nd degree burns go away in a couple of days from ointment. Shits wack when you have the right tools for the job.
that's possible, but are there are any good circumstances for this to be the case? Even when he did stand up, SS was crowded around him, it would be very difficult to take a good shot from that point, at which point SS are likely watching like a hawk.
i mean yeah... If you watch the video, he literally does this. The most famous image of that year was literally him standing. Like idk why you're acting like this is WITHOUT A DOUBT proof that it's conspiracy, it's evident that it happened.
not everybody thinks clearly in situations like this, especially old people, the job of the SS is to protect him, if they deemed it unimportant, they would've carted him off sooner.
you can literally watch the video, the center mass of his body is very clearly blocked, the head is not a particularly good target, as evidenced by the fact that he fucking missed.
I mean yeah, to this particular event, but do you think his killing was a conspiracy?
i mean, it's literally just weird at best, i've seen weirder, look at any shooting through history. They're all weird as fuck.
