@baddog  @LumRaiderFan  @OlDawg     What do ya'll think?  I possibly see something. Still kinda grainy.  But that may be it.

Looks like what could easily be a rifle in a case or bag.

I see what you are saying. Please watch especially close when he picks the bag up off the ground after jumping off the roof. The rifle is 3 1/2 feet long. The bag flexes quite a bit to have a rigid rifle in it. I’m sure the grainy video doesn’t help. I’ve been wrong before. Just what my eyes and brain are seeing.

Looks like he put something in a ledge/gutter with one hand, climbed on edge of ledge, dropped whatever it was, jumped down, and then retrieved and ran. Since the authorities found the rifle in the woods, I’d make the assumption that was it. I said it wasn’t in his pants leg first thing.

So you saying Trump lied to us?

I originally thought the Deep State may have got him when I couldn't see the gun.  Unfortunately they are alive and well!

Video is poor but it just makes sense that what he has is the rifle, to me, anyway.

What would have made more sense was to acquire a rifle not connected to the shooter and leave it, but it’s been confirmed we’re not dealing with a pro here.

[Reagan]

He was bragging to a co-worker while working as an electrician about being able to shoot 400 yards.  Curious if his family are hunters.  Was this their Mauser?  If not, where did he get it.  And where was he practicing.  He had to be.  200 yard shot with a 5 mile and hour cross wind.

First, I thought he was a dumb arse.  Why?  He wore the same tennis shoes to the shoot as in a pic in his room.  Then, you would think he would try to be stealthy, but on a white roof top, he wears a black shirt with blue jeans.  Then I find out he has a 4.0 gpa.  So, not really sure what to think of that!

I’ve met a lot of really smart stupid people. Worked with more than a few.

Educated doesn’t always make you a good criminal, and dumb never does.

You have to formulate a plan that later on countless folks that are very smart are figuring out, almost impossible.

200 yard shot on a range is a very easy shot to group well.  I’m sure this situation was different, I can’t even imagine.

[Reagan]

From 7 seconds to 28 seconds, is he walking to get ready to shoot?  If so, again, where's the gun.  Or is this a different time?

I went and watched it again.  And you are right, whatever it is it flexes.  Guns don't flex.  So, I don't know.

Question. My son watched the shooting  and is absolutely devastated. He didnt sleep the firs tnoght. Does anyone know how I can help him get past this. He didnt agree with Charlie, but he doesn't believe that he deserved to die

I’m going to assume he is school aged. Tell your son that evil exists. Stay away from it. Tell him to do what he knows is right, to stay away from bad kids and listen to his mama. Tell him to seek knowledge and read a lot. Tell him hurting ANYONE over things they say is never OK no matter what. Most importantly, tell him if he drapes himself with the love of Jesus Christ, he will have eternal life in Heaven.

@bullets13  Tell me what you think?!  

PS -- of the pics of him, why screen shots?  Why not show us the actual video?  

@LumRaiderFan  @baddog  @OlDawg       Watch the first 28 seconds.

It’s not a very difficult shot. If he was aiming for the head (which makes sense), it was only a fair shot. Nothing spectacular. I had my son grouping within 1-1/2” of a bullseye at about 150 yards before he turned 12. Deer Hunters shoot 150 to 200 yard shots all the time. Sometimes a lot further.

Oh, I'm sure it's true what you are saying.  But, do you think it would make a difference if you are about to kill a human being?

Not if you’re effing crazy.

This is, I believe, the same answer Charlie Kirk would have given in a distressful situation.

If you hunt, there’s a thing called buck fever. I’m 58 and I still get it. My heart starts beating through my ears. My hands shake, and I can barely think. But if I take just a few seconds, relax my breathing and focus, I can shoot a deer every time right where I’m aiming.
