The shooter had a trans boyfriend. This was the question Kirk was answering when he was shot (media.scored.co)

The Leftist that was asking that question has basically rebuked the people celebrating Charlie's death. He specifically said what he was trying to do was show that the Left was peaceful. Now, he's having a crisis of faith in the Left.

Poor dude was a Useful Idiot that thought transgenders were least likely to commit crimes. He genuinely didn't realize the gunman that shot over his shoulder, and the man that cheered Charlie's death behind him were very real, and he's struggling to come to terms with it.

Reminds me of the wiki vandal connected to the Chris Benoit tragedy.

When Benoit no-showed the 2007 WWE pay-per-view Vengeance: Night of Champions where he was supposed to wrestle, the serial wiki vandal edited Benoit's page to say that he had missed the show for personal reasons "stemming from the death of his wife Nancy."

A few hours later, the bodies of Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy, and their son Daniel were discovered.

And then investigators realized Chris Benoit murdered them both, before hanging himself on his weight set.

The wiki vandal was interrogated by police. Turned out, he genuinely had no idea. He was just vandalizing a page, and got right by coincidence.

You can find the interrogation videos on YouTube.

But here? I say question that fool some more. That's just TOO convenient a question to ask before the guy you're asking is shot and killed.

I remember that playing out in real time and some WWE fans on a forum I was part of at the time were going through the wringer as the actual details started coming out.

WWE was even showing a tribute show at the time since it was still quite soon after Eddie Guerrero had died when it was revealed to be a murder-suicide rather than just suicide. That segment got pulled fast and all of Benoit's appearances scrubbed from the WWE archives hard.

I saw that tribute show live, since I was a WWE fan at the time.

If I recall, the news broke DURING THE LIVE BROADCAST that Benoit himself was the killer.

The next day, before ECW on Sci-Fi, Vince McMahon had to record a cold open apologizing for that tribute show.

Yeah, that's a terribly unfortunate choice on the vandal's part. And yeah, like I said, the FBI should be interrogating them.

That's just TOO convenient a question to ask before the guy you're asking is shot and killed.

Is it, though? You kind of have to consider the subset of debate questions people are likely to ask Charlie Kirk. If you ask a random guy you run into in the grocery store "are transgender people unusually violent" and then he gets shot by a transgender-adjacent political activist, yes, that's a wild coincidence. If you go to a political debate event where the person you're debating is a Christian who is outspoken against transgender ideology, outspoken in defense of the second amendment, and there was a transgender mass shooting at a Catholic school in the last three weeks... I imagine that he'd probably already been asked a couple questions near that subject, and that if the event had continued, he'd have been asked a couple more.

Yeah, the guy looks visibly shaken from this whole ordeal. I hope he can find a way to move past it some day. Even though it is kind of sad that despite what happened, he still seems to not get the point Kirk was trying to convey. Like, no matter how ironic his death was, he STILL can't grasp the concept. Some people are just impossibly dense.

I don't think he's irredeemable, I think he'll figure it out eventually, but it will take years. You have to deconvert from a cult.

I hope there was a camera on the question asker (I know there was, but can we see it?) to check if any signal was given?

It really is just "too convenient" that this question was asked at that exact time.

There’s nothing in that image about the shooter having a trans partner.

Not in this one, but there are multiple threads here on it, and multiple news stories.

I'm personally not a fan of tweets for fact checking, but there was this from earlier in the day, the outer tweeter is or at least was a newsmax reporter

Edit:

Here is a decently long news article about it
