On Sep 20, TPUSA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet posted a statement on twitter that Charlie Kirk was a “man of steel” and stopped the bullet from reaching other people.

A lot of gun-youtubers reacted by saying that the bullet found with the gun is too big to match the wounds inflicted.

On Sep 21, Alex Jones said that he spoke to Andrew Kolvet and Charlie Kirk’s surgeon. The surgeon allegedly told Alex Jones that the bullet traveled downwards into the torso after hitting Kirk.

Today, Alex Jones has a former-Green-Beret gun-youtuber on his show to say that the bullets are too big and that there must have been a second shooter.

    Whenever there is a conspiracy, the first question is who benefits? Some are saying Kirk was turning against Israel, and that’s why Mossad had him killed. Even if Kirk was turning against Israel, there are still a lot of Right Wing media personality that is very pro Israel, and you also have the mega churches. Kirk might have some influence, but Israel’s support on the Right is still massive with or without Kirk.

    To me, the one who benefited the most is Trump, the 24/7 media coverage has really put the Epstein files on the back burner. And the alleged shooter’s romantic relationship with his Trans roommate also gives Trump more fuel to feed his rabid followers that there is an “Antifa terrorist network”. It’ll be hillarious if a conspiracy that “Trump had Charlie killed” picks up steam lol.

    I’ve seen a video, that is circulating of the alleged second shooter, he’s right in the front row, just behind the barricades, probably around 10 ft away from Kirk. He’s in a brown shirt, sunglasses, he loooks like some secret agent or a professional hitman. He does something funny with his hand right when the sound of the shot is fired. The conspiracy is that he’s using a palm pistol, and he quickly tucks it under his armpit after firing. It might be AI altered, but if there really was a second shooter, he certainly looks like one.

      Wouldn’t you hear two shots for two shooters? You can also probably triangulate/measure how long the gunshot sound takes to arrive from different videos and determine if it was from the roof or from the stage.

      Seeing the stills of the alleged shooter climbing the stairs and the video of him dropping down the rooftop, without the gun obviously showing in either before or after footage, maybe it was the guy at the stage. The investigators pretty surely know – a rifle bullet or one out of a palm gun (whatever that is, im not a gun expert).

      Anyway, funny how people like me, who have almost no facts, can let their imaginations run wild.

        Attached the closeup video again without sound. Looks like what I expect the rifle would look like. Just not sure where he hid it. Maybe he pre-stashed it on the roof?
