By no means knowledgeable about stuff like this, but 200 yards really doesn't seem all that far for a rifle shot, especially when the target is sitting down and immobile.
I'd imagine that there are hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of Americans, even some who are just active hunters rather than militarily trained, who could have made that shot with ease.
As for getting away with it, it was a student event at a university as opposed to a Presidential speech. There would have been some security for sure, but I'd imagine that it was probably more close protection to prevent assaults rather than perimiter security guarding against a rifle assassination.
If the shooter had done this to someone like Trump and got away clean then I'd have far more questions. |  |

The death sentence still apies in Utah
If caught and convicted , can’t see Don commuting the sentence at all
Even though it’s a Mormon state , the church is officially neutral on this although previously they backed blood atonement
Not a place I’d want to live in |  |

FBI have found the weapon in a nearby wooded area said he jumped off the roof and ran into a nearby neighbourhood. Appears to be of college age. |  |

I don't know if any of you follow a young lad on X/Twitter called Charlie Simpson an aspiring political journo, but he's said on there today that his schoolteacher on the Kirk shooting said to the class:
"He wasn't a tolerant individual. At the end of the day, if you live by the sword, you might as well be killed by the sword."
I find that reprehensible on many levels and yet again I stand by my comments of a few weeks back about teachers.
There's a Guardian editorial with similar sentiments and very little in the way of outrage, but then you expect it from that one-eyed rag. |
He came to my attention after tweeting and broadcasting that this that a parent asked me about:
Complete and utter lie of course, designed to generate clicks and profit from hate. | | | |

In comparison, we can only be thankful that the whole of the UK were appalled when Jo Cox and David Amess were murdered. The correct response.
No one blamed right wingers when Jo was killed and no one blamed left wingers when David was killed. They blamed the deranged individuals that killed them. | | | |

There are disturbing reports allegedly from an anonymous police source, that the ammunition cases found with the rifle were engraved with anti-fascist, pro transgender ideology slogans. Hard to know if this is true, but if so that suggests a lot of planning and probably an activist rather than a professional hit. I imagine the trans angle will be picked up by Fox news, which recently claimed that 7 recent shooting events involved trans or "non-binary" shooters (including the Robin Westman case).
Kirk had just answered a question about the claimed involvement of trans individuals in recent mass shooting events when the fatal shot was fired.
Incidentally. it seems to me harder to link this killing to the general issue of gun control in the US than in many of the school shooting cases, even though I share the concern about lax US gun laws This is because the weapon involved was a bolt-action sporting rifle rather than the "black rifle", semi-automatic AR15-type weapons with large magazines favoured by many mass shooters. Anonymous sources say that this was an older Mauser 30-16 rifle, which most commonly has a 5 round magazine (4 rounds were found with the rifle). This gun can be legally owned in the UK by persons with a firearms certificate, and indeed if you Google you will see several currently advertised for sale by UK dealers from about £500 up. | | | |

A strong suspect is emerging with a lot of incriminating details...
If true yes, a Trans activist who acted unhinged in a debate with CK months ago.
I would imagine the FBI AI scanners have been going into overdrive once they ID'd the shooter on the roof. |  |

when the so called leaders in the usa start blaming the oposition party says a lot about usa mentality, whilst not a fan of the gentleman what happened is utterly deplorable, and to me when trump goes on tv and says about political violance should not happen ( which i agree with)when HE is going after anyone who spoke, against him just shows to me how democracy in usa has dropped to the gutter
My prayers and thoughts go to Mr Kirks family at this tragic time | | | |

It looks like the suspect's father turned him in to the police - and talked him into giving himself up. |  |

A shocking act. To do it in front of his wife and kids too. Hopefully the perpetrator/s will be swiftly caught and dealt with to the fullest extent of the law.
Political violence is rarely justified, but it has to be said that there is also a certain amount of hypocrisy coming from the right on the subject. Ask the families of Melissa Hortman or Gabrielle Giffords if this marks a departure from the usual political discourse.
Unfortunately America is a country with limitless supplies of both lunatics and firearms and events like this are unlikely to become rarer. [Post edited 11 Sep 8:30]

I completely agree. All I know of the man is he was a conservative and Trump supporter so I'd probably largely disagree with him but I can't be sure.
How Americans can still support the second amendment when things like this are literally everyday iccurrences is beyond me. When it was put into law there was a need for civilian militia and that was 1791, they don't need the militia now because they have a masive armed forces and local, state and federal police.
The place is bonkers.
Charlie Kirk, I know very little about him but kids lost a father, a wife lost her husband. My fear here is that ther will be reprisals, People who are against Trump may be in for a rough ride. | | | |

They support the 2nd ammendment when children are killed, so I have no problem understanding when a politician is killed. It's just a crazy situation that defies logic. | | | |
