The person who was taken into custody in connection with the shooting of Charlie Kirk has been released

The person who was taken into custody in connection with the shooting of Charlie Kirk has been released after being interrogated by investigators, according to Kash Patel, the F.B.I. director. “Our investigation continues,” he said on social media.

Which one? The first man with the balding head and gray hair or the second one Patel just said they'd captured? I'm so confused! Any one know?

I'm screwed on the cost of my meds not covered by insurance, but I'm not letting that slow me down! I'm planning for a shorter retirement now anyway. lol!

As to the FBI involvement, it's an all in the family thing I'm guessing. The bros are looking out for each other, but if I were one of them I'd be peeing my pants right about now. This level of incompetence and failure is not normal.

Ovarian stage 3C which means it spread throughout my abdomen before it was diagnosed. Because, ya know, it was all just menopause symptoms per my doc's. And it just kept growing while they treated me for UTI's I never had and ignored my acities belly. "Weight gain is normal after 50!" They said. I gained 20+ pounds in 2 months while I couldn't eat due to the fluid pressing on my organs. I may write a book about that for other ladies so they don't endure such treatment, too. 😡

They gutted me like a fish and removed 8 organs, none of which are vital for my survival. I did 6 rounds of platinum based chemo before my debulking surgery and another 6 after. I often get the amount of chemo wrong since they were every 3 weeks and not once a month. My poor brain was just total toast back then. Chemo brain is a real thing!

Anywho, even with the ludicrously expensive meds which are buying me real time, I know my life expectancy is shortened. Not the 5 years if I'm lucky it would have been before these amazing (and stupidly over priced!!) meds, but not like a woman not in my boat. They're saying I could make it to 10 years (which is when I qualify for my SS funnily) so I'm shooting for 15! That's just how I roll. lol!

wasn't the case. , Cat.

But since it is.. I Admire and respect Your eternal optimism.

I'm so Sorry you had/have to go through all that horrific pain. And, Sad the Doctors didn't catch it earlier because they Kept Misdiagnosing It.

And, you're still working!! Brava!

Don't be sad for me, ever. I'm still alive and where there's life there's hope. I'm ok, really.

I'm just on Avastin and Lynparza now so my brain is slowly coming back. I can't tell you how much I missed my "snap". That's why I didn't post here. I wasn't me. I'm still not me 100% but I'm at least a decent facsimile of my old self again. 😉

I'm not my disease. I'm still just me with a side of cancer to manage.

"sad" about you just those Stupid Doctors' misdiagnosis.

So right.. you're Not your disease and I'm happy for you and your Attitude.. and getting back to your Full Spark and Snap!

It does take awhile.. I'm experiencing getting back my good health and it's a long process but worth every minute of patience.

Yes You Are!

Be VERY suspicious of their attempts to "capture" and "prosecute" anyone for this.

I have a feeling that the real shooter is better at covering their tracks than the current FBI is capable of handling.

I feel the person they just had arrested, and subsequently had to let go, was someone who fit their mold, but had a solid alibi and they had to release them.

I, of course, my be wrong but it feels like a real possibility.
