The obvious and most immediate explanation that is going to come to everyone’s mind when they hear the media come out with their “lone gunman with inexplicable access to a sniper perch” is going to be that this was an attempted assassination by the CIA, and the Secret Service was in on it. There’s a reason why they’re not the greatest optics of all time, and you all know what it is. It’s sickening to me that there is a female SS officer in that shot. It really damages what would be the most iconic image of this century. However, it will also let future historians know in a second what was going on in this strange epoch we are all living through. (These future historians will be working in male-only universities, where the “women’s rights” debate revolves around whether or not it should be legal to teach women to read.)
