I try extremely hard to jump to conspiracy theories, but this does just smell wrong. But the raw evil of this organization makes me doubt the obvious conspiracy for a simple reason, if you were staging this, you'd actually kill ICE agents. It's a far more effective narrative and if you are going to deliberately stage something like this, why half-ass it?
My gut says that if there is a conspiracy it's that the anti-ICE bullets have nothing to do with the shooting. Kash just tweeted them out though the investigation is on going. Eventually they will find that the anti-ICE bullets have nothing to do with it and it's a mix-up. A quiet clarification will take place but by that point the narrative will already out there.
I kind of rolled my eyes on people bending over backwards on the Tyler Robinson stuff, but I do agree that it doesn't pass the smell test for me (initially). Not saying it's a false flag or whatever, but there's like no other information to go on and it's hard to say/probably too soon to assume why this person did what they did given the dissonance between the act and the message on the bullets. Unless they just straight up didn't care/couldn't tell who they were shooting at.
The Tyler Robinson stuff seems to be marking an acceleration in political violence, which should be worrying regardless of what side you're on. People also joke about comparing the Charlie Kirk stuff to 9/11, but I do worry that we'll see a significant impact on freedoms ala the Patriot Act due to such a high profile killing/subsequent string of killings.
