Just want to clear something up

[Mr.WeRP]

Any person with minimal training could have made the shot from 200 yards. Military marksman, lowest rated specialized shooting badge, at least in the 1980s, was only required to hit a torso sized target at 400 yards with an M-16 with a peep sight. I know, because this is how I earned my badge.

Anyone, with minimal training could hit a head or neck shot with a hunter rifle at 200 yards.

Just saying, I see a lot of nonsense here about a pro hit job. What happened today was not that.

A pro with a sniper rifle would have made the same shot from at least 1.5 miles away.

1. It was a clean shot to the carotid artery. You can find a closeup video on REDDIT

IMO, the shooter know what he was doing and had training.

[Mr.WeRP]

6. Clean shot easy from that distance with a hunting rifle

[BidenRocks]

13. Low wind and downhill?

Piece of cake.

[Frasier Balzov]

2. But getting away and giving the law the slip?

That compounds the difficulty of the crime by a lot.

[Qutzupalotl]

3. He was a good shot.

It's the vanishing part that to me suggests professionalism or specialized training and gets me all

[Mr.WeRP]

4. Shot could have easily been made from a commercially available drone

Not hard to disappear when you aren’t there.

Tech has come a really long way.

Just ask anyone who has served time in Ukraine.

[ecstatic]

7. they have drones that can shoot rifle bullets?

[Mr.WeRP]

8. Absolutely.

Not hard to home grow one either.

[BidenRocks]

14. Ukraine Did That

[Qutzupalotl]

10. There were early reports of a guy on a roof in dark clothing.

Maybe we'll catch him. I hope we do.

[ecstatic]

5. trump is behind it. IMO. I can't picture

kirk being at the top of any leftwing hit list.

[Coventina]

12. As much as I detested him, he wasn't on my list either

Attention FBI: I don't have a list.

[Silent Type]

9. True, but clearly not someone walking by who said "well chit I'll get my 15 minutes of fame."

And he got away.

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. Oh.

Okay.

15. What you said ....
