Could you do that knowing that punk was going to be spraying 5.56 rounds at the man a few feet in front of you?

If you are psychopath, yes.
You wouldn’t flinch.
...and yes, you’d want to be front row, center.
Like I said in another thread, it would be feeling like you got to be Zapruter, but not filming with 16mm from far away. It would appeal to a psychopath’s ego.
“’If you believe the assistant director of the FBI was sitting front row at a Trump rally to “give instructions” to the shooter, you are an absolute moron...”
I notice two things about this sentence.
For one, the media all of a sudden finds thier ability to call conspiracy theories “moron”(s) when they seem to come from the right. The left is allowed to conspiracy theory all day long, such as Joy Reid saying the assassination was staged. Did daily call Reid a moron?
Secondly, that they phrase it in terms of them “giving instructions”. An intelligent psychopath isn’t dumb enough to show that they are giving the nod... that doesn’t mean they don’t want to witness it first hand.
I give this conspiracy theory a 1 out of 10 on the plausibility scale. I’m also not buying into it.
But for creativity, I give it a 7 out of 10.
I noticed a woman filming but don’t know if she was the one in this article. But sometimes people are just stupid, like the ones who film avalanches coming towards them, or try to film themselves confronting a bear or mountain lion attack.
There’s actually a good distance of separation between Pres Trump’s stage/podium, and, the folks sitting in the seats, behind.
On TV, it looks like they’re right behind him, very close.
In reality ... several hundred feet away.
You can see how far apart podium/stage and bleachers were, here ...
