Thinks that make you go "Hummmmmm": Schoolmates report the Trump shooter was "a terrible shot."

Myers said that Crooks tried to join the high school's rifle team but was rejected and asked not to return. “He didn't just not make the team, he was asked not to come back because how bad of a shot he was, it was considered like, dangerous,” said Myers. Another member of the team, who asked not to be named, told ABC News that there was a view that Crooks "wasn't really fit for the rifle team." "He also shot terrible," the team member added. -------------------------------------------------------------------------

The story about his attempt to join his high school rifle team seems unreliable, or evidence of a desire to fake a lack of skill.

Supposedly the shooter was "such a comically bad shot he was unable to make the team and left after the first day." According to the story he missed the target by 20 feet "Crooks once fired from the seventh lane - the closest lane to the right wall - and hit the left wall, completely missing every target on the back wall" "He missed his target by close to 20 feet"

Nobody shoots that badly with a single shot 22, even if they have never fired a rifle before.

The shooter might have been crazy, and evil, but he was not a poor shot. God and a bit of wind saved Trump's life, and prevented what could have been a disaster for our nation.

There was an earlier article that said the school team used single shot 22 rifles and that the range was an indoor range and not that long. Missing by the width of the room with a 22 rifle is just not plausible.
