Charlie Kirk shot dead

[franky1]

This is so bad, and more stricter laws should be enacted, regarding gun control in the US.

charlie kirk was pro-gun. and its the type of anti-kirk people that want stricter gun laws, in so much as they probably used a gun to try to show how deadly they can be to try to get gun accepting laws and constitutions quashed

i know some lobbyists are probably going to want to turn all universities into prison walled institutions, all bags checked all identities shown and camera's on every foot of the campus, trying to push for security overreach, and reduce peoples freedoms of movements (probably snipers ulterior motives)
..
the university does have multiple camera's and the sniper wasnt using a handgun, so shouldnt be hard to review security camera's to see whom was carrying a large object into the building the sniper used. and then trace from camera to camera the path taken back to some vehicle or location to identify the culprit, it just will take time to investigate/review

this was not some situation of 1960's grassy knoll. it was ontop a building in the middle of campus with lots of angles of cameras

The act of killing is condemnable in the whole world. I don't know what gives some people the mindset that killing other people makes them a better person, as per those who have achieved their target of killing a soul that doesn't align with their ideologies.

This Charlie shooting is terrifying and unacceptable in Christendom. The person who's responsible for his killing, is demonic for killing a soul he didn't create. RIP Charlie

It is very unfortunate that someone will take the life of another man in the name of politics. A life that we can't create yet they take it in the name of politics trying to silencing their opponents. This is the reason why many people are scared of going into politics or having anything to do with it, because I don't seem to understand why people can't have different views and ideology on something, without the next man trying to kill the other one. That we disagree politically doesn't mean you should take my life or I should take yours.

May the soul of the departed rest in peace.

Regardless of our political affiliation, views and beliefs about politics, political violence or killings to silence the opponent is never a good approach in solving this issues. There's nothing that worths taking the life of any person because it's never can be bought with money. Killing a husband and a father of two kids and the last child of about 1yr old is never a way to justify this, and I'm totally not in support of taking someone's life because you don't like what they're saying, and besides there's freedom of speech in United States, and why such an outrageous act?

Sad to see such an intelligent guy murdered because of his views or opinions. Everyone should be allowed to air their views without any form of violent attack. The weapon used for the killing has been found but the killer is still at large. I suspect that this killer might have a military background. We are hoping the criminal will be caught and prosecuted. I don't think his death will lead to any reforms on gun policies because he was not a supporter of gun control. My condolences to his family and loved ones.

The FBI has reported that the shooter was wearing an all dark outfit. I think the camera has spotted him running on top of the building after the shooting.
It wont be hard to identify the shooter, if they review the video of people fleeing the scene after hearing the gunshot. Of course the shooter isn't some teleporter. He would come down the building mix in the crowd and flee.

Well, I dont know if the shooter fled without the gun or perhaps he took the gun and fled. Anyway, just like you said, the cameras of course would have captured every person coming into the premises and would easily identify someone carrying a big object into the building. Another thing to consider is, what if the shooter has been in the building even before the conference started. Everything was well planned.

I think investigation should be done on the school board too. The reason is because i am suspecting that the person involved in this killing must have been part of the organizer. Bring him to Utta where there are tall buildings around. The shooter know the perfect range or angle to stay, from up to down, it was a clear shot.

I have a clear video of everything he was discussing before he was shot. Charlie Kirk was a supporter of legal weapons. So the moment he spoke about shooting with legal weapons, he got shot. This simply means, the shooter orchestrated this thing perfectly.

More digging will be done..

That's what it is mate, just because a man choose to ear out his views and what he think is right he was murdered, is this not politics taken too far, very dirty way of going about politicking, that's to say if an entire clan is known for their truth, one blood sucking demon might wake uo one day to wipe out the entire clan just because of their outspokenness, this is too bad, I don't want to believe that such intelligent public figure has gone to the journey of eternity so soon just because of one blood sucking demon out there that thinks that people should not make their personal opinion known to  the public, the world is just becoming very unsafe everyday, am very sad about this incident, may his soul have peace as he has embarked on the journey of eternity.

I don't know whether he is the culprit or not, but what is circulating this photo in our discussion environment.

Anything related to the life of a person cannot be justified, whether there is competition, conflict, misunderstanding and or hostility cannot be justified if killing people becomes the way.

The price of one life is very expensive, there is no medium of exchange for it, no matter if you are left or right.

The man is innocent. I heard he has been released.

The image is not doing justice at all. The full footage has shown the bullet was coming from the roof and the current suspect in this image was not with any weapon when the gun was fired.

[Johnlomape]

This is an unfortunate scene and I heard that the culprit has been arrested charging to court soon.
Charlie was an amazing activist that supported Donald Trump and fight for the banning of abortion and other inhuman activities in the United States.

How I wish one word can bring him back. Lord take Congress gridlock and give us Charlie Kirk!

If politics was were the attack came from then is another version of seeing what politice are becoming when it shouldn't have been something worth taking another persons life, it is normal not to speak of everybody point of view but that doesn't mean that such person should be terminated because of what they believe, imagine how someone who is very healthy and strong will just lost his life just like that actually alot of things we usually don't imagine of happening physically is now happening live, he wasn't short on a place he could survive it, this is very heartbreaking and i pray all this violence should stop.

There are a lot of speculations that shows that there's also one guy from the roof top that have ran after the shot. The investigation is on going although I haven't seen reports yet if they've caught the suspect but none so far. One lead is they say that it's college guy but another speculation that's surrounding in the web. I've seen the video and it's terrible, heartbreaking. Condolence to Charlie's family and it's sad that he won't witness his child to grow up.

update: person of interest wearing blue denim jeans, black hoody with chest image* and black hat and shades

the FBI have followed a figure of such description from the building to a wooded area off campus.. where he dumped his weapon. so they have reviewed and traced his exit off campus. they are now viewing other footage before the assassination to trace that path backwards and then they will be be looking at further ways to trace him off campus after the assassination. they have a picture of "a person of interest" but not identified the name yet. they have the gun, a footprint and a palm print and are forensically looking into those

*eagle infront flag "land of the free home of the brave"

opinion:
its beleived from the images prior to assassination, the suspect did not arrive carrying the weapon in the photos, so suggestion is that it was well planned prior to the incident, by hiding the weapon on campus way before incident. the picture also shows the suspect clasping his hands in clenched fists to avoid touching the hand rail of stairs, etc, using only the sleeve of black hoody to press covered wrist against hand rail to stable himself as he walked up stairs, again shows intent to avoid leaving behind dna trace forensics, which shows more intent to want to follow through with act without getting caught.

From way before that!   Caveman likes cave cause it protects his family.   Different caveman does not share first's point of view. 

I don't think the caveman thing was an opinion about points of view. I think it was more of an instinctive desire to possess territory, food, or other resources.

Charlie repeatedly said that kids being shot (like 2 kids + shooter in school just today) are necessary evil to maintain the 2nd amendment.

That's clear. If you believe that certain deaths are a necessary evil, don't complain if you get killed yourself.

And he hated the very idea of empathy.

That sounds like a huge pile of BS to me. Can you back that up with links?

Hostility in our political environment is ramping up.
This also happened yesterday...

Yea, the world has lost it's mind. That story wasn't all over CNN and it should have been at least some. If we keep going like we are it's going to be anarchy quick, the Purge is real apparently.

Should have never taken corporal punishment away and parents should be spanking their kids asses and teach them actions have consequences.

[SuperBitMan]

I don't know whether he is the culprit or not, but what is circulating this photo in our discussion environment.

The picture is not clear so one can't really tell if it was a gun he was holding like that or not but the police can use some technology to make it more clear or dictate if that was a gun he was holding, if they do that and find out it was a gun he was holding then he should be arrested, and interrogated to find out if he was really the one that shot at Charlie Kirk because it may be a gun his holding but it could be for self defense as long as he is license to hold that gun when going out then one can't accuse him for the murder of Charlie Kirk.
The crime should be investigated very well so as to fine out who really killed Charlie Kirk, I believe there should be CCTV cameras in that place he was shot and people in that place may know where the gun shot came from, I believe if the police and FBI dig into that matter they will find the curprit.

Before his tragedy I didn't hear his name. Probably I saw his thoughts, but his didn't stuck in my mind. I have looked what views he had and what he have said. What I can say, I disagree completely with some of his thoughts. There is some his opinions that I agree with, some things is contraversial. But it's normal thing to have different views. But killing someone just because his views is completely different than yours. I have no words about it.
But that moment when such famous gun rights supporter was shot down, I don't really knowwhat to say. I just will quote his words:

I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/charlie-kirk-gun-deaths-quote/
But probably Kirk wasn't talking about his death...

[Lida93]

... but the question is why do people who disagree think the answer is to kill someone?

When such style of elimina happens, just have it in mind that those on the other side of the divide has has employed various means to bring the person to their side but couldn't succeed, and their last resort as a solution to them is assassination.

We do witness ugly incidents of this nature in my country too, and you would hear them say it was carried out by unknown gunman/men. It's quite unfortunate how God has always allowed this to succeed everywhere around the world where politics exists..

[MArsland]

I watched some footage of the shooting, and it hit Charlie in the neck. Damn this really happened in front of so many people. To date, there's no official information about the perpetrator, and the few screenshots circulating don't prove anything. Don't fall for conspiracies that simply exploit the situation. Keep monitoring this case and see who the real perpetrator is.

The impact of this incident could lead to the postponement of the 2026 World Cup, as Utah is one of the 11 cities slated to host next year's games.

Postponed - I don't think so, because venues can always be changed. But it does raise the question of how are security going to keep all those visitors safe, if lunatics with guns or knives can just cause chaos like that criminal in the subway.

We're yet to know the truth dear, the shooter is yet to be caught and reveal information that would tell if it involves politics or some secret enemy of he's or a group that doesn't share same faith with him and want him erased. Anyways, talking about politics there's a saying by people in my country that "politics is a dirty game" that's why I barely involves myself with it.

 I think the person who shot him was an expert, probably a hired assassin or so cause that was a direct shot to a deadly area of his body and even if he had survived, it would've caused lots of damage to that part of his body. I wonder why anyone would want to take someone's life cause they don't agree to the person's opinion, that's evil and I hope Charlie Kirk rests peacefully.
