Those text messages have made everyone following Kirk's death a conspiracy theorist. Everyone.

9. I've read the texts made available and I'm suspicious.

I’m fairly precise in my text messages, but I’m also 67 years old and set in my ways, so I rarely use texting shorthand and I always use punctuation and proper grammar. I also have young relatives that I regularly communicate with and my experience with their communication is that even among the highly educated among them, they do not follow the same conventions that I do, so there’s that.

Texting style aside, it just strains credulity that such a perfect “confession” like that would be made via a series of text exchanges in the heat of a manhunt. Now couple those two concepts together with the documented history of gaslighting and misinformation coming from the Trump regime, and their absolute co-opting of this event to frame it as a leftist agenda event in order to enrage their base, it just doesn’t pas the smell test in my opinion.
