with a photo like this I can't believe this wasn't staged

I honestly don't think it is. You wouldn't risk killing your guy for a false flag.

As if intelligence agencies haven't trained terrorist groups for suicidal attacks in the past

I think Yogthos is not using "your guy" to talk about the perpetrator but about Trump. There is no way someone would try to stage a false flag by making someone shoot at a person's ear with a sniper rifle at a distance of 150 m. As Yogthos implies, you have a bigger chance of killing your guy than actually succeeding.

Edit: Without an optic on his rifle, on top of all.

I honestly couldn't even see the bullet wound

You mean this bullet wound? Part of his helix is gone. You can see very well where did the bullet hit.

I sincerely can't... I can only see what appears to be blood smeared all over his intact ear

Once again, his ear's helix becomes discontinued in the two portions where the bullet impacted (of course, the two wounds from where he's bleeding).

Search for illustrations of parts of the external ear on your search engine of choice and you will see that the helix is a fold that has continuity from the helical crus all the way to the lobule.

Camera crews had like 20s between the shots and these images. Plenty of time to get oats initial shock and take images.

If there is one person stupid enough to fistpump and make himself an easier target at a moment like this it's Trump.

Adrenaline is one helluva drug.

A professional photographer took a professional photo? Say it ain't so!
