This is not grounded in anything other than my own cynicism ..
I watched the footage of the shooting and the interviews after, and the video of the counter sharpshooter on the roof who managed to shoot the gunman.
I am also aware that Trump had been relatively on the quiet side post debate.
Watching the interviews and reading some articles there are a few things..
1/
1. Trump was rattled but not enough to keep his head protected. SS tried to keep him down, but he nearly knocked the female SS agent in the front when he was determined to stand up and get his arm pump in the air.
2. I thought an AR-15 had a louder sound.
3. How did Crooks get on the roof of an adjacent building?
4. I thought an AR-15 fired many more rounds than that in a short time frame.
I would not be shocked at all if the Trump campaign reached out to this kid and promised him a get out of jail free card and cash. "To help the country from falling into the hands of Dems." "
I HATE that my mind has jumped to this possibility. It just shows me that despite my ingrained propensity to dispense kindness and optimism, that I too can be negatively affected by the power of rancid and vile words that float through out airwaves.
@ChippySuave I need to see proof before I go that far. So many people would have to be involved to make that happen. And be ok with the loss of life.
@bmacmixer Fair! I do not like that my brain went that far.
@ChippySuave These days I think all our brains contemplate different realities when we don’t know what the source of chaos is. I first thought fake because of his moronic WWE fist pump until there were two dead bodies. Then I thought oh this is real and he is an egotistical moron. Just to name a few dysfunctions.
@ChippySuave a lot of things did not make sense in the video, behaviors on and off camera, and eye witness testimonies. It is also crazy that the digital footprint of this kid is miniscule. Definitely a lot to ponder. Fair skepticism, shared. Thx for saying what I think many have thought.
I would amend your theory to add kid was to shoot up the area without shooting people but he had no training.
Nothing really surprises me anymore.
@ChippySuave
It gets better.
Knowing that the Secret Service would have a counter sniper, who would only need 1 shot to neutralize the threat, there would no payout, no pardon, no loose ends.
