Still investigating cause of death, but it appears to be some sort of puncture wound in the neck region

There may have been a weapon "aimed" or "targeted" at the victim for the shooting to occur. The FBI is 60% certain that a random bullet did not magically manifest and hit the racist conservative idiot in the neck.

[–] lorski@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 hours ago

EPSTEIN FILES. NOW.

[–] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 9 points 4 hours ago

Whoa damn. Release the Epstein files.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Generally when someone is shot, they are indeed targeted. I know the concept of aiming is somewhat anathema to you Americans, but it is often much more effective than your usual approach to firearms.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Your slurs are ironically inaccurate to the point where it still causes the US Army difficulty

Look up the "The Cult of the Rifleman"

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Well. They've secured the local woods so we're good.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 14 points 8 hours ago

Why is no one questioning God's involvement?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 8 points 9 hours ago

I thought it was gang violence.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 28 points 12 hours ago

No fucking shit he was targeted. That is how you aim a gun.

Wow. The FBI is either incompetent or complicit.

[–] hornedfiend@sopuli.xyz 13 points 11 hours ago

Current FBI is like 5th graders playing FBi. It’s hilarious how bad it is.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 29 points 13 hours ago

Nah, stray bullet bro.

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 21 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I'm no expert, but if you hit someone, it means you targeted them.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Usually. Sometimes not. Like those people somewhere in the middle east, celebrating a wedding, shooting their AK47s in the air, and the groom getting killed that way...

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I was gonna say this. Of course he was fucking targeted. You don't just fire randomly and accidentally.

[–] gabbath@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Well you never know when it's a MAGA event...

[–] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 14 points 12 hours ago

Of course he was targeted. The man dedicated his entire career to spreading misinformation and hatred. He reaped what he sowed.

[–] icelimit@lemmy.ml 16 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Pretty sure the puncture wound was from a random meteorite falling from the sky.

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

What a way to find Jesus

[–] trslim@pawb.social 5 points 11 hours ago

i think i probably have a better chance of finding the killer if i wanted to than this administration.

[–] CPMSP@midwest.social 5 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

It's called gun control, motherfucker.

[–] Bms@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Gun control means hitting that your aiming at. He had pretty damn good control

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 6 points 8 hours ago

No, no, this is the system working as they said it would. Good guy with a gun took out the bad guy. In what is probably a first.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 25 points 18 hours ago

It is amazing that Trump sacrifices his personal Joseph Göbbels just to distract from the Epstein files.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 21 hours ago (4 children)

I think it was an accident. He dropped the rifle and it accidentally shot Kirk

Those guys are professionals and it shows. Amazing work in just a few hours.

[–] demizerone@lemmy.world 11 points 18 hours ago

Send up the Bat signal! The pod cast bros running the FBI don't have a fucking CLUE.

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 20 points 21 hours ago (6 children)

The "nearby woods" have been secured, lol. Yeah, you do that. Watch out for the deer and bears and shit.

FAR too many "coincidences" for this to not have been an inside job.

The weird pre-prepared AI video of Trump announcing his death

The plane randomly arriving and likely picking the shooter up

The shooter being clearly an expert marksman

The right all coordinating to declare a civil war within seconds of it happening

The FBI conveniently not being able to find the guy

Not 1 but 2 plants in the crowd to distract authorities

Etc etc etc.

Release the Epstein files you orange pedophile piece of shit.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

This is the same government that couldn't keep a sexual act between two consenting adults secret. You're being paranoid.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

This isn't the same government.

That government didn't have nearly the same complicit media, nor federal agencies that this one does.

Shit, it didn't even have the same ones as immediately after 9/11.

You severely underestimate just how bad things have gotten. Take a god damn look at the absolute blazing fire this administration has set to our constitution and law. This is unprecedented times.

Its not that we're paranoid, its that you stick your head in the sand.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

They also kept the Manhattan Project secret so there is that.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

That was back when the US government was competent.
