Rally shooter was supposedly using an old DPMS w/red dot (no magnifier)

Brandon Hererra tries recreating the shot using a shitty old 3 MOA red dot, which would have been era-specific to a 15 yr old DPMS Armalite Rifle at 130-150 yds.

Heard he had an Eotech on an older DPMS. I know people spend as much or more on an optic vs. gun, but that seems like a very odd pairing. Cheap gun doesn't raise eyebrows, but would expect a cheaper red dot for someone building in that price range.

I mean holy crap.
I was watching Garand Thumb re-enact the whole thing last night and I asked myself:
I didn’t know that was actually used in the attempt.

This is also why it's equally dumb to call this an inside job. Why would the deep state or secret service or whatever other boogie man use the world's worst assassin for a job like this? I'm sure you could find a patsy that has shot a deer before.

I mean, I don't think it was an inside job. But it's not like they're going to outfit a guy with a $10k rifle set up that is sure to raise eyebrows.
However, just a young impressionable guy who obviously liked to shoot (tried out for schools rifle team, etc.) and was apparently a bit of an outcast...I'd say that's a target to radicalize to do something of this nature. I don't think that was the case, just saying.

he was 1/2" from taking trumps head off. had it not been for the people on the ground yelling and trump turning his head he would have got the job done.
definitely not the worlds worst assassin.

It was only 130 yards and he would have made the shot if Trump had not turned his head at just the right time.

Analyzing the gun, optic and the shooter won’t give evidence of whether it was an inside job. Oswald is an example.
Look at the USSS multiple faux pas, which absolutely cannot all be mistakes. The USSS doesn’t make a single mistake, period. So on 7/13/24, they damn sure didn’t make 20+. I have zero doubt that it was an inside job.

I don’t know if it was an inside job but it’s dumb to dismiss the idea.
It wouldn’t necessarily require an elaborate plan. All it takes is a couple agents to “not notice” a threat right away.

Throwing my 2 cents….
Start with red dot. A 3 moa dot at 130 yards would cover a humans head. Would not be a precision shot. Shooter was definitely aiming for a head shot.
The fumbling bumbolinas. It is said that a DEI hire was in charge of security. Obviously was their first job. DEI has no place in that world where it is someone’s life……. As we are all learning as facts keep coming out.
An inside job? Certainly can’t rule it out. FBI has a hard on for Trump. Look at j6. Operatives in the crowd Inciting the people. Say there was an fbi operative in the stand behind Trump signaling shooter or shooters with her cell phone.
A complete operational failure by SS.
Are there ANY gooberment departments not infected with TDS?
Just my opinion.

I've looked at everything I could, admittedly not in excruciating detail, but I also watched the Dark Horse podcast where ole boy breaks it down. From what I've seen they are reaching at the claim that there were two or even three shooters. The most interesting thing I saw, though, was how the first shot does travel down the entire back row of those grandstands, which is not in line with Trump. That's pretty peculiar to me. The shadow on the water tower is just that, the shadow on the nipple at the top. The only movement I saw was the mirage effect due to distance.

They have the trajectory of the back row bleacher shot wrong. You can trust me or you can do what you want.
The backrow bleacher shot is a bullet that was a ricochet that is moving right to left. It ain't coming from left to right. They have it all wrong and saw what they wanted to see. Even misreading the movement of the purse. The purse moves left to right because the bullet hit the strap moving right to left thus causing the purse dangling to raise and move backwards due to bullet traveling oppo direction.
I've come to conclusion of the first shot came from either 2 points. Crooks or Window 3 under Crooks.

That was my first thought when I saw it. Ricochet. The idea of a simultaneous double shot isn't impossible, but if it was a split second off like the guy claimed, the two gun reports would be discernable.
The guy breaking it down seemed to take the one witness report of someone on the water tower and viewed all the evidence through that lens, trying to make it true.
