This Week in the World Affairs Brief
THE CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION
Except for a few mainstream media commentators who kept accusing Kirk of hate speech, the entire nation is in shock over the targeted killing of this young conservative icon at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. When it first happened, most attendees and local reporters thought it was done by a shooter at close range with a handgun. An older man can be seen in a news video being hauled off by the arms and legs by police, but he turned out not to be involved. They apprehended another “person of interest” and had to release him too as he was obviously innocent. Finally, the 3 or 4 people who had shot videos of a person lying on a distant rooftop nearby on campus and filmed running away on the roof after the shooting, got their message to police and the narrative changed to the hunt for the rooftop sniper. But by that time, the figure seen in black was long gone as the police manhunt ensued. Utah, known as a conservative state, was outraged that this would happen here. While the University is embarrassed at its light security, the mainstream Republican Governor of Utah and local FBI have vowed to find the killer and bring him to justice. This week, I’ll cover the saga of the 2 day manhunt for the shooter and the news from President Trump that the “finally got him.” For a free one-time sample of the brief, along with options on how to subscribe, click on Request a Sample on the left.
