I don’t want to yuck your yums, since it’s sort of a subjective call, but I wouldn’t necessarily call 200 meters a “long distance” shot. It’s not close range, but hitting a mostly stationary human sized target at that distance is, if not “easy”, certainly achievable with a minimal amount of firearms experience. I think this holds true even without the assistance of scopes or other optics. For reference, basic rifle marksmanship qualification for the armed forces has you taking on targets out to 300 meters with iron sights, and, despite never firing a weapon prior to basic training, I was able to consistently hit the 200 meter targets (though beyond that range was a coin flip)
Furthermore, calling the weapon a high-powered rifle is, to some extent, redundant. Again, it’s subjective, but pretty much any firearm which fires rifle caliber ammunition is going to be by default “high-powered”, unless it’s .22LR. That’s the only rifle cartridge I can think of that is commonly available that would not qualify as “high-powered” by a reasonable definition.
The only reason I bring up this little bit of pedantry is because, as you mentioned in your post, calling it a “long distance shot with a high powered rifle” leads the listener towards certain conclusions that are not well-founded at this juncture. It’s not inaccurate or untruthful, but I do think it leaves out relevant context.
What guy did I miss a clip. I wasn’t even paying attention to the audience. Plus the video is short that I saw.
Ever see fhat Nicholas Cage movie Snake Eyes? They had someone that did something similar.
I’m not that surprised the shooter hasn’t been caught yet. the only things known at this point are that they wore dark clothing and were possibly college-aged? And the building the shot was fired from.
The shooter started 200 yds from the victim, so it’s not like they had to escape through a panicked crowd or anything. If there weren’t any cops nearby and the shooter used a bit of planning and common-sense opsec (e.g. didn’t carry a smart-phone, didn’t share plans with anyone else) it’s feasible to imagine them quickly ditching the gun nearby, maybe getting into a car and driving off. At that point they’ve blended in, unless/until further evidence is uncovered.
Two things one he setup his on assassination attempt so yes I see him doing this one. Two if we dig deep enough might find evidence that Kirk at some point criticized Trump, maybe even about the Epstein files. Which would be enough for Trump to decide to use Kirk as his martyr.
Like I heard Trump announced his death using an AI video only moments after the shot. Since those things take at least some amount of time to setup means they had it ready to go before the shot.
Might look into who setup this event for Kirk to be outdoors. And even the topic he was discussing at the time of his death was gun violence. It’s almost like Karma or density. Which is just to close to getting what he deserved.
At the same time his death is about to set off a mass unrest with all the targets being left wing commentary YouTubers and Tik Tok. You name it. Us on the left are about to have very bad time. And the president of United States will be leading the charge. Gives
Trump more fuel to attack blue states. Also he needs to rig the midterms. Any excuse to make our votes against him and his illegitimate.
Clocks ticking we are getting closer to civil war…what will be the thing that historians will point to as the catalyst that set it off. Hopefully not this fucker death but I don’t know something will.
I don’t bite to the conspiracy theory that he setup his own assassination attempt either. The bullet was real and very close. He wouldn’t gamble with his life.
Oh Kirk wasn’t in on this. But a better explanation is with the new photos of the supposed killer. They look a lot like the guy who supposedly shot that healthcare CEO.
What if it is the same guy? We all know Luigi is innocent, so that means that killer been free all this time. Could be.
So we all know the shooter is going to be maga, right?
Conspiracy is that Trump had him killed so he can ramp up his military dictatorship.
Also they say that the video of Trump is AI amd was posted before it was even announced Kirk was dead.
The the fact high-powered rifle at long distance. Yeah I can almost buy into it.

That’s not that amazing, plenty of people hunt or target shoot and get good. The suspect part to me is the shooter escaping
I agree, any hunter could have made that shot. What’s suspect to me is the dude standing there doing basebaII signaIs right before the shot.

If it were a conspiracy they would have had a “leftist” patsy lined-up.
Did the patsy change their mind about being caught?
Don’t know, sure they will have a scapegoat soon. If the bullet cases they found have what say written on them. Then I will know 100% a setup.
I don’t buy it. It is extremely risky, and, frankly, he doesn’t need that to execute his dictatorship plans.
Plus the likes of that piece of shit are part of his propaganda machine.
Right. About as thin as the “Elon and Donald’s falling-out is some 5d chess” conspiracy theories.
Occam’s razor.

Honestly, I very much WOULD like there to be a real-world Punisher doing good works.
