Still investigating cause of death, but it appears to be some sort of puncture wound in the neck region

No fucking shit he was targeted. That is how you aim a gun.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 28 points 6 days ago

Nah, stray bullet bro.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 55 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Do you mean to say it wasn't a random bullet?

I never would have reached that conclusion on my own, thank you FBI, you are truly the world's greatest detectives. Thinking outside the box!

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago (3 children)

His neck actually just did that by itself

I think it was an accident. He dropped the rifle and it accidentally shot Kirk

I don't think he was shot, I think his neck just did that

A truck backfired at the same time.

"Grunthos was reported to have been "disappointed" by the poem's reception, and was about to embark on a reading of his 12-book epic entitled "My Favourite Bathtime Gurgles" when his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save humanity, leapt straight up through his neck and throttled his brain.

Now Trump is going to send the army to guard the streets of buttfuck nowhere Utah from all this violence, right? Right?

[–] slate@sh.itjust.works 14 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Oh don't worry, they'll institute police checkpoints everywhere across the country for "safety" and "national security". Worked great for Ireland!

I'm no expert, but if you hit someone, it means you targeted them.

It is amazing that Trump sacrifices his personal Joseph Göbbels just to distract from the Epstein files.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 29 points 6 days ago (18 children)

FAR too many "coincidences" for this to not have been an inside job.

The weird pre-prepared AI video of Trump announcing his death

The plane randomly arriving and likely picking the shooter up

The shooter being clearly an expert marksman

The right all coordinating to declare a civil war within seconds of it happening

The FBI conveniently not being able to find the guy

Not 1 but 2 plants in the crowd to distract authorities

Etc etc etc.

Release the Epstein files you orange pedophile piece of shit.

Why is no one questioning God's involvement?

[–] kerrigan778@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 6 days ago

Wild, I was pretty sure his neck just did that.

[–] EightBitBlood@lemmy.world 29 points 6 days ago (7 children)

The blood shooting from Mr. Kirks neck alone was not good enough evidence to determine if the shooter hit what he was targeting. Great work FBI. At this rate, you'll soon be able to confirm the shooter used a gun.

There may have been a weapon "aimed" or "targeted" at the victim for the shooting to occur. The FBI is 60% certain that a random bullet did not magically manifest and hit the racist conservative idiot in the neck.

[–] icelimit@lemmy.ml 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Pretty sure the puncture wound was from a random meteorite falling from the sky.

What was the theory before? Crime of passion, gun and run?

Like he just had a "say what again" moment to that bullshit Kirk was saying on stage?

What if the gunman was Kirk's estranged gay lover? That's my theory

My theory is that trump literally sacrificed him for several reasons.

  1. Shore up the base who was being lost due to Epstein/bankruptcy by giving a clear enemy (the left, who definitely did this, because they are mean)
  2. Cause a massive distraction to the Epstein files
  3. Give ample cover to crack down on political enemies with ease
  4. Get rid of Charlie Kirk. I mean what a d-bag. No one liked him.

Of course he was targeted. The man dedicated his entire career to spreading misinformation and hatred. He reaped what he sowed.

[–] hornedfiend@sopuli.xyz 13 points 6 days ago

Current FBI is like 5th graders playing FBi. It’s hilarious how bad it is.

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 19 points 6 days ago (2 children)

The "nearby woods" have been secured, lol. Yeah, you do that. Watch out for the deer and bears and shit.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Well, they had to say they've done something.

In a month or two theyll pin it on someone, mangione style. Just to keep COG; the perception that there os punishment is more important than actually solving the mystery. I'd guess someone less pretty and less sympathetic this time. Maaaaaybe someone queer.

Actually, anisotropic conductive film is used to keep chip on glass and provide the electrical connection, plus it may be covered in resin or epoxy.

So Trump's gonna send NG troops to Utah right? The crime in these red states is really out of control.

Can we stark calling the shooter Mario? I wish he had a better escape plan like a janitor outfit and beard

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Gosh you mean someone executed a perfectly aimed shot into his carotid and picked him off like a clay pigeon in a shooting gallery, escaped a security patrolled event without being identified, and you think that might not be just some rando? Wow FBI that's some stellar detective work!

Send up the Bat signal! The pod cast bros running the FBI don't have a fucking CLUE.

So, my aunt was there and said she was in charge of securing the trees. Said the trees in front of the student union only took 3 hours to secure.

EPSTEIN FILES. NOW.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Generally when someone is shot, they are indeed targeted. I know the concept of aiming is somewhat anathema to you Americans, but it is often much more effective than your usual approach to firearms.
