Charlie Kirk Was Killed Debating—But the Free Speech Fight Continues
Dad Saves America

Sep 12, 2025 #charliekirk #tpusa #freespeech
The assassination of Charlie Kirk is a tragedy and a warning. A young father was gunned down while working to repair the foundation of American civilization—free speech and civil debate. Charlie went into the lion’s den with courage and joy, introducing students to ideas that have been all but banished from college campuses. A fifth column has taken the lie that “speech is violence” and made it the central philosophy of higher education, and we fund it as taxpayers. If we are to honor Charlie Kirk’s legacy, we must figure out how to fix this once and for all. America depends on it

Hard to know where to start.

The gun they showed does not appear to be a Mauser 98
Then there’s taking a Mauser apart in a split second and fitting the disassembled stock and barrel into a backpack
Also about re-assembling the entire thing while on the roof to begin with, while holding zero ?

The whole clothes changing story that doesn’t match the pics or video..

Roommate said something about coordinating the weapon drop off, the information about the discord server, and was taking requests on the "inscriptions" …

Truly amazing. Even more so that the public seems oblivious or just doesn’t care

There’s a lot more but unconfirmed

I’m still not sure he knows how this works.

He knows how it works... just not saying so... and Howard Lutnick knows too and he's looking to cash in

Lutnick Family Angling To Make Astronomical Sums Off Court Nixing Tariffs



"This is not new. But I at least hadn’t heard any of these dots connected. I wasn’t even aware of the dots. A friend mentioned to me over the weekend that he’d heard about Wall Streeters buying up the rights to tariff refunds from big corporate importers. So the idea is that a Wall Street firm goes to an importer and says, you’ve now paid $10 million in tariffs. I’ll pay you $2 million right now for the right to collect the refund if courts ever end up deciding the tariffs were illegal. My friend had also heard that one of the most aggressive buyers was Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm until recently headed by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and now run by Lutnick’s sons. Twenty-something Brandon Lutnick, pictured above on the left in a 2016 photo, is the current chairman of Cantor Fitzgerald. (He must be hella talented!)

Damn, I thought: That’s a hot story, crooked as the day is long."

A Mauser 98 is a great design but I question why anyone would want to go through the trouble of converting it to 30-06. Seems like a good way to waste money. I would guess that when converted the stock was replaced possible with one that detached from the action quickly. When he jumped off the roof it wasn't clear to me that he had a long gun and I find it odd that after taking the shot he took the time to disassemble it but maybe it comes in two easily. After jumping off the roof and halfway to the road you can see him fooling around packing something. I assume he was trying to jam it into a bag. Also, I wonder if they found it disssembled. I have not read up on it nor have I seen the photos so don't know. I do own a Mauser (Turkish M38).

Of course. Political assassins always act alone!

They said they found it assembled and provided a picture.

I posted a video from YT a few pages back showing taking apart a Mauser 98

Right?

And I’m not saying he wasn’t, I’m just reading their own, very limited, words and things ain’t matching up. Not even close. It’s fricken bizarre

Ya’ll really should go on X and see what a few million other people are saying, many wayyy smarter than me

We need a sarcasm emoji....
Lee Harvey Oswald, Sirhan Sirhan, and Jack Ruby acted alone, didn't they, obviously?
