This was the work of a deranged unhinged leftist lunatic, nothing more.
The shot wasn't some super awesome Delta Force sniper shot. It was a 140 yard shot with a bolt action .30-06 from a fixed position at a relatively static target. Kirk wasn't wearing a vest, and odds are the shooter was aiming at his chest and missed high due to not taking into account the elevation delta, cheap scope, run of the mill gun that was probably only marginally sighted in and a shooter that wasn't some trained hardened killer.
The fact that it hit Charlie in the neck was nothing more than a combination of a bunch of factors that were highly unfortunate for Mr. Kirk.
What about everything outside of the shot? Most ordinary deranged leftists could not have pulled that off imo. If not professional, this kid if pretty good. To get in and out and scale building up and down, undetected, and get away scot free....to me that is pretty impressive.
I doubt it was all that hard to gain access to the roof of a building like that, and anybody that has the brain cells to plan something out up to the point of the shot also likely is smart enough to plan an egress route.
This isn't rocket science, it really isn't. It isn't like this is some Mission Impossible **** where he had to scale walls and avoid lasers and all kinds of other stuff. He walked upstairs and through a door to the roof then crawled to the edge, took a shot, then used the crowd dispersing as good enough cover to get away from the area. Even dumb criminals do things like this.
And if he hasn't offed himself yet, he's not scott free for too much longer. He left way too much evidence behind. My guess is we find out he's either dead or captured within a few days.
