That hit was so unprofessional, i.e. it missed, that I would sooner believe it was faked than official. But much more likely the violent rhetoric caused unrest in the person's mind.

Even so, the spin machine will figure out how best to "use" it, over the next few days.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist in the least, but the fact that some random guy in the crowd saw the shooter on the roof but not one of the many Secret Service agents there noticed a sniper has me at least open to the idea that it was fake. It's not like Trump's team don't know that plenty of Republicans are just looking for an excuse to violently support their dear leader.

But I agree that it's more likely that someone just snapped.
