That's Thomas Matthew Crooks on the right. It's wild how easily I forgot that at least 2 people have tried to assassinate him.

I don't believe for a second that the first attempt was legitimate.

This guy was on a roof and shot his ear.

The second attempt would be from Ryan Routh, NATO obsessed guy who loved Biden and Ukraine and could summon 10,000 volunteer soldiers he recruited to help Ukraine, if only he got to charge his ult.

Yeah, I was sure to phrase it "at least", because who knows if there's been other attempts that we don't know about or have been foiled before they got the chance to.
