Very unlikely, it’s an easy intuitive thing to think when emotions are high, and there is so much at stake with the election and division so high, that emotions are high as well.
Having a shooter miss you on purpose is something that is extremely risky, not easy to stage, and the US has enough armed people with emotions boiling over and little to lose. It is very much the overwhelmingly more likely scenario.
At this point, we know very little, but with what we do know at the moment - for this, you’d need:
someone willing to be taken out as the shooter, willing to or being tricked into shooting blanks, or an extremely elaborate plan to switch in a body (you also have to acquire and prepare somewhere) in front of witnesses and potential cameras
someone without blanks firing to explain the other bystanders dead from bullets
complete control over the subsequent investigation, to make sure no one looks into it properly, which would make all the people involved in the know
It is still an extremely, extremely unlikely scenario
Agreed. Further, [email protected] in this post commented that we can hear the rounds hitting before the report, and since blanks don’t hit, we can presume this was not faked.
Or just use a razor and actually cut your ear. I’d say someone took their shot and missed. He happened to turn his head at the last moment, or the shot would have made a solid hit.
The reports I am hearing say that at least two people besides the shooter are dead, which probably is where (some of) the other bullets went. Dude is a coward, but also a narcissist, I assume he noticed that the Secret Service had already killed the shooter, so immediately switched into “I am invincible” mode.
Again, I understand it as an intuitive reaction, but the world is a lot more chaotic than that, and huge conspiracies coordinated well like that are super, super rare. Waiting and being willing to adjust your position is a good thing to do right now. With more stuff coming out, the situation will become more clear.

They literally did this plot on the Boys like a week ago.

Yeah, we’ll have to see for sure, but either way- this just won him an election.
