Charlie Kirk assassination - ballistics and comments

Charlie Kirk never made it onto my list of trusted resources because he was an apologist for Israel's crimes and i don't trust anyone that lacks such basic honesty and ethics. By the time he was killed he apparently turned his back on Israel, which was the right thing to do, but did he do it because a Jewish donor pulled out, or did he do it for ethical reasons? It doesn't matter to me because he supported Israel during its ongoing and very public genocide of the Palestinians.

That said, I don't have a dog in this fight. I've listened to what Candice Owens and Ryan Dawson had to say regarding his assassination, as well as a guy who is, or was, a coroner having ballistic experience and none of their comments seem to account for all the pieces of evidence regarding Kirk's assassination.

I'm aware of only a few possibilities at this time; either it was a lone-nut job, or that 'lone-nut' was state sponsored, or he was a patsy and there was a 2nd shooter. If we go with either of the former, then a .30-06 round was fired at Charlie from approximately a 10 degree elevation and 9 degree, right-side offset according to the coroner dude and since Charlie was sitting upright and not leaned forward--and this is where Ryan Dawson gets it very wrong--and assuming it was an off-the-shelf round and that the gunpowder wasn't degraded too much from age, then that shell should absolutely have exited at the base of Kirk's neck, just right of center (shooter's right), missing his vertebra, not that it would have mattered. Why didn't that happen? Well, there's a couple of reasons that come to mind, all overlooked by Candice Owens and everyone else that posits that it wasn't a .30-06 round: Maybe the shell wasn't an off-the-shelf round; maybe it was a special projectile, or maybe the gunpowder was heavily degraded due to age, or maybe a very light load was used. If we assume the shooter was indeed Tyler James Robinson, then it doesn't seem likely that he would have thought about or planned to use a special round or remove some gunpowder from that round, either of which would have required testing prior to the shooting. There remains then the possibility that the powder was very old which i suppose could explain a neck shot with no exit rather than a head shot (if he was aiming for the head and failed to compensate for a light load, the projectile would have impacted below his point of aim), however such a light load doesn't seem to explain the dramatic upheaval in Charlie's chest.

Another possibility is that Robinson was a patsy and a second shooter was involved, one using a small caliber weapon from close range, but still outside of the venue. The problem with this scenario, as well as the light load scenario, is the distinct movement of Charlie's tee-shirt which indicates a high power weapon was used that caused a massive cavitation in the body, violent enough to puff up his shirt and throw his necklace off over his head, but here again, if Robinson was the shooter, we run into the 10 degree angle thing which means the bullet would have blown out the back of Kirk's neck.

Yet another possibility that could potentially account for the lack of an exit wound and the massive chest movement, is a shot being fired from a very high angle. The problem here is the canopy may have blocked the line of sight of the assassin ... unless that assassin was perhaps a well funded, state sponsored operator in which case they could have been using infrared or perhaps another technology to see through the canopy. We also know that Israel likes to shoot people in the neck for some reason. Just sayin'. The other problem here is that an aircraft might be needed if there wasn't a sufficiently high building in the vicinity and this seems very much like a non-starter, so we'll leave that for Candice Owens to explore if indeed that's what she insinuated when she talked about a plane in the area.

The last scenario i can imagine is that Kirk was shot with a relatively high-powered rifle, but from his left side and from a slightly elevated position that would alleviate the visibility problem posed by the canopy. This could explain the apparent cavitation that caused the dramatic movement we saw in his body and his shirt, as well as what appeared to be a horizontal movement of the microphone magnet, as well as the lack of an exit wound. That's all fine, except that we again have a conspiracy to contend with which complicates matters.

Surely there are other scenarios i haven't accounted for, but of the choices i've given myself, i think the degraded gunpowder theory is the most likely scenario, but it's still terribly sketchy in my opinion. I'd love to see Israel implicated in Kirk's assassination because that could drive the final nail in the coffin of that swine infested Jewish state and if indeed Charlie did turn his back on the Zionist scum in his last hours, then they surely benefited from his death, as did the Zionist occupied government of the United States. Oh gee, well color me surprised!

If you have thoughts that are backed with logic or evidence, i'd love to hear them because i'm lost at this point. All i can state for certain is that Charlie was sure as hell not shot with any recent, off-the-shelf .30-06 round from 142 yards and a 10 degree down-angle from his front.

By the way, Robinson has not admitted guilt as of this writing and that seems strange if this was a political assassination where some person or group often assumes responsibility. There's also a lot of very weird anomalies attached to this shooting, such as Robinson's text messages after the event, comments by Bibi the Butcher (Benjamin Netanyahu) explicitly denying that Israel was involved in the assassination, twice, which is off-the-scale odd in my opinion, as was Israel's naming a traffic circle and painting a mural in his honor.

Assassination of Charlie Kirk - Wikipedia

Alleged involvement of Israel

In the days immediately following Kirk's assassination, conspiracy theories emerged about the involvement of Israel, of which many of those theories have antisemitic origins.[325][326][327] Some commentators attempted to link the event to the Israeli Mossad and to Kirk's comments about the Epstein files,[328][326][327] and Maram Susli resurfaced an August 2025 post by an Infowars host who stated that Kirk believed "Israel will kill [him] if he turns against them".[327] Tucker Carlson was accused by some pro-Israel groups in the United States of making antisemitic comments at the service for Kirk by suggesting he supported the conspiracy theory that Jews or Israel were responsible for the assassination. Carlson said that Kirk's assassination reminded him of the death of Jesus Christ, whom he said was killed by powerful people for telling the truth.[329][330]

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the theories, calling them "insane" and issuing multiple video messages claiming no Israeli government involvement in the assassination.[326][331][332]

On October 6, right-wing commentator Candace Owens revealed private WhatsApp group messages where Kirk claimed to have "no choice but to leave the pro-Israel cause" due to having lost $2 million from a Jewish donor over his refusal to condemn Tucker Carlson.[333][334] A day later, Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet published a video confirming the authenticity of the leaked text messages.[335][336][337]
