Charlie Kirk Assassination – Was it a security fail? Could cheap FPV drones monitoring the rooftops have saved Kirk's life?
Bereits kurz nach dem tragischen Attentat auf den konservativen Aktivisten Charlie Kirk hat Social Media und alternative Medien das Attentat Frame by Frame analysiert und den Tathergang rekonstruiert.
Anscheinend befand sich der Schütze etwa 200 Yard (180 Meter) auf einem Dach eines nahegelegenen Gebäudes und hatte von dort eine direkte Schusslinie auf das Podium von Kirk.
Waffen-Experten gehen davon aus, dass so ein Schuss für einen geübten Schützen mit dem richtigen Equipment bei günstigen Windbedingungen durchaus möglich ist. Vor allem da sich Kirk auf der Bühne kaum bewegt und sitzend geantwortet hat. Ganz einfach ist ein gezielter Headshot mit nur einem Schuss aber auch nicht.
Paramount Tactical auf YouTube denkt, dass Kirk eine kugelsichere Platte unter seinem T-Shirt getragen haben könnte und diese eigentlich ungünstig getroffen wurde und das Projektil in den Hals reflektierte.
Die wichtigere Frage ist aber, ob die Bühne und Kirk von seinem eigenen Security-Team und dem Sicherheitsbehörden der Utah Valley University in Orem ausreichend geschützt wurde.
Kirk war in den USA bereits so etwas wie eine Polit-Celebrity, in den Medien und vor allem im Internet sehr bekannt, und wurde auch von Forbes in der Liste 30 unter 30 gefeatured.
Wie konnte der Schütze unbemerkt auf das Dach nahe der Bühne klettern und von dort mit einer Langwaffe agieren und ungehindert flüchten?
In der heutigen Zeit hätten ein paar billige FPV-Drohnen die gesamte Szene und sämtliche Dächer effektiv überwachen können.
War es wieder ein Security Fail? Was denkt ihr? Hätten billige Drohnen Kirks Leben gerettet?

Shortly after the tragic assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, social media and alternative media analyzed the assassination frame by frame and reconstructed the course of events.
Apparently, the shooter was located about 200 yards (180 meters) away on the roof of a nearby building and had a direct line of sight to Kirk's podium from there.
Weapons experts believe that such a shot is entirely possible for a skilled shooter with the right equipment and favorable wind conditions. This is especially true since Kirk hardly moved on stage and answered questions while seated. However, a targeted headshot with only one shot is not that easy to achieve.
Paramount Tactical on YouTube thinks that Kirk may have been wearing a bulletproof plate under his T-shirt, which was actually hit at an unfavorable angle and caused the projectile to deflect into his neck.
The more important question, however, is whether the stage and Kirk were adequately protected by his own security team and the security authorities at Utah Valley University in Orem.
Kirk was already something of a political celebrity in the US, well known in the media and especially on the internet, and was also featured in Forbes' 30 Under 30 list.
How was the shooter able to climb onto the roof near the stage unnoticed, fire a long-range weapon from there, and escape unhindered?
Nowadays, a few inexpensive FPV drones could have effectively monitored the entire scene and all nearby roofs.
Was it another security failure? What do you think? Would inexpensive drones have saved Kirk's life?
I think he had the best security that he could have. However, they can't monitor everything, and I don't think the drones would have changed that result much. I guess there could be a chance that it could have saved him. Unfortunately, I just think that Kirk travels too much, and getting the best security in all venues would be hard.
Das könnte auch ein andere Schütze mit einer Smartphone- Pistole gewesen sein. Leider finde ich das Video gerade nicht.
Nachtrag
Bei dieser ganzen Tragödie, und das ist es, erstens für die Angehörigen, die ja auch anwesend waren, und zweitens für den offenen Diskurs!
Das Netz ist voll von x videos und den dazu gehörigen Verschwörungen.
Ob die beiden Sicherheitsmänner dem Schützen taktische Zeichen gaben, zeigen einige davon, dann ein Schütze direkt vor ihm , der schießt unter dem Arm durch, oder war es ein manipuliertes Mikrofon, das inter dem Hemd. Und was ist mit dem Ring?Der wechselt den Finger!
Und dann das öffentliche Hetzen öffentlicher Journalisten...
Was ist das nur für eine Welt geworden
Surveilance drones should become a must use tool for all security systems.
The last people I would want ensuring my safety if I were high profile is school security in the US. The most incompetent people in the US run our schools and are incapable of getting a handle on these problems.
Mir fällt viel mehr die Methode in den Sinn: Bestrafe einen, erziehe viele.
If there is will, there is always a way to achieve a goal.
If we gotta protect heavily any politician talking, the we will need an army to protect them though...

It's a tragedy, but I'm not sure what the cause of the failure was or what to think about it.
It was a huge security failure with only six police present for security. No rooftops were checked. And even if he were wearing armor it likely wouldn't haven stopped a rifle round. But the shot is very doable with a decent rifle and experience, it's actually a pretty easy shot. He was probably aiming for his head but failed to calculate for gravity properly and struck his neck. What a horrific thing to have happen... There is no excuse for cold blooded murder.
The police chief and the university president should both be fired for their astronomical failure to protect a high profile person on campus. A simple drone checking rooftops would have surely improved the odds of the police stopping this lunatic.
I see it as total failure of security. How does someone get a clear rooftop position at a public event without being noticed? Drones or not, it's a serious oversight that shouldn’t happen with such a high profile person like Charlie.
Well, no matter how formidable our security outfit could be, we can't be perfect all the time. There's that human factor which could make things go awry. We're humans after all, not perfect beings in everything.
I think, we should put a lot of effort to configure our minds to know what is evil, and avoid it. If the killer of Kirk had believed he was commiting an evil act, and believed it was wrong, he was unlikely to have done what he did.
That was a really scary situation, and the security gaps are clear. Using affordable FPV drones for better monitoring sounds like a smart idea. Maybe tech like this can really help prevent such attacks in the future.

Come get MOONed!
I think implementing drones for security will become helpful
