I just want to point out some things since everyone is assuming it was a leftist shooter:
No one knows who the shooter actually is.
Most leftist reactions I’ve seen to Kirk have been to laugh at his stupidity, not get murderously angry at him.
No political message has appeared yet, like the one Luigi put on the bullets he used. Which if you’re a leftist shooter, come on you gotta at least do that homage.
The shooter killed him with one shot from a distance and got out without being caught.
I’ve never met a leftist who knows how to shoot a gun, nevermind one with that level of skill. If it was a leftist, I’m surprised they couldn’t catch them by now by simply arresting the one leftist who knows how to shoot at long distance.
There are many leftists who a) own guns, and b) can hit a 200yd man sized target.
Its a good shot, and a hard shot, but its not an unusually skilled shot. Many hunters take 200, 300, even 500 yd shots, usually to the boiler room, but neck shots are somewhat commonly done too.
In reply to #5. You must not know many leftists then, I don’t know a single leftist who doesn’t know how to shoot a gun. I know several who do not own them, but that’s because they’ve prioritized their own harm reduction. I know multiple who engage in shooting sports such as long range, three gun, etc.
Whats hilarious is that they say it was “radical left” people every time, and yet ultimately it always trickles out later that the person who did it was either politically conservative, or just generally a nut. To my knowledge no one has actually ever shot anyone because they held progressive or liberal beliefs.
The guy who “shot” Trump, accused liberal but verified conservative. The guy who hid at Trumps golf course trying to do the same? Verified conservative. The trans highschool shooter from a couple weeks ago? Accused liberal, but was actually just a straight up nazi glorifier. Like id give it better odds that the person who shot Kirk was a conservative who was mad about the Epstein files, just like the kid who tried to assassinate Trump was. Id say its also not far fetched that Kirk was a sacrificial lamb executed by his own party in order to secure the young conservative vote by generating a martyr. Its at least way more likely than someone with progressive and humanistic beliefs shooting him, considering assassinations and humanism dont exactly go hand in hand. Not to mention its suspicious as fuck that he was shot from a crowd and they somehow didnt catch the shooter…
Being realistic the person shooting probably did disagree with his politics but until the shooter is caught we have no idea what the motives were. And there are other credible possibilities - a political / financial / personal rival, an opportunist / fantasist, a hit, or even a false flag. For all anyone knows he fucked the wrong dude’s wife. When the perp is caught we’ll find out.
Okay, all reasonable but number 5, that’s dumb, humans pick their hobbies more or less at random. Fuck it could be a teenage Mormon missionary with a gun fetish for all we know.
All I’m saying is if my sweet old southern grandma didnt pull me aside one day and show me her fucking sword collection I would be a different man

AFAIK evidence linking Luigi to the murder of the health insurance parasite is pretty thin.
You know who has lots of people who can shoot well at long distances?
The government.
This is a very stupid list, speaking as a leftist.
