I saw a much closer video of the moment he was shot. It appears the bullet ricocheted off a vest he was wearing under his shirt up into his throat. If that was the case *anyone* could have made that shot. Has anyone seen it?

That is what John Solomon, "Just the News" reported last night.

Stupid Liawatha, how about you start with liberals who have been calling for, nay demanding the death of republican Presidents especially since Nixon, and actually making attempts since Ford on every Republican president, all in America except for a failed attempt on GWB in Georgia(the country) though there were books and movies fantasizing about Bushes assassination. I can’t think of one time a conservative advocated for the death f someone on the left, let alone attempt an assassination while the left does it constantly. Also the bitch has to be aware that the only people killed on Jan6 were protester murdered by security and capitol police.

[Polly Ticks]

This was not an assassination. This was a public execution intended to deliver a message.

Yes, this.

My husband and I were talking yesterday afternoon shortly after it happened about how it was disturbing that the headlines continued to be "Charlie Kirk was shot" when it was obviously an assassination. But you're absolutely right.  Assassination isn't the right word, either.   It WAS an execution ... and an act of terrorism.

FBI under pressure over open airport five miles from Charlie Kirk assassination hit as private jet 'vanishes' after shooting

By JOE HUTCHISON, US NEWS REPORTER

Published: 08:47 EDT, 11 September 2025 | Updated: 09:25 EDT, 11 September 2025
The FBI is facing questions over an airport that was left open after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, with speculation brewing over a jet that could be linked to his murder.

Kirk, 31, was gunned down on Wednesday while speaking at a university event in Orem, Utah.

Despite a large-scale manhunt being launched for his killer, who has still yet to be found, authorities failed to close off the airspace surrounding Provo Airport.

In an update by authorities on Thursday morning, they said a high-powered bolt action rifle was recovered from a wooded area nearby after the shooter jumped from the roof and fled the scene. 

The regional airport deals with domestic flights and is just a ten-minute drive from Utah Valley University where Kirk was speaking.

Speculation on social media has pointed to a private jet that left the airport shortly after the single shot that killed the conservative activist rang out.

Flight tracking data shows the jet left the airport shortly after 2pm and headed south towards the Arizona border before it disappeared from radars.

It then reappeared on radars and returned to Provo roughly one hour after leaving the airport.

The jet in question has a registered owner in the Utah city of Lehi, according to FAA data seen by the Daily Mail.

Another claim gaining traction online suggests that a second person may have been involved in the attack


The poster zoomed in on what they claimed could be a person camouflaged as a plant at the top floor of the building

Another claim gaining traction online suggests that a second person may have been involved in the attack.

A social media user shared footage of the top floor of a building overlooking the tent where Kirk was speaking, insisting that a figure was concealed among the greenery.

The post on X says: 'Does this bush look suspicious to anyone? It lines up directly to where Charlie Kirk’s tent was and where he was shot.

'I was very hesitant to post this until I got other opinions on the matter. I spent hours going through photos and videos until I saw this.'

The poster zoomed in on what they claimed could be a person camouflaged as a plant.

The grainy photograph shows what appears to be a dark shape partially obscured by bushes or potted plants on a balcony, and some users argued this was evidence of something sinister.

Charlie Kirk assassin picked spot that could allow for escape ‘miles and miles away’ in just minutes: retired FBI agent
By Patrick Reilly   
Published Sep. 11, 2025, 7:38 a.m. ET



Charlie Kirk’s assassin appears to have picked a rooftop from which they could make a quick escape and be “miles and miles away” in mere minutes, according to a retired FBI expert.

The sniper — who remains at large early Thursday — fired the single, fatal shot from the top of the Losee Center Building at Utah Valley University, some 200 yards from where Kirk was seated in a pop-up tent, speaking in front of 3,000 people, authorities have said.

“If you come off that roof — and I’ve seen the drone footage of this — there’s an open-air parking lot behind that building,” retired FBI supervising agent James Gagliano told “Fox & Friends.”

why would a 'professional' use a mauser in the first place, then vacate a building brandishing it?

Does not appear reasonable.

Suggests non-professional or a false lead.

It'd be pretty simple to calculate if he had time to walk there before the plane took off.

Then again if he got a ride - well that's another whole can of worms.

And obviously you don't buy private jets as the local Walmart, so if he did hop that plane, then this is bigger than a lone gunman.

I agree. A professional hit man might do something like this in order to create more chaos and lead investigators down empty corridors. But then, so might a nutcake. So who knows?

We also must consider the possibility of a state actor (Iran?) doing this. Iran has every motive here: retribution for the attack on their nuclear facilities, and to sow the seeds of civil war in the USA.

I thought I understood that the ADSB transponders are all recorded for file.  If a plane did leave at or after the shooting, you'd think this would help the investigators.

Ammunition in Kirk Assassination Engraved With 'Transgender and Antifascist Ideology': Report
Jeff Charles
4–5 minutes

Conservative podcaster Steven Crowder provided some new information on the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

In a Thursday post on X, Crowder said his team received an email from an officer with the Bureau for Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) with a screenshot appearing to show an “internal message describing a weapon and cartridges located by an ATF and other law enforcement near the scene of the Charlie Kirk shooting at Utah Valley State University.”

“The suspect fired one shot from an elevated position on a rooftop in an adjacent building on the campus, and surveillance video shows the suspect jumping off and fleeing the area on foot,” the email read, according to Crowder.

Law enforcement discovered “an older model imported Mauser .30-06 caliber bolt-action rifle wrapped in a towel in a wooded area near the campus,” the email noted, “The location of the firearm appears to match the suspect's route of travel.”

Each of the cartridges had “engraved wording on them, expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology.” Following this Crowder report and the FBI press conference, the Wall Street Journal confirmed the reporting.

Lara gets it. It was either hubris, 'we did it and whatcha gonna do about it?', or it was a chilling message of more to come via one of their cells, or it was a diversion.

And if the PA shooter had the same thing, yes it could be a copycat move, but also signals coordination.

I hope it's an Occam's Razor answer, but Occam's Razor is for random events, not will, intent, coordination and organization.

[the OlLine Rebel]

You're missing the point. For you and I and everyone familiar with guns then yes, it's a very doable shot.

But this guy's on the Left, and they don't like guns, so as someone practiced and familiar not only with guns, but staging and executing an assassination from a rooftop, he is a rare bird.

It implies a great deal more sophistication as well as coordination. And as @Lando Lincoln says, don't rule out that the gun is a plant. This may not be some old ratty ensemble of soy boy leftists.

And it could well mean to be an evolution and escalation of their tactics, not just the old black block breaking storefront glass windows. Everyone needs to be acutely aware of what they are cooking behind the scenes, because this might be part of a larger organized push.

Don’t be fooled.  Communists are very violent.  They talk big about peace but are constantly rioting at the least non-sequitur slight.  While most of them will squeal about hating guns, they always resort to violence and if that means firearms or getting crafty with edged weapons, they’ll do it for their communist cause.

It won’t be most of the fools, but enough will pick it up or already know, believe it or not.

I too.  I was thinking how many CK clips I’ve seen just the last few days of him arguing about transexual issues.

And the recent problems with the Catholic school, and last year with the other school shooter.

Seems to be a trend.

Maybe investigators will look over all those clips of him debating visitors fully supporting absurd trannie stuff.

I agree, but they tend to be emotional, impulsive, and amateur hour even if they do pick up a gun. They are the useful idiots and human shields.

This took someone or someones a few notches above that.

But no, mostly these damn fora allow any communist statement of any kind, on any kind of forum even totally off topic, while I get banned for defending truckers circling the beltway from the dozens who posted curses on them and actually recounted giving the finger to them and brake-checking.

What a country we live in now, controlled by communists since the bastard hippies took to endless protests and riots 50 years ago.  They always get their way.

@Smokin Joe

History has terrifying examples of what you and @Luis Gonzalez are on to here. I believe it. Charlie’s “movement”, though impressive, was expanding - perhaps rapidly. He was a threat. A threat that was eliminated through a linkage of dark power, operatives and useful idiots.

So, now… what’s next?

Charlie put the danger of Sociocommunism itself in jeopardy by speaking directly to the left’s vision for the future.

He stepped into the greenhouses of so-called “progressive” indoctrination, exposing and dismantling their designs for shaping America’s youth.

With joy in his heart, he walked into the Lion’s Den armed only with truth and Christian love—and he prevailed.

They killed him for that.

[GtHawk]

Wouldn't the perp be, at this moment, held deep in the bowels of the police facility since his arrest? He'd have to be processed and questioned (and probably invoke his Miranda rights) before they could get around to making a public statement about him. It certainly doesn't happen instantaneously.

My personal opinion is that he should be shot while escaping, right after every video recording device including those worn by the officers malfunctions at the same time…….so sad.

[Free Vulcan]

These damn disgusting beasts need to be called out and THEM banished.

My attitude now is if they want to stick their head up and say something to support assassinating someone who stood up and said something, then the rules apply both ways.

Oh we may not do it, or we may, you never know, we probably won't, but then we might. One thing is for sure, they should never sleep without fear ever again.

[mountaineer]

I will bet money that this fool Omar - who identified as nonbinary, by the way, and predicted that something would happen at the Kirk event - was a co-conspirator in some way. He may have been the one asking Charlie the questions about transgendered shooters, or he plotted with the shooter, or even was a shooter. I hope the FBI are looking into him.
