        At first I thought that had nothing to do with anything… then it zoomed out and showed their positions were within feet of Kirk. I can’t say for sure that this was an inside job, but those movements definitely indicate some kind of coordination was used - so it’s now believable this wasn’t a lone gunman.

            The real problem here is that everyone feels they have an interest in the investigation going one way or another. So they ignore evidence that is right in front of their eyes. And because everything is so disorganized, there is no clear or coherent narrative that can be proven or disproven which just leads to more speculation and confusion.

            Like that link you showed had a bunch of links to evidence of one kind or another. It claimed the shooter didn’t have a rifle with him in photos - but the link used to back up that claim clearly showed him running off the roof while carrying a soft long gun bag.

              clearly showed him running off the roof while carrying a soft long gun bag.

              Clearly? Bc 2 days ago I actually made a joke about how the images from that video were so blurry it reminded me of bigfoot footage.

              There is no need to believe anything you don’t feel is convincing.

              Just keep in mind, people that were in those files the Democrats wanted released the day Kirk was killed, are now trying to call for global violence against the left in retaliation for somehow causing Kirk’s death.

              'The Left is the party of murder’: Elon Musk calls for Republicans to ‘fight’ after Charlie Kirk killing

              Seems kinda odd that their base is trying to ask questions about stuff that definitely seems weird to me too, and instead of jumping on what you’re saying is “tin foil hat Alex Jones conspiracy train” like they normally would, they’re out on a world tour desperately trying to instigate a war of right vs. left.

        It’s a bunch of freeze frames and dubious links to military hand gestures that don’t make sense in this context and also don’t exactly match what either of them are doing – not to mention, is that the Google AI summary they’re using for definitions?

        I can’t tell if this is a meme

          You’re ignoring the part at the end that just shows the guy make a signal right as Kirk speaks his final words.

          The last 10ish seconds of that clip are what’s important

          I can’t confirm anything about what those signals mean, if anything. I can confirm with zero knowledge of military signals, the two guys standing about a foot behind Charlie Kirk when he was murdered were acting weird and making odd/awkward gestures just before he was shot.

            He’s sitting completely still in one spot. Why do we need two beefy secret operatives to tell this guy to shoot? To what end? It isn’t standing to scrutiny for me

              I just said I have no idea what they were doing. It is just very strange the guy in black made such an odd gesture as Kirk spoke his last words and the moment before the gun went off.

                It’s the law of large numbers. There were a lot of people in that crowd, and a lot of cameras. People make weird movement and have weird tics all the time. It’s statistically impossible for there to not be at least a few people who made some strange move right then and there.

                I think spreading baseless conspiracy in the wake of a shooting is typical right wing grifter fare, a la Alex Jones. I’d just like to caution everyone to view these with a very critical eye

      You’re getting carried away with the conspiracy speculation, not everything is a false flag. I can understand why you would want to believe it, but you’re ignoring tons of details that don’t fit the narrative. The biggest issue with the false flag explanation are the suspects themselves, who would have been terrible choices for patsies. The false flag theory just falls apart when you consider their bizarre backgrounds and motives, both for the attempted Trump assassination and the Charlie Kirk assassination.

      How can you believe this when the shooter was killed on sight AND there were casualties AND the shooter was a Republican? You don’t think if they staged it they would’ve avoided all of those things?

      Something stunk about that.

      I would not be surprised if the engineered a pop and his ear got scraped being brought to the ground, and his secret service details started firing blindly around into the crowd and hit the people. I have no confidence that Biden or his appointees in the FBI would get to the bottom of it either, or call it out if they found it. All fucking cunts.

      Even if they’re personally not, they’re enabling it. They’re enabling so much evil shit in their own country and all over the globe, while passing judgment on everyone else and claiming to be doing so in Jesus’ name.

      Pretty sure Jesus would be disgusted with this evil fucking bullshit.

    Now would be a perfect time for a civil war to erupt, preventing them from covering it up. Oh imagine a bunch of world-pedos get revealed. I would come drunk and happy to work for an entire week!

      How would a civil war prevent them from covering it up? Seems pretty obvious it would help them distract.

      Barely anyone has even noticed this happened bc Kirk was assassinated just hours later.
