Reports coming out about the assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents Dinner (WHCD) are all clear that 6 shots were fired. The suspect was never hit. That’s classic Storm Trooper shooting. It appears maybe they hit one of their own, though, which is even beyond the pathetic marksmen skills of the Storm Troopers.
Now they say the investigation is just starting and they won’t say conclusively that the assailant’s shotgun was fired. The defense is saying he never pulled the trigger. How can that not be known pretty conclusively at this point? A shotgun leaves a bunch of little pellets around and a very obvious spent shotgun shell casing. If the Storm Trooper had been hit with the shotgun as the administration claims, it would leave a very recognizable pattern on the bulletproof vest.
Something smells funny. Now in wake of the pretty definitely fake Butler assassination attempt, color me suspicious (yes, that’s gone from “conspiracy theory” to “pretty definitely fake”). They probably told the Butler shooter while grooming him “you’ll be taken into custody but we’ll get you the best lawyers and you’ll only be incarcerated for a couple years.” But then decided better let him get shot, it would be more realistic. And then someone else in the crowd lost their life too. Collateral damage, no biggie.
Here’s the video. It appears he has a card key to get into the gym first. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSDV_xGlMvA
With the WHCD dinner shooting no one actually died so that’s good, but it’s hard to imagine how trained marksmen could fire six shots and not hit their target. Let alone hit one of their own. Maybe this one was legit, but forgive me if I consider government credibility pretty low at this point.
I believe as a civilian I would know within 30 seconds whether a shotgun had gone off. It just ain’t that hard.
