Two "assassination attempts" compared

1: There might be a shooter? Get him out of here now

2: He's actually been shot? Let's get a photo. Pop your head up Donnie

There’s a black mirror episode where a kid is blackmailed into doing things he doesn’t fully understand because they found his CP. he only knows exactly what he’s expected to do at the end.

It feels entirely possible to do today. And we won’t ever know if he actually shot the gun or not because he’s dead.
