FFS, you're still trying to egg on a fight three days later? Give it a rest.

A 30-06 is not going to ricochet off a vest.  A 30-06 is going to go clean through it.  If he got hit in the chest, there would be a sizeable hole in his shirt, and fabric would have ejected from it as the bullet pass through the vest into his chest.

I'm not buying off on any lone wolf bullshit.  The despicable left knew how powerful and influential CK was, and would be the next 40+ years. 

Another reason I hope Ben Shapiro takes additional precautions.  He is in the same category.  We've lost half of the brightest 2 conservative advocates.   This can't happen again,.

🚨 BREAKING: The FBI has NOT ruled out co-conspirators in the kiIIing of Charlie Kirk, FBI sources confirm to me

An FBI official told @bennyjohnson the bureau is actively digging through chat logs, dark web history, and affiliations of the suspect in custody.

“We are focused on the radicalization element. The truth will not be hidden, or buried or classified. The public will know,” per Benny’s source

Another FBI source independently verified to me Benny’s reporting here is accurate.

NO STONE should be left unturned. We must know exactly WHO radicalized this degenerate, and lock their asses up.

Just spoke with top FBI official who made it very clear that they have NOT ruled out co-conspirators in Charlie Kirk’s assassination:

“That assumption is premature. This investigation is just beginning. An enormous amount of evidence has been seized both digital and physical.”

FBI sources assure me the public will “know everything” about the dark internet history, chats and affiliations of Kirk’s left-wing political assassin.

The source then alluded to some online groups attempting to delete or destroy evidence.

“We have everything. We are focused on the radicalization element. The truth will not be hidden, or buried or classified. The public will know.”

As I said upthread, when it comes to any consequential political shooting, the left will always prefer a white male as the scapegoat.

It's ironic: to be a white male leftist is to never be fully accepted. One will always be considered too inherently privileged for any intersectional privilege in the movement. And this is perhaps my conjecture here, but perhaps this was a desperate bid for approval from his cohorts that would have likely never come. Indeed, the left is still riding with the groyper claims today and disowning him.

And speaking of those groyper claims...the one overarching trait of groypers is antisemitism. Much like horseshoe theory, that aspect of groyperism has way too much in common with the Free Palestine movement, which is also (ironically given that it's practically sharia in Palestine) largely driven by leftism.

This has nothing do to with "groypers".  Stop bringing up that false narrative.  We've seen enough lies.

Can't confirm, but, remember that older guy they took into custody shortly after the shooting? Crisis actor?



... The individual in question, George Hodgson Zinn, has been linked to media coverage or arrests in connection with several high-profile incidents over the years, which aligns with common conspiracy theory claims about “crisis actors”—people allegedly hired to participate in or witness staged events for narrative purposes. Here’s a breakdown:

•  9/11 Attacks (2001): Zinn appeared in a resurfaced video interview from September 11, 2001, where he stated he immediately knew Al Qaeda was responsible upon seeing the towers fall.  This places him as an on-scene witness in New York City during the terrorist attacks, despite being a Utah resident.

•  Salt Lake City Marathon Bomb Threat (2013): Shortly after the Boston Marathon bombing, Zinn was arrested and charged with making a terrorist threat via email to the Salt Lake City Marathon organizers, offering to “help place bombs” (which he later claimed was a joke). He pleaded guilty and received probation.    ...

He was every bit as influential as MLK, plus he was faithful to his wife. Better see some “Charlie Kirk Boulevards” in the near future.

Kirk's biggest influence is ahead of him.  King's influence ended at his assassination.

I hate them both.  Probably hate Georgia more.  But my dislike of the Vols has grown considerably since returning to the Heart of Dixie.   I'm hoping a Georgia win will make them over-confident two weeks from now.

Charlie Kirk spoke at Destiny Church in California in 2020 and again in 2022.  Here is a testimony:



Destiny Church Rocklin
6h
 ·
"Charlie Kirk brought me to Destiny Church..." Read this powerful testimony we just received from a woman who found Destiny because of Charlie Kirk... and it changed her entire family:

I was raised as an atheist. There was never anything negative said about Christianity it was just never spoken about. Jesus and God were never brought up by my single mother (whom I grew up with) or any of my extended family... ever.

I heard from a friend that Charlie Kirk was going to Destiny. I was excited about an opportunity to see Charlie. When the tickets became available, I tried to get online and get one the day they became available, but they were sold out. 

A couple of days later, a friend of mine, a devout Christian whom I had mentioned the Charlie Kirk event to, texted me. I knew she had managed to get two tickets to see Charlie Kirk, one for her and one for her husband.

She told me that God was putting it on her heart to bring me instead, and so the plan was set! I was excited to see Charlie, and a little nervous to go to such a big church to be honest, but more excited. When I first walked into Destiny it was a strange feeling. With all the craziness going on, it was the first time I felt hope. Everyone was smiling and welcoming when we walked through the doors and sat down.

Then Charlie did what Charlie did best. He talked about his faith and the current status of our country. He spoke with passion and charisma that made me sit straighter in my chair and listen intently. When I went home that night, I told my husband that I wanted to go again and that I wanted him to go with me.

I thought he might actually like the Pastor, who seemed intense in all the best ways, and how welcoming everyone was. We have all been going to Destiny ever since. God used Charlie Kirk, my new friend, and Destiny church to bring me to Him. The impact on my life, my dad's life, my husband's life, and my kids' lives has been intense and
generational. We've even got my sister in law to attend, and she has reformed her relationship with Jesus as well.

Sorry... That's all I can do too. It's how I process. I am always interested in the mechanics of a thing.

It’s an affliction that is hardwired in many, myself included. My thoughts…

The apparent murder weapon was a cheap, vintage weapon that was likely C&R eligible. It had been bubba’d at least once with a different barrel and stock. It had half-a$$ed optics poorly mounted. Once the murderous bastard got in position, my guess is his heart rate was 140 or so. Once he saw his target in the crosshairs, he pulled the trigger. He didn’t consider trigger pull, elevation differences, windage, bullet drop or anything.

And evil was done.

It’s an affliction that is hardwired in many, myself included. My thoughts…

The apparent murder weapon was a cheap, vintage weapon that was likely C&R eligible. It had been bubba’d at least once with a different barrel and stock. It had half-a$$ed optics poorly mounted. Once the murderous bastard got in position, my guess is his heart rate was 140 or so. Once he saw his target in the crosshairs, he pulled the trigger. He didn’t consider trigger pull, elevation differences, windage, bullet drop or anything.

And evil was done.

I thought he was way up at first.... Thought it was a hard drop down-shot... Like 8 floors or something. Gave him some credit for that, even though he really kinda missed.

Turns out it was maybe 3 floors... That's a pretty soft downhill. That ain't so hard. That's maybe 3 or 4 inches on 200 yds.

Wasn't a piss pour shot... He got it done... But if that was a deer or an elk or a bear, my friends would be giving me crap for that shot... Wondering if I had my eyes closed or something...  :laugh:

Can't speak to the rifle - I don't know Mauser near at all... Seems like the sort of thing that would be handed down from a Dad to a son... Maybe grampa's gun that had got an upgrade somewhere along the line...

But I do know .06 caliber. A little light for what we do around here, but a very formidable deer rifle caliber, even decent for elk if you want to get that close... It should be well within range at 150/200 yards. So it ain't the weapon's fault, unless it was loose in the bed or something. Don't know that scope. looks kinda 4x10 - ish... Which ain't nothing remarkable, but it ought to do the job, though it is mounted way too far back... Which speaks to inexperience and a cut above the eye (don't ask me how I know  :laugh:).

That's all I got.  :shrug:

I haven't heard or read anything about how this assassin got this weapon and how or where did he practice.  9999hair out0000
I was wondering whether it was one of his dad's hunting rifles, as opposed to something he bought just for this purpose.

 Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson lived with transgender partner: source
By Josh Christenson and
Georgia Worrell

WASHINGTON — Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson was living with a transgender partner who was in the process of transitioning from male to female, a law enforcement source confirmed to The Post Saturday.

That individual, who has yet to be publicly identified by the authorities, is now fully cooperating with the FBI on its investigation into the fatal shooting of the conservative activist, the source added. The relationship was first reported by Fox News’ Brooke Singman.

According to public records, Lance Twiggs, 22, resided at the same address where Robinson lived. A relative of Twiggs confirmed to The Post Saturday that “yes, they were roommates.”

Parents Gifted Charlie Kirk Assassin a 'Build-Your-Own Gun' Kit for Christmas
Sarah Arnold
~3 minutes

The parents of Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old who admitted to assassinating Charlie Kirk, once encouraged their son’s intense interest in firearms by gifting him a “build your own gun” kit for Christmas.

Robinson’s fascination with guns was well-documented by his family, who frequently posted photos of their visits to shooting ranges. Images show Robinson as a teenager proudly holding high-powered weapons, including an M2 Browning .50 caliber machine gun, a scoped rifle, and even a bazooka. His mother, Amber Robinson, and his younger siblings appeared to embrace this lifestyle, as evidenced by pictures showing smiling faces at the range, even holding military-grade firearms.

One Christmas in 2017, Robinson’s brother unboxed a “build it yourself” rifle kit given to the boys by their parents, while Tyler stood nearby, casually holding a new iPhone. That same year, Robinson appeared in a Halloween costume mocking President Donald Trump, complete with a toy hunting rifle strapped to his back.

On the night of the shooting, Robinson allegedly used a Mauser bolt-action rifle—a popular hunting firearm in America—to take a fatal shot from approximately 200 yards away, striking Kirk in the neck as he spoke to an audience at Utah Valley University.

According to law enforcement, Robinson confessed to the murder to his father, Matthew Robinson, a former police officer. The family pastor was then informed, who contacted a U.S. Marshal, leading to Tyler’s arrest late Thursday night. Both President Donald Trump and Utah Governor Spencer Cox have voiced support for the death penalty in this case.

Robinson now faces multiple charges, including aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, and obstruction of justice, marking a grim chapter in the aftermath of a senseless and politically charged killing.

Charlie Kirk’s devastated widow Erika wept over her slain husband’s open casket and grasped his hand, heart-wrenching images she shared on her social media Saturday show.

Erika Kirk, 36, can be heard repeatedly whispering “I love you” as she kisses Kirk’s hand for the final time. “I love you, I love you, I know, I miss you so much,” the grieving widow told her husband as he laid in a casket.

“They have no idea what they just ignited within this wife. If they thought my husband’s mission was big now..you have no idea,” the mom of two wrote in the caption early Saturday morning.






The grieving widow held Kirk’s yellowed hands. Erika Kirk

It's funny to me how ominous this article sounds...

This is Utah folks... This is the Rockies.. This is the West.
EVERYBODY has rifles like this and many many more. And most would consider this affinity for firearms to be a very common thing.  Normal, even...

If my math is right, this is when the kid was 14 years old.

He was dressing as Pepe the Frog in 2016 when he was 13.

It would have been highly unlikely, given the testimony that he only started going off the rails in the past couple of years, that this contributed to any sort of pattern.

That the family may have enjoyed shooting sports doesn't concern me. I just wonder what possessed (and I deliberately use that word) this kid to reject his family's values and go so completely off the beam. I mean, really, a tranny furry boyfriend? Beyond extreme.

He was NOT wearing a vest, there is pictures where his petros were poking out from under his shirt. Unless you are pasting fakies on top of your vest, he was NOT wearing a vest.

Just going off what was reported. It's hard to keep up with the back and forth.
