I count 1 shot from the runner and 4 shots from that secret service agent who saw him coming. All miss their targets, one friendly fire hit. Absolutely everyone here failed miserably.
Incidentally he only gets 4 running steps between being seen and being fired on and just 6 running steps between that doorway and the checkpoint.
I don't know the layout of down the hall but given how sloppy the checkpoint is I assume it's just 10m to a room full of people that absolutely deserve to be shot.
If this guy committed harder with a bomb vest he could've taken the entire dinner hall out.
Or a couple of grenades, just tossing one ahead of him could've done a lot of damage if he couldn't get into the hall himself. The half-assessedness of this assassination attempt really bothers me. I don't want to be an armchair assassin here, but this isn't a "do or die" thing, it is a "do and die" thing, you have to be willing to go in to deal as much damage as possible as quickly as possible.
SMH, damn adventurists can't even do their stupid ineffectual nonsense properly.
Yeah the fact he survived is honestly the craziest part of it all. Nobody going in to do this should be going in with the expectation of survival so they really ought to be going with a full scale nuclear approach.
I get it with the long range shooters. They're trying to do it and survive. But this kind of attack is a kamikaze and should be planned with that in mind.
From everything I've seen with this guy talking about it, he honestly seemed to think like it would be a movie scene where he walks in all cool and pulls out his gun in slow motion and no one stops him in time because movie, and also because movie he gets away with it because everyone would see him as a "hero"
I thought it was reported that the wasn't even on the same floor.
