Probably. I saw the video when I didn't know what happened. I thought he was shot from another building nearby and he was surrounded by a large crowd.

But I will admit I have zero knowledge about guns and how they work.

As a non-American, the craziest part for me was that a random 22-year-old had sniper level skills and access to professional grade weapons. I don't think most gun owners outside can shoot with such precision.

But sure make it about "left wing"

US has become an unreliable destination now for many

Bill Grueskin @bgrueskin.bsky.social · Aug 22

Your occasional reminder -- as arrivals on student visas decrease 28% -- that tuition from foreign students counts as an export, which means that every rejected student visa is going to contribute to the US trade deficit.
