I think you’re right.
This was the dumbest and most pitiful assassination attempt ever. Just stupid.
Didn’t have a gun and couldn’t get one (the system works), so he has to try to take one from a cop. So dumb. Went to the range the day before and fired 20 rounds to ‘learn how to shoot’... Yeah, right. Now he’s an expert marksman.
You add it all up and it’s just... sad. Doesn’t exactly inspire hair raising.
Had he gotten the gun, he would’ve hurt somebody (if he could fire it), but not Trump. Trump wears body armor, so it would actually take a head shot to seriously threaten him. There was no way that this yokel was going to pull that off.
I think that it’s not a big deal because there was never a real threat.
I disagree. Have you read any of the info on this kid? It’s pretty shocking how his parents encouraged him to come to the USA with plenty of money and then lost track of him for a year. It’s a scary scenario. He had plans to go to another rally as well. This could have quickly degenerated into a killing.
