And… Not That I Buy It, For One Second… But What If The 20-Year-Old Kid Was Already Dead, On That Roof?

Okay, look. There are lots of VERY dumb conspiracy theories on both sides. [Hinderaker, to some extent, and in deep crazy mode, Billingsley — for certain — have offered a few brain-farts, from the Far Right.]

And this is likely one, as well… but what if the purported shooter/kid had already been captured and killed by forces sworn loyal to Tangerine as a person (not the Secret Service, per se)? He was dropped on the roof, at just the right time — and a real sharp shooter, loyal to Tangerine, with the same AR-15, shoots to miss Trump (thus the NYT bullet photo), but (to ensure believability) he lets a few stray shots go into the crowd?

Meanwhile, as Trump goes down, “the loyals” cover him, and use a small blade to cut his upper ear — a great place for lots of blood, from a small incision. [All as he witnessed, in all star wrestling acts — and (in part) participated in, for many years, over two decades, ago…?]

He rises, fists pumping… because he had scripted it all — reality / non-reality TV.

[I offer this idiotic tangent, solely because Mr. Martin Shkreli is musing this morning about scenarios only slightly differing from this one, above — on X-itter. Ugh.] Back to real legal substance, again, by tonight.

Yes, I believe the tragedies — of the two dead, two injured — in the crowd… are all too real. And political violence has no place in our system of ordered liberty.

Out.
