    I thought that the fake part was just that he hurt his ear while ducking down and since he’s an older man, a slight scratch can bleed quite a bit. So him claiming to be hit by the bullet was possibly fake.

    That doesn’t have to invoke a full blown conspiracy of multiple suicides and fake gun assault.

      In wrestling they will cut themselves with razor blades to make themselves bleed. He was heavily involved with the WWE and its owner for decades. The speculation was that he did something similar with the broken glass from the teleprompter. So what’s fake is that he saw the broken glass and when the shooter was down he cut himself in some place that bleeds well and jumped up to get the photo op.

      10 months ago lemmy was non-stop calling the whole thing a conspiracy. That seems to have shifted big time.

      But in any case, he got clipped on the ear and I can’t imagine why there seems to be this sub-conspiracy.
