WoodScientist comments on Grok says Charlie Kirk shot is a meme video

Imagine the world where this actually was a meme shot gone wrong. Maybe Kirk went a little nuts and decided to try to duplicate Trump's miracle near miss. The ultimate way to build credit among the right wing. Kirk hires a sharpshooter to give him a near miss, to just graze him with a bullet. And...well...the sharpshooter missed...

Now, I don't find this scenario particularly likely, as I don't think any of these right wing social media goobers are brave enough to actually put their person in such direct risk like that. And you have to be pretty fucking dense to hire someone to shoot a gun in your direction. But it is fun to imagine that wonderfully absurd scenario.

Naw, it was an assassination. Something only a government would want to pull off.

That leaves us with three likely candidates and a couple of unlikely.

If feel pretty strongly that because of the laser quick response this administration was aware beforehand.

The primary candidate would be the US. We all know that they love false flag operations and with the tide turning against this administration it needs a war or some major travesty to distract.

The second would be Israel. Their house of cards is about to fall and they have done similarly desperate terrorist acts like this before.

The third would be Russia the master shot caller who has been responsible for a lot of the far right movements we are familiar with.

I will admit your scenario is infinitely more entertaining and creative than what we are actually dealing with.
