Just aim for the upper body, idiot.
Hey, man, maybe he did. You do better!
Like. Now. They’ll never expect a copycat so soon!
So you’re right but also chances are by now we’ve all seen enough media to make the guess “bullet proof vest”
The power vacuum would’ve been insane. I can’t imagine how quickly Republicans would try to steal his fanbase to get a presidential bid.
It would quickly degenerate into a contest to say the craziest shit possible. It might seem like we’re already there, but right now there’s an established level of crazy required to stay in the MAGA camp. If Trump has died the desperation to fill the void would crank it up to 11.
I don’t like former presidents that have been shot. They’re losers and suckers.
Wasn’t it the glass from the shattering teleprompter that hit him?
There’s no way this dumbfuck uses a teleprompter. Not only that, why would it be behind him? The teleprompter thing is out of the question.
Just imagine the carnage if his hands had been just slightly larger.
What a shot! To capture a bullet in a photo? Damn that’s lucky
More likely it’s a single frame from a high speed shutter or high quality video. A lot of cameras I think can be set to do a rapid fire series of shots, you hear the clicks when you see them in movies or the news sometimes.
I know, I’m a sports photographer myself. The photographers probably had more or less 12fps set in the camera, more would probably be overkill for a journalist portrait basically.
Even so, you can miss something like this if you start taking photos too late or too early. I had this situation many times when a footballer goes for a header and I get a photos of the ball coming towards him and going away from him, but not the moment he touches the ball. 12fps means a photo every 83ms and you can still miss it. Not to mention a bullet going a bit faster than a ball. Everything happens faster than we realise.
Not to mention shutter speed, how fast the shutter goes down, exposing the sensor. Too fast and you won’t get that streak, too slow and you’ll entirely miss it.
Okay here’s the chance for a math wiz to step up, guesstimate the shutter speed, calculate the length of the bullet in the frame, and determine what velocity the projectile was going after impact. Why? I don’t know. Science? Perhaps.
Mathematician here. Looks like it’s going about as fast as a bullet.
