NYT reported that the assassin fired 8 shots. I saw the UK story. I am no gun expert, but the alleged instantaneous "recoil" looks more like the sniper rising up off his scope and aim to get a visual. Those guys don't miss from 150 yards, so how could the assassin get time to fire 7 more shots? Or how could he have fired 8 shots before the sniper(s) took him out?

I saw an FBI spokesperson making EXACTLY the same claim in a network TV clip. SO, this is becoming the official excuse.

The NYT also reported that their expert concluded that the snipers fired AFTER the assassin did. Kind of like having the Zapruder video with people saying they saw men with guns firing from the grassy knoll published in real time.

I am in the UK and I have fired 3 different guns in my life:

1. Air Rifle - we had as kids

2. Winchester - 2.2 that we did at scouts

3. Shotguns (family farms and corporate events for clay pigeon shooting ).

I AM NO EXPERT AND NO YANK... but for me, it just sounded like an airgun ... or similar.

As for capturing the bullet in a picture flying across the sky .... Jesus Wept.

PS Your comment is spot on.

The presence of the flag in the background of the iconic photo is kind of like investigators finding perfectly intact passports of the 9/11 terrorists amidst the rubble. It's the tell.

By this point on Sunday I know you're buzzed. Quite a bit.

Even though you are, can you take a shot at the story? For example, who cut Trump's ear?

It certainly was not a .55 grain .223 bullet traveling at 3,240 feet per second. That would have taken his ear off.

There was no cut by a bullet. There was no blood splatter on his hair or collar and no blood on his right and. It was either a fake (slow mo video shoes his right hand going to his ear BEFORE he flinched from gunshots) or it was from glass hards from the teleprompter.

So many things way off they support multiple conflicting theories - a Roshomon!

So you think it was a 20 year old math nerd, who got an AR 15 from his dad, who just wandered 40 miles to the roof of a building, with explosives in his car, climbed the roof in broad daylight, with a rifle in sight, and laid there for several minutes as many people screamed to police about him, undetected by drones or SS guys with binoculars, and managed to fire 8 shots, including a glazing blow, one of the bullets miraculously photographed in flight by a NY Times reporter, with a US flag perfectly framed in the background, with SS agents allowing Trump to fist pump from a totally exposed position.

You actually believe all that is possible?

You should ask wolfie - he'll tell you it wasn't the MANAGER. It was a .55 grain .223. Traveling at 3,240 FEET PER SECOND.

Imbecile! 🤡
