i dont get this narrative. little to no experience and hes inches away from a killing headshot at that distance. thats fucking hard as hell to do

someone in another thread was like, “he had a scope!” and i’m like, “so? have you ever shot through a scope? it’s not like a video game where scope guarantees a headshot. it just makes it a bit easier.”
130m is really far, and an AR isn’t a sniper rifle anyway

Should’ve used a magic bullet.

I read in another thread that he may have hit a teleprompter and pieces from that caused the wound.

He apparently was rejected from his shooting group due to inability to aim.

Also, a local police officer was alerted to him. The cop then went up there, where he says Crooks pointed his rifle at him and he retreated to get help. So this added a bunch of stress and dramatically cut the time frame to take his shot. I think this may have played into the miss, assuming what the cop was reported saying, is what happened

I thought he actually did quite well tbh. Unless he wasn’t aiming for a headshot…

The man is all center mass and he went for the smallest target: trumps brain
werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 1 month ago
His brain is about this size 🧠 inside with the rest being full of chaff and dog poop. So I mean, that’s pretty small.

Horseshoes and hand grenades my friend.

Funny but doubt that actually happened tbh

Maybe not, but what’s the point in falsely attributing it to someone else instead of just saying it yourself?

Because if anybody gets mad at it, they have deniability

Seems to be the way a lot of people tell jokes these days

Like most stuff on the internet.

Yes, but they shot Tupac from a much closer distance.

The onion just ran an article that stormtroopers were seen fleeing the rally afterwards.
