A little surprising to me. I don't think this was a one man show, and it likely had money behind it, so I thought it might be a newer version, such as a Barrett 50 cal, or a Mc TAC-50. More effective at long range.
200 yards isn't long range, especially for a 30-06. It's like a .243, shoots flat and is accurate at distance. Anybody expecting this to be a "pro" is wrong. Experienced shooter, yes, but not a "professional hit-job". This was planned and calculated, but I don't think the shooter expected to survive. Too much left behind.
Of course it isn't long range. I just meant distance in general. And I don't think it's a pro shooter either, just an experienced one. But I also don't think he did this without help of some type. Money, an unlocked door, an escape means, something...

Well, that's the way DEI woks. You can either fix the inequities that exist all the way back in primary school between different groups or you will inevitably be putting less qualified people of certain groups in these jobs.
You want to know why a minimum wage hike referendum can pass in a deep-red state like Missouri but they don't support Democrats? It's because Dems don't really care about working people anymore. They only care about how diverse the aristocracy is, and you can't really blame them.
I think some things Kirk said are over the top but we have to have SOMEONE stand up against the idea that any discrepancy between difference groups of people automatically just reflects societies biases. It's wreaking havoc on education, public safety. the scientific and medical establishment, and other areas.
Liberalism that says the problem isn't the rich but racism and sexism isn't liberalism, it's an identity-obsessed cult.
I'd like people to list the things Kirk said that were "over the top". The man was not remotely a wild provocateur who took extremist positions at all. Those attacks are just automatically and mindlessly attached to ANYONE who is remotely right of center. Its so predictable and automatic at this point.
As I said earlier, if CHARLIE KIRK was too extreme or over the top in his positions then conservatives are simply not allowed to publicly speak on their values and beliefs.
Even the example you brought up that some are talking about is not remotely the context of what he said on that. The man said in the same breath its not because a black man is not capable, its because DEI means you know ANY minority or otherwise possibly may have not been fully qualified due to DEI quotas. So DEI instead of helping minorities ends up hurting the minority candidates more than anyone. Without DEI, you see that minority pilot and you have no doubts they are fully qualified and you feel secure.
THAT was the context of that exchange which anyone can see on TP USA or Kirk's channel.
I'm willing to bet no matter what they point to its going to be that same kind of dishonest twisting of what was said.
I've been watching his content for a while, there was nothing controversial about the man beyond him being an EXTREMELY well spoken and articulate conservative. And that is just not allowed in the left and the MSM.

The moronic left still believes that conservative Gen z and young millennials watch Fox news all day.
They are ignorant
Unfortunate, the younger generation gets their news from TikTok influencers that where CCCP shirts.
Not all young people are left wing
They consume a lot of media, not just TikTok

Definitely an experienced shooter, and from what I saw in drone footage it actually looks farther than 200 yards but will wait to hear what it actually was.
Im interested in the angle because if you look at the overhang of the tent, you dont have too many degrees in the angle to the roof to shoot. I think since the venue was like a bowl, it might just look flatter than it actually is.

I met Truett Cathey once. He signed one of his books for me. My impression of him in person was quite positive.

Thank you CP and Bearhawkeye for posting them.
None of us here are in a position to singlehandedly hold back evil. That only happens in the movies. The best we can hope to do is to navigate our way around it.
But what we can, and must, do is never let this act of leftist evil fade with time. Someone (was it GC?) pointed out that this was a clarifying moment to distance himself from those in his life who follow only the progressive playbook. I am not able to do that. I would be left only with my wife and a few select friends to interact with. But I can at the very least stop being silent when these friends and acquaintances start spewing more one-sided nonsense. I will endeavor to do so.
I didn’t pay much attention to Charlie Kirk in his lifetime. I will do so in his afterlife. God bless his family.
No, that wasn't me. I said I was going to pray for those on the left. But with the myriad of posts in this thread, which is now at around 600, it's easy to make that mistake. No harm, no foul. (I don't remember who did say that, but again, it wasn't me.)

As I discussed in a previous post, look at what account this apology came from. It came from an obscure PR account that has only 20k followers. Why not put this on the main account? Reason being......... they were forced to make this apology, but do not really mean it.

bull****. (and I'm going apologize here for not holding my tongue on any of this).
I've been in my office trying to work and hearing about the shooting (i basically leave my non-work screen on x.. Today was the first day I honestly couldn't do it. this was literally the first day I had to keep "x' down as much as possible.
Remember
"Take it to the streets"?
"You've unleashed the whirlwind"?
"There will be a fight.. a street fight"?
Goddammit.. look at the people on TIKTOK that are ******* celebrating the death of a father and husband, because he INVITED KIDS to speak to him on college campuses about -anything- THEY WANTED TO DISCUSS, and he would try to prove them -wrong- if they were mistaken in their beliefs.
This is a man who was WARNING COLLEGE KIDS you're going to be in debt before you know it for a *******' worthless "piece of paper".
Charlie wanted teens and young adults to open their eyes and _THINK_ on their own. Use the Lord's words and really think about what they were standing for.
And some left-supporting assassin just took away a voice of reason for those kids, someone that fought _for_ them (Whether or not you agreed with what), he fought for blacks, whites, asians, indians, to be able to prove their MERIT for society.
So to any of you who want to disparage Charlie and his cause... I suggest you go do it while standing in front of his wife and children (did you know one of his little girl was reportedly in the tent with him?) and say the crap you're spewing out of your mouths.
Go say your crap in front of the kids and young adults he DID relate with whether on his school tours at a TPUSA meeting and who have nothing but wonderful things to say. Talk to people who met with him and disagreed with him, but had communications and discussions with those people.
Well said, man. (Though they're not going to because they're cowards.)
Well said?? To whom. Perhaps to someone who had disparaged Kirk. That certainly wasn't me and nothing I said deserved the personal attack included in his response. Remove the misdirected anger at me and I agree with everything he said. That's the irony of his attack on me.
I can handle being attacked by an idiot loon but I expect better from my so called allies.
It may be time for me to pull a andy and leave this place.
I may have misunderstood his post, but I didn't think he was directing it at you, but at leftists. I may have been wrong though.
