If you pressed her to explain how Charlie 'incited violence' she would not be able to provide one example.

not one

He promoted a strong America, Strong family unit, faith and love. He was friends from people across every single spectrum. Since when is promoting faith, family and patriotism deemed hate.

She is doing the Devil's work.

They always accuse the other side of doing exactly what they're doing (as evidenced by the myriad of sickening comments the left has displayed the past 24 hours).

Preaching a positive message is 'hate', and celebrating murder is 'love' in her world.

Yes it did, the video is out there and it clearly ricochets.

Edit: ok I see the nipple now. But even in the screen shot posted above it looks like the bullet is traveling upwards. How else does that happen?

And wasn't there a post with a X link from one of his security guys earlier in the thread where he said there was some kind of armor?

I also think this definitely seems professional to me. And I'm sure more than one person was involved. So, at the very least I don't think it was just some lone radical left lunatic.

Anyway I didn't listen to a ton of Kirk but I'm very sorry to hear the news today…absolutely shocked

Maybe. Professional means paid. Period. Which goes against most of the tones here.

Experienced means exactly that. We have no way of knowing right now.

Educated I think is more likely. We are so used to lone wolf lunatics who act on impulse that we forget the other half of that coin. Someone who actually thinks through an attack. This is a borderline soft target on an open campus. These are not lock down events with security out to 500 yards with countersnipers. I would be shocked if there was anything past close in protection plans. So anyone who has a room temp IQ or better who has read or watched a little bit of survival/military tactics understands that having an escape plan (preferably more than one) is paramount and that preplanning is key. Which given the tour CK was on, easily done. Especially if you have more than one person helping. Honestly, I am of the opinion that you don't even need to be "smart". You just need to be methodical.

Either way, this is such a horrible attack that it beggars belief. Literally. I didn't believe it at first when someone told me. I didn't consume any of his media per se, but I know he was a harmless man who just engaged in logical and open ended debate. Gutted for this wife and kids.

You may be right, but I'll pose another aspect....

Shooter was waaaay better than average. Your average deer hunter, with pulse and nervousness on a deer, would have a tough time at 200 yds to put a bullet on a dime like that. This one was good.

So, the shot takes place. A shooter would have less than 15 seconds to pack up and pile out before being seen, and 30 seconds after that to be on way out of area. However, there was a "distraction" of an old guy being arrested who was quoted "I don't want to talk" while being cuffed? Attention grabber. More time for shooter, whether it was intended or not.

Potentially: Trained hitter, promised many $$ and an escape vehicle/driver, but that escape ride was his last with the SSS policy carried out by the "payers" team, and the rifle finds its way to the bottom of the Pacific.

Kirk was THE MOST influential person in the country to the youth to get them to think for themselves, which is the devil to the leftist groupthink NPC required for the advancement of their agenda. Other than Trump, and maybe Elon, Kirk was the highest priority target to the Left.

Edit to add:

This was done to eliminate Kirk for reasons stated above, but also to have universities, high schools, etc. rule out people like him speaking on their campuses because of "security concerns" (really to just cut off Kirks effectiveness should others step up), and to terrorize other Conservatives from gathering in mass to organize against the true haters of our Republic.







Too much credit is being given to the lunatic shooter IMO.

1. The shot wasn't 200 yards. Looks to be about 140 yards based on google earth measurements.
2. Odds are the shooter wasn't aiming for the neck and instead was either aiming for head or chest and the neck is where the bullet hit based on a host of different factors.
3. If you are going so far as to plan to assassinate somebody, especially in a public setting, I'm assuming you have enough upstairs to at least plan a rudimentary escape using what you know will be a huge amount of chaos and confusion as the crowd disperses as cover.

We really aren't talking about rocket science here. Average shot at best, not some sniper level shot that had to go through a loophole while accounting for the Coriolis effect or anything like that.

Assume crosshairs were on the chest, that's about a ~6" miss, which is about 3.5-4 MOA at 140 yards (give or take, not doing the actual math). About half of that can be chalked up to a miscalculation due to elevation drop from 50-ish feet above the target (bullet drops less as you have a downward angle due to gravity not having to work as hard - very few people account for this). The rest is the fact that the dude wasn't a hardened sniper professional black ops killer using a run of the mill gun with what appears to be a budget scope and likely budget ammo and you get enough error that the round meant for center of mass hit high in the neck.


Dont even try to spell this out.

There's some weird group that think this is a pro with a 22 and there's no reasoning with them

Haven't they reported it hit off the top of his chest plate and went through his neck?

I'm sure someone somewhere reported that. Doesn't make it true though.

Especially hard for a projectile to ricochet off of a plate that wasn't there.

Last night was rough. Saw a lot of so called friends turn into bloodthirsty monsters, lacking humanity. I was told that I'm a sad reminder Sherman didn't finish the job, and a bigot several times.

We have to realize there's a large contingent on the left that thinks political violence is okay. And they're only getting bolder.


I stayed off of social media last night. I knew better.


Yeah, I don't know what I was expecting. It was actually horrifying. Some friendships ended last night. And one family tie is on the rocks, as he continued to insist Kirk deserved it because of his rhetoric.

These people are sick, and so is the world. Just so profoundly sad.
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

I said the same thing on the wrong thread and it got deleted. A pro would not have shot Charlie in broad daylight in front of 3,000 witnesses.

He would have done it at 6:00 AM on a deserted street like Luigi Magioni did with the UNH CEO?

No, but nice try.

Even thought you can clearly see his chest and stomach through his shirt there are going to be idiots that keep claiming this. There were people a few pages ago debating what level body armor he had on.

I have come to the realization the politics board is not the place for me on TexAgs after all this.

The funny thing about 'his rhetoric'....every.single.thing he espoused, he backed up with facts.


That's the crux of the issue. They cannot handle the facts.

He was not wearing a GD vest! A 22 was not used. People in his detail were not sending hand signals to the shooter. Why is it weird that he carried the gun out with a towel? Should he have used a rifle case that would make it obvious what he was carrying?

People are trying way too hard to be a conspiracy sleuth.

There was NO vest! Have you ever seen ballistic gels being hit by a rifle bullet? It sends shock waves through. What you saw was the shock wave going through the chest after it hit his neck.

I know I shouldn't be surprised but the lack of self awareness of what her party is capable of and guilty of is staggering. The amount of bile spewed towards Trump and his supporters by her and her ilk is legion.

This has been posted multiple times, but you can clearly see in the picture below that he doesnt have a vest on...(you can see his chest/nipple).

And in the up-close video, I wish I hadn't seen, it was clearly a clean shot directly to his throat.

I only watched the close up a few times and have seen a couple of screen grabs of a lifted shirt. I can only assume people are seeing shirt movement from the bullet passing and also impacting and coming to a bizarre assumption.

I paused the close up video and you can clearly see a nice round red hole. From the camera angle, it would be impossible for the entry to appear that way from a ricochet.

It's nonsense.

And agree, my peers are not the ones coming to absolutely bizarre conclusions when there are actually legitimate questions still outstanding on this.

Unless he had on Batman body armor complete with false nipples the only armor he had on was a t-shirt.

depending on the weight / grain and type of the 30-06 ammo the assassin used, the bullet likely entered Charlie's neck between 1200 and 2000 ft-lbs before expanding and exiting out of the other side of his neck where the fountain of blood gushed out. What you think was a ricochet was the jolt of his body when it hit him with that much energy. there was no chest plate and no ricochet.

I did, multiple times.

Patently obvious that it hit his neck and exited back and left side. His body reaction is classic hydrostatic shock to the CNS system reaction.

Unless there is technology now that a vest is disguised as a cotton t-shirt, he wasn't wearing body armor.

I had at first thought the kids wearing headphones were being disrespectful and not paying attention. But with the new Apple update, it does realtime translation and it's so they can understand the grad assistant.

But seriously, immaturity is what you are seeing there. It may be tasteless but it's immaturity.

The adults acting that way, they are abhorrent.

For at least the third time in this thread.

I have watched Charlie Kirk almost every day for the last two years. NOT ONCE EVER did I see him in body armor.

As for shock waves. My unit tested body armor, on one test 5.56 on level III, no plate, on a hanger. The bullet smoked right through the vest, knocked the vest off the hanger, AND completely separated the outside cover of nylon over the capsulated Kevlar. You wouldn't believe it unless you saw it.

Are people seriously claiming this was a ricochet? The bullet obviously enters directly into the left side of his neck. The shirt moving is just due to the surrounding air displacement by the bullet. Moreover modern tactical vests are specifically designed to absorb the force of the bullet and NOT cause a ricochet. And there's no sign at all of his t shirt being damaged by a bullet.
