MODERATORS
I get the strong feeling that this shooting was done by a professional.
- 1 single shot from over two hundred yards away
- shooter escapes like a ghost, and it doesn't seem like the police have found any evidence he was even there.
- a separate person seemingly providing a distraction so the shooter can get away and the police just let him go.
Makes me wonder a few things
- was this a false flag? (seems most likely) - especially when you consider the context of trump wanting to send military into US cities and the Republicans voting against releasing the epstein docs on the same day. This shooting was an absolutely fantastic distraction and could easily be used by trump to promote his usage of military against US cities.
- was this sponsored by someone
- was this another country?
- if the shooter escaped so easily, how likely is it that he does this again somewhere else?
Shooting is a skill you can learn, improve, and build expertise in. You don't need military or agency training, just a place to practice and maybe an instructor. Next, it's hard to locate a single shot, especially when unexpected. There would be echos and conflicting reports from observers under duress.
Occams razor is the shooter was a practiced with good aim, good optics, and a good escape plan(so far). That much has zero requirement for outside assistance.
The United Healthcare shooting was way dirtier in terms of evidence, skill, and plan. It still took them days to find the suspect they wanted to prosecute and that after other suspects were released. They will do a similar manhunt here.

Left-wing streamer Kyle Kulinski says Charlie Kirk was feuding with nazis to his political right before he was killed.
Right-wing Pundit Clayton Morris shares rumor that Charlie Kirk was concerned Israel was going to kill him, and that he was wearing body armor when he was shot.
If it turns out it was an Israeli/Nazi joint effort, I will break my ribs from excessive sardonic laughter.
