I stated my view on the OP. If you disagree, fine....share your own view. Leave it at that.

I read some conspiracy theories about the incident; none involved "he didn't fire". They're about "it was staged". The two aren't obviously connected. You think they are, but won't say how.

My view is that the security would have been justified in opening fire even if he hadn't; it's like the invasion of Congress on Jan 6th; a breach of the point by someone intent on getting access to many people who were being protected, and who are likely targets of political violence, justifies potentially lethal use of force.

Your view is "some conspiracy theories" are now not "theories". But you won't say which. And are you saying "they are true"? If so, in what way?

... never fired and never got hit. TACO heads the Gang That Can't Shoot Straight. Let alone make a plot work.

The initial objection was that he hadn't shot the officer. One of the usual Gamers came around to show all the credulous libs that he was charged (or perhaps seemed to have been) with discharging a firearm, which is an altogether different thing. This was supposed to be great own, but it was at best non-responsive to the question. Now the question is did he even discharge a weapon. It seems clear that federal prosecutors don't believe he actually hit anyone. But did either of his weapons even fire?

Whose hands is the GSR actually on?

again misses "shooter".

WTF, Being able to shoot is a big part of the job description. That poor quality marksmanship is simple incompetence.

Everything Trump touches turns to poo. R I P S S!

The guy appeared to be running at top speed.

I don't care if you're Deadeye Dick, in real life it's hard to hit someone moving that fast.

Deadeye Dick might have missed, but there is no excuse for a well trained marksman to miss either shot. Remember, the Secret Service is supposed to be the best of the best.

This is why felonious trump lumped the left, media, all that he hates and wants to hurt with this suspect.

Get ahead of the findings and control the narrative which his followers will lap up like a cat and antifreeze.

We won't know the truth with anything these assholes sell us

That's my theory, and I'm sticking to it.

It turns out that evidence recovery is "not an exact science". Who knew? SMH
