make up your mind breh
and i asked for thoughts, stated multiple times that i'm not 100% behind this theory
Then you should have picked a more believable theory.
There are three main reasons you run a false flag. Because you need to push public opinion, because you need an excuse in international circles, or because you just want someone/something dead.
Russia already controls public opinion on their own just fine, there's nothing to push international circles on here (because he was a lone actor so they have no one to blame), and if they wanted the Russian ambassador dead, they have a hundred ways to do that without creating such a high-profile scenario and burning an asset.
If you want a believable theory, then you should have said the assassination was real but the Turkish government was behind it. Then at least you could find believable motive and an excuse for why they would have done it this way.
And that's all assuming they actually killed him, which would be far more likely. To fake the killing of a high-profile figure (meaning that guy has to disappear for the rest of his life) takes it to a whole different level of ridiculousness. For most prideful semi-public figures like this, forcing them to be removed from all their friends, family, and everyone who treats them like they're important is as bad as death. Where is the ambassador hiding now? Why did he agree to it? Are his friends and family in on it? Why go to all that effort to fake it (making it ten times more difficult to pull off) and keep the ambassador alive - because Russia just cares that much for human life? And for what benefit?
when i see a picture perfect assassination
He shot the guy. That's not particularly hard for any competent actor. And an ambassador isn't the world's most highly-protected target.
in an isolated area with very few people, by a shooter who just happened to finagle his way into that exclusive position,
He's a cop in a country with plenty of corruption. To assume that a cop (especially well-dressed to look the part of personal security) wouldn't be able to get himself into a medium-level event in a country where bribes go a long way is ridiculous. Even if his police ID alone didn't get him into event, then he just would have needed to pay off a few of the right security figures and make some excuse for why you need to be there., especially if they know him already, and they assume it won't come back to haunt them because he's a cop and not some random low-life.
The reports say that the museum didn't even increase security more than usual beyond the metal detectors - which the cop bypassed with his police ID.
a cameraman who supposedly decided to stay right in front of the shooter cause he's a dedicated journalist,
Because he wanted to be famous. Not every cameraman would have done it, but this is a dream opportunity - of course some cameramen have the balls to pull through. And what was his option? It was a freaking art gallery - was he going to curl up in a fetal position or hide behind a painting?
a victim who died later in the hospital despite having 9 shots unloaded into his back
You don't die from the combined weight of the lead in your back. People survive worse shootings all the time. Hell, Abe Lincoln was shot in the fukking head in an era with bootleg medical technology and didn't die until the next morning. Bullet wounds only mean instant death if they get you in very specific places - without a direct heart or brain shot, or nailing just the right artery, you've got a better shot of lasting a few minutes while the bleeding/lung work takes it's toll than of dying right there on the spot.
(not saying anything about no bloodalthough collar popped as if an air powered device was triggered

These are honestly the best parts of conspiracy theories. What do you mean "as if an air powered device was triggered"? You're acting like you have experience of watching air powered devices being triggered and then seeing collars pop in response. This is just a completely made-up part of the conspiracy - there's no connection to anything in reality.
no visible hole or blood from "exit wound" on white shirt)
A bit confused here - they were both wearing dark suits. And you could see blood on both of them. I already explained in the other post why blood/exit wounds aren't always going to be visible at the exact moment of shooting in these circumstances. What's the exact point that you're complaining about the lack of blodd/exit wound visible?
Which one of these photos do you have issue with?
and then they cart out an empty casket
Empty casket? It was an open casket.
TV footage showed Karlov's body lying in an open casket in the building's marble-clad lobby flanked by a uniformed honour guard as mourners, including Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, approached to lay flowers.
Vladimir Putin pays his respects as Russia lays to rest murdered Turkey envoy Andrei Karlov with full honours
To have supposedly "faked" an open casket funeral, and then you're going to claim to have exposed the fake because they used an empty casket at some other time...that's just going beyond ridiculous. It's taking the flimsiest evidence to claim that they pulled off a perfect, extremely difficult operation
but it's too crazy to even talk aboutalright

Nah, you just need to think it through better
,
although collar popped as if an air powered device was triggered
You never heard of tripods bruh...theres this three legged invention that holds up heavy expensive news cameras..some are even motorized so the editor can turn the camera
Not sure how far you got with your med school but the heart being damaged or stopping doesnt mean immediate death...quite a few people survive that



open casket..Putin must have read this thread
