You don't need a fake assassin. You just need to relax security a bit.
And having a president that is a master at making people hate him helps, too.
Exactly. The idea that it's a fake assassination or that the guy was "in on it" is silly. You just wait until you have someone that is actively on the FBIs watch list actually try it. Then just let them get close enough to make the news.
Or you know about it and let it happen in a controlled scenario. However, if this guy winds up dead or missing awaiting trial, i wouldn’t discount this being staged and the loose ends fixed.
Yeah. Sorry, I could have worded that better. This is literally what I meant. The guy was probably being monitored for a long time and was allowed to get as close as he did. Maybe a little closer since he literally ran like a bullet. Lol
You know the assailant wasn't in on it because he's still alive. There's no way they'd let him live to talk otherwise.
You don't even have to. All you need is a guy running into lobby, doesn't even have to be armed.
I'm still trying to understand how he could get in the hotel with shotgun, handgun and knives, when the whole block was off limits. I guess you could hide handgun and knives, but you won't exactly fit a shotgun into a pocket.
