There's no way he just didn't exist before today but that seems to be the result of all the searches for his information. I'm seeing theories that he was a government plant, but I doubt the CIA/FBI would botch an operation like this. What I do believe is that the truth is being obfuscated.

My theory is that he wanted to kill that cop and Trump was just in the way.

tries to kill trump, refused to leave explanations

stalin chad

joking aside, it's better that they try this instead of shooting schools

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

i fully agree

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Idk but my running theory is that he didn't like him very much

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Many such cases.

Intrusive thoughts.

Dems spend 8 years doing nothing but screeching about how singularly evil this one individual is to the exclusion of all other messaging

Dems nominate the only person in the world loathed enough to lose to this bozo twice by completely dismantling the democratic process, the second time by nominating someone who 70% of voters have been saying is too fucking old for the last 12 months

Aforementioned fossil who is badly losing to Trump refuses to step aside because he's the same megalomaniacal dickhead he has been all his life, removing all democratic means of preventing the ascent of the aforementioned singularly evil individual

Truly we will never understand the motive

Downvoters fail to explain as always

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

I don't see down votes on hexbear dot net 😎

So I can have bad takes with impunity

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Actually, I think I get where the downvoters are coming from. If it were a regular lib, sure, but we've seen the gulag level takes this person had. Why would such a conservative person believe the Dems in just this case?

The score is +39/-4 but yeah I know y'all can't see them

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Hillary is also loathed tbh. Second choice gone.

Did he kill himself? Or was he killed by the cops?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

From what I've heard on Lemmy, he was killed by the Secret Service after he made his shot.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Secret service got him, he was only at 100 yards

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wasn't he a rank amateur? I really hoped they would try to get him alive.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He was shooting into a crowd of people, at least one person was killed. Shooting back at him was pretty much the only option

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

In the same breath, libs will thank the Secret Service for immediately killing the shooter and also say "violence is never an acceptable response."

That's probably the most succinct way to state the contradiction. You're OK with taking out an active shooter, but not with taking out someone who (as libs love to tell you) is about to hurt or kill people all over the world?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

they literally did say that in the interviews 10 minutes after it happened

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

The most shocking thing is the lack of any social media/online accounts.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

idk, I think the most shocking thing was that he tried to shoot Donald Trump

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not only that but as a registered republican out of all people! Scummy chuds are going crazy about this saying "he was not a real republican". Love seeing how the fash are infighting after this.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

In all seriousness, I don't think just because you're registered republican at the age of 20, that its some sort of massive ideological commitment. At that age, a lot of the time people just register for whatever most of their family is registered as.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

nah, the shocking thing is that more people havent tried

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Shooter was real shit aim.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Trump was insanely lucky actually

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yeah except if you had any sort of training you'd be aiming for center mass. Lot more meat instead went for the xXx420NoScopexXx.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

He was probably wearing bulletproof stuff

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure he had a vest, which is standard practice.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

M855A1 can be found in the secondary market. Ain't cheap, but he isn't wearing plate.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The goal posts are moving.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I mean, if you're going through the hastle, maybe youtube some videos on marksmanship or just go about your life.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

To sum up, you claimed that he was a bad shooter. Then when you were presented with evidence of being wrong proceeded to move goal posts instead of admitting it. 🤡

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Because he clipped his ear and was an inch away doesn't make him a good shooter.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Makes him an adequate shooter for the range he was shooting at. Just admit you were wrong instead of continuing to make a clown of yourself here.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's not and you'd know if you spent a day shooting with a competent instructor.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Guy shot for the head, and hit where he was aiming, but his target moved. Yet, here you are continuing to make a clown of yourself.
