      From the low res photos he seems like he might be hot. Two hot shooters in a row? IDK what this means for fall and spring shooting trends, but I like it.

        Until Thomas Matthew Crooks I used to think that going by three names was the key element to being an assassin, but maybe it was being hot all along.

        Maybe that’s why Lee Harvey Oswald was killed. Not because somebody was upset he’d shot Kennedy, but out of jealousy he was going to be knee deep in clunge.

    I don’t know about y’all, but I know for sure who shot Kirk. It was the old man that lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C… He is constantly using violent rhetoric and threatening anyone not white. He’s scaring the neighbors. That’s the guy that did it.

      I heard for the Kirk shooting they were looking for a lunatic on a roof and I saw a video of some one fitting that exact description on the roof of the address you provided. The FBI should be looking into this.

    No one ever gets those rewards, or if they do, it’s a couple hundred dollars for all your time they wasted.

    Doesn’t help to snitch to the government.

    Over the last 20 years for every $2000 in reward money offered by law enforcement in the United States, less than $4 has been paid.

        A lot of people are saying Trump sent the hit. Is it a joke or do you actually think he might’ve?

          I think if you look at everything that his administration is doing, I definitely believe that they are trying to stir up enough shit to get people to lash out, and then they will declare martial law and then we will effectively have a new monarchy in the USA.

          Do I really think that Trump would have someone killed just to change the national conversation? Of course he would, without any problem. However, I don’t think Trump had him killed mostly because I don’t think Trump is running the show. When I compare his first administration to his second, they are clearly not being run by the same people.

          Trump is also obviously as bad off as Biden was at the end. He’s a zombie puppet that gets dragged out for show.

          Its a half-joke.

          Kinda like “Bush did 9/11”, it’s possible, nothing is really out of the realm of possibility, but sometimes life just happens, you talk shit too much for too long and someone will have a problem with you.

    No one will get paid any reward. Some corrupt official is going to pocket that money.

    I think it was Herschel, the Cracker Barrel Cracker that got canceled and reborn in a matter of days. He shot Charlie Kirk b/c he got canceled. Btw, that crowd in Utah was so white that mayonnaise was labeled spicy at the food court on campus. Also this, if the mf’er didn’t want to get shot, why in thee hell did he go to a school that coincidentally rolled back their policies regarding weapons/firearms on campus? There is that.

      Probably specifically to make a point about how it’s safer when there are good guys with guns or whatever

    They won’t. Trump has made a career out of stiffing the little guy, why would this time be any different?
