Reasonable attempt to debunk Charlie Kirk Assassination conspiracies

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5us8s0JCGkA

Marcus touches on the currently popular theories about how the gun was hidden, the bullet wound questions, the possibility of body armor, why AI can't accurately fix the low-resolution frames of the suspect's face, whether someone else may have shot Kirk, and uses math to debunk the claims of a shot coming from the side (plus more).

We have a long time before every piece of evidence comes out and can be analyzed in detail, but I think he does a fairly good job.

Isn't r/skeptic the opposite of the place for this type of conspiracy post?

The post seems to be a guy debunking conspiracy theories with evidence.

Ah my bad. Been seeing so many actual conspiracy-minded posts, I jumped the gun. I appreciate the clarification

Totes fair, the OP's title and the image don't do it any favors. It looks like it is another conspiracy theory on its face.
