Amazon already has multiple books on Charlie Kirk

Maybe not the FBI but it sure seems someone knew ahead of time besides just the shooter. But you are correct, I probably should not blame the FBI. I honestly do not think someone could write even 29 pages, get it published even if self published and listed on Amazon all in one afternoon unless they were expecting it at least a couple of weeks ahead of time.

@Baby Yoda Robin can you chime in on this? Is writing and having even a badly written, short book available on Amazon the same day as the shooting even possible?

Just looked and it's only 29 pages, so more like a pamphlet. I've not published directly through Amazon before, but I imagine if you know the process you could upload and have something up same day.
My other thought was that it's too much of a coincidence and if I were FBI, I'd be looking at that author.
It currently has only a few reviews and all just one star. And only saw an ebook version, did not see anything in hard or paperback.

I thought that video of Erica Kirk speaking about her husbands’ death was so weird, forced and strange. I’m sorry if that is disrespectful, but I found her whole speech bizarre.
I liked some short clips of Charlie Kirk speaking that I’ve heard over time, but when watching some of his longer videos, he sounded super I mean extremely far right, like not of a man following Jesus far right, but trying to push a nationalism/beast system type agenda (made to sound like following Christ).
I don’t have the energy to post his videos and cite his exact works and why I think so, just that I believe we are living in such an extreme time of deception. Eyes on Jesus only. This guy wasn’t as great as people are making him out to be.

I can’t imagine how awful I would sound if I made a speech memorializing my husband 2 days after he was brutally killed before my eyes. I’d be a blubbering idiot, so there’s that.
I can’t speak to Charlie Kirk personally but I have heard him declare the Gospel and he was a brother in Christ. I don’t agree with all of his Theology but he knew the Gospel. That alone is upsetting that he was killed in that way. I also know that none of us are as great as we may seem but when we die, our loved ones will probably highlight the good memories they have of us.
Personally I found nothing strange or forced in his widow's speech, either in content or delivery. I thought she did a good job eulogizing her husband and proclaiming that his mission would continue. Charlie Kirk's secular mission was to proclaim the fact that all human beings have value, that ideas should be debated, that differences should be discussed with respect, and that violence and hatred must be rejected. His Christian mission was to proclaim the love of God for all people, that all men needed a savior and that Jesus Christ was the only mediator between God and man. When proclaiming the Gospel, he plainly stated that the only means of salvation was faith in Christ's finished work on the Cross. I found --and still find-- nothing objectionable in those two separate (but also related) missions.
The fact is that --with the exception of Jesus Christ-- every human being who has ever lived has been flawed. Psalm 14:3 and Romans 3:10-12, 23 tell us that there is none righteous, that all humans have sinned. And even when we seek to do righteous acts, they are flawed. As Isaiah 64:6 tells us, all of our righteousnesses are as filthy rags in God's sight. Every great man of the Bible, every one whom God used for His glory and His purposes, was imperfect ... some very greatly so. This was so no human could glory in God's Presence: God has always taken Jacobs and made them into Israels. It is amazing to watch and realize what can be done by an ordinary man or woman in the hands of an extraordinary God. Charlie Kirk was no different in nature than any other human being. What his flaws and weaknesses were, I do not know. Nor does any of us need to. They are irrelevant to the fact that God used him for His purposes. And, based on his confession of Christ as his Savior, Charlie is now in heaven ... safe, blessed and secure for all eternity. And the rest of us still here on this Earth would do well to follow his example and that of other faithful servants who serve God through love, respect, and absolute trust in Him.
