I’m not surprised. I also won’t be surprised if they don’t catch this shooter. The rhetoric Charlie Kirk was pushing on the Epstein files was probably angering some very….influential people.

I agree I don’t think they’re going to find the shooter. Because it seems that it was a professional hit and now my mind is leaning towards thinking that somehow the right wing mob was involved to take the focus off of the Epstein files. It sounds crazy but DT orchestrates unlawful and violent mobs. If that was the intent, It certainly did the trick. Now we have possible war abroad while seemingly a war amongst ourselves. Stay safe…

Addendum: Glad they found the white, right wing radicalized shooter! You know DT et al will do flip flops to continue their war on democracy, Democrats and anyone who dares to criticize or disagree with the “ALL MIGHTY SAVIOR” (insanity), DT.

Inclined to agree here: creates more Epstein distraction, gets one dimensional MAGA base flared up and remotivated against the left, these people have no qualms about taking out "one of their own" to further Cankles' objectives.

Yeah, Suzanne and I haven't forgotten that a man died at Trumps "assassination attempt." Trump just doesn't care as long as he gets away with it. He cares about No one but himself and I wish his followers would clue in to that fact. He stirs them up and would use them as cannon fodder to distract, to spew hate and division, to keep us and them from seeing how much he is failing. He is no leader we can look to for steadiness, comfort, or sense. Truly a horrible man. I wish his followers could see his selfish and uncaring agenda. He offers them nothing but hate. Not anything to build ones life on. I feel sad for everyone.

I was so appalled that a man was killed at what I now think was a fake attempt. I did not hear about it until a couple of months later.

years ago there was a webpage (maybe it's still around) with a huge list of deaths associated with JFK's assassination. So many people.

A right wing MAGA killed Kirk. See what they do with that. I am sure Trump arranged it.

Further, with Bill Barr’s dad involved, you know Trump was right in the middle of all that went on with Jeffrey Epstein.

I believe Trump killed Epstein in prison. He was president, so it was the logical time for him to do it. He probably had Kash Patel do it, or how did an inexperienced goon get to be head of the FBI?

Julie's avatar

A sharp shooter said a professional shooter would never aim for the neck as its too tiny of a target. He should have been aiming for the center of his head or his chest. And if he was a pro he should only have been 4 inches off his target at that distance. He said unless it hit the chest and ricochetted upward toward the neck, this guy was “self trained”.

Daniel's avatar

Hitting the person might be easy. Hitting the carotid artery? No, that is not easy for ANYONE. It is less than 7mm in diameter. There is nobody that can consistently hit a 7mm area at 190-200 meters. A more likely idea is that the shooter aimed for the head and the shot went low. The head would is a MUCH larger target and genuinely even more deadly to hit than the carotid.

I don’t see many people actively opposing and stopping any of it… very few celebs are speaking out against it, very few of the wealthy, almost no one in power is advocating to slow down this administration.

That should worry every American, because a democracy where voices are silenced by threats and violence isn’t a democracy at all……your words say it all….we are not a democracy any more ,and can no longer count on our president to protect us. He wants nothing more than his rag tag army of Jan 6 criminals , the Proud Boys, etc. To go out on a violent rage everywhere in Blue States and harm or kill. He’s lovin’ this moment!

I think it’s the complex-minded & highly educated ‘people’ who are demonstrating evil & war over voters who put the WRONG Orange man in power. Or, perhaps he commandeered $$Musk $$ & took revenge on his perception of election-stealing. All to write damaging executive orders & rename the department of defense- the department of WAR.

Somewhere before the news of the shooting, I read an article that spoke about the hatred and name calling in political speeches is bringing violence. They did mention one man's name as the worse at violent hate speech. But I know we have been heading this direction for awhile.

Its long past time to bring back decency to politics.

Hate speech is so vulgar.

Aw man that sucks. People that have been itching to cause violence en mass have been waiting for a protest to turn non-non-violent, been disappointed at every peaceful large protest. They didn’t get up in arms about Democratic leaders being assassinated but now they are using Charlie Kirk’s as their excuse to arm up and attack lives. I’m so sorry for the state that the US is in. I’m so sorry to say that I think the worst is far ahead of us. Please keep strong, keep safe, kiss your twins and keep raising them to love in these trying times.
