Nothing from the corporate media can be taken at face value when it comes to this assassination attempt. Nothing.

No, that wasn't the implication.
The implication is that the photographer was in on the conspiracy.

Wonder why he was shooting at such a fast shutter speed for still shots of a speech.
He probably was going for a really shallow depth of field to blur out the background of people. With it being outside in bright sun shooting with a wide open lens like a f/2 you would have to have a very fast shutter speed to keep the bright light from blowing out the photo.

On hot/humid days, trace can be seen with the naked eye.
The reason you usually *don't* see it (it's still there though) is because time of flight (ToF) is pretty short for the ranges most people shoot. Milliseconds. You simply don't pick it up in time.
Long shots with a ToF of +1s, you can basically watch trace all the way downrange.
Capturing it on camera isn't uncommon or surprising.
Even cooler is shooting pistol on a bight sunny day at 100+ yds. Velocity is low enough you can often see your rounds flying downrange, especially if the sun is glinting off of them. .45ACP is so big and slow, you can watch those cans-of-beans lobbing downrange.

Dude why do you keep calling me a liberal. You know I'm anything but a liberal, but either you're an idiot and ignore all of my trashing of liberals and their ignorant policies or you're just a disingenuous twat waffle that gaslights just like liberals when anyone doesn't think exactly like they / (you) do.
Now that we have that settled. No one needs a fake picture of a vapor trail next to Trump's head to know that the liberals incited an assassination attempt on him. Clowns that think the assassination attempt was faked or not a big deal aren't going to believe anything else no matter how much evidenced (or fake evidence) is presented.
You know Proximo, people would take you a lot more serious if you stopped acting like a piss pants liberal and sky screaming every time you disagree with someone, or in this case totally don't understand what is being said.

Everything that has ever occurred is a conspiracy!!

I honestly think it’s actually part of his ear that is visible, flesh and blood, not the actual bullet.
That certainly makes the trail more visible. The bullet punched through a little fleshy part of his ear and is still spinning throwing off bits and pieces.

I absolutely believe this.
I know I saw what looked like a spray, though to be fair, I know it could have been video artifacts from fast changing frames under compression.

You’re an idiot and a clown thinking it’s photoshop, period

With a short focal lens like a 24mm and a wide open aperture at f/1.6 if he didn’t have his shutter speed very high, all of his photos would have been badly overexposed.

Pure luck, the bullet was slowed ever so slightly after passing through ear cartilage. But the photographer was expecting a head shot.

I like Yon but this is some disingenuous bullshite. He's generating clicks, he knows it, so does anybody with a pulse.

That's the pressing question that needs an answer. Not how a 20 year old virgin loser who probably beat off to animated porn outsmarted The DEI secret service leader and managed to climb on the roof of a sloped building, that was SECURED FROM THE INSIDE, because they were scared to put SS on this sloped roof but not the other sloped roof that showed 2 SS agents.
Damn I'm glad these dumbass people focus on the big issues

Sad that people just straight to conspiracy on everything. That picture isn’t photoshopped- Trump’s ear was shot with a bullet. These are the facts

He was toting the camera and holding it overhead - lots of potential for camera shake - plenty of light - background not important = shutter speed as fast as available light permits.
As someone else pointed out, I was curious as to why the cameramen were moving around like they were = in the middle of an assassination attempt where the security detail is likely to just shoot any potential threat - I'd have laid low

I just expect it now from certain fringes no matter what the incident is, but Yon knows better, and if he doesn't he should. I've always considered him a serious journalist and this should be beneath him.
