I just want to point out some things since everyone is assuming it was a leftist shooter:
No one knows who the shooter actually is.
Most leftist reactions I’ve seen to Kirk have been to laugh at his stupidity, not get murderously angry at him.
No political message has appeared yet, like the one Luigi put on the bullets he used. Which if you’re a leftist shooter, come on you gotta at least do that homage.
The shooter killed him with one shot from a distance and got out without being caught.
I’ve never met a leftist who knows how to shoot a gun, nevermind one with that level of skill. If it was a leftist, I’m surprised they couldn’t catch them by now by simply arresting the one leftist who knows how to shoot at long distance.
Okay, all reasonable but number 5, that’s dumb, humans pick their hobbies more or less at random. Fuck it could be a teenage Mormon missionary with a gun fetish for all we know.
All I’m saying is if my sweet old southern grandma didnt pull me aside one day and show me her fucking sword collection I would be a different man
Being realistic the person shooting probably did disagree with his politics but until the shooter is caught we have no idea what the motives were. And there are other credible possibilities - a political / financial / personal rival, an opportunist / fantasist, a hit, or even a false flag. For all anyone knows he fucked the wrong dude’s wife. When the perp is caught we’ll find out.
In reply to #5. You must not know many leftists then, I don’t know a single leftist who doesn’t know how to shoot a gun. I know several who do not own them, but that’s because they’ve prioritized their own harm reduction. I know multiple who engage in shooting sports such as long range, three gun, etc.
But Kash Patel is on the case! They had the wrong guy detained for hours and the real shooter is gonzo.
Some random lefty in Birkenstocks and a ponytail did not make that shot from 520ft.
That’s why you hire for competence and not blind loyalty. The shooter had time to bail while they were harassing everyone that had yelled at Charlie during the event.

Genuine question: re point 5. Is this some kind of joke? Political affiliation reflects one’s level of marksmanship? That’s an absolutely wild idea.
The whole comment reads as astroturf. I would treat it as such.
This is a very stupid list, speaking as a leftist.

no ones assuming its a leftist shooter.
Right wing propagandists are trying to control the narrative and deflect by insisting it was a leftist shooter.
