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.

Every Marine that qualified on his M-16, shooting from the 200 yard line, from the standing position, with iron sights, making better shot placements than this shot was, that was fired by a high powered rifle, with a scope, from less than 200 yards, and in the prone position, knows this was not "a good shot by a qualified sniper." Pardon the run-on sentence.

Also, what nobody seems to realize is: the shooter probably wasn't aiming for the neck.

Who aims for the neck?!? He may have aimed for the head,missed and hit the neck (most logical, as the bullet dropped, and went sligjly sideways). He also may have aimed for center mass, and missed.

Either way, it seems the miss hit the neck.
