The suspect is still at large - officials earlier said they found a high-powered rifle in woods near where Kirk was shot.

Also, “high powered rifle” essentially means “not a 22”.

    Was it the point though? Bc on Wednesday, hours before that hit job, the Senate called for a probe into the biggest fish they could possibly catch in the Epstein investigation including Peter Thiel, JP Morgan, and other banks

    It would require at least some Republicans to join the investigation, but doing so would definitely make a lot of powerful people very angry. Instead of anybody hearing anything about that investigation though, or who might be considering joining in, Charlie Kirk was suddenly assassinated. Now most Republicans seem to be calling for war on the left like their lives depend on it.

        Ah you’re right, how silly of me. There is nothing to see here. When you ignore all the things that don’t make any sense, a 22 yo lefty sharp shooter who snuck an old time rifle onto a roof and got in a single kill shot, then jumped from the roof and escaped on foot bc he was out for blood against a famous right wing podcaster, actually makes perfect sense. Please forgive me and ignore.

        Ce n’est pas une conspiration

          The images are unnecessary, we all know what’s happening with Epstein and we’re all capable of clicking links.

          What about this situation doesn’t make sense?

            I just said it all makes perfect sense. A kid who isn’t registered to a political party and didn’t vote in the last two elections suddenly became a radicalized leftist sharp shooter. And a relative confirmed they talked about how they both disliked Kirk once over a dinner. Story checks out.

            I mean most people literally didn’t know about that call for an investigation into Epstein, Thiel, and JP Morgan bc it was literally only made a few hours before Kirk was assassinated. Just can’t really see why it’s a bad thing for more people to know about that?

              I honestly can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic. From what I know, it makes perfect sense.
