I’m seeing a bunch of posts insinuating that this most recent assassination attempt was fake. Why do people think this? I’m out of the loop.

    Because it has more than enough plausibility based on a number of statements and observations that are well documented?

      It’s not particularly plausible. If you want to stage a shooting, you’d either kill the “shooter” or avoid capturing them.

      … regardless, another theory is that this is hate spamming. Alot of these poorly implemented misinformation campaigns serve no purpose other than to torment a person or organization. The lemmy administrators did recently get into a spat with someone who seems…motivated and unique.
