Claims that a bullet test cleared the Charlie Kirk suspect are misleading - Poynter

When the results of a bullet fragment analysis come back as 'inconclusive,' that does not mean that the rifle did not fire the bullet. There just aren't enough marks on the fragment to make a conclusion one way or the other as to whether the bullet fragment was fired by the particular rifle.

Conservatives Are Terrified That People Like Me Are Buying Guns Now. Maybe They Should Be.

The scene was chaotic and joyful, with several young kids running around and scattering croissant crumbs on our sofa while their parents attempted adult conversation over mimosas. Inevitably, the moment arrived when a child knocked over a drink on our coffee table. It was an old West Elm design with a panel on top and a storage area underneath. The spilled beverage was dripping into the seams, so a crowd of parents rushed to open the table and mop up the liquid pooling within.

On January 23, 2016, Donald Trump notoriously declared, "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters." That statement was understood at the time as a metaphorical expression of the depth of Republican voters' commitment to him. Ten years and one day later, his administration's agents shot a disarmed man on the street in full view of the public. Perhaps we should have taken him not only seriously but also literally.
