More on the dinner shooting
Enhanced video footage of the attempted assassination at the White House Correspondents Dinner has revealed quite a lot that we didn’t know before. None of it is good.

Enhanced video footage of the attempted assassination at the White House Correspondents Dinner released over the past week has revealed quite a lot that we didn’t know before. None of it is good.
First thing, we’ll acknowledge that this was accomplished using AI, which means that it will be flawed and contain errors. That said, the errors will be in small details -- a hand raised at a slightly different angle, a mustache made to look too much like Hitler’s and so forth. The substantial imagery will remain the same. We’re not going to see people suddenly walking across ceilings or growing two heads.
So what do we see?
The perp, Cole Thomas Allen, did not come running around a corner toward the security cordon, as appeared to be the case in the unenhanced imagery. He emerged from a room (or hallway) opening up on the corridor about twenty feet back from the agents were gathered. There, he evidently readied his shotgun, a Mossberg Maverick, which he had smuggled in under his coat. It was equipped with a folding stock, which he needed to unfold and lock.
A K-9 agent (or cop – he was in uniform) stood in the doorway watching this procedure while doing absolutely nothing about it. His dog enters the room, but the agent brings him back out then turns and walks away. Cole Allen burst out and raced down the hall only a second later.
When Cole Allen appeared, several of the uniformed personnel standing against the wall, visible in the upper center, turned and fled a substantial distance down the corridor. This was visible in the original clip, but enhancement has given it a lot more significance.
So what are we to make of this?
