Finding it very difficult tonight keeping up with the Jonesez.

No exit wound indicates it was deflected shot from a body armor hit, bullet deformed, tremendous loss of velocity.
When the bullet was still in him, under his skin, wasn't his bones that stopped it. And any doctor saying that is pretty damn sketchy or has't seen any gunshot wounds.
They (Erika and TPUSA) already said he declined wearing bullet proof vests and talking behind bullet proof glass despite increased number of death threats.
Stop. Deflected shot didn't happen.
But you actually believe bone, spine or skull can stop that round? Without deflection? In the neck?
99.99% of the time, that's a through and through shot.

Not 99.99%. More often than not? Yes. But given the wide range of .30-06 ammo and the tough nature of mammal necks, it's not even 90%.
I've had whitetails catch a 7mm 160 grain Partition started at 3000 fps. That's a DEEP penetrating bullet. I've had them keep some bullets from a surprising combination of chambers and bullet designs.
If I shot 10 small deer in the neck from a similarly elevated position from 135 yards with a .30-06 and any variety of cheap Walmart ammo like a Winchester Silvertip or Rem Core-Lokt I wouldn't be surprised with a 60% exit rate and a 40% catch rate.
Cervical bones are hard and the neck muscles are dense and sinewy.
Would I expect it to exit, yeah, probably. But it wouldn't surprise me at all to see it not exit.
Bullets do weird things.

Immediate. Thank God, that would be a huge amount of suffering.

I'm just glad it was immediate and he didn't have the fear. One second he was talking and the next second he was wherever he went. Of course I hope (and want to believe) he went to heaven. I guess it doesn't matter if the lights just go out.
Short of the opportunity to say goodbye, it was about the best way we can go out. Soldiers go out that way but they know it's a possibility. He probably never thought it was a threat.
All in all it was better than most modern deaths where it's a drawn out affair of "fighting".
I hope he's watching and sees the impact he made. It's about the only solace I can find in this senseless event.
Side note: the leftists are terrified. They realize what's going on and they are scared.

There is.

That sort of doubt is ripe for more faith and less fear.
People should always strive for a moral, righteous existence on Earth regardless of the hereafter.
But the more faith and less fear you have about what awaits at death is washed aside by your faith and love of Jesus (if you are a Christian). Kirk was a great example of absolute faith, no fear.

That's rather striking, and that doesn't look like a pose. He is shooken up about it. Van Jones, something like Bill Maher, has always somewhat disappointed in that so obviously not a dunce, and able to think about things, yet so hard to break out of their alignment with the the DNC agitation message enough to denounce the party leadership bomb throwing and stop just long enough to recognize Trump is a reaction and this is not a chicken and egg mystery how cycle started and very much predates 45th term, let alone 47th which is reaction to even more Left excess.
Hell, Van Jones can think Marxism holds some answers, that's his right if he can make his case. What resent is how the Left doesn't let Marxism's opposite make their counter case. That's not debate. Sounds like Charlie Kirk was prepared to just dialogue with him.
That's the ideal that has been so brutally obliterated and continues to be.

For all the "where's the autopsy report" crowd pay attention unlike other states, Utah doesn't have county coroners. Instead, a state Office of the Medical Examiner performs required autopsies and issues those reports.
But autopsy reports are not public documents under Utah state law and may not be released to the public: They can only be released to the following: next-of-kin, law enforcement, a legal representative and a physician who attended the deceased person. So until Erika Kirk says make it public you're SOL

This is what makes that article so laughable. The MSM would have been all over the "right wing violence" as it happened, yet, I don't see it in the news. Where is all of this violence their study reported?
Southern Poverty Law Center put TPUSA on their “hate map” just months before Charlie was assassinated by a Leftist

They must be criminally investigated
Were they working with the same groups that the shooter was involved with? https://t.co/U3Q1PGATtC

Is there a breakdown or list of what the left is using / *******izing from Charlie's work to come up with racism? I get the rights of women. I absolutely do NOT agree with it, but if you speak against killing babies then you support raping of women and children, handmaid's tales and such.
But why racism, and why specific to B(b)lacks?
