    That is just…a little too convenient?

    Too convenient? It’s an assassination attempt, of course it’s convenient, it’s deliberate.

    We just don’t know what the exact motive was, or if there even was one. There’s a lot of information we’re missing.

      Yes. I’m aware. I’m saying the shot timing based on what he was talking about literally right then. Was the whole thing/talk about shootings? Was it a very crazy coincidence? Was the asker and shooter a plant?

      We will find out in time. It’s just very weird timing.

        We’re going to see a lot more of this kind of thing, and a lot of it has roots in the idea that Garland and the SC threw away Rule Of Law and decided that political agendas are above the law and that the social contract no longer matters.

        More and more people, groups and institutions are going to decide that they can interpret and enforce whatever laws they want to see.

        I don’t think he was considered a disposable pawn. This was the sort of shot that’s hard to interpret as a plant.

        He may have been killed by the right. But honestly someone is going down for this regardless of if it’s the person who shot him. And if the person going down dies before trial they’re likely going to have evidence they’re trans planted if need be.

        Much like the reichstag fire they don’t need to fake an incident, they just have to keep twisting the screws and never let a good tragedy go to waste.

          yes it does really feel like that. a plant to exert the totalitarian police state just like Germany back then.
