With all of those exposed roof tops they could have had several drones up looking or even hired a helicopter to watch the roof tops. Hindsight is 20/20
He was a private citizen. Who hires them. He can't afford in depth security whenever he speaks. The best he can do is try to protect against the obvious - an idiot with a handgun or knife charging the stage. @mdwest, who actually is a true expert on this subject, gave a pretty detailed discussion of the challenges a couple of pages back.

Jd Vance will be escorting Charlie Kirks remains back to Arizona on Airforce 2.

Dont know if you guys ever saw the t.v film "Taking Chance" about a Marine Colonel escorting the remains of a fallen soldier back to Wyoming. It was touching.

I saw that, I did see somewhere he has a net worth around 12 million, some guys operating drones would be a small price to pay.
I also read he told someone that he had been getting some threats, but no one could have seen this coming.
Just sad and infuriating.
 
Obama said something similar. Hollow words coming from those Crocodiles

Notice how those snakes only say that we need to reject it? Of course you can never accept or enjoy political violence. The key word that they know they can't say is that we need to "prevent" it. To prevent it means to dialog and accept that the other sides views are valid. They know their views are not valid or sensible. Therefore they will continue to be assholes.
 
.... These could be in military configuration, or they could be sporterized versions sold at our major department stores in the 1960s-1970s...
...It will be a difficult task to trace that weapon if it truly was a rifle sold in the USA more than 30 years ago.
I'm a little aware, because the American rules for handling guns are considered a kind of ideal, and they are being appealed to in the political struggle to change the Law on guns. Many military Mauser guns came to the United States from Russia and Ukraine after 1991, and at a bargain price. It was a so-called "mobilization reserve," and the numbers on the parts did not match, since the rifles were disassembled during storage. I just wanted to point out that they were often registered by the number on the frame, and this is not a serial number, but a technological number, that is, at the factory after 9999, the next rifle was assigned 0001, and so on in the cycle. That is, indeed, there may be many rifles with the same number, and not all of them are in the databases.
 
The problem with your example only JFK was sniped and there still questions about it.
The rest were close range
The only other way I can explain it is if you had a loved one kidnaped, say a child , and they were holding a gun to their head would you take a center mass shot or head shot to eliminate the threat. also a charging buffalo 10 yds, head shot or heart, IM aware what military trains for .. the other thing I want to clarify is my remark about others opinions, that remark was directed at MNM like fox cnn ,x. I value the opinions on here and the debate or I wouldnt be here. wanted to clarify that up front..
 
A Tweet that made me realize Idaho is a sane place today:

that and the fact the GOV. signed into law pedophilia crimes punishable by death. I heard when he did , 2 million californians moved out of state of Idaho.. lol .sorry I couldnt resist.
 
All Branches of the Military teach center mass shots, primarily because it gives the highest probability of a hit.

Very few Military or Police courses teach intentional headshots. None that I know of teach neck shots, unless there is no other part of the anatomy with a clear line of sight.

The marksmanship requirements were not demanding if the distances we're being given are correct. The shooter was more than likely attempting a head shot with a rifle sighted at 100 yards, and bullet drop resulted in a unintentional neck shot.

Everything about this shooting is amateurish, and the shooter will be caught.
 
Everyone with a different opinion on the assassin, I want you to be right and me to be wrong. Let’s pray for sloppy actions and swift justice.

I based my opinions on statements by police and FBI that this situation is harder than priors.
 
I'll simply suggest that any reasonably experienced 12-year-old in this state could make that shot - I assume he was aiming for the head. The rifle could not be more common. He left physical and photographic evidence in abundance going and coming. He seems about as professional as a - oh I don't know - a radicalized college age loon looking for depraved immortality?
I hear ya ,but Thomas CROOK who shot at Trumps head missed by about 2
0r 3 inches, and they say he had some training. The rifle looked like common pawn shop stock, but efficient enough at 180 yds.
 
I think Charlie Kirk’s killing may have opened the eyes of many left leaning Americans; the sick celebrations are getting media attention for outrage however there are many who are opening their eyes to the truth about their party.

This video is 23min long and you will hear from many Americans who are disgusted with the actions of their peers; you will also see the shameful actions of EU parliament members gleefully disrupting a minute of silence called in their chamber.

The FBI has delayed their press conference because of “rapid developments” and let’s hope they are positive.

Police "sniping" is different to military sniping. Shots are typically 100 yards or nearer, and brain stem is the preferred target at those distances, at least if the baddy has his arm around a hostage.
 
U.S Naval academy in Annapolis on lockdown with an active shooter and possible casualties.
The rumor mill says its a midshipman who was kicked out that returned with a gun and opened fire.

Good God, what the hell is going on in this world?

Ok I don’t talk about this much one reason I was not on the team long. There were certain aspects of cert that I did not like. ( nothing really mysterious pay related)
But you were told only to take a head shot if you had to stop function right then.
But other wise chest shots were more sure.
And the average Leo shooting at the time was average at 74 and something yds.
The cert team spent more time practicing chest shots than they did head shots.
And if something looked like it had to be a head shot the best that was available took it.

Btw cert if you don’t know was corrections emergency response team
No not swat there was some overlap but not much riot control and cell extraction was the most of it.
But if they saw you were a good shot during qualifying you would get some opportunities.
 
Wondering what kind of vest he was wearing. lvl 3 and 4 are kinda hard to wear under a dress shirt. I wore IIA as a patrolman, and if he was wearing just plain kevlar IIA like I did, I don't see any way it could have occurred as this tweet suggests. A 30 cal bullet at 2500-ish fps would have gone right through the kevlar like it wasn't even there.

Jake, Sorry to bug you again. I was wondering if you could share a. couple actual pics of this crossbow with me?

Xpedition Archery USED Scrapeline390X Sniper Gray Crossbow XACW1001 - Light Wear - Needs Bolt/Arrow Guide Spring UA5689​

If it is in a decent shape, would you be willing to sell it for $100 shipped? IS it missing the retention spring that goes over the bolt?
Thank you Ferenc

Good morning John, I just read your setup procedure for the northstar duplicator ator. I found it very hand and I did learn some things. I have the same machine and I am having a problem i can not figure out and was hoping you could shed some light on the subject.
