He was wearing a bulletproof vest, so I think that means he was asking for it, right?

    Was he? I'm not saying he definitely wasn't, but I haven't seen any reporting saying that, and the images/video that I've seen didn't make me think that.

    Conspiracy theories are already saying he had increased security and started wearing bullet proof vests, but I doubt there's any truth in that

    I also saw a video clip of obvious security people in plainclothes doing baseball signs just before the shot, the theories are gonna come fast and furious.

    I mean, maybe he did start wearing a vest, but nothing I've seen so far tells me he was wearing a vest yesterday in Utah.

    I've seen the same clip. Charlie Kirk was in the process of answering a follow-up audience question so it could have just as easily been an event coordinator communicating to whomever was running around with a microphone in the audience to get the next audience question ready and potentially even indicating what kind of question they were after given the complexity of the signal
