exchanged gunfire
makes it sound like little gift envelopes. "I showed u my calibre please return fire"
It’s reminiscent of headlines about Israeli missiles “finding their way into refugee camps” and other such euphemisms
the phrase that lives in my head is "kidnapped from his tank"
exchanged gunfire

Comrade, take my ammo! :soviet-chad:
:nyet:
No Comrade! Take mine! :left-unity-4:
Us Americans love guns but none of us can shoot straight it seems
Well except the guy who ventilated Charlie Kirk
*Allegedly
We can't rule out the possibility that his neck just did that.
Necks do, indeed, sometimes just do the weirdest shit.
Signed, a girl with medically dubious neck pain.
Counting or not counting Charlie Kirk?
If we are Charlie Kirk, and if we carry his flame, what will happen to our necks..?
The Deep State implanted a device in his neck and then detonated it

he died of high blood pressure
It was a terrible terrible accident
The bullet came from the camera!!1!1!1!1 /s
These lone wolves fucking suck at lone wolfing
I guess the lone wolves only need to get lucky once? More proof that adventurism doesn't accomplish anything though. Imagine if all these cranks worked together how much more they would accomplish

SCP writers creating a new canon:
redaction is great, it means I don't have to be imaginative, my readers take that effort on 
This but unironically
This but

fiber optic drone without any signature and 1000 km sq of search area for a suspect vs i take gun i shoot gun at 10 m sq area, best shot was at 90000 m sq. american adventurers are not intellectual to put it mildly.
Has there been a homegrown assassination/attempt using drones? They've been used to kill people for decades now but has anyone tried to use one in a credible attempt to kill a politician/other vip?
Probably stretches the definition of homegrown but Ukrainian nazis tried to get an American Nazi teenager to kill Trump with a drone. He killed his parents first and then got caught on his way to pick up the drone though. Events in Ukraine has an article about it: https://eventsinukraine.substack.com/p/trump-assassin-part-i-the-misanthropic
Making a fiber optic drone is expensive, a lot of these cranks usually have guns lying around somewhere and it's easily accessible.
Plus making any kind of explosive is something that could go south real quick lol
It can't be that hard to learn. I hear that nobody ever makes the same mistake twice!

Too much Law and Order
They think you can just shoot the president from five feet away and no one will notice because of all the walking and talking
Is a fiber optic drone going to work in a city? That fiber trail you're leaving behind could get broken by traffic or a random person.
it hangs between the buildings/trees, but it could definitely. mr trumpo appears in golf resorts and political rallies tho, white house is wrong place to try anything, cause it's a building anyway, in the most policed city in the world

A juvenile bystander was hit by the suspect
I might get into polymarket betting on things like this, I would put down money that it will turn out the bystander was shot by SS.
The lack of detail also makes it sound like he was suspicious so they shot at him, it would be funny if he was just an average 2A guy, the sources say they witnessed a "visual print" of a firearm and suspicious behavior, and when they approached they allegedly exchanged fire. It would be unsurprising if one officer said he saw a gun so they just started blasting at the 'suspect' before he did anything.

"There was no indication Vance was a target"
since when do cops do you favors downgrading potential motives when they could just call it an assassination attempt and lock them up forever
"oh yeah even we don't think that dickhead is important enough to kill"
Yea my first draft was "tell me they were white w/o saying "they're white""
"this keeps happening and we have no idea why!" 
I blame radical antifa cnn for being mean to Trump and Wolf Blitzer telling the audience how to make pipe bombs.
What if it was Wolf Blitzball and he was really, really into Tidus and Wakka from FFX
The Bluesky brigades have been activated.

i may not support their guns BUT I SUPPORT A FREE EXCHANGE OF GUNFIRE! FREEDOM! 
just trading gunfire like pokemon cards 🎴
What's even the point of the 2nd if you don't know how to use it

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
