Charlie Kirk's murder could be just as it appears to be, the act of a depraved transexual. However, the current available evidence is a bit too obvious. I am inclined to ignore all of the current theories, including yours Chris, as much as I respect your ideas and views. I have lived too long and seen too many early conclusions turned on their heads to come to one that fits my current preference so well. I want to see the evidence. The shell casings with their various epithets, etc., are too much like an earlier case. There is something that rings a bit suspicious to me. I can certainly wait a little longer to see how this unfolds. The internet and podcasts thrive on pushing a narrative. I don't like narratives. I like facts. I will therefore await the unfolding of this particular drama and keep my powder dry.
That shot seems pretty tough though, 175 meters or so, light wind, compensating for elevation, etc.
Also, if this was just some weird kid, which I don't buy, it has to also mess with your aim when you're lying there about to kill a human being. That is a tough shot even with a scope.
The breathing, the squeeze, windage, elevation, distance, nerves, and movement. Only someone who has done this before does it this well with one shot.
Think about how many shootings happen where the shooter is very close, like 25 feet, and still misses.
Yes, it all seems so contrived, doesn’t it? I’m applying the “48-hour Rule” where things will hopefully calm down and we have real answers. Too much chaos out there right now.

I don't think we will get real answers.
I have jumped on too many bandwagons on the internet over the years and gotten burned. That 48 hour rule sounds good to me.
I hear ya.
