    Also, there’s video right after the shot where a guy about twenty feet from the front gets up and starts chanting “USA! USA!”

    It could be anyone, I guess. They released a
    photo of a person of interest and it looked like Ryan Holiday to me. The emblem on the shirt is one for Disabled American veterans. I wonder if this person had a continued plan to get away as fast as they did at the campus, or if they’ll leave a trail like a caterpillar— like Luigi did.

    Honestly, it’s not that different than deer hunting, once you get past the “person” part of it.

    Moving targets and huge adrenaline dumps are par for the course, and becomes somewhat normalized after a while.

    What if I told you that there are things you can take to quell those effects without affecting your aim?

    Based on what little info I've seen online, I would guess the shooter was aiming center mass.

    When shooting downhill you will strike your target high if you don't account for the drop in elevation. At 200yrs, with the elevation drop from the roof to where he was sitting, that would roughly equate hitting the neck when aiming at center mass.

    That shit those guys took in the North Hollywood shootout, what was it called— phenobarbital barbiturates. Basically turning your brain into real-life Doom Guy.

    They did release the picture of the person of interest, so be careful out there if you look like a skinny college kid or Lou Diamond Phillips.

    You know more than I would. People were saying center mass or head, I just assumed there’d be drop.

    Dude had to be on an adrenaline high all night though, seeing the news.

    If anybody wants a chuckle, it's worth a quick look over at r/music and the 'random' assortment of music videos that have been posted in the past 24 hours.

    Damn scary articles Aetius. So according to Vice President Vance, Kirk is responsible for the idiots running our Federal Government.

    On a similar note, y'all should check out r/toiletpaperusa ( a subreddit I am permabanned from*, by the way).
    Regular viewers of that page speculated that it would be taken down after Kirk's, uh, unfortunate demise, but that hasn't been the case so far.


    *Charlie Kirk was/ is literally their mascot.
    Also, I was banned for saying mean things about Marjorie Taylor Greene.

    EDIT: r/simpsonsshitposting has some pure gold right now, if you get the references.

    So Trump is posting memes of Chicago in flames while helicopters strafe the city overhead. I’m sorry…. Explain to me what was wrong about wishing for him to be dead?

    I hope every single citizen in Chicago starts publicly calling for his deserved death. They fucking SHOULD be, with him threatening to bomb his own city like he’s the fucking Philadelphia police.

    And no, don’t hold back on Charlie Kirk. He was a scumbag asshole, and you don’t have to praise him just because he’s now a dead one. He promoted hating people and creating division and he was a fucking die hard Trump supporter— fuck him entirely. If he was alive he’d still be one of the biggest pieces of shit in media and you know it.

    It’s been 48 hours, Conservatives had a chance to react to it classy and the entire lot of them are acting like the biggest crybaby tinfoil-hat-wearing pieces of shit in the entire world— just like they always do now. So, I now hope the shooter gets away with it so these worthless wastes of space continue to choke on their own cocks and eventually eat each other.

    Is the civil war cancelled now that they know he’s one of their own?

    I mean, they breathlessly called for open violence against anything left-wing before his giant head hit the pavement. I sense there will be a tone change now.

    Where do you get this idea from? Sure, his father is a life-long LEO, but I've yet to see how the son was otherwise connected to conservative ideologies. He didn't vote for trump. He isn't a registered republican. He was critical of Charlie Kirk in conversation. Are you speculating, or have you seen something I haven't? Other than the pic of his father wearing conservative t-shirts?

    The phrases the FBI said were carved onto his bullet casings. They very strongly suggest he was a terminally online shitposter, and a likely groyper.

    That's what groyper means. It's Fuentes' little army.
