I don't think they realize what they're getting themselves into. Shooting at military personnel is a far cry from throwing bottles at the castrated Portland police.
Yeah but that crew has a different style. The hardcore cartel guys would never do something so cowardly. They are way more deliberate. Shooting at aircraft does not send the desired message.
Maybe a loco lone wolf with several screws loose. Hard to say, but hope we find out soon.
Seems like a really low reward though. Their MO is typically a higher payoff than plinking at the clouds. This smells more like some loner domestic dissident.
Hard to say but speculating about the enemy is a good mental exercise.
“One individual in the helicopter sustained a non-threatening injury, for which he was treated and subsequently released from the hospital,” the bureau added.
The FBI is investigating, and I'm sure the military is doing its own as well though this isnt mentioned in any of the articles.
True but a shot at any moving object takes some practice shooting. This shooter may have shot at them many times and never hit them until today. For it to cause injury means the round would be significant to impact military helicopter.
Yeah, not the hardest shot in the world, especially if you just unload at a good lead and slowly shorten it. Bullet drop at 350 isnt enough to be a big issue.
Hell of a thing to not just shoot at military assets, but ones assigned to safeguard POTUS. Thinking perhaps its not just an antifa fucker or some insurgent durkadurka but is more deep-state than not.
God speed to all involved in bringing down the hammer on the responsible parties!

We don't know who "they" are yet regarding this incident.
This does not fit the usual pattern of deranged leftist antifa behavior. Could be a different faction.
My son is in the military. He gets all his news from r/politics. The guys in his unit HATE President Trump. He does, too.
Blue shirts off, red pill on.

Sounds like the injured person is thankfully ok:

Oh boy the FBI, I'm sure we'll find out what happened then.
I'm sure they're busy destroying the evidence already.
Let's do this!
Exactly what I said. I am ready to flatten the commie curve.
Hose them down with the Mini Gun
ITS PUT DA DILDO IN THE BUCKET OR IT GETS THE MINI GUN AGAIN

Antifa don’t surf
I wonder what type of gun was used. Shooting a helicopter cabin while moving is tough to do without shooting experience.
Depends on the altitude really.
True but a shot at any moving object takes some practice shooting. This shooter may have shot at them many times and never hit them until today. For it to cause injury means the round would be significant to impact military helicopter.
1000 feet, according to one of the news stories on this.I assume it happened mid-flight since they had to divert to closest airport.
Yeah, not the hardest shot in the world, especially if you just unload at a good lead and slowly shorten it. Bullet drop at 350 isnt enough to be a big issue.
We imported the third world. Now we're third worlders.
“The FBI is investigating the incident, involving a helicopter assigned to President Donald Trump’s support detail.”😳

Oh no. I don't think them Ninjas ought to have done that. They will be investigating the crap outta that.
This will just be used as an excuse to take our guns even more.
All they need is trigonometry and their flight data. They could pinpoint the location of the shot within 10 feet.
could it be a stray bullet since hitting a moving chopper at 1k feet would be hard
