I call bullshit on this one.

Remember the first video of the dead roof guy?

He said they got the wrong guy

While he had two years to practice and get better, his comments leave me wondering about additional shooters

His voter registration card is meaningless - anyone can register as anything.

The videos do not show panic in the crowd. Many actually looked like they were scanning for a nearby shooter.

Those two could not see the sniper, as trees were in their way.

That's the North building team, they didn't have a shot, their view was obstructed by the trees along the property line near the building. Also consider the optics they're using are likely setup for an engagement much further away than where the shooter was set-up. He had to pull-away, reset his eyes so he's not strictly looking through the magnified soda-straw and attempt to require a sight-picture.
Don't fixate on just the one counter-sniper team, there was another team (they'd have been behind this team, to the right) that we've not seen any images/video of.

I don’t know why anyone would doubt any of the claims about this incident that get posted on the Internet. After all, we know that there were two (at least) shooters, the dead guy was Chinese, President Trump was injured by flying pieces of teleprompter, and other true facts I’ve no doubt already forgotten prolly because I was born the same year he was. Roll Eyes

I’m not going to post guidance for would-be assassins (will leave that to countless others on the ’net), but just like another shooter long ago who missed an entire car from less than 100 yards, someone who cranks off multiple shots at high speed and only manages to seriously injure three untargeted individuals in a large crowd doesn’t get the marksman of the year award from me. In fact, it is sort of what I would expect from someone who was not able to qualify for a shooting team.

Yes, his evident target was grazed by one of the multiple shots, but that was no doubt due more to chance than skill.

And by way of comparison, I recently held patrol rifle (ARs with red dot sights) training for a number of moderately-skilled shooters. One stage was to engage an almost man-sized target from 200+ yards (not the 130 or so that’s being claimed for this incident). Shooting from a kneeling supported position (that isn’t as stable for most shooters as prone), everyone got at least 80% hits, and most of the shooters didn’t miss more than a shot or two out of 20 rounds.

Everything else going on aside, this one thing is an irrefutable fact. All the worst atrocities in the world have followed on the heels of the perpetrators being told the victims are inhuman, or less than human. For a long time, now, we to the right of center have been painted by those on the other side as monstrous - a threat to their very existence. The people I know with conservative values just want to be left alone, and yet the other side is told we want to carry out genocide against those whose values we don't agree with. I can't imagine anything further from the truth, and the restraint shown yesterday in the wake of this speaks to that.


We have to remember that this was a man that someone tried to kill. Most of us would have said "Fuck this" He defiantly said to his assassin "FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT".

This is the guy who tried to strip Trump of his Secret Service protection after the bogus NY conviction, and he's also the one whose field director got fired today for saying "Don't miss next time."

These people have no shame. Look at this fool trying to backpedal, and getting stomped in the process.

Yes. Keep visibility and pressure on the hypocritical fucks. Push them out and make them irrelevant.

I can not figure out how to embed a tweet. But this is a new video showing the moments after the shooter got on to the roof, and starting to crawl up towards the peak of the roof.

The video is shot from the west, facing east.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; . . . who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.”
