I saw the video. It looks really bad. Neck shot followed by a huge stream of blood.
Apparently it was a deranged boomer Blangiardi look-alike. We have a lot of those around here.
At this point everyone should be on the lookout for deranged leftist attacks.
The people in your life who hold extreme leftist views should all be treated with extreme caution.
The media got them all wound up for murder and now it's open season on anything that represents traditional values.

Itʻs official: he passed.

Some have commented that Charlie Kirk has passed.

The Marxists have advanced to the general political assassination stage.

How does this not go kinetic from here?

How?

Wrong man taken into custody.

The shooter is still on the loose.

200 yard shot according to HNN.

I feel so sorry for his children. He seemed like a great guy and was literally willing to talk with anyone.

"could be one of his supporters shooting off in celebration"

“Civil terrorism expert Jason Curtis Anderson of One City Rising states:

The assassination of Charlie Kirk marks a dangerous escalation in America’s culture war—where the battle of ideas is now escalating into political violence against those who run organizations devoted to debate and civil discourse. Very few people grasp the gravity of this moment . Incidents like this don’t exist in isolation; they risk triggering a chain of events that can further destabilize the country.

Whether it’s the anti-ICE movement, pro-Palestinian agitators, anarchist networks, or NGO-backed permanent protest groups like Indivisible, we are watching the rise of something new and deeply alarming. As Tal Fortgang wrote in City Journal, America is entering a new era of civil terrorism—where the goal is no longer peaceful protest, but intimidation, silencing, and destabilization of our democratic order. ”

Where has this guy been?  Every conservative who schedules a speaking engagement at a traditionally liberal college has had to hire massive security to protect them before, during and after the event.  Some colleges have canceled events like this due to threats of violence, including bomb threats, rather than allow the person to decide for themselves if the risk is worth the benefit.

Riley Gaines 'ambushed and physically hit' after
Saving Women's Sports speech at San Francisco State

Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines was barricaded in a room at San Francisco
State University Thursday night after she was physically assaulted following a
speech to students about saving women's sports at a Turning Point USA and
Leadership Institute event on the campus.

Louis Barker, Riley's husband, said he had brief conversations with her while
she was barricaded in the room for nearly three hours.

"She told me she was hit multiple times by a guy in a dress. I was shaking. It
made me that mad. It makes me sick to feel so helpless about it," Barker said.
"She was under police protection and was still hit by a man wearing a dress."

Have people forgotten about the GOP Senate Softball Team getting shot up by a Bernie supporter?  Trump having multiple threats and at least one assassination attempt?  A man with weapons and duct tape arrested outside of Kavanaugh's home?  GOP campaign offices torched  and bombed?  Jewish students were barricaded in a school building while Hamas supporters outside tried to break in and attack them.  A Transgender shooter attacked a christian school killing two and injuring more.  The list is endless. 

When you sow seeds of hatred, you can't be surprised when violence is reaped.

Like I mentioned in another thread, nobody is safe out there anymore. 

Sharing political views, ideologies, civil debates on social issues.  Those things are gone now.

Only hate.  There's only hate out there.  Your point of view will be silenced by haters who disagree.

200 yards away?  Tell me this wasn't a planned and pre-meditated murder and I'll tell you that you are delusional.

This is how cowards deal with differing points of view.

Even for some decent and caring people out there, thoughts and prayers, ever increasing at an alarming rate, seems almost pointless now.

But is there anything else we can do?  Besides crossing the line and becoming just like them?

Another leftist trying to kill a conservative.  Since their logic has been proven wrong time after time, the only thing they have left is violence.

I'm already seeing leftist posting his stance on the 2A.  Like usual, these people lack morals.

The hard reality is that this will limit others like him who are doing public speaking events, which is a win for the left.  This is what the left wants, to silence any opposition.  Wait till they escalate their attacks on regular conservatives.  I've seen many vids of a MAGA hat being stolen or signage/tables being destroyed by leftist, including Charlie Kirks signage/tables.  I think he even got his MAGA hat stolen once.

But is there anything else we can do?  Besides crossing the line and becoming just like them?

Unfortunately, if human history is any guide, you may ultimately be required, by their attempt to exterminate you and yours, to return fire.

This is not becoming them, it is “un”-becoming THEM, a necessary thing to preserve civilization.

This tragedy will be used to justify the Palantir social credit system.

Hopefully enough people on the right understand the nature of corporatism by now.

You can't stop crazy people from doing crazy things.
Practice situational awareness.
It's not hard to do.

If I were an Utah legislator I’d introduce a bill mandating firing squad for all convicted of murder by assassination (firearm at distance), retroactive to 1/1/25.
