Next Day Thoughts

The Charlie Kirk shooter may have been caught on video found by the FBI who call him(?) "a person of interest." The individual pictured presents as a slender college-age white male, dressed in black.

Separately a bolt action hunting rifle has been found abandoned in the woods, and is thought to be the weapon that shot Kirk. When found, the rifle had a spent cartridge in the chamber. Some sources claim ammunition found with it has "transgender messages" somehow on the cartridges. 

Presuming both of the above are accurate (it's uncertain), the individual may only be posing as male, youth would be harder to fake.

I wish someone could recognize the logo on his sweatshirt. It appears to be a US flag with something or someone standing in front of it. The standing 'whatever' resembles a person with an outstretched arm. It appears mass produced, not one of a kind; perhaps someone will recognize and identify the source so its meaning (if any) can be clarified. There is also a small white logo on his dark bill cap, not identifiable. 

I find the following confusing (and unexplained). The rifle was found "in the woods," the person pictured is carrying no rifle. Regular hunting rifles don't knock down into small concealable packages and can't be concealed under anything smaller than a topcoat. 

Do we know if the video is from before or after the shooting? If before, it could be the shooter en route to join up with a rooftop prepositioned rifle. 

If this is the shooter fleeing the campus, how did the rifle get to the woods since the pictured person isn't carrying it? An accomplice? I am almost ready to conclude at least one of these two finds has nothing to do with the shooting. 

I find hard to imagine someone who hated Charlie Kirk would wear a US flag logo on their sweats. Those who hate MAGA are more likely to burn our flag than wear it.

The rifle with spent cartridge and trans messages looks more certain than a kid wearing dark clothes that would attract no attention on campus. Especially if ballistics can show the bullet that killed Kirk was from that rifle.

Afterthought: The trans messages could relate the Kirk shooting to the Annuciantion shooting in Minneapolis. Or it might be a deliberate red herring to confuse law enforcement. 

Second Afterthought: An assault rifle ban could not have prevented this targeted killing.
