I think the old fart is in on it. Wasn't it reported that he was yelling "I did it. I did it."

This made the law enforcement converge on him, while the real shooter has time to get away.

If so, they will find that he is part of the murder, IMO.

The fact that the question had just been asked about trans shooters when he was murdered seems sketchy as hell. No way it is a coincidence.

This was orchestrated I bet.

Quite possibly an intentional distraction for the shooter with plausible deniability

My initial reaction is likely aimed at head and didn’t account bullet drop. I don’t know many “professionals” that would aim for the neck over head or center mass.

Getting out immediately with no trace is what makes it a pro hit

We’ve been blessed that people inclined to do this sort of thing typically are unbalanced, unstable and lack the planning or training to do something like this effectively.

The reality is pulling a trigger on a soft target like that in a crowded area is neither particularly hard nor does it require professional training.

An average deer hunter out west could come up with something like this without months of planning.

Could it be a pro? Yes.

Globalists are actively killing AfD party members.

Is there evidence yet to support that? No.

A lot more goes into this assessment than the scoped shot.

Good point. And also flee the scene undetected.

This wasn't a novice.

While not trying specifically to disagree with Solomon, he does realize it happened in Utah correct?

The number of people there who can make a 1000 yard shot is about as common as it is in Wyoming.

Long range shooting is very popular there and there is a mind numbing amount of ranges that cater to it. Even one indoor (best range I have ever been to hands down).

200 yds. Minimal obstruction, elevated position....throw on an even halfway decent scope, you wouldn't have to be a marksman with military training to hit the target....plus in this case the target was stationary. I'm guessing windage was minimal?

Pro Hit - Not downplaying it but any experienced hunter could make that shot from 200
Yards.

I wonder if he was there to tie up law enforcement


Of course he was. Which is why he started immediately with "I have the right to remain silent..."

They will take his phone, emails, and all of his social media to find who he has been communicating with over the past 2 to 3 years.

This isn’t against a USSS security detail.

This is a 30 year old on a college quad with a couple hired security guys.

Crazy amount of preplanning involved to pull this off.


Not really, they said there was almost no security and its an open campus...

Think its curious that the shot came at the exact moment and 30m in that he was asked about Trans Shooters.

Its not like he was the President or even a governor. It was generally speaking most likely just a normal day day at the University as far as security goes.

Its not that difficult to get to the top of a building for a couple of minutes

Probably was since he “confessed” right after it happened. Distraction for the real shooter to get away.
