Horrible videos. Hand of God if he survives.
Agreed. Saw a video. Does not look good at all.Quote:

The rhetoric from the left has caused this. Two attempts at Trump. Now this. This is the left.
Holy shit
Leftists are murderers
Here are some posts from Bluesky-
Suddenly Charlie Kirk is awful quiet about gun control isn't he
Kinda rings hollow that the same people condemning political violence because of the assassination of Charlie Kirk have been cheering on the mass starvation and slaughter of children in Gaza for years
Charlie Kirk wasn't killed by political violence. Charlie Kirk was killed by *gun* violence.
Charlie Kirk was a man of violence. He cheered for violence, he helped create violence. He used violent rhetoric to inspire others to violent actions. He spent his time on this earth making it a more hateful, violent place.
Better gun protection laws are needed in this country. Everyone was sending their thoughts and prayers to Charlie Kirk and that didn’t help,,,
Good lord. Prayers for Charlie's family.
The left is unhinged!
F.B.I. Director Kash Patel said the “subject for the horrific shooting today that took the life of Charlie Kirk is now in custody.”

RIP to a great thought leader. Left behind a wife and 2 small children.
So, are we done talking now?
The video of him getting shot? That was nothing.Quote:

So any leads?
There seems to be someone in custody?Quote:

I THINK that is where we are with this.
Kash just said the person of interest that was detained has been released
FBI said they have a suspect in custody again. Watching the video, it appeared the bullet ricocheted off his vest and into his neck.
Edit: second suspect, released, search continues
Charlie Kirk was connecting with many young adults and was challenging many many others to think.
The lone conservative voice to the young was silenced as He was a threat...
Correct.Quote:

Morning update, there is word that a bolt action 30-06 mauser rifle was recovered in the area with the spent shell still chambered, supposedly the cartridges in the rifle had some writing on them about transgenderism and anti facist ideology.
Word is that CK was answering a question about trans shooters when he was shot.
My personal belief is that this was a professional assassin, and the writing on the cartridges is meant to mislead.
"We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy" Barak Obama
Bullshit. He wasn't murdered in robbery, revenge or passion. He was assassinated because he was an effective political speaker. The ideas he put forth are so threatening to leftists that they had to silence him.
This isnt CNN. Well there are Socialists here - surprisingly silent BTW- but how about we hold off on some gossip? This happens every time and we can wait a moment or two for accurate information.Quote:

"... the writing on the cartridges is meant to mislead." And what does that mean? Please explain and clarify that one.
"Bullshit. He wasn't murdered in robbery, revenge or passion. He was assassinated because he was an effective conservative political speaker. The ideas he put forth are so threatening to leftists that they had to silence him."
Fixed it for ya!
HAHAHA! I'll take that bet.Quote:

No. Kirk's greatest impact came from the fact that he engaged in conversation even (especially?) with those who disagreed with him. His assassination is just one more example of how the victims of political violence actually end up being even stronger symbols and having even greater impact after their martyrdom.Quote:

Like most of these shootings, it takes hours/days to gather additional information, but it sounds like authorities are well on their way to identifying the shooter.
Just read the rifle they believe used was a .30 cal Mauser. Not what I was expecting.

Great Grampa's war relic. Perhaps the only firearm available.Quote:

No need to stoop to their level. Kirk's assassination brings to mind Obi-Wan telling Vader that he'll just be stronger than ever.
Probably a Mauser hunting rifle, not the Mauser of the German army. More than likely there are a ton of Mauser hunting rifles sitting on shelves in Utah gunshops.Quote:

I'm not sure if it was soft or hard armor but another theory is that it was spalling from the plate that came up and hit him in the throat. Maybe a glancing shot that hit the edge of the plate?
Either way it looks like it was a chest shot that hit the target/plate based on how his shirt moved but unfortunately found a way to still kill him...
Fucking terrible and I'm so pissed right now.
Looks "Sporterized" and Bubbaed.Quote:

These people are ugly humans (I guess they're human). The a-hole who killed Charlie deserves to die a slow and painful death, and those who celebrate the loss of life deserve to die as well, but that's all in God's time and in His hands - and I while I don't really pity the fools who have it coming (maybe I should... but I can't right now), retribution and justice cannot come soon enough.
Get out there, get some lead down range, be ready, and keep'em locked and loaded... Invest in precious metal (brass and lead), make sure you carry always, and be safe out there...
I think people are finally waking up to the level of hate and contempt the left have for us.

So the video of the perp. Jumping off the roof, he has no rifle. How does the rifle make it to the forest? Spotter?
I saw a video of him walking to the event through a neighborhood, looked like he had a rifle in his pant leg walking stiff legged.
