In reply to the discussion: Gunman in Charlie Kirk killing still at large after FBI says first suspect released from custody [View all]James48
(4,932 posts)20. Why the suspect is not identified.
My money is on it being a Right-winger with some bizarre motive. Maybe a personal issue- or jilted husband of a lover. Something really weird and unexpected like that.
If it was a lefty, Patel would have said so.
I think Patel is hiding the shooters identity because didnt suit their cause.

Absolutely...shot him from 600 feet away. No way it was the guy the police had down early on.

I really hope the shooter is not trans, out of fear of a crackdown or violence against trans people.

For a whole host of reasons, I will be shocked if the actual shooter is taken in alive

I think it's pretty likely the person has trained with a sniper rifle, possibly military

...or the shooter planned more thoroughly than someone who was mentally ill or violently aggrieved.

That's a great example of Kirk pushing conspiratorial, anti-government, false propoganda about the country

Simpler answer to your questions is that Patel is so clueless he is not in communication w FBI agent on the scene. . .nt

The shooter probably thought Charlie wasn't loyal enough to MAGA, Q-anon or whatever crazy shit they've come up with..

Please update your headline, like you did with your "Kirk shot" headline. He was RELEASED.

Their concentration on this individual gave the perpetrator more time to get away.
