Oh don't be so condescending, it was an attempt by all common definitions. And further, the FBI themselves is investigating the issue as an assassination attempt.
Not only do I think you are confused, I think you're being a bully about it and should check yourself.
It's one thing to think about, and even to write about it publicly (which he did)
But this guy, also went and brought his gun, scope, and armor to the place trump was known to be, waited for 12 hours, and then was finally caught one hole before trump would've been in sight if the early reports are to be believed.
If it is not an assassination attempt, what else could've it been? The guy made explicit public posts about assassinating trump, then went to where trump was with a gun, and then waited for trump to be in the sights of his gun. To me it sounds like the security agent interrupted his attempt at assassinating trump, not anything else.
I think it would be easy to suggest that, had that agent not interrupted that guy, he would've tried shooting at trump.
By no means do I support trump, but, my hate for him isn't so strong for it to deform reality I hope.
Oh damn, I totally missed that lol, I take back that part of my criticism - I also found the source from a yelp review I think and linked that as an update
This site is worse than a repost
The source is a reddit post it seems and Hindustan times is just doing a highlight reel of that post without linking it. Hindustan times has a low credibility score from https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/hindustan-times and didn't add any journalism
Searching it's quote's (being forced to use Google, since they pay Reddit to index them ...) it comes from this article
https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/1fb097q/where_would_you_report_this_kind_of_behaviour/
And doing a quick skim of comments there was no additional clarity.
So... Probably not real
UPDATE: I found the source, from yelp, with the name uncensored: https://www.yelp.com/biz/maxines-sparta
It's a small restaurant in Michigan, there's already people giving them flak and bad reviews, so please don't add to that
Fuck Kroger
They killed Lucky's. It was the best damn grocery store I've ever had. It had such potential.
I agree, I don't like all the self censorship that I think comes about from algorithms like tiktok - I'm not talking about ideas, but instead about literal words replacement censorship like "unalive" "seggs" and that like
I want people to be bold enough to use the real word - at least in irl conversation.
It feels way too much like Orwell's Newspeak
Roughly 12,600 7/11's in the US, so a 0.01% chance of any individual 7/11 getting a car on a given day, or a 1 in a thousand chance.
According to this https://slate.com/business/2022/06/car-crash-buildings-how-many.html about a 100 cars crash into buildings each day, so 7/11 makes up 1% of building crashes, but that tracks since a lot of people go to there for quick needs with distracted minds.
I don't have much of a point, but the statistics don't paint a some scary point that I think the lawyers are trying to make.
I think we're saying the same thing.
We can't go into the 2028 general strike thinking about self preservation - we can't go into the 2028 general strike unprepared.
We have less than 4 years to lay the ground work for a success that cannot be defeated by the capitalist class.
In my mind, that means all the above:
Voting allied people into federal, state, and local governments who won't massacre us this time, including sheriffs and mayors and governors and judges
Gathering people together to understand each other and build rapport and trust
Building the list of goals and demands so we have a definition of success that can be capitulated
Organizing support networks to ensure we don't starve or get evicted and etc, while on strike
The capitalist class will have an intelligence operation, they will know if they can simply wait us out or exploit weaknesses - if we prepare right, they will know that their best option is to give into our demands. The more prepared and united we are, the faster they'll surrender.
