johnkrane.bsky.social @johnkrane.bsky.social · 21/10/2025It's important to remember that fascists will pretend to support popular policies to get power.

johnkrane.bsky.social @johnkrane.bsky.social · 12/09/2025This is what I was trying to say the other day. It's difficult to get across the nuance of, "this guy probably shot regularly" and "most people could make this shot if they grew up around guns." For non-gun folk, it's much more exciting to think "sniper." That's gonna fuel some conspiracity. 030
johnkrane.bsky.social @johnkrane.bsky.social · 11/09/2025this post made me realize that "well, tbf, every day has an event that could fuel an assassination attempt" may not be the healthiest status quo for a society 050
johnkrane.bsky.social @johnkrane.bsky.social · 11/09/2025My concern is that describing the shooter as having a great deal of acumen might fuel conspiracy theories at this stage. I'm just saying it's not "had to be an ex-sniper!" level. More like "darn good shootin'" level. (mentally substitute a neutral phrase for "darn good," I can't think of one) 150
johnkrane.bsky.social @johnkrane.bsky.social · 11/09/2025I think I could have written my post more clearly; blind luck is very unlikely. I was expressing that it's a possibility. This is almost certainly someone with a decent amount of experience. It's just not "had to be an ex-sniper" level, which may be important when the conspiracy theories start. 010
johnkrane.bsky.social @johnkrane.bsky.social · 10/09/2025I think your point was clear. The shot's at about a 4 MOA standard, it's impressive under stress but not absolutely insane like some are speculating. Certainly an experienced shooter or someone with insane luck, but that's about all we can know from just the distance and the result. 3140

johnkrane.bsky.social @johnkrane.bsky.social · 26/08/2025It should also be stressed that making "compromises" regarding the rights of trans folk weakens the rights of cis folks, too. If trans people are forced into hiding, the fascists will just look for another target. They will never, ever stop pressing. 120
