Anyone think a failed trump assassination attempt by Iran would be worse than a successful one?

anon_8675309 ,

And yet that rooftop was left unguarded!?

NABDad ,

That was ramped up?

SoupBrick ,

Twenty bucks is twenty bucks, bro.

chudbot ,

John Bolton still has his Secret Service detail WTF?!

Ignoring the article and focusing ob the picture: how can people leave so much trash behind? More so on a lawn.

thesporkeffect ,

I bet people were in more of a hurry to leave than normal, given the… shooting

NotMyOldRedditName ,

So, absolutely.

But also I’ve been to massive concerts in the USA and Canada, and 100% of the time people litter more at the USA based events.

There’s always litter though one way or another.

Zipitydew ,

It was a gathering of trash people to celebrate a trash human. They’re not going to care about it being clean.

Ah, is this the excuse were going to use to dilute the real issue?. That it’s Iran. Not a gun-fetishizing mentally-ill right-wing Trump supporter radicalized by his eventual target?

We’re really trying to ignore the leopard eating all those faces.

Fiivemacs ,

Ignore the lepord so long as it’s ripping their faces off… normal people aren’t bothered too much.

jonne ,

Yeah, this is making them look even worse, tbh. They couldn’t stop this kid even with ‘ramped up security’? What if Iran had sent someone that could actually shoot?

This kid clipped Trumps ear at 130m using an AR-15. That’s actually pretty good for an amateur.

All my coworkers were saying the kid was a terrible shot, but I’m honestly impressed given the circumstances

jonne ,

Honestly I have no idea how hard it is to make that shot, especially if you know you’ve been spotted. I was basing that comment on how he failed to qualify for the marksmanship club at high school. But maybe he got better in the meantime.

I could easily keep my grouping within an inch or two at that distance shooting at a stationary target with no pressure about being shot myself at any given moment. When I’ve had deer in the scope at that range or a little further and the adrenaline starts pumping I need to pull back and catch my breath or I’ll sweep the cross hairs over the entire body without being able to keep steady and settle. Aiming at a former pres knowing secret service could pop you in a second, that’s a recipe for extreme nerves and adrenaline.

jonne ,

It’s just crazy that the perimeter was like 100m if trained snipers routinely take out targets at 1km+. If they really thought Iran was a threat it definitely doesn’t look like they did anything to stop it (and I think the thing that is really stopping other nation states from assassinating American heads of state or candidates is the guarantee that the US would invade like the next day, not the logistics of actually carrying it out).

Second time this year I’ve been made to cheer for Iran. What a crazy world.

Blumpkinhead ,

I don’t think I’d cheer for anyone trying to assasinate our politicians, especially a foreign government.

You’re operating under the very mistaken assumption that this “intelligence” is legitimate or being provided in good faith.

If we accept that this intelligence even exist, there is a big difference between a state sanctioned plot, and signal intercepts between a couple hard-line officers blowing smoke up each other’s asses.

All recent events show that Iran has consistently acted with restraint and moderation when dealing the theat of American military escalation.

Color me skeptical that they would blow past all other major escalation paths, and skip straight to one that guarantees a multi-month long air campaign to flatten their entire country, followed by a ground invasion, and occupation.

Iraq may have worked out strategically for Iran because of the cluster fuck that the occupation was, but that doesn’t mean they want that for themselves.
