I'm not a gun guy and I've been lazy (I only read the very short article) but to me it seems like a 10/10 "What the fuck were they thinking?" screw up by the Secret Service.
Sniper shot at former President Donald Trump from 130 yards away on roof of manufacturing plant
Judging by photos that caught the bullets in flight the shots were at the correct height. The shoot missed to the sides of the target not up/down. Genuine incompetence.
Lack of trigger discipline then. I sentence him to more range time in hell.

It's not that much of a jump tbh

If you're ideologically committed enough to get to that point your dork ass is probably tripping on adrenaline
Maybe some main-character syndrome at work too.
I'd think it's more of some kind of twisted martyrdom since it's something you won't be walking away from if you're doing dork shit by yourself.
