They have someone in custody for the Kirk murder. Based on initial descriptions, he doesn’t match the radical leftist that MAGA was quick to assume he was. Yesterday we were also flooded with disinformation about the shooter, and I want to address that today. Write-up in the replies.
What We Know Versus What We Were Told

And how unprofessionally and irresponsibly those in charge of the Kirk murder investigation have been acting

Where's the rifle?

If the shooter took the rifle with him and dropped it in the woods, where's the rifle?

@SeanPLynch @jaykuo The FBI found the rifle in a dark blanket yesterday.

@jgobble @jaykuo

Yes exactly.

If the shooter carried it to the wooded area where the FBI found it, why isn't the shooter carrying it when they are leaving the building?

@jaykuo Please stop promoting substack
@jaykuo as I predicted directly after the shooting: as usual it is a maga guy or associated.
Because that's where the guns are.

@jaykuo Saw a guy at MDW wearing this tee this morning.

Obvs, not the suspect, but the T-shirt is far from “distinctive.”

@jaykuo I find it interesting and rather telling that they haven't shown us any images of this man or any man with the weapon involved. Is it because there are no such images or because they're saving them for court? I have so many questions.
@wbpeckham @jaykuo his lawyer(s) will be asking those questions & many more in court

They know this.
@jaykuo some #MAGAidiot claimed the shooter was a drag queen or trans. Can't really tell from the photo. But those people can be sneaky on how they blend in.
@jaykuo starting to sound like it's the "right" (aka "wrong" or "incorrect") fighting themselves
@spacebarbarian @jaykuo The only problem with that (and yes, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool-leftie) is that the bullets were engraved with a couple of statements. ps: one was engraved with "if you are reading this, you are gay" which tends to make me think he's a right-winger-white-power-male-alpha-asshole!

Trump loyalist spreads wild theory about Charlie Kirk shooter — and gets nailed

The congresswoman discussed details of the suspect, despite no individual being named or identified at the time.

Wasn't the idiot who shot Trump's ear in Pennsylvania in 2024 a registered Republican?
@ilust606 @jaykuo It's the extreme far right shooting at the far right for not being racist enough. Apparently from the investigation so far it looks like he's one of Nick Fuentes's followers who are known for trashing kirks events and causing problems previously.
