‘Hey, Fascist! Catch!’ Utah Governor Reveals What Charlie Kirk Shooter Engraved On Bullet Casings
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.
Everyone saying this has no idea what a groyper is. But I am numb to caring at this point. Every last American wants to feel like they know something special and unique about every notable event.
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".
I'm curious if they spelled it out or just said the word owo
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.
I think Morty from Rick and Morty makes that face quite often if you want an animated rendition lol
*getting to say that at....
Loving how this headline makes it seem like engraving bullets is some sort of rite of passage for gun owners.
"Family member" narc'ed.
Important lesson everyone, listen up: someone will always narc. It's a surveillance society in a heavily propagandized world. Your right to remain silent is all you get.
he called his dad and confessed. his dad advised him to turn himself in. he said he'd rather commit suicide. his dad called his youth pastor to talk him down, who called the US marshals to secure him. I feel bad for the dad.. that's got to be a genuinely horrible situation to navigate.
Not really.
The dad caused the problem when he suggested his son turn himself in like a bitch and a pussy.
Law enforcement are just state-sponsored goons at this point. They exist to "keep order," not protect innocents.
Youth pastor calling the marshals man. Cold.
Would Jesus narc on you? Friend, he would not. Mostly because he didn't exist but still. As a character that is not consistent.
An increasingly large number of people don't care if they get caught afterwards.
That makes sense. I was just thinking about the plan ally these people have. Shooting someone like this is a bad idea. If your plan is shoot and run, they are going to have cameras. Do something remote where you can first run to another country and the "shoot", or play the plausible deniability card and do get caught.
"my drone malfunctioned while varying a very heavy camera and it just fell on him" is more believable than "well I was just standing there with my rifle, and when I saw what happened through my scope I jumped from a roof and ran because I was afraid of getting blamed for it"
That’s a super-weird metric, but okay.
How does that even get counted?
Now we'll see if they pay the bounty.
$100,000 bounty I’d give up my piece-of-shit cousin
I would not. Not even for ypur cousin, especially not for popping some douchelord.
I'd give up my just cousin for free if he'd gone on Jan 6.
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.
Don’t forget that the Wall Street Journal ran with this news without bothering to check. Love those clicks!
Hire the handicapped ....
Reminder that Ground news exists entirely to push a "both sides" narrative in a world where right wing media openly seeks to push "alternative facts" and big lies.
Well, yes, I have a similar view of anything that makes politics into a balance between "left" and "right". Even to treat them as two ends of the same line overly elevates the right, which is just a bunch of base impulses, toxic personality defects, resentments, lies and scams dressed up as a political ideology. So I agree with your point and I don't treat Ground News as a map of truth, but I do find it handy for getting a quick overview of what many news websites are saying and how the right is spinning things.
Know your enemy. I feel like your chances of helping deprogram someone are higher if you know what bullshit they're being fed. Then again I'm batting zero so who knows
did Ground News report that as fact? journalism 101: when you report on a rumor, clearly mark it as a rumor. or just don't report rumors in the first place.
Ground News is a news aggregator that publishes links to other sites' news pages. It doesn't really have editorial content of its own, though it does have some AI summaries which should be treated with the appropriate mistrust.
Forgot to mention your promo code.
Hey can someone tell me what the fuck "transgender ideology" means? Because to me that phrase makes absolutely zero sense
Ahh Trump cleared that up today. "Transgender for everybody," it's one of the left's demands. I guess it's like abortions on demand, but like, everybody is given a gift bag of HRT at their next PCP visit. Here's some estrogen and some narcan, go slay in today's world girl.
Just right-wing drivel to discredit a minority they don't understand. There's not much to understand beyond that because them they don't understand it themselves.
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.
Honestly though, it's reasonable for them to think it was trans related, considering Charlie's rhetoric - we can't expect the FBI to know what bullets looks like.
It's when they tell you to install Linux and put a lift kit on your 01 Tacoma.
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
The FBI director is mistaken, no nazis in Valhalla.
"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.
He did not seriously say the valhalla line, did he? Please tell me that was actual satire?
As if Valhalla would open its doors to these pussies.
FBI director is a nutcase
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.
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?
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
When did "mind your own fucking business" become an ideology?
That's some pretty impressive engraving.
Doubt. You cant trust anything these cunts say
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.
This says that the "sequence of arrows" was interpreted as a transgender symbol.
Now we know that the sequence of arrows was "up, right, down, down, down"
...that's the strategem code for the 500kg bomb in helldivers 2.
The ATF interpreted a video game reference as a transgender symbol...
Edit: another claim I'm seeing, quote from snopes:
Some users online claimed officials had misinterpreted "TRN," an engraving found on ammunition produced by Turan Ammunition, a Turkish company, as "transgender ideology."
This is a more logical mistake to make but is also an embarrassing and irresponsible mistake from the ATF if true.
The ATF interpreted
the atf interpreted a 14 inch shoelace with a loop in it as an automatic rifle. they can suck any one of my defective buttholes
embarrassing and irresponsible mistake from the ATF
Oh that's kinda been their MO for as long as I can remember. It's kinda their motto. Instead of educating anyone, they routinely do things like try to preach the horrific danger of detachable magazines as the dork tries to insert it backwards.
It's also a straight up meme that they'll conduct some half assed raid where they shoot someone's dog and go "Whoops. Wrong address."
They know less about firearms than your average airsofter or tactical gamer, but they're an authoritarian arm on "regulating" the things so they're usually the first to jump to wild, illiterate conclusions.
I think socialist gun owners and insufferably right wing gun nuts could probably high five over beers when it comes to their mutual sheer lack of respect for the ATF. Lol
I'm surprised they didn't interpret the three arrows as antifa, they're so fucking incompetent.
Ah and here I was hoping for the konami code
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.
How was it engraved? Did the guy own some sort of engraving rig? How did he fit all this text on a bullet?
They say "casings" but they said that there was only one shot? I am confused.
I'm assuming they found other rounds that were engraved.
yeah the one was really long.
Pics or it didn’t happen
This statement is outdated. Anyone can produce a picture of anything...
Real pics or it didn’t happen
Bullshit
Here we fucking go
So this suggests they probably were on the left or at least wanted people to think that.
No, but your reply suggests that you might be a bigot.
What a weird thing to say. How was anything I wrote bigoted?
Fuckin' lawl
"Did it for the lulz" old meme checks out.
