    i find it strange that there would be shots fired and the perpetrator would survive to tell a tale.

    on the other hand, the secret service agents must despise that dipshit more than anyone, since he willingly put their lives at risk multiple times, so i have hard time imagining they would be in on any sort of pre-planned PR show…

      The guy was behind a fence, with just the barrel of the gun poking through, so it’s not too surprising their shots missed.

        The effective range of an AK-47 is 380 yards. The shots were taken somewhere between 300 and 500 yards. I don’t think the shooter had a chance of making that shot and it is more likely that he was just trying to make himself famous.

          Think of how more famous he would be if he took out the first p[resident who attempted a coup and tried to get his VP killed!

          Yeah, probably not. But would-be assassins aren’t necessarily the sharpest people around.

            that’s survivorship bias… we just don’t know the names and faces of the smart ones ;)

          Attempted assassination will get your name on TV and in the history books. It might get you killed or locked up for life, though. So it depends on your life goals.

      No one knows anything about the shooter other than “it was a man”… everyone is always filming that swine and they don’t have any leaked to fox news of the attempted assassination? This is all an attempt from the ass hole to get away from the debate and taylor swift.
