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 6 points 10 hours ago

EPSTEIN FILES. NOW.

[–] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 9 points 11 hours ago

Whoa damn. Release the Epstein files.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 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 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 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"

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 15 points 15 hours ago

Why is no one questioning God's involvement?

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 28 points 19 hours ago

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

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 29 points 20 hours ago

Nah, stray bullet bro.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 8 points 16 hours ago

I thought it was gang violence.

[–] hornedfiend@sopuli.xyz 13 points 18 hours ago

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

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 21 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 15 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 19 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 15 hours ago

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

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Wow. The FBI is either incompetent or complicit.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago
[–] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 14 points 19 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 21 hours ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] trslim@pawb.social 5 points 18 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 19 hours ago (2 children)

It's called gun control, motherfucker.

[–] Bms@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 6 points 15 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.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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

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 20 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 11 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 16 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

That was back when the US government was competent.

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

[–] kerrigan778@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 1 day ago

Wild, I was pretty sure his neck just did that.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 240 points 1 day ago (33 children)

Of course he was targeted. The shooter is likely dead by now. They probably called it Operation Watch Charlie or something.

He was killed as a distraction.

The blood shooting from Mr. Kirks neck alone was not good enough evidence to determine if the shooter hit what he was targeting. Great work FBI. At this rate, you'll soon be able to confirm the shooter used a gun.

So Trump's gonna send NG troops to Utah right? The crime in these red states is really out of control.
