A Mauser .30-06 caliber bolt-action rifle has been recovered in a wooded area and has been alleged to be the rifle used in the Charlie Kirk killing.
The FBI also released two photographs of the suspect. They say that they also have video but declined to release that video to the public.
One has to wonder how someone got from the campus to the wooded area carrying a rifle even if the rifle was wrapped in something. The two photographs don't show the suspect carrying anything.
This shooting has apparently totally eclipsed the anniversary of 911 and the school shooting in Colorado which left three teenagers in critical condition.
I have confirmed that Kirk did indeed say something to the effect of having the 2nd Amendment is worth some gun deaths each year. I guess he always figured that it would be someone else doing the dying.
On the canopy that Kirk was used at the Utah event are two large "Prove Me Wrong" challenges.
This is one of the things that I had a problem with. Epistemology doesn't work that way. The burden of proof is on the individual making the claim. It's not up to someone to demonstrate that your claim is false. It's up to the person making the claim to present sufficient evidence for someone to justify accepting the claim as probably true.
If that wasn't the case then we would have to believe in all sorts of absurd, and even contradictory, claims until someone demonstrated that they were false.
A claim presented without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
