Yeah what the fuck. Just like Luigi's alleged engravings. It doesnt make any sense beyond an emotional response. Why take the time to engrave something no one will see? Its going faster than the speed of sound.
Typically you would engrave the casing. That goes nowhere near the target.
So yeah.
Then to the same degree, why engrave the evidence to make it easier to track? It still doesnt make sense.
I'm not saying this is the case, but it is very possible that if this person purchased the rifle legally, they believe that the purchase will be traceable back to them and that they will almost certainly be caught. So they could have acted with the mindset that they would be throwing away their own life.
easier to track
Sounds like a feature, not a bug. What better way to stage a false flag operation?
So this line of reasoning is a trap. People do dumb ass shit all the time for emotional reasons, including criminals. In fact, people doing dumb ass shit is so reliable that police investigative procedures are almost designed around it.
Kurt Cobain wants to know how to add a community comment
Satanic Panic is back
Breaking News: the entire text of The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood was found to be engraved on bullet casings left at the scene, according to a source. So we should ban that book from all schools, fr fr.
In related news, doctors were amazed they kept pulling books and scrolls from the body, placed there by the bullets.
“It’s amazing” said the orange as quoted by the wsj, “apparently books like this can kill. I’m sure he could have survived the wound without the additional poisoning.”
In response to this, reaction forces were posed to raid the libraries of all elementary schools within the washington dc area
Not seeing other outlets report this. So yeah I'm skeptical.
The trashier ones reported on it, but then they're not on the front page anymore.
Total BS. Engraving on a small, curved surface, legibly is hard as hell. Then that bullet is going to get grooved in a rifled barrel, and most likely deform or fragment on impact.
We should probably be talking about how Trump used a fucking AI video to address Charlie Kirk's death. There's a good chance Trump is doing this as a false flag
False flag is exactly what this is.
I’d be shocked if this wasn’t a decision directly from Trump and his magat minions they follow him around to distract from Epstein and further slide America in the hell hole of fascism that it’s facing.
Hurry up Americans. You won’t have an America soon at this rate.
Line item number 2.
No way in fuck they purposely had Kirk assassinated.
- His job as a propagandist / hate spreader is way too important and influential to stop
- they could’ve martyred a similarly famous, but less influential, republican and gotten the same response
- they’re going to go forward with their plan- they don’t need an excuse
- this happened in a red state, why wouldn’t they pick a blue state?
- I really don’t think Epstein files matter that much for republicans. A video could come out of Trump raping a child and it would be chalked up to ai and they wouldn’t believe it
- the news cycle is so short- this won’t remain a hot topic for a long amount of time
It’s a convenient distraction, sure, but it’s been proven time and time again that they don’t need distractions to carry out policy. If there’s any conspiracy to be had, it would be surrounding the (relatively) unanimous rhetoric that his death was a tragedy. When kids die in Gaza everyday, a regular citizen is shot, or someone kills themselves because of financial strain we don’t debate the morals of their unjust death. However when a famous white man is killed he isn’t just a statistic but an example of how awful people can be.
I doubt it too, but you are exaggerating this man's importance and influence to an absurd degree. He'll be replaced by another grifter in weeks.
I think Kirk was a major reason for an uptick in republican youth voters because he was so famous on social media. I’ve noticed young men my age, who vote democrat, like a reel featuring Charlie Kirk because he “owned a silly lib” in an amusing way. His job was touring college campuses- upon invitation from college students- to spread hate and try to convince young people that their politics and identity were wrong.
I would compare him to Andrew Tate because they spread a relatively similar sermon of hate and individualism, but Tate isn’t a political activist. He doesn’t bring people to the polls like a Charlie Kirk can. Another comparison would be Trump, but Trump can never relate to the youth because he’s still just an old man.
I agree he’ll get replaced and this won’t really slow down the machine, but the man had quite the impact on young people.
Yeah, agree. They could have offed Laura Loomer for a tenth of the price and worked just as much viral juice out of it.
Besides, i really don’t care, do u?
They're almost certainly saying bullet but meaning casing. But yes I have to say that it's pretty unlikely.
Sounds like they're saying the un-shot ammunition found with the rifle had the engravings. If I'm mistaken on that, could you please link to where they're saying bullet specifically?
Still, as someone who's tried to paint tea cups, have to agree, curved surfaces are a bitch to mark legibly (probably harder on the smaller surface of a bullet casing).
No good marksman is carving anything on a bullet or casing. You want it to work. Carving the bullet means changing the ballistics, carving the casing means potentially making the round not chamber or having a misfire from a busted casing.
Be careful about spreading the AI story. I view it as debunked unless you’ve got something better than this exchange:
seems like this wasnt even an accurate report

transgender and antifascist ideology
transgender ... ideology
[Squidward voice, but angrier] NO, PATRICK, TRANSGENDER IS NOT AN IDEOLOGY... PREGNANT IS NOT AN IDEOLOGY EITHER.
I hope a trans person did shoot him and I hope they get away with it. Kirk made his living by terrorizing and dehumanizing queer folks and I’m happy he finally got to the FO stage. Hopefully seeing daddy get blown away will ensure his kid doesn’t grow up to be as bigoted and the lesson is learned.
I don't. I hope it was a MAGA nutjob or similar so the administration doesn't get a good boogeyman
Also fishy that Trump announced his death and made an AI video of himself. How long does it take to create an AI video like that?
It's just interpolation, so probably all of 5 minutes. There's enough misinformation going around, let's not keep spreading the AI video nonsense.
Wait when did they find the weapon?? Last I heard they didn't have the weapon and the 2 people they arrested were the wrong guy. So it sounds like the shooter didn't leave the gun behind, so I would expect them to only get the weapon if they got the shooter unless I missed something between yesterday and today.
Edit: Found the update that I missed from the FBI this morning, they apparently found the weapon in a "wooded area", so shooter still unknown
Recent reports indicate a bolt action rifle was found wrapped in a towel in the woods, one empty casing in the chamber, three more live rounds in the mag.
Ideology: fascism is bad, transgender people should have equal rights.
Not ideology: let's kill everybody that doesn't conform to our narrow minded idea of society.
Trans-antifascists is something I can support
“antifacsist ideology”?
So, what…an American Flag? Right? Right…?
Yeah, what is antifascist ideology? Like, equal rights, being nice,... That kind of stuff?
And transgender ideology? What is that? To be nice to transgender people?
Probably didn't even find the rifle responsible. More reason to believe it was a setup.
Well there you go. Got the idiot's hate pointed in the right direction and don't have to give up the shooter. Oh and Trump was an Epstein informant.
