A Wall Street Journal report, citing an ATF bulletin, had previously said the casings were “engraved with expressions of transgender and antifascist ideology.” The transgender symbols were later understood to relate to markings identifying the manufacturer.
And a third unfired case read: “If you read this, you are gay LMAO.”
FBI director concludes speech with “Rest now, my brother, we have the watch, and I’ll see you at Valhalla”
Reality is satire
He did not seriously say the valhalla line, did he? Please tell me that was actual satire?
“I’ll see you in Valhalla”
Obvious Nazi dogwhistle is obvious.
Nazis are obsessed with Norse mythology.
This is true and as I am familiar with Norse mythology neither of them are eligible to go there.
A lot of the far right in fact.
Who is this trans-ideology ammunition manufacturer?
Is trans ideology even a thing? I thought it was just people trying to live authentic lives?
Is trans ideology even a thing?
That’s called a Linux subreddit
I thought it was just people trying to live authentic lives?
It is
But fascists are trying to genocide us and will use any tool available to them
It should also be noted that “transgender ideology” is a term coined for and used in anti-trans political messaging to falsely equate identity with politics, which is a way to frame transgender identity as a political choice rather than an innate identity.
Probably Turan - you can see that “TRN” is stamped onto their bullets.
FBI director is a nutcase
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”.
this is very besides the point, but “whiter than raisins”?? i’m scared to ask, but how white are your raisins, americans?
edit: after further research, it seems like american raisins are not white either, in which case, wtf is this sayingNot whiter than raisins, whiter than “[putting] raisins in potato salad.” It’s a reference to cooking. Also, I’ve never seen anyone do thay and I’m from the US south, so…pretty white I guess.
I’d rather sandpaper a crocodile’s asshole in a phone booth
They said “whiter than raisins in potato salad.” It’s a meme saying that white people put raisins in potato salad.
There’s a book by street lit author Quan Millz called Becky Put Raisins in the Potato Salad. This is actually where I heard about it and I was like “ew! Raisins in potato salad??”
I’ve never seen a potato salad with raisins in it. Sounds gross.
But… What is “O-W-O”?
It’s in the same family as UwU
It’s supposed to be a face. Don’t know the origin but it got popular through text roleplay shit, though folks say it phonetically now too.
And a third unfired case read: “If you read this, you are gay LMAO.”
Fuckin’ lawl
“Did it for the lulz” old meme checks out.
Until it appears in court, it’s not evidence, it’s speculation or lies.
I opened up Ground News today and the mainstream news sources are just full of this statement that the bullets were “engraved with transgender ideology.” Someone has been making very sure this falsehood is the message all the journalists take away and report. And now it has been all over the news throughout the day.
It’s horrible seeing the fascists lie and lie to set up trans people as villains and enemies.
And what’s with this “anti-fascist ideology” thing? Remember before 2015 when anti-fascist ideology was just the default and the baseline for being even a half-decent person?
Anti-fascist ideology
Damned straight.
Can we find the person who, for no apparent reason, interpreted manufacturers markings as apparent ‘trans ideology’ and ask him wtf that was supposed to accomplish? I mean if you don’t know what some markings mean, aside from blatant bias is there any possible way to get to ‘trans ideology’ from manufacturers markings? Are they using male/female icons? Emojis? Printing them in rainbow colors?
When did “mind your own fucking business” become an ideology?
EDIT: the misinterpretation may actually be a series of arrows related to a Helldivers 2 move. Up, right, down, down, down. There is an anti fascist icon of three downward arrows. I’m guessing the idiots thought the other two arrows looked like those astrological gender icons and decided that must mean trans somehow.
TRN. It’s the manufacturers code for a Turkish company called Turan. That’s what I heard at any rate.
Identifying that as trans is just rank incompetence. Anyone that stupid would be fired in a sane world. Under our fascist regime, new FBI director incoming.
Anyone that stupid would be fired in a sane world.
Kash fired every above that intelligence level. Sycophants and dipshits only from now on.
It sounds like someone had a theory and Patel went off before any research could be done. Not to defend the fbi but it sounds like they did what they are supposed to it’s Patel who keeps fucking up
I’m not a gun person but my understanding is that no one who’s looked at bullets could mistake a manufacturer’s imprint. Where it is and what it looks like preclude it being anything else. It would be like confusing a barcode for a brandname.
Writing with a marker is not engraving
How he managed to fit such long messages on a bullet?
Bullshit
That’s some pretty impressive engraving.
Pics or it didn’t happen
This statement is outdated. Anyone can produce a picture of anything…
Real pics or it didn’t happen
Hey can someone tell me what the fuck “transgender ideology” means? Because to me that phrase makes absolutely zero sense
“Transgender ideology” is the outrageous radical belief that transgender people are people and deserve to be able to live their lives.
TRN. That’s what was on the bullet. Which is a manufacturing mark.
Other things written on the bullets imply that the shooter idolizes Nick Fuentes, and is, in fact, somthing called a Groyper.
As a note, Nick Fuentes hated Charlie Kirk.
It’s when they tell you to install Linux and put a lift kit on your 01 Tacoma.
I’m trans and I’ve yet to have anyone explain it to me.
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.
Sorry, there were multiple fired casings?
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.
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.
Groyper.
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.
Who do you mean by far left?
Anybody even remotely left of Reagan.
Reagan the COMMUNIST?!?!
Wow, you must be so embarrassed.
Turns out I was right.
Did you call yourself an idiot at some point?
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.
Let’s update em: https://www.commondreams.org/news/charlie-kirk-2673989947
Turns out I was right.
The comments in the article have since been retracted; the source hadn’t talked to the shooter in years, and admitted they didn’t remember their relationship
But they were published nonetheless. I gotta admit that, should the writing on the casings be real, a MAGA would be highly unlikely to use the term “fascist.”
