The bullet missed. The injury to his ear was from the secret service agent slamming against his head as he ducked down. Replay footage of the event confirmed.

But I doubt it was staged. It was a real assassination attempt. Maybe the next one will go better. Thoughts and prayers.

Are we sure the real target wasn’t the guy who actually got shot?

I'd laugh, if this was a jest. But I remember reading it was a firefighter. Even if they were diet fascist, the loss of innocent life is heartbreaking.

There are no innocent people at a Nazi rally.

Both sides dehumanizing each other is why this is so going to end really, really messily.

I do agree that it will get messy. The nazis started this civil war though, the blood is on their hands.

The blood might also have come from scraping the back of his hand against the agent's pistol when he first ducked down. Either way, superficial injury and the bullet was likely way off based on the angles.
