    Inscriptions on a fired casing read: “notices bulges” capital “O-W-O what’s this?”

    Imagine having to say that at a press conference.

      So to sum up, Charlie Kirk was downplaying gun violence in the US, and using a racist dogwhistle to do so, WHILE standing under a giant fucking “prove me wrong” banner, when he was shot with a bullet labeled “OWO what’s this?” by a Mormon cop’s kid from Utah (ie, whiter than raisins in potato salad).

      That is an actual fucking series of events that actually fucking happened. We’ve gone past “the onion is reality” to “this would be too on the nose if it was an onion article and yet it’s somehow reality”.

    New article suggests the shooter was from a MAGA family, and even had a note about what kind of messages they planned to engrave they had shared on Discord.

        Unlikely. His motivation was to oppose Charlie Kirk from “spreading hate.” That group’s objective would have been the opposite. He was radicalized by the far left.

                Your insults remind me of toddler trying to argue. You should let someone more intelligent represent your position. Someone who speaks well and can use more than a childish insult. Leftists do have good points but you should never be the one to try to represent them.

                  You are not worth meeting on what you consider to be even ground. You showed back up after a week of silence to pat yourself on the back. Only a childish moron tries to communicate in such a manner, so that’s how I’m treating you.

    The other inscriptions on the fired casings:

    “notices bulges”

    capital “O-W-O what’s this?”

    Inscriptions on the three unfired casings:

    “hey fascist!” “catch!” Up arrow symbol, right arrow symbol, and three down arrow symbols.

    “Oh Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao, Ciao, Ciao.”

    “If you read this, you are gay LMAO.”

    Also:

    A Wall Street Journal report, citing an ATF bulletin, had previously said the casings were “engraved with expressions of transgender and antifascist ideology.” The purported transgender symbols were later understood to relate to markings identifying the manufacturer.

        They found the gun, no? So maybe they found the ammo as well

      Is it at all possible that they were interpreting the “bulges” thing as trans related? Not to say that it is, but it seems more likely than the TRN thing.
