Let's stage an assasination by letting our patsy shoot real bullets at the president, is sillier than two LEO orgs not agreeing who's jurisdiction a shed is.
It's no sillier than any other false flag attack. They might not have cared if they killed him, either. Trump as a martyr and a more predictable guy in charge has a lot of appeal for many on the right.
Do we know he shot real bullets, anyway? If you're planning on your patsy getting shot, one of the many benefits of that is that you might not get the type of investigation you'd have if you're going to charge the guy with a crime. Maybe you have a second shooter and give your patsy blanks.
Yes, because a racist firefighter standing behind Trump caught one of the strays and died.
Please just internalize that the US has many psychos with guns. This guy was in his early 20s and worked at a retirement home. If you don't know the significance of that, ask before arguing further. He googled both Biden's and Trump's campaign rally stops and Trumps was closest. Crooks would've shot up his old elementary school but decided he wanted to be better. It all adds up.
Eurohicks will only see a well aimed photo out of hundreds and think "that's too good to be true - it must've been staged". There's USA flags all over any Trump rally as well as photographers. The idea that one would get a line on the other while Trump musters some chincey WWE pose in between is easy to conceive.
If you're familiar with the trends in america you'll understand it as a natural consequence and one to expect in the future.
I'm not saying no bullets were fired. I'm asking if we know the bullet that killed the firefighter were from Crooks' gun.
