okay---i did not even know who Charlie Kirk was, until he got wacked by a wacko with a war-surplus high-powered rifle fitted with a scope; tho he prolly never heard o' me, either. Ha. But yeah---the alleged shooter allegedly abandoned the rifle, when he/she/it made their escape, which is right out of the Ozzwald and James Earl Ray playbook. I'm wondering what that rifle will bring at auction, after the trials and appeals and finally---the alleged shooters' execution by firing squad? I figure the best strategy now would be for controversial characters to shy away from public appearance at outdoor venues. Seems like a common sense approach, to me.
