Good information John. And the shooter is usually on anti-depressants which main side-effects are homicide and suicide.

You'd think we'd hear. BUT, this may be different, since he really wasn't shooting at the kids and teachers at a school he'd attended. This may have been more something tied in with "political" groups, so SSRIs may not matter. This could be very interesting to know--whether kids on SSRI's tend to stick to school/past events/past places that they relate to experiencing as youth.

“You'd think we'd hear.”

I’m reading it as an assumption, at best, regarding: “You'd think we'd hear.” .

My reply: In a perfect world, yes; in the imperfect world, ‘not so fast!’

This whole incident has more holes than the Swiss cheese in my fridge.

SSRIs? Nasty stuff. Consider (you might already be at this point), the person on an SSRI loses contact with reality, instead living in an altered reality.

During the journey, the person (patient) loses the ability to either distinguish or differentiate the actions of the drug vs the world where they live. Reality testing goes out the window.

Side effects include thoughts of homicide/suicide. Thoughts progress to action…the patient(s) loses the ability to perceive what is occurring in their thought process. This opens more doorways to aberrant behaviour.

Is all this harboring potential violent behaviour? IMO yes, and the person (patient) in the altered mental status induced by the SSRI cannot take the appropriate measures to reverse the process.

Why are kids on SSRIs?

This is a basic question.

The main side affects of anti depressants are not homicide and suicide. Some medications will strengthen homicidal and suicidal urges, but it's case by case. The medicine that helps one person can hurt another.

Isolated Video Loop Of Brown Shirt Man Firing

Palm Pistol At Charlie Kirk - Any Doubts Now?

Part 2:

Sequence Of Events...

1. The Brown Shirt Man Is Just Casually Standing Behind The Barrier In Front Of Charlie...With His Left Arm Straight Out And Laying On The Top Horizontal Bar Of The People Barrier. He Is Watching Charlie And Not The Crowd Behind. A Security Team Member Would never Turn His Back To The People Behind Him Which He Is Supposed To Be Surveilling. He Is Partially Turned To His Right And Is Not Facing Charlie Straight On. This Is To Better Cover What Is About To Happen.

2. The Brown Shirt Killer Then Brings His Right Hand Forward With The Palm Pistol In Position. He Moves His Hand To Below And In Front Of His Left Shoulder And Just Behind His Bicep.

3. The Tiny Barrel Is Just Barely Visible In A Shadow Between His Two Middle Fingers. You Can See The Opening.

4. He Quickly Aims And Fires The Deadly Round Without Any Hesitation. He Is Actually SMILING While He Kills Charlie.

5. Immediately After The Shot, He Pulls His Right Hand Down And Back From His Firing Position...And Just Puts The Little Gun Back In His Right Side Pocket.

6. In One Fluid Move, He Brings His Now Empty Right Hand Forward And Places It On The Top Of The Barrier. Then, With Both Hands, He Vaults Right Over The Barrier To ‘Help' Carry Charlie To The SUV Out Back. This Assures The Brown Shirt Man’s Escape In The SUV...Which Also Permits Him To Search For The Bullet.

7. Remember, There Is No Paramedic EMT Ambulance On Site. That Alone Is One Of Many Outrageous Parts Of The Sophisticated, Brutal Plot To Kill Charlie Kirk.

pretty-red, old guy's avatar

my impression is the guy is pulling up his right hand and adjusting his shirt.

What you believe is a barrel sticking out is simply his middle finger / knuckle bent away from those surrounding it.

I see no evidence he had a strap around that hand to secure the "palm gun".

Have you ever shot a hand gun? Very hard to hit the side of a barn door with one that has enough fire power to blowup someone's neck-- 357 or 40.

Finally, if you look at the angle of his arm it points way off to the right side of Charlie Kirk. Any ability to hold the gun close to the palm would result in a bullet aiming in that direction, no where near CK.

I saw zero reaction to a possible handgun recoil in the guys hand and forearm.

I find it very hard to believe a palm-sized hand gun would have the power to blow apart someone's neck and kill.

I saw zero reaction to bystanders being surprised by the palm handgun firing noise. (Even a 22 long rifle makes a lot of noise and anyone standing near him would have jumped.)

I saw zero exhaust gases coming from his right hand fingers.

He moved his hand fluidly up to adjust his shirt and back down in one continuous motion without stopping to aim and fire.

Last but not least: I heard only an odd squish sound upon apparent impact but no high powered rifle sound. A 30-06 is VERY loud. I don't want to watch that horrible video one more time to hear it if it IS there.

Don't know but I did NOT see any blood exiting from the white shirt.

Also, it appears his head bows forward indicating the force came from the FRONT. No shot from the side explains this.

That is the pasty furry psy-ops smokescreen. Remember his neighbors reported out of state cars at Tyler's house. My theory is one of the intelligent agents handed him rifle cartridges and told him they were advanced bullets and to use them. The bullets were actually a high tech blanks.

So Tyler actually fired his rifle and actually believes he is the one who shot Mr. Kirk when it was really the professional a few feet away from Mr. Kirk. Tyler has been tricked into thinking he killed Mr. Kirk and will confess. Case closed. The plan was put together by the intelligence agency and AI.

Jeff Reese came up with the answer. I always thought the big guy in front did not match your normal student population when I saw early videos on the first day.

FBI says the gun retrieved was a "Mauser 98 30-06 bolt action rifle" found in woods wrapped in a blanket. Image released to the media is of a Remington 700 with a synthetic stock—NOT a Mauser.

Private Jet That Took Off From Utah After Charlie Kirk Assassination Disappears Mid-Flight Sparking Suspicion

"Initially, X (Twitter) users expressed concern about the continued function of Provo Airport, which is a 15-minute drive away from the UVU campus, as the shooter could potentially use it to escape.

One of them, @stellarman22 wrote "A private jet under the tail number N888KG left Provo Airport an hour after the shooting... Suspiciously 30 mins into the flight it drops off of ADS-B illegally and reappears headed back to Provo approx. an hour later... Why did this plane turn off its radar? Where is the shooter?"

In Utah, the arrest of George Zinn, identified as an Ashkenazi Jew, ignites discussion due to the state's minuscule Jewish population.

Arrest Overview;

Authorities arrested Zinn following an incident where he allegedly screamed at police, urging them to arrest him for his involvement in a shooting that occurred during a Charlie Kirk event. His behavior raised eyebrows across the community.

Comments from forums highlight a mix of disbelief and suspicion surrounding Zinn's actions. One person noted, "His craziness helped the shooter get away," questioning Zinn's intentions. Another mentioned his history of political agitation, further complicating the narrative.

It's unfortunate that the former battlefield surgeon did not comment on the blood volume, color, and lack of pulsatile action, and the lack of blood behind him and on the way to carrying him to the vehicle. Perhaps you could follow up with these questions?

Expand full comment
wkenn's avatar

The one video I saw did appear to have pulsatile action, along with significant volume.

Color: what I saw in the video was too dark for an oxygenated arterial bleed.

It could be the lighting, or not.

I've looked at a number of stills photographed after the event, no evidence of exit wound pattern on the apparently white tent.

The video I saw of the carry to the vehicle was too short to form an opinion, except this was the likely the best choice though futile as the time from such an open wound to surgery is 3 minutes maximum per a study (approximately 150 cases included) from Ben Taub Hospital in ?? late 1980's early 1990's)

The decorticate posturing noted is evident in the video I saw.

However, a lingering question I have is, in the fraction of a second immediately as the projectile impacts, was there cognition and the initial movement was spontaneous reaction? Without a citation handy, the period of cognition following guillotine (as during the French Revolution) was estimated to be as long as 7 seconds.

There are more questions than answers.

I extend a 'thank you' to John Leake for initiating this avenue of inquiry.

Timeline of an assassin?

• Assassin runs across roof in full view, but where is their video footage of his arrival on said roof and assembling his weapon on a roof in full view?

• Runs and leaves roof carrying a WW 2 type Mauser bolt action rifle in a bag barely big enough for an assault rifle?

• Drops down 12 feet off roof onto grass, picks up bag and runs away towards open space.

• At some early stage, sticks the 36+ inch 5 kg rifle down his pants, causing a marked limp as he walks towards the compound?

• Later on he leaves the rifle he seemed keen to keep, and leaves it in a wooded area, fully assembled and empty case in breach?

• He is picked up up on CCTV cameras that can identify his shoes, T shirt and cap but not his face?

• All this with a none collapsing WW 2 weapon weighing near to 5 kg, that would take several minutes to assemble?

• After days police find a screwdriver used in the assembly of rifle in full view of the video camera?

• The disassembly and assembly of the rifle and scope would have significantly affected accuracy, NO DOUBT?

• They have video and photos of the firing position and indents in gravel, but none of the actual shot?

• Many expert commentators point out the Minutes Of Angle in the official reports do not match other ballistic evidence or what appears to be an EXIT wound on the left side of his neck?

• One camera catches what could be a muzzle flash from a window behind and to Charlie's right side?

• At least two clothing changes on route?

• I don't think this young man will see the inside of a court room, much like Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby and Epstein??

he jumped off the roof holding his backpack only and with left hand holding on to roof to control his fall. I saw no 10# gun, nor did he have one as he walked away. . . How did the rifle arrive in the woods in a blankie?!

Without the REAL medical examiners analysis and expert ballistic testimony we will never know. Gotta' know the route through and where it entered. Need to see blood splatter images. How about GSR on the roof gravel? GSR on lots of stuff? Is the barrel even dirty? Where did he test fire this and learn to assemble and disassemble quickly enough? TIme line for the whole scene?

muzzle flash? who knows. . . it could be anything on a digital image.

Who was panning the CCTV cameras as he continued his escape up the road?

1. you can see stock silhouette briefly when he climbs off roof.

2. he picks up his pack first then bends to pick up rifle after he hits the ground.

3. you would not use screwdriver to set up scope. You would use kentucky windage.

4. if you take receiver off stock, trigger group parts will stay put w/ tape or no tape if fit is tight

5. he practiced (fbi report targets found). may have checked zero pulling off scope and then reassembly. Also with bolt action, easy to boresight to get on target by removing bolt and looking through barrel. Use crap in bag to steady. That method would give u ~ 5 inches low at that range.

6. wanted to get rifle since it was his grandpa's, his dad gave it to him. Dad recognized rifle then realized it was his kid (per FBI)

7. Scope is way too rearward for 'pro' setup. But it can be done. Use right hand for fire control, left hand on rear of stock to control recoil and also effect elevation. Front end of rifle on backpack.

At least you spoke to an expert. The internet was deluged with people who claimed this shot required a “trained sniper”. People who have never even seen a rifle let alone fired one. A shot from that range from a prone position is one my 12 year old daughter makes with ease. Anyone can learn to hit a 4” target from 200 yards with a scoped rifle that’s correctly zeroed. A few hours of YouTube videos and a few hours at a range is plenty.
