I didn't see the shooting today or any of what I gather are the ongoing, incessant replays. I do see a lot of people on the right immediately trying to blame it on the left and a lot of people on the left saying (or at least wondering aloud if) it was a staged stunt. Such is the mood of America these days.
Was it legit? This is another one of my incessant "I dunno" posts. I do know that if Biden was the target, the Alex Joneses of the world would never be convinced it wasn't a planned stunt. If the tide going out would in any way benefit the left, they'd all be insisting it was a False Flag operation and any fish left on the beach were Crisis Actors. Or Crisis Mackerels or something. I suppose we'll be hearing theories of the shooting in some form or other forever no matter what the forensics show.
I've been saying for some time — here and in conversations with friends — that where things stand in the polls now doesn't matter that much because a lot of things are going to happen which may seriously alter the dynamics of this race. Biden's bad debate performance was one of them. This is another. There will be more. Hopefully, none will be lethal.
