RIP Charlie Kirk

[lyman]

say what you will about the guy,
he was very passionate about what he spoke,
and a very good orator, able to get his point across w/o theatrics or even being disrespectful,

we need more like that,

Looks like Trump needs to order the military and/or National Guard to any and all GOP leaning events for security.

Kirks lack of security has fallen upon the local police and not the SS this time. Of course the SS has already shown who they work for.

Trump has been in office less than a year and so far 2 GOP members have been shot or killed (including Trump).

Strange how no one from "other side" have been endangered huh?

[lyman]

Kirk supposedly has (had) his own crew of security,

lot of armchair quarterbacking on what was missing, re security,

too early to really tell what is what,

[Allen]

Armchair but.... the assassination attempts continue w/o any or much improvements/changes.

Bottom line is people are being shot and the shooters seems to have ample time to take aim and succeed at head shots w/o misses. At distances that takes time and no one is noticing them or trying to stop them. Simple $100 drones like the realtors use could have spotted the shooters in the past 2 events. They were on roof tops per the articles published. No place to hide there.

Money talks. Money gets actions and/or lack of actions.

now supposedly the shooter used a Milsurp Mouser in 30.06

The rifle is being scrutinized for DNA/fingerprint evidence. Also being examined are doorbell security cameras along the perp's exit route. While not saying everything they know, I sincerely believe the murderer's identity is known and may well be apprehended today.

Consider also shooters like this tend to be a cowardly lot - a suicide preceded by a strong anti-Trump/conservative manifesto is not to be discounted. SW

[lyman]

correction, the Mauser pics released show a Sporterized rifle, with scope,

[5thDragoons]

As of a few minutes ago, feds say they have the shooter's name. Federal Marshalls have also been called into the hunt. It won't be long!

Unless, of course the murderer suicides. SW

Ukraine may be involved.

[Oyaji]

Ukraine may be involved.

How's that?

[barretcreek]

Kirk was strongly opposed to any U.S. aid or other involvement. Wait and see if/when the killer is caught.

The kid got taken into custody around 2300 last night. He had confessed to his dad who called it in and most likely saved him from an "itchy trigger finger" SWAT team executing a no-knock arrest warrant. What happens to him in prison? I wouldn't want to be him.

I have been through Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix many times and always thought it was a special place. Now I know why.
