Google Maps measurement shows 375 ft. to the target, which is 125 yards. I am no professional and I could make that shot with a 4x without even breaking a sweat. It would be tough with iron sights but not impossible. Anybody saying "this has to be a professional" because it was 125 yards is ridiculous. As far as sight-picture, that's trivial -- since the venue was already chosen, just zero the scope on a similar grade (plenty of remote, sloped areas in Utah to practice). Even a moron could figure that out. I'm not saying it wasn't a professional, only that the idea that it was on a down-slope and 125 yards means it had to be a professional is just ridiculous. This shot was quite literally shooting fish in a barrel and someone with basic rifle skill could have pulled it off.
I wasn't a fan of Charlie Kirk. I agree with him some of the time, but a lot of times I found him to be backwards and insane. That being said, only the "left" believes that if you don't like what someone says, you can classify it as hate speech and then go out and shoot the person saying the things you disagree with.
However, it's looking more and more like this was Mossad. Charlie Kirk started to grow a brain cell, and that's not good for our Israeli overlords.
The big question: do we allow foreign governments to conduct assassinations within our borders? Will this be swept under the rug as the FBI tells us that there's no way to find the killer?

I don't do Bluesky and don't like bans, but it's really an asshole thing to say. Especially without the context. Here's the full bit:

Charlie Kirk is dead, shot down in public view. We may not yet know the name of the man or the group behind the rifle, but the reaction of certain circles to his death tells us more than any investigation ever could.
The laughter, the cheers, the ghoulish delight in murder reveal something darker than politics. They expose a spirit that exults in cruelty, that rejoices in the suffering of wives and children, that finds triumph not in creation but in destruction.
We have seen this spirit before. During the Spanish Civil War it unearthed the bodies of nuns, paraded their remains through the streets, and mocked the dead as though holiness itself could be desecrated even after burial. The same impulse that once set fire to churches and slaughtered priests now dances on the grave of a political opponent. It is not the spirit of debate or dissent, but of the vilest hatred, unleashed and unmasked.
We are no longer dealing with political adversaries. We are confronted with those who despise dialogue itself and who glorify violence as the only language they recognize. We are dealing with those who, in celebrating murder, renounce their own humanity. They align themselves with what is evil, with what is demonic. And when men give themselves over to that power, they cease to be neighbors or fellow citizens in any meaningful sense.
This is more than politics. It strikes at the foundations of morality and at the fate of civilization itself. A society that celebrates murder reveals what it has already become and what it is willing to endure. The line has not only been crossed, it has been erased. What remains is the choice of whether we allow the descent to continue, or whether we finally recognize it for what it is and respond accordingly.
If we choose silence, then the grave they celebrate today will be ours tomorrow.

Maybe they'll USS Liberty him and say it was a total accident.
