    I mean sure. I agree with everything you said.

    It doesn’t matter if he was hit or not and someone is dead (actually 2 people). However–and I’m not saying I buy into this–if I had to pick a person / campaign who would set up live fire into a crowd and who cares who gets hit if the “target” gets a good photo op, it is trump all day long. And the kicker of THAT is I could imagine someone doing a bane / dark Knight rises “someone has to be in the wreckage” volunteer to get swiss cheesed by secret service.

    I don’t think the shooter kid meets that profile, but this is within the realm of possible for a fucker like trump.

      It’s also within the realm of possible that, if there were a conspiracy, they could’ve simply lied to the shooter and told him that he wouldn’t be treated like a disposable loose end.
