A former leader in the FBI said Wednesday night the agency was "back to square one" after authorities released a "subject" who had been taken into custody in connection with the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Kirk, 31, was the CEO and co-founder of Turning Point USA, a conservative s...
Honestly if you are going to kill someone in a high profile incident Utah is probably the best place. Easy to get into easy to get out of, for all we know the killer is gambling in Blackjack Nevada after proving their luck with that shot.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there weren’t lots of open carry types there too making it almost impossible to figure out who to suspect. The school allowed guns on campus.
Like a law banning guns on colleges and a few signs would have stopped this
You missed the point, it wouldn’t stop it, he meant that since everyone open carries, the amount of suspects significantly increases, and no one would find it suspicious for someone to be carrying a gun on campus.
You don’t get the point of those laws and signs. You see. If it’s illegal to bring weapons to that area, then you can stop someone BEFORE they start shooting people. You can even charge them and take their guns away. You know they’re doing something illegal, because they are armed illegally. Look at the Vegas shooter, he openly carried an absurd amount of legally possessed weaponry into a hotel room, no questions asked. If that wasn’t illegal? Well. He’d have to actually put some effort into this.
“Oh damn, it’s a gun free zone. Guess I can’t assassinate this podcaster after all”
really i’d think a would-be assassin would prefer a state without the death penalty and a state that they also wouldn’t have to leave so as to avoid federal charges.
Mossad / CIA isn’t going to care about that.
They would also go thru the trouble of engraving bullets they never intended on firing.
Who said they’re from Utah? I’m just stating that Utah is the cross section of many highways not even accounting for dirt mountain roads, it’d be relatively easy to get your shit together in advance “go camping in a remote area” and then put a round in Kirk. Then it’s just a matter of putting as much distance between you and the scene while leaving as little physical evidence it was you. If they can avoid getting caught for about a week I suspect they’ll be home free.
