Who Shot dJRt
yeah i imagine given how exposed he was, he probably shot the second he crawled into a firing position
Unless this kid was an expert, it would be very difficult to get a hit. Completely ignoring the assumption that he was probably rushing through all of this, you still need to stabilize the rifle with something else than just your arms, and even if he had planted shooting sticks, depending on the scope, moving just a tiny amount one direction can cuase you to lose sight of the person fand have to re align. If he just climbed up there, and aimed in a rush, he needs to get pretty damn lucky to hi
So you're saying that "ear" was a good result? Hardly seems worth it.

this is true. 150m is an easy hit if you're properly set up. it's not clear how much time he had to set up. and adrenaline gotta be going a thousand. if he quickly crawled into position, raised the rifle and shot, hitting the ear is pretty good. if he had more time, and was properly set up, anything less than a middle of the head shot is pretty damn bad. not sure if he had iron sights or a scope, but you'd think he would've properly calibrated it ahead of time. maybe he didn't which would be max lol
Probably a dumb question, but why are we not aiming this tub of lard centre mass? Seems like a much bigger target.

If you shoot a lot picking up a gun and quickly nailing a target at a ~100yds isn't really too difficult. The big stressor is being in the wide open/probably jacked on adrenaline and doing that knowing the inevitable incoming rounds land in seconds.

witness said the kid was up on the roof for several minutes. unclear how much of that was crawling vs him getting or being set up

Bro, do you even play videogames? Headshot is where it's at.
The serious answer is that this guy just wasn't very good at being an assassin.
Not many people are, fortunately. I'm a terrible rifle shot -- generally hit the target somewhere, but not the bull except by a one-in-five chance. Lee Oswald was rated a very good rifle shot in the Marines, though once he'd proved it (and it's simply a knack) he stopped bothering, characteristically, and was graded quite low the next time. On the day, of course, he shot well, though it still took him three goes, and was armed with an excellent rifle -- you can disregard Oliver Stone's nonsense about 'the world's worst shoulder weapon' -- plus a scope, and the range was quite close.
In Dallas, the Secret Service should have asked local police to restrict access to the upper floors of buildings on Main and in Dealey Plaza while the motorcade was passing. This time, there was obviously a security failure because a man carrying a rifle, which is difficult to conceal, shouldn't have been allowed to reach a vantage point.

If you can have a few seconds to shot a coupla rounds (semi-auto rifle), then center mass is the target unless you are a very capable shot (Chris Kyle.... .50 caliber which is way Biglier than .22). Classic pattern (for self-defense close in work) is two to the body then one to the head.
I have heard that the rifle was a .22 and/but I am not that knowledgeable on rifles. If a .22, then windage may have been an issue since the lead is very lightweight. Also... and again this is limited rifle knowledge.... I would think a single shot from that distance would need to get awfully "lucky" to hit centermass IN A CRITICAL SPOT for a kill. If successful with a headshot, the chances are better for success.
Is there something definitive out there that the ear was from a bullet and not a richochet/shrapnel thing?
I’ve read teleprompter glass, then seen that “bullet photo” thing.

I'm no crimescene detective, but the probabililty of a ricochet hitting trump perfectly in the ear seems astronomically low.
No lower than it hitting anywhere else, unless you mean intentionally.
the teleprompters looked fine after
