AccidentalRenaissance is for photos that look like Renaissance paintings.

This means that they look like Renaissance art in their composition, their coloring, their saturation, the angle of the scene, the types of settings, etc.

πŸ‘‰ Must be a photo. Not a meme, drawing, art, ai-generated or ai-enhanced image, screenshot, low-effort post, meta posts, video, or anything else but a photo.

πŸ‘‰ Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".

πŸ‘‰ Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.

πŸ‘‰ The Renaissance part (not the photo itself) must be accidental to the photograph. In other words, no photos of Renaissance fairs, people dressed in medieval/Renaissance clothes, etc.

πŸ‘‰ NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.

πŸ“Έ If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ¦― Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone.

It wasn't some kind of impossible shot.

Let me guess, you’ve never fired a rifle while amped up on adrenaline. If you had you’d know most shots will miss unless you’re conditioned to the adrenaline response. Shaky hands and near hyperventilation make for horrible shot groups.

125 yards is only an easy shot for a professional shooter who has been exposed to duress to numb that adrenaline response. This was a 20 year old kid who had never been to war.

Way easier shot if you bring a fucking scope

Kid didn’t have a scope on that rifle?

I did not see one on the rifle in the tmz video of him opening fire and getting counter sniped

I've seen other comments saying the same but maybe wait for more official reporting because it was video taken by an attendee on their phone. Not the highest/clearest quality

we'll add that one to the "impulse killing with a truck gun" theory, then

125 is a mid range shot.

Maybe I'm over estimating the ability of the shooter, but not only can I make that kind of shot now, I could at that age. If you can't climb a tree stand and make a clean shot with your heart pumping, you aren't going to even get close to the target anyway.

Adrenaline is a huge factor, I can't deny that. But if it was enough of a factor to foul the shot, that was an incredibly lucky earpiercing.

I dunno, maybe I am just too used to good shooting. My grandfather was a competitive shooter, and he's the one that taught all of us. Most of my family that shoots could make that shot and it wouldn't be anything to brag about at camp.

But the rest of it still smacks of a planned shooting that wasn't supposed to kill trump.

I think "Planned Non-Lethal Shot At POTUS's Head" falls on the wrong side of Occam's Razor.
