THANK YOU for saying this. I knew it because of my past employment, but it wasn’t hard to check it out. I almost think it was better when one had to check journals, text books, course materials, etc. or speak directly with professionals. Too easy to get false info online and think it’s accurate just because it popped up in a google search.
I only read your Substack for the pure and simple reason is that it’s documented research and speaks truth to the propaganda. I’ve not seen much of this propaganda for a reason. It’s rubbish. And, there’s chatter on the shooter’s “life” nonstop. It’s so ugly out there. Let’s hope there is an autopsy and a thorough investigation into some inkling of the horrific decision made by this individual’s choice to foolishly pull the trigger of a gun. We may never know it all. But!!!…Stay calm. Stay safe. Ignore the propaganda and lean into love. Thanks Jack for keeping things clear and tight.
Great article as usual. Anyone who has successfully hunted a deer with a rifle can confirm that an exit wound is not guaranteed. My issue with the claim from the authorities is what they’re basing that on. The rifle the found in the woods looks like it has been there for a season or more. The scope is not affixed fully, and if I remember correctly, it was backwards. Also there’s no reporting that they have the bullet. My concern is about the seemingly sloppy investigation and reporting.
I have no clue what people are saying online about the caliber of the gun or trajectory. However, I did see a video of him getting shot. He was wearing a white t-shirt with some kind of writing on the front. From what I saw, the bullet entered the right side of his neck and I saw blood run out onto the left side of his shirt. The way his body reacted to the bullet and how he fell tells me this. If he was shot from the front, he would have fallen backwards. Just the sheer impact from a bullet of that caliber would be like getting hit by a truck.
I am no expert in guns and bullets, but I know what I saw.
I’m glad this article exists. I am a bit curious about the arm, hat tilt and other “baseball” signals the two guys to the right of Kirk were giving right before the shot? Can you help us explain that? Asking for a friend.
Jack, thank goodness for you and your diligent work! Thank you so much for all of this eye widening, mind-boggling, much needed information!. Although I do find much news suspect these days, I had no idea of any of the information you are teaching us today! We all need to know. It is a lot to process, but it is a reference I will save, by all means! I always save what you write for that matter, and I definitely will question still more “facts”and suppositions in future “news” media.
Separately, I keep thinking of the assassination attempt on the life of President James Garfield. As we know, infection from the removal of the bullet was the cause of his death, rather than the bullet itself. In the book, Dark Horse, I recall reading of a huge number of crooked characters, real life characters, in the political setting of the time, not that I can remember specific information now. The comparison, for me, comes not only in the fact that there was a political related shooting with intent to kill, but that there was a tremendous amount of corruption surrounding our government. I do not recall how our country came through that time. Possibly, if I were to re-read the book, I would learn more by refreshing my memory, but I am wondering if there are any parallels to the present time, based on eventual improvements made then, by climbing out of that period’s havoc, as caused by horrific corruption.
The details of this shooting as you educate will helpfully lower the temperature. I didn’t look at a video that showed the actual shooting. Knowing what was coming was bad enough. It was a horrific and unnecessary. I wish it hadn’t happened although it seemed bound to in some shape or form. I read a couple articles by Chase Hughes that really left me thinking how I have been approaching all the dominoes that keep falling and feeling lately.
I somehow pushed send, I guess. Anyway, trying to think through a healthier approach to my fellow Americans. It takes a toll being so angry with 1/3 of the country all the time. The shooting has made me think, too. Thank you, Jack, for being our teacher. You have shared many important lessons from psychological to physical to readiness to military and weapons these past months.
Great analysis of bulletts that the average joe has no clue about. Even experienced hunters probably don't know have of what you have written here. Much appreciated. I knew some of this from being an RN but not all that you wrote.
My worldview was diametrically opposed to Kirk's, and we as a nation may need to adapt to the life-threatening global cesspool of hate speech that has the US by the b---s. He had the right to express himself but hate speech itself needs to be moderated.

Based on lack of actual data released on 2024 campaign PR event in PA, I highly doubt we'll learn anything that doesn't follow WH script.

Thank you Jack, for your expertise, along with facts/Truth vs what people think they saw without knowing.

Let’s use this to talk about guns. What we want and what we stand for.

Now THIS IS GREAT And VERY NEEDED INFORMATION!!!

Thank you, Jack.
The reminds me a little of the JFK assassination. The controversy continues.

Still unanswered questions...
