Charlie Kirk shot minutes ago

[mei]

I am very sorry for the lost and to the family, my prayers are with them.

The devils work so hard to stop His truth.

So they probably hit him with a long range rifle with scope vs a hand gun. Ballistics will give them much more evidence pertaining to distance etc. and being hit in the throat . suggests the shooter was aiming at the head but the bullet dropped ( speculation on my part). And they haven’t caught the shooter yet.

Yeah, that had to be how it happened. Apparently the guy was on a roof. Maybe he was copying the guy who tried to kill Trump. I'm betting the guy was trained in riflery. They are saying it was a 100 yard shot, so that's nothing for a trained sniper, but for the guy with average training it is probably difficult. I'm sure I couldn't make it.

I just keep wondering why … I don’t see him (Charlie) as a major threat to anyone. But we aren’t living in a Christian world (yet)! It’s spiritual warfare. Perhaps the angles can be dispatched to clean up this evil that walks the world like a roaring lion.

The only "why" I can think of is that the shooter didn't believe in the freedom of speech.

Assa

… and it could be more nefarious than that Brother. Possibly a professional hit man who knows how to hit his target then disappear, or possibly a Deep State trained assassin who knows how to disappear … the world is an evil place. Politicians & world leaders have been fodder for assassins forever(Julius Caesar, Lincoln, Garfield, the Kennedy brothers, MLK, Popes etc.)

All that could be true, I'm sure. What still puzzles me is where the bullet hit, which right now they are saying was the neck, so his carotid bled out. If the guy was a trained sniper it would have been a head shot at that short distance--in fact it would have been from farther away. Still could have been a deep state trained assassin, but one without sniper training.

This is what one liberal on FB said about Charlie: "Given his history it was sadly predictable."

I have to disagree with the trained shooter view. A trained shooter would know to aim for the mass, the chest. The fact that Charlie was hit in the neck shows that the person was not a good shooter.

If you watch the video you see the Charlie was leaning back and forth so to aim for the neck or head would not be the choice of a professional.

Plus as someone that has hunted for over 60 years I can tell you that an average shooter using a rest can put 3 rounds in a three inch circle at 200 yards. So knowing that I would say the shooter was just lucky to even hit Charlie let alone hit him in the neck.

If it was the kinda vest I’m familiar with it wouldn’t they aren’t designed to ricochet.

Agreed

If it hit his caritoid then death is almost instant…and painless if that is any consolation.

I don’t know why anyone would commit murder.. how does someone assuage their conscience , well that’s providing they have one. A psychopath doesn’t however.

I'm thinking the assassin felt that guilt, since he discarded his rifle in the woods. But then again he had scratched his manifesto on the shells, so maybe that was planned. Bizarre, either way you look at it.

Anyone else ever shot a 30 ought 6? A college roommate wanted to buy one, so we took it plinking. Man did it have a kick. We shot 3 shells apiece: standing, kneeling, then prone. He decided against the purchase.

That was my rifle of choice. I had several but that was the one I used most often. Would not call it a plinking rifle.
Here in Alberta you want something with good stopping power as we have grizzly bears to contend with.

He was a young radical that went to far and now will pay the price.
