Man hiding in bush at Donald Trump’s golf course with AK-47 is a nothing burger? Idk how to make customers happy these days ¯_(ツ)_/¯

atzanteol ,

Just lawful demonstration of one’s second amendment rights amiright?

cheese_greater ,

I dont see the problem. Plausible deniabillity’s a double-edged bitch

I guess so, other than his manifesto saying he wants to kill Trump and showing up at the same place and time. I don’t think I’d wanna be ak-bush-guy in court

edit: are AK’s even legal to carry around? I don’t know if FL has open carry

baldingpudenda ,

There’s an old law in FL, I know it’s in TX; probably in FL, attempt an assassination once… you’re a fool…attempt twice, you can’t attempt again.

I think it’s rather more that it’s painfully clear to anyone with a functioning brain that Donald Trump and his campaign is once again trying to manipulatively present himself as in more danger than he actually is and falsely blaming Democrats for violent vitriol. Donald Trump is firmly the one producing all the violent rhetoric in this campaign. The worst the Democrats have done is imply that JD Vance fucked a couch, and when they did, it was clearly in jest and not serious. Yet he turns it around and blames it on the Harris campaign immediately.

So, let’s go over. What makes this a nothingburger compared to what Trump makes it out to be:

  1. This guy who they caught with the guns previously voted for Trump, and had also previously supported Vivek, after he was disillusioned with Trump. He’s clearly not well, but he’s also clearly not a true and blue progressive who was pushed to violence by evil Democrats being mean to Donald Trump.
  2. Trump was never actually in any serious danger, probably because due to the previous massive fuckup the Secret Service is probably actually doing their job this time around. Since he was never in actual serious danger, because they were doing their job, it’s as much of a nothingburger as the number of times that such a thing has happened to sitting Presidents. It doesn’t blow up the news because it’s stupid when they’ve already failed.

If Kamala was at this golf course would you be singing a different tune? I have zero doubt they’re going to get whatever mileage they can out of this, but idk how we can pretend this is “nothing”.

Also, I’m positive a person intending to kill a (former) president being arrested 600yds away from their target is newsworthy.

I think Trump is reaping what he’s sown too, but I can’t pretend it’s remotely close to “nothing”

In an America where children are shot daily? No, dumbass, I wouldn’t. It’s not that big a deal when unhinged freaks can get guns, sorry. It’s just par for the course. It’s also literally why the Secret Service fucking exists.

So… the secret service did their job this time? Rather than waiting while someone was camped out on a roof taking ages to miss a shot?

saltesc ,

That’s not how that happened, but okay.

lmao what did you type to find this

yggstyle ,

I dunno the video seems to be of a groundskeeper just doing his normal rounds.

SaltySalamander ,

Groundskeepers don't generally carry an SKS rifle with them to tend the grounds.

yggstyle ,

Yes that would be why caddyshack was over the top and funny.

Peppycito ,

That article just gets right to the point. Quite efficient.

Rozz ,

Less words good

Gullible ,

Never have I seen so few fucks given over assassination attempts.

You know how it rains when you’re camping?
