Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It'd be really funny if he won and then implemented strict gun control.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 46 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Imagine if somebody actually shoots at Trump and says "I did it for Taylor."

Just gonna echo what JD vance said about school shootings... "This is just a fact of life"

[–] KiaKaha@hexbear.net 59 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, I can see presidential assassinations becoming the preferred outlet for misanthropic rage for those who don’t like the sound of children screaming.

Yeah the least those losers could do is give themselves a challenge

Better than going and shooting up a Walmart, that's for sure.

I've never thought about it, but a golf course really is a great environment for that sort of thing...

  • Get to lug around a bag full of long cylindrical metal objects, with covers on them
  • Probably some wooded area
  • Person likely to stand alone and focus on the ground for extended times
  • No one notices if you're in there for like 12 hours
  • Very quiet, good for focus
  • Reduce popularity of a terrible activity (golf)

What if Trump getting shot at just becomes his thing, like how Bolsonaro's thing is being hospitalized

unbearably funny to me how the first assassination came with a sick photo and bump in the polls and now no one (aside from hogs) gives a fuck if it happens again lmfao

lol imagine his mental state rn

[–] Sulvor@hexbear.net 39 points 2 months ago (4 children)

All these unsuccessful attempts will probably just make him more vicious if he wins.

[–] Gay_Tomato@hexbear.net 39 points 2 months ago

My sibling in Marx, he is drier then the surface of Mars. If getting a once in a life time, world historical moment out of the last shooting didn't activate Pinnochet mode nothing will.

How can two gunmen both fail.

Please go to the range and practice before you do adventurism people. Make sure to add in some stress practice because when it comes to actual action your body is going to going into stress hyperdrive.

I think a lot of people are just underestimating how hard it is to shoot a gun.
This guy apparently was taking pot shots from several holes away.

He seemed really shaken by the assassination attempt, some staffer said he obsessed over it to the point of rewatching the video of it on loop, so if people keep popping off around him he might seriously break down.

I knew the outdoor rally shooter was a chud from jump. Chuds go for the head, leftists know to aim for center of mass.

Any shooter going after Trump is one less shooter at a school.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 39 points 2 months ago (7 children)

The New York Post said it was an AK-47. I don't know why that makes it funnier for me but it does.

They've since stated that the SS agent is the only one who fired.

My hot take guess is that this person was a second amendment open carry auditor, you are allowed to carry basically any firearm in Florida as long as you are actively fishing or traveling to/from the location you will be fishing.

In June 2022, Ryan Routh hung Taiwan flags in Kyiv to display that Taiwan had support for Ukraine. You could not create a more NATO guy in a lab.

Ryan Routh, told CNA that he posted the flags to pay tribute to the nations that have citizens fighting in Ukraine's foreign legion

Routh said there have been no protests about the presence of the Taiwan flag so far, but even if China is dissatisfied, "I can order another 1,000, they can't touch my flags."

He came to Kyiv more than two months ago to show his support for Ukraine and wanted to join the foreign legion

However, due to his age, he was unable to do so

Routh has assisted in recruiting 70 volunteers to join the fight against Russia.

He told the news agency that he included Taiwan's flag because he had met at least five Taiwanese volunteers serving in the legion over the past two months

I think it's fair to say this will keep happening again and again until it won't, for any number of reasons.
