Kinda like this, Charlie?

So I was digging through the National Archives FBI files on MLK's assassination, including additional records released on July 21, 2025, and came across some interesting similarities to Charlie Kirk's case. To clarify, the assassination and many of the allegations have been public for decades. It's the additional FBI records that were released in 2025. MLK - 1968 .30-06 caliber rifle James Earl Ray drove a white Ford Mustang Fatal bullet couldn't be conclusively matched to the recovered rifle Conflicting vehicle sightings and a questionable radio broadcast Ray pleaded guilty, then recanted His wife, Coretta Scott King, and their children questioned Ray's guilt and demanded an independent investigation Charlie Kirk - 2025 .30-06 caliber rifle Tyler Robinson drove a Dodge Challenger ATF bullet comparison was inconclusive Questions surrounding vehicle sightings near UVU UVU's independent review documented serious security failures Here's what really caught my attention. Coretta Scott King didn't just question the official investigation. She believed her husband had been killed as part of a conspiracy involving the Mafia and local, state, and federal government agencies. And she had reasons for distrusting the FBI. Under J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI had spent years surveilling MLK, wiretapping him, trying to discredit him, and actively attempting to destroy his reputation. This wasn't speculation. It's documented. Then there were allegations involving Loyd Jowers, a Memphis restaurant owner who claimed he'd been paid to help arrange the assassination, along with questions about witnesses, evidence, and whether James Earl Ray had been framed. Coretta and her children believed evidence had been ignored or inadequately investigated. They did not trust the FBI or the government agencies they suspected of involvement to investigate themselves. They wanted an independent commission with subpoena powers. In fact, when Attorney General Janet Reno authorized another inquiry in 1998, the FBI was excluded because of the family's distrust of the bureau. In 1999, a civil jury concluded that MLK's assassination involved a conspiracy, including government agencies. The DOJ later disputed those findings. Now look at Charlie Kirk. We have an independent review documenting serious security failures at UVU, but that's not the same as an independent reinvestigation into who was responsible for the assassination. I'm not saying these two assassinations are connected or that Tyler Robinson has been proven to be a patsy. But two assassinations, the same rifle caliber, inconclusive bullet comparisons, vehicles central to both investigations, and questions surrounding the evidence? It's an interesting rabbit hole. And what stands out to me just as much as the similarities is the difference in how the families publicly approached the investigations. Coretta Scott King didn't just ask for answers. She questioned whether the very agencies investigating her husband's murder could be trusted to tell the truth. She wanted them investigated, too.
