    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
