    Retribution against who? We don’t know who did it or if they were associated with any group.

        My understanding is that info is bogus. Notice it comes from the WSJ.

          Multiple outlets are reporting the same information though.

            All of the ones I can find point back to the WSJ as the source. Are there any that have a different source saying that?

              Here’s more, but you can just google the keywords “charlie kirk shooter trans” and find more. It’s not fully confirmed by every agency yet, I’ve just seen it reported by multiple sources is all.

                  Hilarious, this has now been proven false, the FBI is now about to contact the furry groups that were coordinating on discord. You should see the chat logs, multiple people knew about it about to happen and were cheering, but the truth will all come to light soon enough.

    A single and fatal shot fired from the roof of a tall building 200 yards away while Kirk was under a canopy.

    Despite strict lockdown procedures being a normal part of every college campus in 2025, the college officially evacuates the campus and the shooter just walks away.

    The FBI quickly catches and releases the wrong suspect twice, and the only description they can offer is a man in dark clothing.

    I have to admit this does have government conspiracy written all over it, but guess who currently controls the government?

      Yeah that shot was masterful… conspiracy or not, this was a trained sniper.

        Nooot really? I mean I’m not gonna lie I haven’t really looked into the exact shooting here but 200 yards isn’t really that crazy of a shot. If you assume the shooter was aiming for the neck it becomes a bit of a crazy shot, but I bet they were aiming for the head or body.

        I’m sure many people who regularly go hunting could land a 200 yard shot. Heck I bet if you gave someone a few weeks of practice in a range they could consistently land 200 yard shots.

        I say this from a place where I actually have fired guns before, including things like Ar-15s and an assortment of hunting rifles. They’re just too easy to use.

          I’d probably aim for the neck to be honest. Gives room above and below for error.
