I'm very disappointed in the amount of educators involved in the celebration of a man's murder, and the number of them in Texas--and local--that should be immediately removed from our classrooms at the college & K-12 levels. I posted links yesterday about the TSU professor teaching open rebellion against the U.S.. This was on top of all the other stuff about young Mr. Kirk's murder from local teachers in Goose Creek ISD & Pasadena ISD. It's really sad. I don't really know what to say other than we've lost our way, and I worry for my grandkids.

The Minnesota lawmakers were mentioned. I also mentioned no flags were flown half staff, and the murderer was a professed Christian. I also brought up the fact I found no threads on the subject. These thoughts were covered on this thread. (Posted yesterday @ 8:52 a.m. this thread, and a subsequent post about the flag issue.) I tried to mention these things in a respectful--but questioning--manner. Good post. All of the killings were senseless.

His leg was bending too much even with the limp for a 20” barrel…

I assume it will be a sellout again. I only see 10 Reserved seats left.

Didn’t he leave it in the woods behind the houses shown? Hard for me to see. Like I said, I don’t have X. Video is very small.

Yep. The Kings of Baytown...and a woeful Wolverine squad.

I think the only thing GCM has is the RB (Bright) they got from LP. He was 2nd Team All-District last year for us. But, I think Kingwood can shut down a single back threat. Their D was decent.

Was the video before or after? I thought it said before? I was confused. I thought it was after at first also. But, I saw a profound limp in the very beginning of the video when I thought it said 'before.'

Thoughts on Kingwood? I really like the Wehby kid. Hinson is a pretty solid passer to me also. I think they can compete pretty well for that 4th spot. They played LP tough.

Ouch

Goose Creek and Pasadena. I don’t know what’s going on with these teachers nowadays. [Hidden Content]

Kingwood has a good squad. The fight between them and King for that 4 spot is going to be epic again. If watching, watch that Wehby kid. I think he was #13 if I remember right.

The other side of sports. [Hidden Content]

Definitely a limp.

According to press reports, his children and wife were in attendance.

I guess young Mr. Kirk knew more about what was going on in our colleges/universities than most of us, and was trying to engage students who are somewhat captive of their instructors. Hard to believe this stuff is being allowed until caught. It’s way past time for this type stuff to end. I don’t remember any of this crap when I was going. Where did these people come from?

Good opinion piece IMHO. Granted, I didn’t know that much about Charlie Kirk as I only saw him occasionally on Fox Business. He seemed okay on those short pieces. Fox Business in the morning (Varney & Co.) and morning local news is all we watch. So, not really as much politics as elsewhere. Here’s the piece from a Gen Z viewpoint: [Hidden Content]

Scary indeed. Of course, I’d also be remiss if I didn’t mention that Trump didn’t order flags at half staff for the Minnesota lawmakers’ deaths. This is the kind of stuff that gets fringe people inflamed as well. It will be blasted over MSM. He has a way of stepping into it.

If anyone wonders where some of this comes from, it’s not just Ivy League. I think the X post says Dean of Student Conduct. Ironic. Don’t have X. So, harder for me to make out exactly. [Hidden Content]

Reporting is saying the shot was only 142 yards. This is the 2nd time—recently—someone with ill intent was able to get elevated at about that close a distance to a target at an outside gathering. Seems like security would check these areas more carefully now. Would seem to be an obvious thing to do…

Saying unspent rounds have something about trans rights & fascist writing on them. Not clear on it all yet. Still kinda early reporting I think. [Hidden Content]

Looks like he was just a poor shot. Saying rifle was .30-06. If sighted in at 100 yards, should have been true if just an occasional shooter. Could be rifle was sighted at 200, and he wasn’t that proficient.

As careless as the shooter appears to be, they should be able to track the gun registration. Still bet it’s a low end Remington 223. This really was a short range shot if less than 300 yards.

That’s why I said a .223. Probably had plenty for the shooting range. They’re cheap & plentiful. No questions are asked when bought because they’re thought of as a range round. While an accurate round with little kickback, he probably didn’t realize their weight wouldn’t be the best for the range. Pro would know that. We’ll see if they ever release those details.
