Want To Know Why So Many People Believe The Assassination Attempt Was Staged

The Krasnov administration goes on TV and lies to us about what happened.

The guy who was shot by the perp in his bullet proof vest may not be true. According to Carol Lennig on MSNOW, it may have been from friendly fire, it's still under investigation.

The Secret Service tackled the perp before he could reach the ballroom; a flat out lie according to an eye witness, the perp tripped.

I don't think the assassination attempt was staged but the more lies I hear from these clowns makes me wonder.

In the video while officers from different agencies were moving all around, there is a guy who we can heard saying "what the fuck, what the fuck". And then a voice (which I think is the same one) says: "watch your crossfire!"

I mean if anyone ever learned anything from these morality tales as a child it should be becoming blatantly obvious. This crap is Trump's SOP...and this dog and pony show is obviously now wearing very thin.

Then it isn’t like a bullet, it is more like a circular pattern of pellets. It is why shotguns are recommended often for home protection and used for bird hunting. As distance increases you will increase the circumference of the pattern. So a shotgun will have a concentration of pellets at the target, but will also have some scatter that may hit arms, legs and head if the shot was aimed at chest.
