    I'd let that kid take that same shot at me under the same conditions (just scampered up a building, full of adrenaline, trying to hide, knowing counter snipers are bearing down on him, peering over a ridge, hurried his shot) for a guaranteed $10M to me and/or my family. I think you could a given that kid a bucket of bullets and he kills me maybe 4 times.

    I kind of wonder if the lone gunman actually got a shot off.

    There were observers on the ground that saw snipers on the 2nd floor behind the sacrificial lamb that's taking the heat as a lone gunman. From that 2nd floor they would have had a clear view of the lone gunman and also a clear view of the former president.can anyone not from the FBI definitely say where the shots came from?

    One in Three Biden Supporters Think Trump Shooting Might Have Been Staged

    One third of those who support Joe Biden said they believe the attack may have been staged and had never been intended to kill the former president.

    Believe it or not, I've heard this nonsense from people I know.

    My reaction: Yeah, right. How's that work? DT says "OK guys, one of you blow my ear off and whack a voter behind me. Assuming nothing goes wrong, people will flock to my campaign. What could go wrong?"

    Maybe we shouldn't have removed critical thinking from the curriculum in our public schools? The Dumbing Down of America that took place once the shock of WW2 wore off.

    Just my opinion. I didn't check with Tik Tok or instagram, so, probably meaningless to today's generation.

    Ran across this after I made my ridiculous conspiracy theory about a second shooter. The shots do sound different.

    How many shell casings did the FBI say they found on the roof next to the shooter or on the ground under the drip line from that roof?
    I'm sure they said but I must have missed it.

    No. Staged and rigged are two different things.

    https://thehill.com/homenews/4788190-local-officers-left-post-trump-shooting/

    After identifying Crooks as a suspicious person, the two officers, situated on the second story of the building located right next to the building Crooks eventually shot from, left their post to search for Crooks on the ground.

    Col. Christopher L. Paris, PSP’s commissioner, said he was informed the two officers “were searching alongside other local officers in the immediacy after Crooks had been identified as a suspicious person.”

    “Are you then saying from your knowledge that those ESU officers left the location where they could look out the window in search of this person?” Rep. Dan Bishop (R-N.C.) asked Paris.

    “Yes, that is my understanding,” Paris responded.


    A local police officer did approach Crooks on the roof, after being hoisted up by another officer — but then dropped back onto the ground after Crooks leveled a rifle at him, according to Paris and other officials.

    Paris on Tuesday estimated that encounter occurred 2-3 minutes before Crooks fired at Trump, but said he did not know what communications occurred with the Secret Service during that interim time.

    The US Capitol has been illegally occupied for two days now.

    Since the capitol is owned by "the people", how is it illegally occupied?

    Well, technically so is Ft. Knox and the Federal Reserve. Try to occupy them and see how it goes.

    Not my wtf by the way, but you did kinda miss my point.

    And now may I present the dumbing down of the internet

    AI trained on AI garbage spits out AI garbage
    What’s new: AI models work by training on huge swaths of data from the internet. But as AI is increasingly being used to pump out web pages filled with junk content, that process is in danger of being undermined. New research shows that the quality of the model’s output gradually degrades when AI trains on AI-generated data. As subsequent models produce output that is then used as training data for future models, the effect gets worse.

    Why it matters: This research may have serious implications for the largest AI models of today, because they use the internet as their database. And the problem is likely to get worse as an increasing number of AI-generated junk websites start cluttering up the internet.
