I will! Might I suggest 10:00 Eastern whether you want a bourbon or coffee and anything in between. A toast for a man who made a difference.

| Yeah, Charlie and his beautiful wife and kids seemed like right wing terrorists. Club, your picture is pissing me off more than ever. |

I’m missing whatever was visible in the second clip, but if based on the first I’m correct about where the killer was and using Google Earth, he was about 140 or so yards from Kirk, or just a little farther than the one who tried to kill President Trump.
Apologies, I was headed out the door and didn't explain what I saw in that one. Top of the frame, first half of the clip, the roof line of the far building.

I don't tend to have a drink on a 'school night' but count me in. I knew from the original thread title & author that something bad went down. Really saddened & angered to read this. The post on the prior page hit it well: quote: I've seen several people saying something along the lines of "I don't know why this is affecting me so personally."
Its because in Charlie you see yourself, the most polite version of yourself, the most articulate, the most charitable to your enemies. And even that wouldn't be enough to save you from them.
I haven't seen a ton of his stuff, but everything I've seen, he has such a calm & rational response to anyone at the mic.

I hope that you are correct. “I prefer peace, but if trouble must come, let it be in my time so that my children may know peace. - Thomas Paine” Charlie Kirk was talking about ‘mass shootings’ when he was shot. I think the murderous and cowardly assassin may have been waiting for the appropriate moment to do his dirty deed.

Amen! God's will is perfect, we should all have faith in his plan and know that today's tragedy is part of the bigger picture

Fighting the good fight

| I don't think that's related. The rifle in the still before the video plays appears to be a break-barrel air gun, like this Beeman R9: There's no provision for a magazine or a magazine floorplate. The barrel is super thin, like an air rifle. You can see the hole in the bottom of the trigger guard, which is designed to allow you to insert a screwdriver to adjust the trigger adjustment screw located above that hole and next to the trigger. And the front of the stock is Y-shaped, to allow the barrel to hinge downward. |

You may be right...that barrel seemed a bit too thin even if it's a .240 or .270 and the stock a bit rudimentary. Considering Provo is the next town over, I'm going to imagine every LEO in the area & state is being extra vigilant. |

Charlie Kirk, you were, and still are, an American hero.
His wife and children were the first thing I thought of when I heard he’d been shot. I’m sure his wife knew it could happen and worried but I can’t begin to imagine the pain she’s in right now. |

Been dry for 16 years. I'll be glad to join you if you don't mind me having a root beer float. |
