You simply won't hire anyone shooting at your ear with live ammunition from that distance.

Exactly. Never put down to conspiracy anything that can equally be explained by incompetence.

And didn't innocent person die too?

I don't at all believe the conspiracy, because of what Tiptopit said about live ammo at that distance. But if one were conspiratorially minded, I doubt the death of one innocent would sway them in the slightest.

The people who would be involved in such an alleged conspiracy would not give two shits about that. Collateral damage.

In fact they probably see it as a plus. Get the folks even more riled up.

No, you hide a razor in your hand and cut your own ear, of course.

I don't know why we're still having this conversation because people made ironic jokes about trump being in the wwe and knowing how to blade. If you listen to the extremely peaked out audio, you can hear the report of the gunshots, which would not be possible with blanks. They have a different sound signature, different sound profile. You can likewise hear the difference in caliber and therefore sound profile when the secret service fires back. This guy fully shot in the direction of the president. There's not really any plausible way this was fake.

you can hear the report of the gunshots,

Fascinating that you appear to know so much about the sound of gunfire, and yet you don't know the difference between rapport and report.

Totally an expert, just not one who has ever read these words right?

Look up the definitions of both of those words and then get back to me.

Rapport means like, a reputation between two people. report is a word that can have a bunch of different meanings, one of them, as a noun, listed third on google's listed definitions, because I did look it up because I thought I might be wrong when you pointed this out, is "a sudden loud noise of or like an explosion or gunfire.". Me personally, I kind of thought and still perhaps think that it stems from the idea that, you are hearing the report of the gunshot itself, when you hear the sound. Sort of like how thunder is a way to describe the sound of lightning rather than lightning itself. And it's a "report" because it tells you about the thing from which it originated based on the nature of the sound.

So, I dunno, fuck off before you decide to start questioning me on the basis of my misspellings rather than on the basis of my proposed information. Sure, I'm an armchair guy making armchair statements, that's everyone on basically any website on the internet. Go ask for credentials from anyone else making statements about this shit, you probably won't get any. Did you attempt to dispute any of the shit I actually said? Nope, instead you decided to question my ability to distinguish one word from another. Maybe I was using text to speech, maybe I'm ESL, maybe I'm just stupid, who knows, but apparently you were just as easily able to understand what I said so I guess it doesn't really matter in the end, huh? Go ad hominem yourself in the mirror, you costco ball ass removed aaaaand post

Hey guess what, sometimes in the English language a word might have more than one meaning. Crazy concept, I know.

Gunfire doesn't "report" to anyone or anything.

I could copy/paste the Dictionary.com definition of "report" like you did, if that makes this easier for you to understand.

Do you want to give me any real material or are we done here? You have class in like two hours dude you're gonna be late

You have class in like two hours dude you're gonna be late

Is this supposed to be an insult? I graduated from University over a decade ago, so in some ways I kind of wish I did have a class to get to.

You seem like an angry, small person.

And you certainly rely on the assassin shooting at you with blanks and only kill other people?

Come on, work with me here, do I write the fiction all by myself?

Let’s see, you have the handler that hired the chap off him with an AR pistol to “erase the file”. Maybe things got hairy and other people were shot.
