So I've been subjected to more of this assassination nonsense and I just wanted to give a quick rundown of the current "facts" being distributed. Once we take a quick look at this stuff it's pretty easy to see why someone would go down a full on conspiratorial black hole.
When I have a question about a big conspiracy I usually look to what Ian is saying about it. I like his vibe and he's pretty level-headed for a conspiracy theorist; opting to focus on weird facts that simply don't add up rather than speculation, and then looking toward the incentives that might point to alternative conclusions. I also appreciate his sarcasm, as he's done things like rebrand his website to https://canceliancarroll.com where he sells random overpriced T-shirts (which I would not buy).
From this video we quickly figure out just how absurd the official story really is. Right off the bat there's a grainy video of the alleged shooter walking stiff-legged across the street in front of someone's home security camera. So the mainstream "consensus" is that he shoved the bolt-action rifle down his pants and that's why he was walking with a limp and not bending his knee. It would be interesting for someone who owned this type of gun to actually try doing such a thing, as I've yet to see someone attempt it and it sounds quite ridiculous, especially given that his pants were not particularly baggy.
It's then assumed that he walked up stairs to the roof of the building with the gun still jammed down his pants (again a bit ridiculous sounding). He takes the shot... and the cops make the claim that he disassembles the gun in record time and books it off the roof; doesn't take the stairs... there's a video of someone climbing off the roof, but you can't really see a gun. You can see something but it doesn't look like a gun. But hey it doesn't matter because you know he disassembled the gun super duper fast and put it in a bag or something. Why didn't he just assemble the gun in position instead of jamming it down his pants? Don't ask questions.
So then the cops say he runs into the woods and reassembles the gun before the cops find it. Because again that makes perfect sense to reassemble the gun when you're legit running for your life from the cops.

People say the scope is mounted wrong... people saying the gun the cops say it is isn't even the gun that it is (and that the gun that it is can't even shoot the ammo that killed Kirk). If you go into the comments of this one: people are like, "I own that gun and put the scope in that position... and I've shot stuff with it at 300 yards no problem and I'm not even close to a professional." So lots of weird conflicting information.

Official story is that he changes clothes?
Nah.
Stupid.
Oh yeah and then he runs home and tells both his career cop dad and his priest that he did it... because again this all adds up and makes total sense.

People in the comments of this one saying the speed of the "drone" doesn't even make sense and it's really just a bug flying across the screen at close range for 5 frames.

Perhaps the most damning circumstantial evidence to make a case that this was state-sponsored murder is that fact that not one but two people on the scene staged diversions (presumably to cover the real shooter's escape). That's simply not something that should ever happen unless planned in advance.
There was also a guy that cheered when he was shot which doesn't seem appropriate no matter how bad you hate the guy. If I see someone get shot, even if I loathe the person, my first reaction is going to wonder about my own safety and how bullets could easily fired into the crowd as well, but that's just me. Seeing someone get killed point blank in front of you doesn't seem like cause for celebration in almost all circumstances, especially when the shooter is an unknown sniper.
I also saw a random video of a guy trying to trace a random private jet that was nearby that's only been used like one time and seemed to have its data scrubbed from the Internet... so that's another weird thing.

The leader of Israel making a comment on this right after it happened is pretty odd as well, although I am hearing that one of Kirk's backers from his platform was Israeli? So maybe it makes sense?

I'm going to pick up that Blood-Stained Microphone where Charlie left it.
Wow that seems like poor taste considering, but tensions are certainly high.
And now all these videos of Kirk criticizing Israel are coming out adding fuel the the conspiracy that it was Mossad that actually killed him. That's a very grandiose accusation to make and would certainly require a lot more evidence, but it seems to be the one that a lot of conspiracy theorists are floating. Of course the whole "it was the Jews again" argument is somewhat tedious if you ask me.

Even though there are pictures of alleged shooter Tyler Robinson carrying guns and presumably knowing how to use them, I now hear a rumor that his grandma is saying he never went shooting and wouldn't have been able to hit a target from that far away... so that's another weird thing going around.

Apparently Kirk was instrumental in the full release of Ross Ulbricht?
Hm!
The cops claim to have found engraved unfired bullets
...
If you read this, you are gay LMAO.

Oh yeah I also remember seeing a video of people cleaning up the crime-scene minutes after it happened. Thoughtless accident or malicious intent?
Oh and also the nearby building had been renovated recently and had a ton of high resolution cameras... none of which have been released to the public thus far.
This entire ordeal is an absolute contradiction of facts and reason across the board. Nothing about it makes sense. Just like the Luigi Mangione debacle I'm very curious as to where it all ends up at trial. I expect much more ridiculousness to follow.
