Here's an update from several mentioned sources (Including ABC News and direct quotes from officials), compiled by (of all venues) RT:

 

On Thursday, ABC News cited anonymous sources as claiming that three unspent cartridges found with the alleged murder weapon bore “transgender and anti-fascist” messages. According to the outlet, the firearm in question is an “older model imported Mauser .30-06 caliber bolt action rifle.”

 

Speaking during a press conference that same day, Robert Bohls, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Salt Lake City Field Office, confirmed that agents had “recovered what we believe is the weapon used in yesterday’s shooting.” The “high-powered bolt action rifle” was found “in a wooded area where the shooter had fled,” the official stated.

 

Bohls said that forensic experts were “analyzing the weapon,” and had “collected footwear impression, a palm print, and forearm imprints for analysis.”

Do you honestly believe the FBI could/would have prevented this?  Or are you just parroting the MSM looking to blame Trump?

 

Why would the FBI even be at a campus event?

 

The FBI have frequently prevented murders.

 

They can’t do there job when assigned away from their duties to assist ICE.

Firing the head of Salt Lake City Field Office and assigning agents away from their duties obviously has a negative impact on the FBI’s ability to protect people in Utah.

 

Forgive me for pointing that out.

As expected, Pro Trans and anti "fascist" messages on the cartridges.

 

What a surprise.

And so convenient to have left them to be found by investigators while having taken such obvious efforts to plan the attack and the escape.

Conspiracy nonsense. 😃

 

He'll be caught soon. Then you can drop this pretense that he wasn't a leftist activist. 

US officials plan to punish foreigners ‘making light of’ Charlie Kirk death

I do hope he’s caught soon.

 

Then we can learn the truth of who he is, what his motives were and what his political beliefs.

 

In the meantime we have to put up with wild assumptions.

Some questions Jonny:

 

Was the head of the FBI’s Salt Lake City Field Office removed from office by the Trump admiration?

 

Had the Trump administration assigned FBI agents away from their normal duties onto assisting ICE?

By "wild assumptions" of course, you mean bizarre leftist conspiracy theories from lefties trying to pretend this wasn't a political assassination of a conservative by a lefty. 😆

Who’s claiming this was not a political assassination?

 

Where’s the evidence of the killer being a leftist?

The crime rate in red states like Utah is out of control.  They need to send in the National Guard.

 

My bet is that this crime as with most crimes are committed by the violent Leftist.  All school shootings have been done by Democrat supporters, and people who would vote Democrat if they voted or would vote.  This is where crime calls from.

Are you implying that if Trump hadn't been tackling the immigration problem then the lefty murderer wouldn't have been able to murder, therefore it's actually all Trump's fault and not the fault of the lefty murderer?

 

Because, that's what it looks like you are implying.

Looking into history, it's easy to find how high profile violent events such as the assassination of Kirk have been inspired by hateful rhetoric such as what the left media mob, politicians and you yourself and many others have posted countless times on this forum to accelerate extremist events. Watch out for that happening again.

Amen

Conveniently left to be recovered by a killer who clearly meticulously planned the killing.

If you have any evidence as to who the killer is, his motivation or his political affiliation, send it to the FBI, I’m sure they’ll appreciate your help.

 

You might even get the reward money on offer.

 'Most crimes are committed by the violent Leftist'.

Seems that is not the case with domestic extremism in the US.

Domestic extremism in the U.S. isn’t spread evenly across the spectrum. From 2011 to 2020, right-wing extremists were responsible for the overwhelming majority of extremist-related killings — three out of every four deaths. Islamist extremists accounted for about one in five, while left-wing and other movements barely registered.

Nice baiting comment. 

 

Why not just say you hated the man instead of your spineless comment. 

Charlie Kirk was 31 years old. Married 4 years & had 2 very young children.

He NEVER spewed out a word of hateful speech. He simply engaged young people in friendly debates. He was a SUPER SMART guy, and started TurningPointUSA when he was 18.

I am 58 and of the Rush Limbaugh age...I was listening to Rush in 1990. Charrlie's mission was to just ask questions of college kids, and have conversations, that left them thinking. That was his crime against the L.EFTists.

He was a PATRIOT, a SUPER SMART guy, and I HATE the hatred. I am Conservative/Republican....As Ben Franklin once said. We have a Republic....if we can keep it.
 

Churchill said Democracy was the worst kind of government, but it's the best we've come up with so far.

=============
Go be whatever you want to be in the USA. Trans/Sissy dude? Upt2U....PEACEFULLY protest?

No problem. 

I think Charlie named his organization aptly. Turning Point USA. I am so sorry he lost his life in the process.

We are EXTRAORDINARILY PISSED OFF right now. We (the Conservatives/Republicans) will do it legally and without political violence....until the blue-hairs attack us again.

The killer has not been caught, we’ll know his motivation and political affiliation if and when he is caught.

Apparently not meticulous enough, as he left the gun, a hand print, and a few photos which will catch him pretty quick. I'm thinking since Trump wasn't killed in the assassination attempt, and the security has been upgraded since, this nut looked at the next Trump supporter who didn't have the security necessary.

I was obviously questioning where was the gun BEFORE the murder as the 'person of interest' isn't carrying it here. So, when did the gun as later retrieved make it to the rooftop?

Yeah because the USA is the only place in the world where folks can get a gun to do a political assasination. I know that firearms assasinations never happen in gun free Japan.

The guy had a couple lead pipes taped to a 2X4...He had a caveman musket. He killed who he wanted to kill though.

It's not the waepon, it is the Psycho pulling the trigger.

How about the A****hole that stabbed the tiny Ukranian girl....just wanted to kill a "White Girl" That little girl reminds me of my daughter way too much. Racist PIG, arrested 14 TIMES.

Liberal Democrats kept releasing him.

I got a DUI in 1990. I had neither a pot to piss in nor a window to thow it out of = I violated my probation. I wound up doing 30 days in jail.......I found a flipping JOB after that.

Neither of my parents graduated high school.....I think Dad made it to 6th grade & Mom 5th grade.

Mom would get a switch & BEAT the TAR out of me 2 -3 times a week.

Dad was a womanizer to 'enth degree.

I only got arrested that one time though. I learned RESPECT for the LAW.

I had a very bad upbringing, but I never got arrested 14 times & then stab some young lady for no reason.

 

It is a 1,000% FAILURE of Democrat/Liberal policies.

Yes the leftist trans activist killer left it there as he scurried away from the scene like a rat. 😆

 

After stirring up hatred for years with your online rhetoric, you now appear to be trying to deflect blame from the murderer.

 

Nice work Chomps. Lovely...
