Since I took this photo at the unite the kingdom march yesterday, it’s taken on a bit of a life of its own. Many large accounts just stole it and used without credit which is always a terrible thing to do. A credit costs nothing and makes a big difference to me as a photographer. Thanks to my many followers who called them out. Really appreciate that. People have also asked grok to see if it’s ai. Apparently grok said it was. Well grok, it isn’t. It’s exactly as it appeared. Really love that you all liked my photo. Thank you so much once again for all your lovely messages.
I need to hear more details before I comment extensively on
the assassination of Charlie Kirk, except to express my heart-felt condolences to his family and my personal sense of sadness and loss. That said, please know that you do not need to be a "professional hit man" or a "highly trained sniper" to hit a man-size target from 200 yards. Give me anyone with normal eyesight and hand-eye coordination and I'll have them shooting 3" groups in a couple hours with a bolt-action Mauser in .30-06 with a decent optic from 200 yards.
And by the way, no "highly trained sniper" aims at the neck of an unarmored target. They aim center mass of torso or head, depending on proximity and target position. That tells me this guy missed his intended target zone and sadly got lucky when the bullet caught Charlie's carotid artery and/or jugular vein. That's not a "highly trained sniper" shooting prone from 200 yards with a competent scoped bolt-action rifle.

When “big” men go we are sad, until we see that they are meant to go; the one thing that remains is looking in the face of God for ourselves. -My Utmost for His Highest 3/3
A servant of God must stand so much alone that he never knows he is alone. In the first phases of Christian life disheartenments come, people who used to be lights flicker out, and those who used to stand with us pass away. 1/2
We have to get so used to it that we never know we are standing alone. “All men forsook me:…notwithstanding the Lord stood with me” (2 Tim. 4:16-17). We must build our faith, not on the fading light, but on the light that never fails. 2/3
One of my non-religious friends is struggling with Charlie’s death. He’s talked more about faith in the last few days. Idk if he’ll find God, but I pray he does.
Dombkowski dominated tonight. 🔥
The southpaw's 11 strikeouts set a new career high and are the most by an Indians pitcher since Mike Burrows on May 11 vs. Columbus (11).
