Sketchy as fuck. (And so is the Butler shooting).

(32,789 posts)I didn't know that the FBI's explanation was so flimsy. I did see the video of the guy jumping off the roof and immediately knew that the story he had his rifle in his backpack was BS. I guess the FBI had to come up with another explanation later that it was broken down.
Has anyone taken a similar rifle and backpack with clothing and see if it does fit?
I have always doubted the language from the texts, as has cyber security expert Malcolm Nance.
Malcolm went on to say that Krasnov will use the martyrdom of Kirk like a little Reichstag fire to take away more of our rights, to take away our freedom of speech.

The whole thing just doesn't smell right. I fear this will be the Republican's Burning of the Reichstag.

(9,150 posts)that there is no way that wound in the photo was from a 30-06 from 150 or 200 yards. Likewise you don't break down or reassemble a 30-06 with a scope in 6 seconds. I also agree that the picture of the backpack we have seen isn't going to hold the barrel. Days ago when I first read the supposed "transcript" of the texts I voiced great doubt about this.

(18,863 posts)The neck isn't dense enough for the projectile to 1) expand or 2) transfer it's energy to the tissue
Physics says the energy of the projectile can't be transferred without resistance. Otherwise it just punches holes.
I'd assume the bullet was found intact and whole.

(11,036 posts)After seeing Kash Patel looking super sleezy when refusing to answer Senators questions on Epstein.
As a podcaster, for yrs Patel talked about Epstein trafficking women, getting the names from the black book and the FBI wasnt doing enough TO - nothing to see here folks - no trafficking. OMG!
So blatant- no wonder no one believes the text messages the accused killer supposedly wrote. Now- we have Candace Owens doing alternative investigations on the case. Shes been speaking with the family of Lance - the roommate plus she has a line for people to report whatever.
Her following is growing- - supposedly she had 5 million live viewers on her YouTube show a day ago - not counting views on other apps like Spotify & Apple & people who watched later. So she could possibly be having 15 to 20 million Americans watching her show. Podcasts are changing the world.
Love to see Republicans going after Republicans. Now we have Candace, MTG, Tucker , Matt Getz, and recently Megan Kelly really pissing off Trump & Netanyahus over Israel.
