Charlie Kirk Shot and Killed

[DShortt]

I refuse to engage in the same thinking that resulted in the shooting in the first place.

I never said what we are being feed is true, I am saying no one here has any proof that it isn't, yet are saying so anyway.

I'm going to get political here in this thread. Several things that I'm thankful for......1 Biden is not President, 2 Christopher Wray is not the head of the FBI. Armchair Quarterbacks, let this thing play out. While you're at it honor Charlie Kirk for his diligence in what he was accomplishing and with hopes of TPUSA continuing it's course.

Fair enough, but law enforcement’s top brass has been asking for the public to help them catch the shooter after they arrested two incorrect subjects in the critical hours -stretching to days, which became long enough for the perp to have driven anywhere in the western hemisphere.

They seemed to be saying they were literally slow rolling the pictures, hoping not to give more than they had to. I heard those words. This grainy imagery approach began to cast a net over several people that could be easily morphed into “that” look and were.

I’ll give another example, if the perp is clearly walking “up” the stairs, and the images you choose to reveal don’t imprint a scoped rifle hiding under that clothing, why not go ahead and say don’t worry about when this was, or why you can’t see a rifle here, - we have a video of him limping to conceal it.

Then they offer a reward. This case was cracked by the public watching what ppl and LE put online. The college had the best video, but no one knows that without talking and watching everything on who has the best lead. LE dang near waited too long.

In my opinion you rile up a lot of ppl by talking about inscriptions on bullet cases found before you actually have the subject. It foments a lot of resentment. And you don’t have the guy yet partly because the best images are held on to. He doesn’t even fit that mental image so many formed, but we sure heard it.

The FBI answered the phone to a call of the subject surrendering, because family turned him in. I don’t know why the FBI is talking about response time or fixed wing aircraft. This is not a victory lap situation. An aggravated murder wasn’t stopped when a dozen or more ppl are there to protect a guy who needs to wear a chest plate.

Oh, geeze. The father has $100k coming to him. How ironic. Even if he had a friend make the phone call. Might come handy for legal fees. But there may be some "Restrictions apply" invoked.

@ebb: Where does it say "150 yards?"

You know, the FBI posted an annotated aerial photo, marking the shooter's location and where the stage was. Five minutes on Google Earth will give anyone the exact distance to the foot. It was originall reported 200 yds, then 150, ... But "What difference, at this point, does it make?"

I *presume* the actual distance will eventually come out once the exact location of the shooter at the moment the shot was fired comes out.
So far as I know, that is not common knowledge and probably won't be for some time.
Again, this is the media stating things they haven't verified and can't comprehend even if they did know.
And of course, John Q Public is equally culpable in misinformation because they sieze upon tidbits of information rather than reading and comprehending everything in a news story.

Reminds me of grade school. The teacher gave some information to a student on one side of the room. By the time it made it through 20 or more students, it was NOTHING like the original.

That was literally an exercise in 2nd grade or so. Probably hasn't been commonly demonstrated in a few decades now.

You right!! I had originally read a post and reacted to that post... Should not have... This whole week has been a "train crash." mY apologies.. I'll go back a delete it.. I'm out

Don't delete it. It's as valid as the others here. We all are suffering through this mess, and maybe this thread is one of the ways to come to some kind of closure. So far the boss has let it fly. jd

If you've not heard Erika Kirk's words, you should.

This isn't an end. It's a beginning.

On the topic of drones, these departments should easily be able to justify some good hardware for events like this. This is the one I was planning on having my unit get before I got orders out of NoDak. Put it in an orbit on thermal watching rooftops and other areas of interest. It could have been a huge asset.

There's a 'sleeping giant' within the borders of the United States. I'd like to think that giant is opening it's eyes. And looking inside the borders this time.

It was GREAT. She is well spoken and motivated more than anyone to keep Charlie's memory alive and his work progressing without a hitch.
