There was no one behind him and the shooter took one shot, how would someone else have been killed?

Bro have you not seen how the shot moved around the car in the JFK assassination? Quantum bullets are out of control.

If you flick the gun at the last second you can make it do orbits.

I've seen Wanted, there are lots of possibilities based on that documentary.

If he wasn't there, someone farther away might have been killed

If he wasn't there, no one would be shooting.

Do we know enough about the shooter's motif to be sure about that?

[โ€“] Hoimo@ani.social 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The shooter who went to a Charlie Kirk event, took one clean shot at Charlie Kirk, saw Charlie Kirk go sideways and left the scene? I wonder what their motive could have been, maybe they would have shot someone else if Charlie Kirk hadn't been there to bravely catch that bullet.

True, we can wonder about it but we will never know for certain

It's truly a mystery /s

motif

I'm sure the artist had quite the distinctively well-timed, precise, strikingly vibrant motif throughout their oeuvre. It drew dramatic reactions from all critics.

Lol look at this loser who can't even curve his own shots.

Charlie Kirk was filled with a huge amount of methane under pressure. You could hear it when he opened his mouth.

Luckily everyone in the crowd could smell it once he popped a leak and high tailed it out of there.

The crowd dodged a bullet...
