Here is my thesis, the shooter was an expert sniper. I think the miss was deliberate, a little example of Project 2025 at work, key up the martyr vote, make sure Trump gets his wish to be a dictator and then be a Project 2025 puppet, so they can get on with their agenda which is to destroy the advances people of color have made in the US, they want to enforce the ...[text shortened]... ars ago.

@AThousandYoung saidWhat seemed off to me is why the outer perimeter snipers on top of a barn can’t see a person 50 foot behind the outer bleachers on a little higher ground with people pointing and at him for two or three minutes and waving at them along with officers below the shooter??

@AThousandYoung saidAt only 150 yards and straight on shot they could count the pimples on his face with their optics but can’t see the guy crawl up with a rifle in front of them at this level?
