What I thought I saw as well...
For the hundreds of you messaging and texting me, yes, Charlie Kirk was wearing his bulletproof vest under his white T-shirt.
The weapon was recovered in a wooded area where the shooter retreated to. It is being analyzed by the FBI.
Multiple eyewitness accounts, slow-motion videos, and initial forensic analysis indicates the single bullet struck the vest first, ricocheted upward, and entered his neck.

Words of wisdom from J K Rowling.
If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

It's true.

It's true.
Suspect in Charlie Kirk's killing is identified, sources say
A family member saw photos of the suspect and turned him into police, two senior law enforcement officials say.

What commentary?
All I saw was one news report that mentioned possible foreign involvement and some people went nuts about how that means the Israelis must have done it.
In today's political climate I'd be amazed if it weren't who I blamed originally.
They are the ones violently trying to suppress any speech they disagree with.
Many kids on college campuses believe their Right to free speech includes shutting down other peoples Right to free speech.
There's a reason he was wearing a flak jacket, and it wasn't because he thought Israel was gonna shoot him.
He went around trying to debate and engage with those holding radical left political beliefs. Many of which are straight up communist in origin.
....and communists are known to sometimes resort to killing their political opponents.
Just look at all the rejoicing expressed by too many on the left now.
Not saying all of them could or would do such a thing, but a small number who hear and believe their message, are in fact willing to do so.
99.999999999% chance it's a leftist wack job that's been eating dem/msm propaganda for the past Decade like it were his favorite candy.
Not turning him in would have made him an accessory to the crime after the fact.
Not in today's Idiocracy, where law is weaponized - always against those who want stable society.
I'm thinkin' (speculating) his dad is not of the same political persuasion as his pos son subscribes to.
It is Utah after all.
Had he, he may very well have not turned him in.
Leftists like that will mostly stick together and change their stories to help each other. Truth means nothing to them.
Utah is gone. Like Idaho is no longer a deep Red state.
I knew Utah from the late 1980s...frankly, at the time, I was not impressed. It was a closed society and I wasn't welcome in it. Even to having a morning cup of coffee....Mormons disapprove of caffeine, so just finding coffee on the road was a challenge. I disliked it; but there was no denying it was clean and well-organized.
I was in Moab three years ago; and it's obvious that the non-Mormons now have the upper hand. Coffee and alcohol are now commonplace. So is chaos. ZCMI, the LDS-owned department store, is now part of Macy's...which of course is different from the R. H. Macy Company of the past. Macy's was purchased by Federated, a low-rent department store, who took the Macy name - took it downward.
But, anyway. They've got hyphenated-Americans aplenty in Salt Lake - answering past accusations of being Ray Cysts. With the Diverse Americans, comes, magically, problems that no liberal can figure out how to solve or prevent. They've got a fair amount of neglect and chaos on the streets - and yes, on the highways, too. Police chases are more common than in the past. Moar cops, too, to manage all the Diversity.
Utah is going where Colorado went; where Idaho and Montana are going. I think we're a bit behind Utah, mostly because we're getting the Coffee-House Leftists, where the street grunge is going to Salt Lake. Idaho is likewise getting upper-demographic Woketards.
I saw this in Wisconsin, also, when I lived there. They were in the Coffee-House Liberalism stage - poetry readings, street fairs, Save-The-Whales.
Now Wisconsin is deep in the dregs. Colorado, also; with the madness of homosexuality added to the mix. Having seen this play out three times, I know what's in the future for my current home area.
Maybe I won't live long enough to see it come to its end. Turning Colorado upside down took thirty years...
It was pure speculation, so I didn't find it worthy of sharing/cross-posting here. Turns out it was likely wrong, but that wasn't the point. Prior to facts coming out, we just didn't know anything for sure.
I didn't know "for sure" it was a pos leftest idiot, but my intuition and led me to see a bigger picture prior to all the pieces being fully visible.
After all, once fully visible, anyone can call it.
Like I said, he didn't wear a flak jacket to protect him from Israel.
He wore it to try to protect himself from the radicals he knew hated him and wanted to silence him.
Too bad he didn't insist on an indoor venue with security.
....but I bet any other conservative speakers on campuses will now. You just can't trust those brainwashed f's. Too many have drank the commie Kool Aid. Shoulda drank the Cool Aid instead. They could use it. Lol

Yeah I think I read about the Israel angle at some point. Thought that it would be quite the operation if true.
I dismissed it as fantasy until such time that something more concrete appeared.
Only took 33 hours to figure it out.

The shooter ended up being exactly the kind of guy I predicted when this happened.
And I predicted a young Leftwit whack job with marginal rifle skills shooting a .30 caliber deer hunting type rifle at a target sitting down an "easy" 200 yrds away. 200 yrds is nothing for a barely adequate rifleman and security at these events is generally so atrocious, even after what happened with Trump, that nobody bothers to even look up, nobody operates security drones, and even still nobody expects this could happen to them.
I consider myself only an average rifleman. I can cleanly take game within the parameters of the rifle, load, distance, conditions, but certainly no expert. Store bought rifles and ammo can allow this kind of sub-MOA accuracy from 100 and 200 yrds with ease. Even with a heavy caliber H&HMagnum/300 grn Swift A-frame on the left. On the right is a 3006 like the one this kid used where I basically put 4 specific target bullets/Loads thru a dime at 100 yrds with one flier low in the group after the barrel heated up.
On the bottom is a different load from the same rifle only this time shooting a deer and antelope hunting bullet/load at 200 rds. This combo pretty much put 5 of the 6 bullets inside a quarter at 200 yrds. All loads were handloads.
So whats my point ? My point is right away all these talking heads on TV start acting like it was Jason Bourne behind the trigger instead of some nitwit kid barely skilled and armed. At each time, two for Trump and one for Kirk, they turned out just like I predicted. Screwball kids with a very marginal skill and knowledge set. In fact I'd bet this mutt who killed this guy was probably aiming for the head and hit his neck instead.
Before all this I had never even heard of Kirk. I'm retired and getting old so Politics has become like shooting and hunting has. I do very little of either and what skills I had Ive mostly lost. But I do know we have a big problem with these killer kids all spun up by either the glorification of crime or the settling of politics with guns and violence. These Leftist whack job Politicians get them all spun up and then send them out to do mayhem in their own private armys.

There is no justice.
The perp(s) will escape.
Innocents will die. As in every war.
I have lost any faith in what remains of the system.

While I understand your pessimism, I'm thinkin' an example will be made of this guy.
