Please vote.Fuck maybe I'm starting to drink the kool-aid but, I mean I'm not going to lie and say that's not the perfect grounds for unleashing a conspiracy theory to rule them all and that this whole assassination attempt isn't fishy.
Okay, the roof is potentially dangerous for agents to be on, sure, but how was there not a perimeter around the only building with a clear line of sight on a former President?
Also, the videos going around showing the people in attendance clearly pointing him out and flagging him down and nothing being done about it until shots got fired is strange. There were almost 3 minutes between the shooter being spotted and him opening fire. That feels like a lifetime when radio technology exists.
Why would a single Paul Blart ass officer get sent up to the roof to check on the shooter instead of that information getting relayed to a Secret Service sniper with a clear line of sight and the means to neutralize the threat.
That being said, contrary to Sean's point, there are still many reasonable explanations potentially, and I don't think you can quickly jump to conclusions to this being an inside job attempted hit by our current administration, but holyyyyyy shit the amount of fuck-ups and headscratchers being revealed in the following days makes it VERY easy to do so if you're a Trump supporter.
Also, let's not pretend like an organized assassination of an intimidating political figure is out of scope for our lovely little country.
Disclaimer: I'm a registered Democrat and am planning on voting for Biden (if I do vote).
Counter questions:
Who stands to win from a failed attempt? Definitely not Biden.
The US Government and its Commander In Chief, who have control over the military and intelligence assets of our country, chose a 20 year old kid who’s a registered Republican and didn’t make it even on to his high school shooting team? Instead of, say, a CIA SAC/SOG military trained sniper?
SCOTUS recently gave the President broad immunity, for “official actions,” he wouldn’t need to hide it so much. Why the conspiracy?
The Secret Service has been having a string of high profile problems going back to at least the Obama administration. Isn’t it more likely than not, that at a MAGA rally, they were just complacent and made some really galling errors in judgement?
High profile assassinations or attempts have been caused for many reasons in our country’s history. John Hinkley supposedly attempted to assassinate Reagan to get Jodie Fosters attention. With no motive known at this time, idle speculation probably is wildly off base. Who’s to say his kid wasn’t trying g to get Zendaya or some local kid he had a crush on a attention?
