Charlie Kirk. Kirk, 31, was the CEO...
He was only 31?
Geezus. Hate really does age you. I'm over 10 years his senior, and he looks 5 years older than me. And for once, this isn't a humble-brag.
Right?! Like my life has been sex drugs rock and roll but i have aged way less brutally.
Same with Stephen Miller, he's my age and we do not look like the same generation of human
I would not have guessed he was 5 years younger than me. He looked like late 40s. Geez.
Unfortunately, all of the competent people at the FBI left already.
Also, don't forget that Trump very likely fucked a child and is covering it up. Release the Epstein tapes...
"a child"? Trump and Epstein were best friends for decades. Trump almost certainly fucked many multiple children.
K.
In other news, Republicans blocked release of the Epstein files.
Where's the Epstein files and why is trump and Republicans covering it up?
They don't even know where the shot was fired from, apparently.
It'd be amazing if they literally never figure this one out. There'll be conspiracy theories forever.
I dunno, for all the alt-right frothing, Charlie Kirk doesn't seem like someone anyone will think about even a month from now, let alone set up a pin board for.
He deserved what he got, but if I was making a list of worthy targets I'd probably forget to add him.

Brutal, hilarious and true.
Trump admin won't let this go to waste. They'll find a suitable patsy, then justify taking guns away from everyone except card carrying nazis, I mean GOP members.
You mean the same FBI that just got purged of competence in exchange for loyalists? Oh my.
Looking forward to a disproportionate amount of resources being dedicated to finding this guy's killer because he was popular.
America is a joke and its working class is the punchline.
Meaning they don't think the person who shot him was black, trans or had mental health issues.
Well according to the community forum for my crazy neighborhood it's definitely a minority trans person who did this.
Also all mass shootings were done by trans people. Not even joking.
Probably a bad idea that you purged everyone in law enforcement who was good at their job but not a chud.
They'll probably pin this one on that poor, innocent, Mangione guy too!
They're looking for a white male ages 14 to 79 in Utah. So. Basically looking for a needle in a stack of several million needles.
Thoughts and prayers.....for the shooter. God speed American patriot.
They're trying really hard to get you to forget about the Epstein philes eh?
Maybe they have too many FBI agents helping dissapear brown people and scrubbing Trump's name from the Epstein files.
And the conspiracy theories are are already flowing. Apparently Kirk was convinced Israel was going to assassinate him so he had more security and wore body armor during public appearances recently. Another is that he pissed off the Nazi's to the point they wanted him gone. Another is that it was a distraction op.
It's been a fun read the last few hours. Like "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" so....it was probably a baby.
Oh no, better help them out with the most reliable leads I can make up on the spot.
Hi FBI, I have great news! I've done extensive My Own Research and after carefully reviewing the footage, maps of the university, and consulting with the gods of psilocybin, I have concluded with a high degree of certainty that his neck just kinda did that. Hope this helps!
Led by "it was clearly suicide" Kash Patel. While all evidence slipped away, they had the wrong guy in custody for 6 hours. This was a critical window but a bunch of sycophant gravy seals are not going to figure this out.
I’m willing to bet they’ll still find somebody to pin this on. Somebody whose skin isn’t lily white, and whose name may sound slightly foreign.
Honestly if you are going to kill someone in a high profile incident Utah is probably the best place. Easy to get into easy to get out of, for all we know the killer is gambling in Blackjack Nevada after proving their luck with that shot.
Don’t ya’ll worry. Big K Patel got this handled. Trump hired the best & brightest. Let’s Go Brandon!
I think the shooter was good, but not a professional. They knew enough to sight in their scope accurately, but not enough to account for bullet drop. Nobody aims for the neck. Odds are he was aiming for the head. If you zero in your sight for 100 yards, the bullet can drop 3 or 4 inches once it gets to 200. And he seems to have disappeared without a trace, so he planned it well. I assume he cleaned up after himself. Odds are they'll never find him.
