Right? Most of the left don't even know who this dude is. It could be a business partner for all we know.
Interesting point made in live updating CNN Manhunt article:
So, dude takes his position, fires a single shot for the kill, and then disappears without a trace. Pretty impressive.
Could be a paid for dude, which seems most likely judging by the description. Not many snipers in the general populace, I'm guessing. Ex-military maybe?
I've seen this one before on Red Dwarf. He shot himself.
I've dropped deer that far out and I am no sniper. I'd wager that most hunters could make that shot.
Do they know how far away they were? What rooftop they were on? I'm hoping they get away with it, but I'm not sure it would even have to be monetarily motivated. Maybe one of their friends or family members were killed as a result of his bullshit? There's plenty of reasons to kill a shitstain like Kirk. Plenty of people, especially on this website, would've done the same if they had the ability.
CBS news at dinnertime didn't have details on where but from witness accounts it was at least 100yds, 'cause people said the shot wasn't that loud. That shit stays loud for 100ft easy. I'm sure law enforcement knows what rifle fired the round by now and it wouldn't surprise me if they are shitting their pants because it's some weird fucker like 6.5 creedmoor
edit: I guess if someone pulled an Oswald and was inside the Book Depository that would muffle the sound heard by people near the victim. However, Utah is pretty fucking big without many tall buildings.
Could've also had a suppressor. They don't eliminate all the sound like the movies, but make a huge difference with rifles.
I'm bored. What do you think happened?
I think long-range hunting rifle with a scope. .270 maybe?
I have no clue other than the witness reports. And the one close up video. But seeing that shockwave hit his shirt, tells me it was something very very fast.
I don't want to watch it again, but it did seem real real fast huh? Lots of energy in the shot, not like an infantry weapon. Way more hunting rifle than AR .223.
It was just instant.
e: a fuckit, sleep
edit again the next morning: The cops think they have the weapon and the news called it "a high powered rifle" so yeah, probably just an AR
ope: it was a rifle rifle. They are reporting Mauser in .30 caliber so... M98 in .308? Something like that anyway. Mauser also makes a very nice line of modern hunting rifles and you can get those in 30-06
That's true.
People on Lemmy are more likely to know but yes, I tried explaining to my dad how much of a shitstain this guy was. His take away from TV News was that this guy was somehow not MAGA and therefore it's sad. Like, no, he very much is MAGA, lol
The ABC national evening show was gargling his balls like he was going to come back and kiss them afterward. It was sickening.
He's one of the most meme'd on conservatives of the last decade in leftist spaces. Who doesn't know his forehead?
And his gums.
Don't know who Charlie Kirk is? He runs so many ads on youtube with tpusa, that I'm surprised that there's people that don't know he exists atp.
I use ublock to watch youtube.
Me too, and in the last day or so, ads have started playing now and again. Usually only one ad, with a skip button that appears after a bit. I wonder if something has changed?
Restart your computer and browser, that usually works for me.
That worked, thanks.
Fair enough. A lot of people don't.
A lot of people don't know what adblock is.
Plus the guy's been memed to oblivion. I have a lot of Tinyface Charlie memes in my phone.
I may have seen the tiny face meme but never heard the name. But I also don't frequent political areas.
