I didn’t insinuate anything of the sort. My post was about the likely motives of the shooter; it had nothing to do with what we should do about it.

I was agreeing with a poster who thought the motive might be to trigger right wing violence.

Many of the YouTube shorts I have seen featured unhinged professors being given time at the microphone. These bastions of academia with employees willing to publicly scream frick you at Charlie Kirk are not in short supply.

Most days you probably could. But not when both Kirk's security and campus police are on heightened alert for a political event. Not a chance you could walk around without your guitar case being searched multiple times. I think it's very likely that the gun was in place before the shooter arrived. But someone is on tape with a parcel capable of holding a rifle. Even a disassembled rifle is somewhat bulky.

Again, this wasn't the President visiting. Kirk had some security, but this wasn't the SS Sweeping the location for days prior or anything.

Have you seen the arial shot of the campus? There would have been exactly zero ambiguity about where he would speak from.


There are numerous configurations for the event setup that would eliminate that roof as a sniper location. My guess is that the tent Kirk was under was a piece of his security setup as it narrows the sightlines. Kirk was sitting in the back of the tent, not up front, this is likely for that purpose as well.

That tent location was likely setup that morning as it is a simple popup. Yes, that roof was the only possible location for how Kirk was positioned. I will go further and predict the shooter did not have a full view of Kirk and he estimated his head based on what limited view he had under the tent.

But I guarantee you that if you were walking around the area with a guitar case you would have been asked to open it.

Wasn't thins building a distance away?

I have no doubt there may have been searches if you approached the stage area, but where the gun was fired seems to be outside of an area of concern, where normal students would be going to class.

It can't be a huge campus. Campus police out in full force with Reserve Deputies. They absolute knew there was a chance of violence. Probably looking for riots more than snipers but a guitar case could hold all sorts of nastiness aside from a rifle

These types all seem to think they are mentally superior, so I would assume they’d want the opportunity to show how smart they are and out debate as opposed to violence, unless it was one who had previously attempted to debate and was unsuccessful.

I saw... the left has really tuned these trantifa dinks into believing their cause is righteous and that by any means necessary is a requirement. Damn them all.

Hindsight here. Future speakers at outdoor events should deploys drones to check potential sniper locations like rooftops. This would have been pretty easy and cheap for Kirks event. Of course they had no reason to suspect a rooftop sniper before the event, but going forward it should be a standard security precaution.

You didn't answer the question.

Have you seen the arial shot of that part of the campus?

It would have been completely obvious exactly what the set up would have been. Otherwise he would have been set up on the side of a hill somewhere.

And he sets up—from what I can see—pretty much the same way every time with the tent, so watching a few videos would have given the shooter all he needed to determine whether or not he could have seen under the tent well enough to make the shot.

I don't think you're going to see outdoor speakers anymore. Not for a while, anyway.

This is twice. Once with Trump and now with Kirk. Nobody will want to represent strike three.

No, bringing that up is by extension insinuating that we should just continue to do nothing at all. Otherwise, there’s no point at all in even stating that

I did not insinuate that, nor do i believe that. You mistakenly inferred it.
