Also, the crowd not fleeing on the spot like with the Charlie Kirk assassination.

A guy literally got shot to death behind trump. Just because the audience doesn't have any survival instincts doesn't mean it's staged.

"Staged" could mean:

  1. They planned to let the guy get a gun close then nab him without shooting, but fucked up.
  2. They planned to let a bad shot take a shot and then execute him.
  3. They had a patsy on the roof and a real shooter elsewhere, who planned to either miss (and succeeded) or hit (and fucked up).

All of which would involve a real bullet actually killing someone, just not Trump.
