Based on the what we have been fed, IMHO, I do not believe there was a killing that day. Why? Let’s see. No police investigation, no crime scene taped off, every one disbursed immediately, no actual first aid, the body immediately whisked away. No police presence, no witness statements. Too many odd occurrences with the amount of cell phones available.

Ask yourself, what immediately happened afterwards and which side benefitted the most.
Not Ben Shapiro
I don’t care for Ben Shapiro, to be fair, I haven’t really sat down to watch/listen to him, I just find him to be off putting. I guess I find his projection of his image to be too carefully cultured.
Shapiro immediatly jumped in proclaiming he would carry on with Charlies bloody mic.
Carry on through TPUSA, or just carry on the cause with his own platform? The first- not cool, the second, many other podcasters have vowed to carry on the cause via their own platform.

Daily Wire hosts Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh stood firm in their defense of free speech and conservative values after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, even as some unhinged leftists called for more political commentators to be targeted.
Shapiro and Walsh dedicated their shows on Thursday to honoring the legacy of Kirk, who was killed while speaking to students at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. During their shows, both Shapiro and Walsh also told their followers that despite concerns of more violence against conservatives, they would never back down and continue to stand “up for what America is and what she should be.”
“I saw a lot of rumors online today that I’m going to cancel some sort of college tour. That’s bullshit. I saw those rumors. They are false. I will be coming to college campuses, many of them this year,” Shapiro said. “So will we all, I am sure, because we are Americans. And we’re not going to be deterred.”
“Charlie’s voice is not silent. We’re going to pick up that blood-stained microphone where Charlie left it,” Shapiro added. “And to those who would intimidate, who would seek to stop us, who would seek to end free discussion, who believe that they have ownership over public spaces and can violently threaten and kill people who speak freely, we are not going to stop. And I have two words: fuck you.”
“We will not stop telling the truth. We will never stop telling the truth,” the Daily Wire editor emeritus continued. “We will never stop debating and discussing. We will never stop standing up for what America is and for what she should be. And we will never let Charlie Kirk’s voice die.”
I’m not outraged by Shapiro’s comments. Kirk’s chosen weapon was debate, picking up his bloodied mic to carry on the cause, in my opinion, is not any different than me picking up the weapon of a fallen comrade in battle. I also don’t take issue with what Shapiro or Walsh said. Shapiro uses the “we” when discussing both continuing Kirk’s cause as well as the visiting of college campuses. He also said “We’re going to pick up that blood-stained microphone…” - not just Shapiro but other conservatives would as well. I heard the same rhetoric from Crowder and others immediately after the assassination. Crowder actually did go to at least one campus and engaged in a “Change My Mind” event. I may not like Ben Shapiro but I really can’t be outraged by what he said immediately following Kirk’s assassination.
And no blood
No grave/burial either..
VALHALLA
Valid points. It's like the overall story - no telling who or what is good or bad. Schroedinger's cat - we only find out when the box is opened.
