Not diminishing the seriousness and trauma of an assassination attempt, but surely many reporters with top of the shelf DSLR must have photographed something?

    Nah, I’ll happily diminish the seriousness and trauma of his assassination attempt, because he and his crew have been actively trying to get an assassination attempt to occur - they were just surprised that the first incident was directed at them.

      It’s a damn shame the person missed :-(. Or maybe he hired the guy and it went exactly as planned. Nothing like a little “people want me dead” to help a psychopath feel like a hero.

        If he hired him he would have to have infinite faith in his sharpshooter capabilities

        What if the guy on the roof had blanks, and the shooter who hit people in the crowd was on some sort of grassy… hill. Like a slightly elevated section of turf… I’m sure there is word for it.
