The federal investigation into the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk has yet to find a link between the alleged shooter, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, and left-wing groups on which President Donald Trump and his administration have pledged to crack down after the killing, three sources familiar with the probe told NBC News.
One person familiar with the federal investigation said that “thus far, there is no evidence connecting the suspect with any left-wing groups.”
“Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive,” this person continued.
Yes, since it was pretty obviously wrong. I didn’t do the calculation.
“I can do basic math” and “it was pretty obviously wrong” are goofy things to say if you didn’t do the calculation in the first place, lol.
Not really. For it to be less than 5% the total has to be a least 20x. You don’t need exact numbers to see the total isn’t close to 1k.
Nothing is actually calculated unless you want to count adding 3+2+2+1+1, rounding the big categories up. And 50x20, now that I think about it.

Neat trick! It’s always nice to find someone online who’s more autistic than I am : )
Ehh, probably more a habit because of my job, software developer. We generally don’t care about specific amounts. We care about orders of magnitude. So it’s usually just very rough estimates.
Believe it or not, we sometimes have trainings to help teach people how to do estimates for things that are basically unknowable. Like, how many steps every participant in a race took (think Boston Marathon), or how many doors are in a city.
