We hear that the attempted assassin was 130 yards away from Trump. Why only that?

Let me provide you perspective.

• Place President Trump’s Stage just outside the end zone of an American football field.
• Then the sniper was outside the other end zone up in the 15th row of the bleachers.
• That is about 150 yards.

It serves to mock the “anybody can make a mistake crowd” who don’t want you to envision such a comparison. Don’t let them continue in that absurd excuse. With this vision in your mind, you know this is no mere mistake.

My fondest wish is my readers will offer the following comparison every time someone repeats one of the excuses. We want to force other media outlets to respond to it with whatever sophistry they wish to invent. (Their best answer is to run away like Cheatle has been doing.)

“If you were at an event where just about everybody was at one end of the football stadium, how likely would it be that not a single law enforcement would see a lone gunman at the far end of the stadium setting up his strike-point?”

Let me provide author Sarah Hoyt thanks for the inspiration to think in this manner with her latest “implausible” blog entry: Told By An Idiot.

In case anyone suspects that somebody must already have made this comparison, I first checked the web. I came up with this:

Is football field and 130 yards mentioned in any article?

Yes, the combination “football field” and “130 yards” is mentioned in two articles.

• In the article titled “Football pitch”, it is stated that “The two touchlines are between 100 and 130 yards (91 and 119 metres) long and have to be of the same length.”
• In the article titled “How Many Yards Is A Football Field 2024? NFL Football Field”, it is mentioned that “The football field clipart must be between 100 and 130 yards long, and between 53 and 59 yards wide.”

These articles suggest that the range of 100 to 130 yards is considered acceptable for the length of a football field, although the standard NFL field is typically 100 yards long.
