...aaaaand now, the conspiracy theories 🙄

I know this violate a DU rule but I just want to give everyone a picture of the people who walk amongst us.

About the murder of Charlie Kirk.
I can’t find one of the actual posts. There are 22,000 replies on this one story.
From this thread.

On the Fox News Facebook feed, I saw three THREE posts on that about how the round bounced off his bulletproof vest and that’s why there’s no exit wound or how it hit the neck or some other complete nonsense.

Many have pointed out that he clearly wasn’t wearing a vest.

Some other crazy stuff.




I just saw this one. 🙄
Have any of yall seen the trap door they found under the stage; perfect explanation for the ripple to the t-shirt and the exit wound over his left shoulder;
There was no round recovered from his neck; but it was probably recovered at the scene, and no one will ever see it…

AND

Well the bullet came out of the camera behind him, passed through, and went into the ground. Why do you think they were so quick to hop up and pull that camera down
