Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.

not convinced he wasnt a forced martyr. there was another angle behind him where a flash was seen, and then a projectile was recorded mid flight behind him. also a 30-06 would have blown his neck clean apart. he would be looking like he was nearly headless nick if he was lucky. but suddenly "its a miracle there was no exit wound" from 30-06......at about 150 to 200 yards? even if the recorded muzzle flash behind him, and the projectile caught mid flight behind him was doctored. theres no way a 30-06 would just "stop" in his neck with a small hole like that. physics would simply not allow it.

what they describe happening, and what we saw. would make sense for a 22lr or maaaaaaybe a 9mm. but thats also pushing it.

nah man. either they are lying abour the caliber and gun, the shooter, or the whole fucking thing.

also, trumps "attempted assassination" was staged as fuck. someone had to die to make it look real. the cavitation that would happened to his ear would have shattered all the cartilage in it, his ear would have been absolutely mangled. but it was magically healed withour a scar a few weeks later.

this whole admin is based on lies, never trust the story they present.

I would argue that a 150 grain 30-06 could do something like this. That's a pretty popular deer hunting round, and I don't know that it would go through a vertebrae. Certainly wouldn't almost decapitate him. 220 grain would probably exit I think, but again it wouldn't almost decapitate him. There really isn't enough in the neck to go flying everywhere.

That's just me guessing from decades of hunting deer, elk, and bear with a 30-06. I don't do neck shots though.

I've drilled high-quality, 3/8" steel plates with 30.06. Can't say how many grains, but it looked like it was drill pressed.

There's a lot of stink around what the FBI has said, but I watched some frame-by-frame shots and his throat clearly expands, big time. Wasn't a .22, but I still can't believe a 30.06, of any load, wouldn't tear him up far worse. I'll defer to your hunting experience, all I've done is target shoot.

Absolutely with you on the Kirk thing. This is rather eye opening:

As to Trump, it's not like he got blasted through the ear. Either the bullet or a busted piece of teleprompter chipped him. Any head wound will bleed like mad, and a little ding on the ear would heal quickly. I've cut myself shaving my ear and it bled nicely, healed quickly. Go watch some of those videos where they shot a pig ear. It just punched a neat hole. After all, there's no liquid in your cartilage to cavitate.
