   They get them wrong more or leave them out more when they don't correspond   
   with the warped view of reality that floats around in their walnut-brain   
   heads, one of those notions being that the only people who are prone to   
   "political violence" are on the right and are motivated in each instance   
   by dangerious rightwing rhetoric. Witness the morons here and elsewhere   
   who are saying this was staged or a "false flag" operation.   
      
   I saw one comment on a video where someone said it couldn't be called an   
   assassination attempt until it was ruled out that there weren't two people   
   shooting at each other, and Trump just happened to be in the line of fire.   
      
   I believe that the "false flag" and "Trump happened to be in the way"   
   theories sound less farfetched to the typical CNN and Washington Post   
   writer than they do to me.

   You see Trump flinching and drawing his hand to his right ear less than a   
   second after the first shot is fired. You can hear a man shouting "Shooter   
   is down!" clearly as all get-out less than a minute after the gunshots are   
   heard. You see the blood on Trump's ear and face. Within minutes, there   
   were writnesses on the scene, being interviewed, talking about the other   
   victims who were shot before their eyes. It wasn't going to turn out to be   
   something else.   
      
   CNN and the Washington Post were behind the curve in calling them gunshots   
   and an assassination attempt because they _wanted_ it to be something   
   else, not because they were being careful to jump to conclusions. If they   
   were trying not to jump to any conclusions, they wouldn't have declared   
   that Trump fell.
