      You’re getting carried away with the conspiracy speculation, not everything is a false flag. I can understand why you would want to believe it, but you’re ignoring tons of details that don’t fit the narrative. The biggest issue with the false flag explanation are the suspects themselves, who would have been terrible choices for patsies. The false flag theory just falls apart when you consider their bizarre backgrounds and motives, both for the attempted Trump assassination and the Charlie Kirk assassination.

      How can you believe this when the shooter was killed on sight AND there were casualties AND the shooter was a Republican? You don’t think if they staged it they would’ve avoided all of those things?

      Something stunk about that.

      I would not be surprised if the engineered a pop and his ear got scraped being brought to the ground, and his secret service details started firing blindly around into the crowd and hit the people. I have no confidence that Biden or his appointees in the FBI would get to the bottom of it either, or call it out if they found it. All fucking cunts.
