Mr Gunsgear takes us through the specific round used. Being brand new in appearance, the round was either a Core-Lokt 150 or 180 gr. Either way, those rounds easily penetrate 6-8" of soft tissue. Easily...as our testing showed repeatedly.
I'm still open to the idea of TR having takent he shot, just not from the Losee building where that black-clad figure lay down and jumped off. From that perch, this particular round is a through and through every single time.
For this particular round to have remained in Kirk's body, it would have HAD to be coming in from a far steeper angle and from at least 25-30 degrees from CK's left.
To be fair, most assassinations don’t occur in broad daylight on college campuses outfitted with 1,000+ high resolution security cameras with thousands of students walking around.
I’d argue it’s also “rare” or improbable for a complete amateur lone-wolf shooter with no relevant experience (as the story goes) to miraculously find the perfect rooftop that apparently was: 1) hidden from all security cameras, 2) wasn’t being monitored by Charlie’s security, local police or campus police, 3) wasn’t locked and was publicly accessible, and 4) provided a clear shot of Charlie Kirk 140 yards away while he was sitting under a temporary structure (tent) that was erected just prior to his speaking event taking place on a campus that the alleged shooter didn’t attend or live remotely close to (among many, many other oddities).
It’s also “rare” for body camera batteries to die less than 2 hours into a police officer’s shift just as he makes his way onto the roof of Losee building, but here we are.
Maybe we’ll get more definitive footage later on, but we’ll have to wait and see.
It’s certainly possible that the rifle shot (if one occurred) wasn’t caught on camera, but the corroborating evidence would need to be compelling. So far it hasn’t been in the manner provided (ie. Photos of a purported text conversation on Lance Twiggs’ phone, to name an example).
Again, we may see some of this later at trial (metadata, timestamps, cell carrier logs, etc.), but we haven’t so far, which is why people remain reasonably skeptical.
Finally, as Robert and others well know, if this was part of a broader military operation or conspiracy, you would expect a potential patsy (in this case Tyler Robinson) to have some connection to the evidence. After all, for the public or a jury to believe a patsy committed the crime, it has to be believable. He may also very well be involved to some degree (minimal or large), but that doesn’t mean he acted alone or committed the murder. Nearly everyone on all sides believe he was involved in some way, but the skeptics don’t believe he acted alone or necessarily pulled the trigger (per se), which is not a “crazy” or “insane” belief by any stretch of the imagination.
The idea that a pregnant woman from Guatemala can sprint across the US border, have the baby 30 minutes after arriving here, and the baby is magically a citizen of the US, is one of the most retarded and indefensible notions ever conceived
