As a military analyst I saw the word LGBTQ and panicked. : slop

my theory is that this "Charlie" Kirk was no angel. he was one of these anti-government activists, an outside agitator stirring up trouble.

i think the person who summarily executed him probably saw this "Charlie" selling loose cigarettes, passing off counterfeit bills, and about to commit property crimes.

the shooter should be recognized as a hero.

Don't be silly. Charlie clearly died of a fentanyl overdose. The bullet just coincidentally hit when the OD happened and had nothing to do with his death.

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

In fact the shooter noticed the OD and was trying to help by letting the blood out, but alas was too late.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

He was a real bad egg

I have received confirmation, an IDF sniper on leave misidentified Kirk's baby face as a military aged toddler, and proceeded on instinct to open fire to neutralize a potential threat in the Gaza envelope.

Now begins my favorite part of the event, when everyone starts confabulating theories

My favorite theory: I don't give a shit who did it, they don't need kudos or anything, they need to get away scot-free

what if a few months go by, no one gets arrested and it fades from memory, and then another high-profile fash gets popped right in the neck again. exact same shot location. that would send one hell of a message

The T stands for Throat-shot

then popcorn sales would explode

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 8 points 2 months ago

At that point, I'd say that neck explosions are caused by a lack of vaccines. No bullets were involved.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

If they're a Republican or demonstrably fash or something, it's much better for the rest of us if they do get caught so that we don't get blamed for this shit quite as much.

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Personally, I think it was someone who really, really hated the guy standing next to Kirk, but was just a terrible shot.

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

A fantastic shot but the gravitational field of a large dense object affected the bullet trajectory

This is Mormon country we're talking about here; it's OK to swing for the fences. I'm betting on Wario.

[–] whogivesashit@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah and honestly from the impact I saw and supposedly form the amount of blood coming out (intentionally avoiding the closeup), I feel like it might have been a larger caliber. Who knows 🤷

[–] Biggay@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

any major rifle round to the neck would or could have done the damage necessary to kill charlie hitting him where it did. Whatever hit him probably exploded into his spine/head and pretty much killed him instantly, 5.56 is relatively well known for doing that.

Well as we know you only shoot people in buildings that are important to you. For instance, Lee Harvey Oswald was a huge book depository fan.

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

He did like it enough to get a job there, and when he was spying for the US in the Soviet Union the Soviets didn't get him a job in a book depository, which made him leave the USSR and return to the US.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

John Wilkes Booth was a theater kid.

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

Wouldn't you choose a shooting location based on practical issues like access, ease of escape, and lines of sight, rather than shooting from a place you hang out at? Not that I'm an expert on shooting giant heads, like this military analyst here

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not even close lol

As if an LGBTQ office in a majority Mormon university takes up anything more than a small room in that building. Talk about reaching...

[–] NinaPasadena@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

I'm honestly shocked they had one at all

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

M4? lmao. Every AR is just an M4 clone without the automatic fire mechanism. There is no way of knowing this from just the shot. And there is basically no way to guess the ammo, there are many popular cartridges that could do that.

Plus they got the location completely wrong.

[–] micnd90@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

the shooter was in the WOKE GAY COMUNIST building frothingfash

[–] SovietBeerTruckOperator@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm sorry but if the gay Satanist Kabal was trying to kill Kirk, wouldn't having the sniper be right in the campus LGBT outreach office be a really fucking bad idea?

Conspiracy theorists seem to think the secret order of people controlling everything is really blatant and unsubtle.

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

Chuds have terrible literacy, therefore all media catering to them beats them over the head about everything, and they’ve come to expect that from all facets of life

[–] VHS@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Figuring the distance should be the easy part with audio, not a lot of room for speculation. At 180 meters the report from an AR-15 or similar arrives about 0.33 seconds after the bullet.

[–] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

That’s not even the correct location of where he was shot

[–] Bronstein_Tardigrade@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 months ago

He did not include the "illegal immigrant" sighted standing at the grassy knoll in his analysis.

Slop.
