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.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was someone just more right wing than him who took issue with “softer” stances, like not murdering trans people in the streets and only criminalising them.
Multiple government leaders found out they’d been fired via Twitter in the first round of this administration. TACO is a coward and really doesn’t give a fuck about people so he just does whatever is easiest, including destroying careers/lives by randomly shitting things out on the Web.
Why the fuck is Donald Trump the one announcing his death?
Does that stink of this being a false flag and Kirk was chosen as an expendable to anyone else??
I am not at all convinced the shooter was a leftist or liberal.

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.

Ain’t no solidarity like fascist solidarity.

Or the Whitehouse kept an open line with the hospital and Trump lacks the decency to let the family make the announcement on their own terms.
Toilet Paper US tells Trumpie that Charlie Kirk is dead. Trumpie can’t resist telling everyone. Family finds out through a Truth Social post.
Just imagine if this ends up turning Turning Point away from Trump.

Absolutely zero chance it’s a false flag. Turning Point USA is a huge boon to the Trump admin.
IMO we just need to wait and see. I see no evidence that the shooter was a leftist or liberal… because I’ve seen no evidence about the perp at all.
The golden rule of fascism: always first accuse others of the conspiracies you’re going to engage in.
I’m betting the shooter is a pizza gater and got upset Charlie stopped talking about the Epstein files or something like that
