They immediately detained people who confronted Charlie at the event (as they were more democratic), but obviously were not the shooter.
The FBI says there is a massive manhunt for the shooter and are asking for any help they can get.
The Right IMMEDIATELY blamed democrats and the "radical left" are calling for our murders and a civil war, without any scrap of evidence to prove their claims.
The shooter was a ghost, some videos show a black figure on a roof 142 yards from the tent, well blended in and in all black. There is also video of the shooter running off the roof immediately after the shooting and got lost in the chaos. It's been over 18 hours and no suspect has been caught.
Just before this event, Charlie voiced concerns over other right wing conservatives not aligning with his ideals and voicing concern over Israel. He was wearing body amour at this event and the shooter knew it. Extra security was brought in for this event.
The most logical explanations for this shooting would be:
Another right wing radical taking out a voice they feel is hurting their cause for the movement and to cause chaos in the political spectrum.
A political assassination carried out by Donald Trump and his team to start a war with democrats and start a real war within on anyone that doesn't agree with them. AKA False Flag.
It's just too clean a getaway and too good of a shot for any other explanation considering the angle of the shot, the elevation change, the crowd, and the heightened security.
Indeed, the Nazis and Bolsheviks were well known for this kind of shit. Solid distraction from the Epstein Files which I believe he wanted released.
Are you looking to start a conspiracy? Marksmen have accuracy. I have accuracy. I can shoot anyone in the neck from 140 yards away and I'm not a marksman, just a guy who has shot rifles.
I am. It's fighting fire with fire. Election denial, vaccine hesitancy, 9/11 truthers, pizzagate, Hillary's emails, Benghazi. Send it right back at them.
Based. Maybe it was a cartel assassin responding to trumps aggression
Oh for sure. I've shot many rifles, I'm a good shot with iron sights at 200 yards, any modern scope makes it stupid easy.
The shooter got a body shot, but the bullet hit the steel plate Charlie was wearing and it ricocheted into his neck severing that carotid artery. So goes to show that not even bullet proof vests will stop you from dying.
I really doubt there was any ricochet after watching the video. There is no disturbance at all except strait to the neck.
It would be Mostly likely one of Enrique Tarrio's boys released from prison. That shooting had all the hallmarks of a military operation, including the single shot fired.
