Someone murdered Charlie Kirk

#2,551
I'm probably the worst shooter here, but in my attempt to understand what happened, I tried to replicate this shot.

Caveats: I know that 30.06 and 77gr smks have different flight paths, I know he was shooting from a downward angle which can cause low hits, etc 10 other things I haven't thought of.

When I first saw it happen I was sure it was a single rifle shot - what I didn't initially understand was why someone would aim for the neck (thinnest / smallest target). I also guessed the round was a 308 (it wasn't, but close enough). A human head is about 8" tall on average, if someone aimed right between the eyes (body armor, no formal training) I loaded up my Hornady app and 4doff and I figured that a regular 762 drops about 5" at 200 yards.

So my initial guess was that the shooter aimed at his head (or his mouth) and didn't account for bullet drop and the round impacted in the clavicle (about 5" low) and the spall from the armor hit (likely some kind of steel plate with no kevlar backing or rhino liner / spall control) his carotid artery.

So I setup a man shaped target at 200 yards, with a 20" barrel and 77gr OTMs, zero'd for 100 yards and aimed right at the center of the head.

The impacts were almost exactly where you see in the video:

PXL_20250912_172157133.jpg

Dont mind the follow up shots at the two small targets, those (poor) shots were me later trying to actually figure out my 200 yard hold over.

The vast majority of shots group up perfectly in the (shooters) right clavicle - right where the initial impact appear to be. Rounds impacting shaped body armor right there with no spall control could absolutely result in spall impacting the carotid artery - which is what I saw on the close up video.

Note: I mourn the death of Charlie Kirk, I hate that politics has gotten to this point. I think the us vs them mentality is the strongest best attack anyone has ever used against America and the only way we could be defeated or marginalized is by our own internal strife.

I didn't do this (admittedly poorly conducted) experiment out of sick fascination - I just wanted to understand what happened and verify the facts for myself.

I now believe that almost anyone with moderate firearms experience on a flat range and a little luck could have made this shot. There is nothing special about zero'ing for 100 yards, putting the crosshairs on someone's face, and squeezing the trigger. The idea that this shot required some kind of pro is laughable in hindsight.

The infil/successful exfil is what made me think this was the work of a zealot and not a crazy - and the fact we only got him so fast because his dad turned him in supports this.

Also, trying to blame Israel / the Mossad / Jews for this one is pretty thin and beneath most of you.

Charlie was a friend to us.

This is great. All these corporate companies have zero tolerance policies. They all say they have values. It’s all really just bullshit though.

id be happy if this bitch dont ever get a job again. Someone should write to LinkedIN and see if they also say they have morals and values.

Even Elon should put his money where his mouth is. The internet is the devil.

Technology is the beast. It’s ushering in the 7th seal. Eventually, each living person will only ever get 1 email. 1 internet identity. At that time, we will have the mark of the beast.

Yep, I know it sounds nutty but that’s where it’s going. We will have brian chips.

Let’s ask Elon and Zuckerbags to turn off the social media. Let’s make a global law around social media!!

That will never happen. Even after a global nuclear war the internet would be the first thing they bring back. It’s truely “The Beast”

There is no more room for the “analog man in a digital world”

I've pretty much held that opinion since the beginning.

Coincidence. Probably but........................

If he wasn’t wearing plates what’s the explanation of what’s going on with his shirt getting stretched almost to his ear lobe as the bullet hits? Also at 8:30 you can see an object flying through the air coming from Charlie’s right…wtf is that?

Plates wouldn’t necessarily cover his nipple depending on the size. But if it did hit a plate why is there no mark on the white tee shirt?



Here’s another look at the object in the air:

Interesting test. IMO there was no body armor. The kid just made a lucky shot.

Don't trust anything in those 'Amazon books'. I got suckered into buying a couple for a research project (before the AI garbage rush). They were nothing but amalgamations of news stories, posts from forums, older newsarticles (who are they, what is 'politics' etc. I could create one in a few hours by clipping and pasting articles, putting a cover on it and throwing it on Amazon. If I had no scruples whatsoever. Which is what these folks are doing.

As for the date... What side of the date line were they on? Or are the computers simply holding a number off? Can the "author" enter their own publication date so as to be listed 'first' in the search results? There are a million reasons why these garbage books may have a publication date that is 'off.' And none of them relate to a group of conspirators sitting around and saying "We'll put out a book the day before our mission."

Sirhr

PS. One of the books I was suckered into buying was the 'Memoir of General Kuribiashi' who was the Japanese general charged with defending Iwo Jima. Now I knew he had died on Iwo Jima. But for some reason, that didn't kick in and the description seemed good. Who knows, maybe he had left behind a diary or something. And I wanted insight into his defense posture. So I ordered it for something like $24. And it turned out to be one of a series of books from some POS whack job Japanese "Psychic" who was apparantly 'communicating with people after death' and writing their memoirs for them. (Probably now taking money from stupid women to find their beagles.). The book was total garbage and within a few pages I was going "WTF???" . But then I went back and read the "Forward" to the book where the author says he is a %$#@ing medium and communing with historical figures from the beyond and that his books are legitimate memoirs because they 'Told him'... probably through a Ouija board or through patters of chicken bones. I don't get frauded easily... but this one got me. So beware the crap on Amazon!

It's definitely possible, he aimed a little higher, 30.06 has a flatter flight path than 223, and the bullet drop just made the round hit the neck instead of the face or chest.

But I've seen videos showing something behind his shirt and it would make sense for him to have some kind of body armor / stab vest as they were accounting for threats from a local / close range attacker.

It's too bad they didn't have someone glassing roof tops.

I use to believe that, but now believe they are terrified of it happening, as remember, their info is out there as well & no one is untouchable. The amount of awaking in the last few days as brought reality to the forefront, even to those who thought appeasing the left with words and mouthing against those who brought the truth, was the answer. The powers to be need a major distraction now, so be prepared for an out of the blue event, or WW III to kick off quicker than they wanted,...

No one here even knows if the rifle was zeroed plus it's set up like shit.
Only the shooter knows where he aimed, could have been a centre mass shot he fucked up.
30-06 is not necessarily flatter than .223 at 200 yards but it's irrelevant as there is not enough details to go on.

Only armor he was wearing was the armor of god. As pointed out, You can see his nipple through a shirt

Also, unless the shooter testified where he aimed, I’d be Leary of any theories of POA. We have no idea where it was zero’d, what projectile was used, wind direction, how the rifle was held and all other sorts of factors the would effect point of impact. So while I can understand some discussion on it, its only natural people want to grasp what happened. Unless you know, I’d be cautious with those assertions.

I think I was clear, but just in case I don't think my test was scientific or dispositive at all. Just an attempt to understand what happened and to see if my theory held water.

Again this was conducted when all we had was the initial video, didn't know distance, and people were trying to say it was some kind of professional hit from (insert intelligence agency here).

I just wanted to know what kind of level of proficiency would be required to make a shot like this and if I could explain the neck hit - which seemed like a really unlikely place to aim.

He's a known, leftist kook, and has been forever. He is being prosecuted for obstruction of justice and will probably serve time in prison, if he doesn't get an Obama judge, for it. He may be ethnically Jewish, but I doubt his goes to Synagogue, studies Torah, and I'll bet you a Blizzard he an "Anit-Zionist", which almost all leftist "Jews" are.

So when the long list was posted of 'political violence' I was trying to rack my brain for an example of right wing assassination in the US. We should be balanced after all.

I was sure that John Wayne Gacy (not political... he killed and/or ate people on both sides) was a Republican and had been photographed with Reagan or something. Nope, I was wrong. He was a hard-core Democrat and actually got photographed at a Rally with Rosalyn Carter (he had the picture hanging in his house) and it was a big embarrasment to the USSS and Carter! So much for that one.

So it came to me last night that the only political assassiniation I can think of by a right wing person or group was the killing of Alan Berg, a Chicago talk radio host. This was committed by a group called 'The Order' which gunned him down. I also remember a group called the Covenent, Sword and Arm of the Lord based out of Arkansas. But they were more in the Christian Separatist mold. But IIRC, they were committing robberies and stealing cash and guns for possible offensive operations later. They got taken down in a (peaceful) Siege by the FBI HRT which talked the leadership out of the compound with no shots fired. But were heavily armed.

So there 'have' been instances of violence by genuine right-wing/Christian identity nutballs. Who are no better than Red Guard Socialist nutballs. The common factor being that at a certain point of zealotry, they all turn into nutballs. So, as always, we need nutball control.

Just posting in the interest of 'actual' historical balance and accuracy. Realistically, there have been periods when groups in the USA posed armed (insurrectionest) violent threats. Bleeding Kansas. John Brown (The Spark that set off the Civil War). The Red Riots of the 1920's. The Black Panther Party (more of a black separatist group... not looking for an insurrection... looking to turn inward and promote a strong independent black presence in America... which LBJ and Hoover thought terrifying.) The Survivalist, white power and militia movements of the '70's (Skokie trial and march) that went away when the economy took off like a rocket. And now the American Socialist movement that is our current violent insurrectionest threat. The biggest difference today is that the Socialist movement is DEEPLY embedded in government and institutions and media and is funded at a level that is mind-boggling.

Just going all 'historian' because I hate having an historical itch I can't scratch. By all means, add additional examples beyond my one (two). Because I am sure I missed some.

Or a Functional Check Flight (FCF)… or had a malfunction and had to RTB, or the owner forgot something important and returned, or they simply transitioned to VFR, or any number of other normal reasons why an aircraft would do what that one did.

I really wish people would stop posting shit that isn’t related to Charlie’s murder in here…there are enough legitimate conspiracies to keep everyone busy, and honestly don’t need to keep muddying up the waters with crap like this unless some legitimate connection is shown.

I'm still dubious on the armor skip, hopefully the coroner report will clarify it.

The distance was ~135 yards not 200. Here is a video with typical .30-06 hunting ammo in gel at 100 yards.



The movement is violent, same as seen in the video and pics. The bulk of the energy and cavity would have still been dumped within his neck.
FWIW in one of the clearer videos from his left side there was what appeared to be a small exit wound on the side of the neck. Yeah it could have been blood spray but it seemed to appear before the gusher did.

I agree that shape(s) seen under the shirt are odd.

It varies a lot. I've shot stuff that you'd think would get rocked but just put a nice hole in and out, and i've shot stuff that blew off the table 6ft into the air. The amount of energy is amazing, its just chance or a guess if the energy will be transferred. A piece of paper for example. Sometimes its a nice hole, and sometimes its bigger and jagged. No one knows what grain bullet he used or its design so its velocity, weight, energy is all a guess.

A lot of the shit that's happening right now is because of his groups funding liberal DAs, liberal college groups, liberal political candidates. Go after him and his POS kid take away their money make it impossible for them to fundraise.

Nope, he subverted the US, and many warned about him for years upon years to no avail. Erase him, his kid, followers, helpers & appointees, apply their funds & assets to the national debt they helped, deepen w/their agendas.

I fully believe that DJT has known all this for many years, how could any criticly thinking adult not?

This political assassination has hopefully set his Presidential ass on fire.

I think he is smart enough to use the political Tide to avenge Charlie Kirk's assassination and stop the orginised and well funded destruction of our beloved country.
