You know what would be good FBI experience for identifying violent criminals in a large crowd? The agents who investigated January 6.

Who have been/are being fired.

Excellent point: hips.hearstapps.com*

And now FBI SAs don't require a college education and their training is a barebones eight weeks long, less than what US Army MPs receive (20 total). Good job Kashyap Pramod Patel. Every time I see the D/FBI I feel like ordering a vindaloo meal.

Coda on the Dearly Departed:

"Israeli fascists including Itamar Ben-Gvir, Eli Cohen, Danny Danon, Benny Gantz, Isaac Herzog, Yoav Kisch, Benjamin Netanyahu, Yair Netanyahu, Amir Ohana, Miri Regev, and Miki Zohar mourned Charlie Kirk's death, with many describing him as a "friend" of Israel and linked his death to anti-Zionist activism."

This agent provocateur touted that Russia's brutal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine was simply a "border dispute."

The late director of America's Hitler Youth was doing quire well when he got whacked. Charlie Kirk's widow, the 2012 Miss Arizona, will inherit $12m: www.celebritynetworth.com

Charlie Kirk was killed by PEDO DONNIE.

More likely Spetsnaz to deflect from Russia's drone attack on Poland.

Def a hit. Pro shot to part of body not covered by kevlar. Maximum gore, head shot too quick. Footage of the shooter on roof and running away, 2 security detail giving hand signals seconds before the shot, private jet turning off its location device for 45 minutes then returns to airport. Trump / Netanyahu social media at exact time. Trump announcing him dead, not hospital or family, Pedo's "speech" obvioud deepfake...

You tell me?

He was wearing a t-shirt. Shooter missed the aiming point but got him anyway.

#7: Concur. Prima facie, this looks like a professional hit job with a well-organized getaway plan. Charlie Kirk made it easy for the assassin by being a sitting duck: www.abc.net.au

As you point out, this was a distant shot to Charlie Kirk's throat, which is a smaller and narrower target than his head or torso. The assassin might be an ex-military sniper. Dummkopf Trumpf made a ton of enemies by targeting the Mexican cartels. Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum recently extradited several of them to the US. These cartels have been recruiting experienced Colombian military veterans, so one possibility is a sicario.

About the coordinated social media posts, perhaps the two schmucks were already conferring by phone about the IDF Qatar raid when Charlie Kirk got whacked.

Maybe if the FBI wasn't busy deporting green card holders, they could do their actual job.

Crazy Eyes Patel's incompetence is on full display.

MOSSAD, the Israeli angle looks possible.

Too many " Coincidences". Netanyahu on the phone with Trump almost instantly.

It looks sketchy.

If the shooter is Never found I think an Israeli hit is possible.

If only to further push Trump into Israeli priorities and foment repression in America, even more as regards Israel

Qui Bono.

They're never going to catch the assassin.

Can Patel redact his way to capturing the killer?

The FBI right now could probably use all those experienced senior career professionals with decades of investigative experience that they fired for absolutely no reason.

It was predicted that this country would get hit by terrorism after Trump and Patel gutted the American security apparatus.

I count Kirk's assassination as the first of those blows.

It's a professional hit.

I guess we should be looking for trans Army snipers.

Authorities have recovered the gun - a bolt action rifle with a 4 round magazine.

They also are now circulating photos of the alleged shooter who is believed to have slipped into a suburban neighborhood. Good chance they catch him. Here's hoping.

Wow, they did forensics on the rifle that fast?

If they find him in a movie theatre.........

That's unusual, but does explain the single shot.

Why do you say unusual?

Exactly.

Why do you say unusual?

Because it's not an AR-15 clone, which seems to be the most common rifle of choice these days.

I would have went with a .270, but now I'm just being knickpicky.

#29 | Posted by horstngraben at 2025-09-11 05:37 PM | Reply

A .270 might have cleaned up some of the vertical inaccuracy I suspect occurred.

#30 | Posted by horstngraben at 2025-09-11 05:38 PM | Reply

I read somewhere it was a .30-06.

#31 | Posted by REDIAL at 2025-09-11 05:42 PM | Reply

My knowledge of guns is quite limited but I from memory I think it was 30.06

It was. I would use a .270, but that's just being nitpicky.

The professional assassin will never be caught.

It wasn't just an irate individual.

This was well planned out and executed.

Netanyahu has ended a high profile voice in MAGA from questioning Epstein's connections with Israel and Trump gets to declare martial law and attack liberals and democratic politicians.

It's a win win for them.

I thought you were implying the choice of the 30-06 was unusual. Now I understand.

FYI, if anyone was wondering, my point isn't to --------- my gun preferences and vast firearm knowledge all over the thread.

It's more to point out that the shooter had some measure of practical knowledge of what to use and how to use it.

That cross eyed moron wrote a kids book.

Now he's the head of the FBI.

He was hired to be a yes man for Donald Trump.

He's gonna thumbs up whoever he's told is the killer.

It's sad what the trump administration has done to America.

Trump had Kirk killed because he needed a BIG distraction from the Epstein stuff.
Everyone is disposable in Trump world, even his "friends".
