BREAKING UPDATE: Charlie Kirk shot at Utah Valley University event, suspect in custody

I agree that a random battery explosion at the same time as the gunshot is extremely unlikely.

The scenario of the bullet hit the battery is more plausible, but it still leaves a question about what happened to the bullet. The hunting rifle can bring down an elk with a single shot. The bullet should have gone through the battery and into Kirk’s chest, but there is no evidence of the resulting chest wound.

The point is that explosion in or near the battery would almost certainly not be a coincidence. Instead, it implies that someone placed a small amount of high explosive into the battery and provided a means for remote detonation. The apparent hand signals could have provided the timing so that the gunshot and the explosion coincided. Here is a screen shot from the video showing the battery:

This scenario implies that the gunshot was just a diversion. The sound of the gunshot could have come from a blank, or else the bullet flew high above the buildings and may never be recovered.

If this scenario sounds far-fetched, consider the exploding pager story from a year ago. The Israeli government is hardly the only entity with the technology.

The gift “symbolizes the Prime Minister’s decision that led to a turning point in the war and the starting point for breaking the will of the terrorist organization Hezbollah,” Netanyahu’s office said.

The operation “expresses the power, technological superiority and cunning of Israel against its enemies,” according to the PMO.

How does that theory account for the bullet in his body?

Occam’s razor. The simplest answer is probably the correct one. He was shot by a single round of 30-06 fired from atop a building 142 yards away and the bullet somehow deflected downward in his neck and buried itself under the skin. Without a detailed coroner’s report to say otherwise, everything else is pure speculation.

He absolutely won the popular vote, but he didn’t win over 50 percent of the vote.

won, but did not get the majority of the vote.

hasnt happened since 2004 for the republicans.

Selective memory.

Meaningless stat

Yes, he did.

trump got a plurality (less than 50) not a majority (50+1)

a republican candidate hasnt gotten a majority since 2004.

Allan

meaning obvious to someone who wants to claim a majority.

trump NEVER recieved a majority of the votes in his 3 runs for office. unlike say biden or obama.

to state trump did is false and misleading.

Allan

Trump got the majority of the popular vote. I know your claim and it’s stupid.

Which one is the majority?

Dude 49.9 was the number we’re splitting hairs here. No Republican will break 50 because of California but the Democrats insistence on more illegal immigration they might break 50% who knows

none of the above.

majority requires 50 +1

from google AI.

“In politics and elections, it signifies the winning number of votes, which is typically more than 50% of the total votes cast”

Good googlymook!

None of them. The most does not mean the majority. Having a majority means a number greater than half of the total.

The only fundamental errors here are from those who fundamentally miss reality as a whole.

Kirk’s shooter is a leftist lgbtq+ whackjob
The ICE shooter is a leftist anti-ice whackjob
Shooter in MN was a socially conservative anti abortion whackjob
Shooter in NC was mentally disturbed brain trauma patient
Shooter in MI is, as of now, politically ambiguous beyond possible religious bigotry.
Butler Shooter seems a politically ambiguous glory hound

ETA, this seems to be who they were, and does not get into why they chose the specific targets they did
