It was a truly wildly impressive shot. One single shot taken over 200 yards away through a very limited angle that made an instant-kill hit, and no suspect in custody? Hmm…
It is extremely convenient that this happened immediately after the publication of the Epstein birthday book.
Quite true… trumps already really good at distracting from his damning significant crimes with other crimes. I can’t think of a week in 2025 where there’s not something significant enough that they’d be looking for a distraction.
Like Trump needs distraction. He could breathe slightly funny or his hands could turn a different shade of purple and the news circus would move on from the birthday book tomorrow, which doesn’t even confirm anything we didn’t already know.
Killer was well-prepared and a good shot, unlike the weirdo who tried to take out Trump. The only unusual thing is that people who have the mental acumen to actually pull something like this off and not get caught immediately tend to be mentally stable enough not to attempt something like that.
But times are a-changing and political violence in the US is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. People forgot that the Rule of Law and Social Contract were meant not just as ways to prevent conservatives from implementing ethnic/religious fundamentalism, but also to prevent this exact kind of thing happening. Trump is at the helm of a government he seemingly distrusts, whose own rules he constantly breaks or ignores, whose institutions he actively sabotages, whose fundamental principles he spits on. As a consequence trust in all three branches of government is crumbling, which inevitably legitimizes political violence as a last resort vector of change.
I wouldn’t necessarily say that. I used to shoot competitively (service rifle across-the-course), and we’d shoot 200 yards off-hand. We don’t know if the shooter was prone, sitting/kneeling, or standing. If they were standing (because they wanted to beat a quick retreat) then it was a hell of a shot. Honestly, even if they were prone it’s not bad. Given the nature of the shooting, it appears that the shooter didn’t want collateral damage. There were a LOT of people there, and that pressure would make any shot harder.
Standing offhand at 200 yards on a non moving target would be a pretty good shot, especially with no warm up and nerves, but I’m assuming the shooter was prone or resting the rifle on something.
It’s just tons of people in here have been blasting that this is some sort of big distance for the shot, when it really isn’t. Most anyone could shoot accurately enough at that distance with a small bit of practice.
From the video on the roof he looks prone and using the edge of the roof as a “tripod”. I also believe he was going for a head shot but didn’t calculate bullet drop properly. This is all speculation taken out of my ass of course.
the official story says the shot was 200 yards from a building, but the videos (the ones being wiped right now) are showing the shot coming from inside the crowd.
Huh?? I’ve seen a lot of videos from the event already and none show anything like a shooter from the crowd. Post a link, otherwise this is total bullshit
EDIT:
Charlie Kirk shooter wore dark clothing, fired from a roof on campus some distance away, Utah authorities say

Yeah I’d say it was convenient if there wasn’t a major Trump scandal each week in the past ten years at least.

200 yards is a very novice distance with a rifle.

Please post a link, I want to see.
I’m not sure the dot world admins would like that.
Edit: well fuck me for being cautious.
I already saw the blood gushing from his neckhole video posted here so the admins don’t give a shit

The videos are being wiped?! What do you mean? You suggest there is an effort to destroy every single copy.
not every single copy, just the ones that show the shot coming from the crowd.
i literally cant find them anywhere now.
