Point a gun at armed guards, and you're going to have a bad day. Assuming, that is, that what they said is what actually happened. They may have lied and this is not what happened at all, and we'll never know. Cops have been known to do that, shocking, I know.

I trust nothing anyone says in that bloated orange liars orbit.

BREAKING NEWS:
This just in. The man who was shot by armed guards was actually not a man, or woman. But a 7 year old girl. Also the little girl wasn't shot, but strangled...about 2 decades ago, by someone with tiny, tiny hands. Local police are wondering why there was orange make up all over the remains.
When asked for a comment a spokesman said, "the president is clueless...about everything"

Sniper rifles...

Now, obviously, I'm not mentioning sniper rifles for any other reason than to point out that they are rifles for sniping, and they are not to peel bananas with.
Or to stir your coffee with. They are just for shooting paper targets(šŸ˜šŸ˜) from afar. DO NOT STIR ANY BEVERAGES WITH A SNIPER RIFLES.

Wait what? I thought they were to kill people like known nazi Donald Trump.

That’s what the bananas are for

D_C@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 173d

The potassium in the banana would immediately combust once it mixes with all those hamberders.

A shotgun and a fuel canister. What was the plan here exactly? Shoot all of the Secret Service, and burn the evidence? Start a fire and shoot at the ones fleeing the building?

This guy was clearly mentally unwell if that’s what he thought was going to do the job.

it's honestly surprises me how little thought goes into the average attempt at violence

partial_accumen@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 173d (1 reply)

Is it surprising though? Those that put more thought into it choose not do to the violence.

partofthevoice@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 173d

Those who put the most thought into it get an episode on some history channel show, though. (Looking at you, Cooper)

Yes our collective plan of doing nothing and letting a child rapist and murder start countless wars and do whatever Netanyahu wants is working out much better

You guys could just, you know, remove him from office. Introduce a modern democratic system while you're at it. Might have to convince some of your countrymen it's a good idea.

Oh geez. That means planning beyond the next quarter. Maybe even a five year plan.

What's more insane is imagine if he ran in with a gopro - and captured something. Would anythimg happen? Would Trump dismiss it all away with some rant about aliens? Would people care enough or buy into the distraction? Who knows. Oh well.

Only worthwhile if it was livestreamed. Otherwise the cam would never have existed.
