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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

I'm sure a lot of people want to shoot Trump, so it's actually very considerate of the Trump shooters to both miss, preserving this scarce resource for other future shooters.

I'm not mad, just disappointed.

Trump in his 50 cent era

Funniest outcome is that it was an open carry chud that the Secret Sevice shot at, because the last time made them look bad so they're on edge. Guy will probably have an "I still love the truck" attitude

Third time's the charm. I really want the next shooter to succeed with a hand-made weapon, just to ridicule the previous two assault rifle losers.

OK yeah. So I’m starting to think that these types keep missing because they have no strategy whatsoever and are probably working alone/not thinking clearly

Apparently this guy's strategy was to sit in a bush 500 meters away from Trump, and take potshots at him with an AK style assualt rifle with a crappy scope mounted on the top. You know, the kind of thing that only works in Call Of Duty videogames. I don't think he even got his first shots away.

Why was he even following the gunshots in his vicinity?

So some people are saying this is an SKS, which I can kinda see. Though I thought 20 rounders were the biggest SKS mag, and that mag looks a little big for that.

Edit: There’s 30rd SKS mags
