Lots of food for thought in there.
I have an interest in concealing long guns as my state isn’t open carry and I don’t want the neighbors being concerned when they see me and my tacticool gear wandering off into the woods. I hike down the trail a ways, then assemble whatever I have that day.
I have several single-shot rifles and shotguns that break down fairly easily. For that sort of thing, you only need remove a single screw/pin. I only have three that will completely fit in a backpack, even my gigantic CamelBak, and two of those are a literal stretch. A 30.06 Mauser does not break down into a small package. Still pretty bulky.
The claim of a 30.06 round doing so little damage is not compelling. Those rounds are monsters compared to typical AR-15 rounds. When he said there was no exit wound, I scoffed at first. Hitting a ballistic dummy in the skull isn’t as convincing as replicating the test vs. the neck. But I think he’s right. Wouldn’t blood have sprayed out the back? And even if you don’t hit bone, the shockwave from such a caliber in soft tissue would be stunning. I’m not so sure that wouldn’t not have all but decapitated him.
Think he has an error in the timeline. Did the FBI claim the shooter changed clothes after taking the shot, or after escaping? Also, even if someone on the street noticed his huge rifle poking out his bag, Utah is an open carry state and I didn’t see anyone on the street reacting as if they knew there a shooting had occurred. No idea how common an unconcealed rifle is, but I would assume it’s a bit strange. Anyone?
Two other things; I don’t see the kid’s family screaming that he didn’t do it. And the trans lover? Well, Charlie’s trans hate would make a good motive, but trans people are so rare it’s a little too pat that his lover happened to be one.
I’ve been wrong on more than one aspect of this thing, so take all that as you will.
As with all the shootings “under” Trump a lot of weird and suspicious circumstances happened.
Things are far to convenient, again, the first time maga needed a miraculously missed shot, this time maga needed a martyr.
Not just a martyr to rile up the crowds again (to forget the pain of the tariffs and the epstein files) but also one to be used by the regime as an excuse to tighten the reigns. Any negative comment on charlie kirk is a negative view on Trump and will be forbidden…
Ofcourse the shooter was immediately declared to be on the left, not just as hearsay from the crowd but by the president himself, who in the same sentence tried to unleash violence on anyone on the left.
Also, I have not looked into this, but is the roommate/boyfriend even trans? The messages alone seem to point towards being gay, but I have not seen anything else making it clear. Claiming a “trans influence” is another good convenience to rile up the masses against the great trans evil, no matter the rarity.
Plus he took the time to change clothes, but stashed his rifle somewhere, in as you say, an open carry area, unable to break it down to fit in a large inconspicuous bag?
Anyway, I had my doubts if the fbi would release, let’s say, an untampered report, and this post helps solidify that.
Is that stare from KP supposed to be intimidating? He looks like a deer in headlights.
Well, as opposed to 7/10 and 9/11, the m0$$@d just did the execution, not the pr campaign.
With Kirk they thought leaving the pr fallout in the hands of the FBI and us media would make for a better distraction than if they had handled it.
Also, they’re really tied up in other places these days.
Why would Israel take him out so publicly if not to send a message? You kinda have to claim responsibility to get the message out. Why would the court American outrage in case of revaluation? We’ll pay for their genocide, but murdering an American citizen on American soil would be explosive.
I’d sooner believe the American government did it to get a matyr, a modern Horst Wessel. And that would be ridiculous.
Because Kirk was the next Trump. And he had changed his view on the genocide.
He was very influential among a key demographic that is already testy on supporting Israel.
Moreover, the people who need to know, know. The plebs don’t need to know about this. Plus it already has a public function: demonising the left.
Same with the Epstein files. Patel and Bondi are brought in - grossly under qualified, then shown that “you touch this, you die”, and so they walk the line. In the power circles like the disney and abc boards they know how this works too, which is why they preemptively fall in line with fascism rather than fight it.
You don’t need to claim it to send a message.
For example look at Russia. If you see a defenestration in Russia or a radioactive-metal poisoning on Europe, you know it was the Russian government. They can say it wasn’t them and still send the message.
I’m not saying this is such case though.
