That's become my natural response to any news ever since 9/11 (or maybe the moon landing). But only in the movies is the lone gunman such a good shot that they could graze their target's ear without blasting off their head. Yes, the hard-core conspiracy theorists will speculate the shooter was a top-secret AI killing machine from the future and Donald Trump a disposable clone… or that the whole production was CGI and Pennsylvania doesn't even exist. There's a rabbit hole for every possibility. But as far as objective and probable reality goes, four things appear to be true:

1. The socialist-fascist psychopaths who are trying to turn Western countries into desolate third-world hellholes know they are losing in the battle of words, ideas and reason (as proven by the recent Presidential debate). Despite all the media brainwashing, mass propaganda and their fake pandemic they still can't control the masses. Violence and murder are the ultimate modus operandi of those who oppose freedom — from forced taxation (AKA theft) to forced indoctrination camps (AKA schools) to forced vaccination (AKA democide).

2. Trump is no coward and doesn't miss a photo-op. Sure he ducked when under fire. He's also not an idiot. But once the shooter was taken down he stood tall calling for people to fight as if knowing those might be his last words. He then appears to be fighting his entourage of Secret Service bodyguards so that he can raise his fist in the air, as they try to shield him with their bodies — leaving the world with a photo more memorable than his "don't mess with me" mug shot.
