Will we ever know why the shooter shot Trump? (lemmy.ml)

I think bad decisions influence him cause he was younger than me. It makes me want to know what happened in his life he was able to buy an AR-15 at 22 I think. He had a good life going and it's like no he tried to shoot Trump and I wonder why? I don't see how you can just hate someone that much to also end your life over.

Maybe it was just to have the ear of the president.

It was just ear piercing from long distance....

So this is the kind of piercing gun they use for earrings

It's a new NRA service, they needed some big influencers to start promoting it

maybe he was out of earshot of the president and wanted to be in it.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It seems odd this happened; President Trump has an ear to the ground.

He was listening for the sign, but someone called the shot too loudly. That's probably why his ear hurts.
