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.

Transgender ideology? Did they write UWU on the bullet?

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 88 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Linux kernel source code was engraved in the bullet

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.

[–] vzqq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 90 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Typically you would engrave the casing. That goes nowhere near the target.

So yeah.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 51 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (7 children)

Then to the same degree, why engrave the evidence to make it easier to track? It still doesnt make sense.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 1 month ago (16 children)

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.

"transgender ideology" is not a thing. That's the type of shit transphobes pull out of their ass when they're trying to attack trans folks

[–] Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 63 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I think transgender ideology is "we're human".

It's fucking wild that the Right can be opposed to human rights and anti-fascism and millions of people are somehow still gaslit in believing they're the good guys.

I can see something engraved like "uwu" be interpreted that way by MSM.

EDIT: CALLED IT! "Notices bulges OwO"

Can you believe, once upon a tine long long ago The Wall Street Journal actually had integrity in journalism.

Now it's a billionaire's plaything.

transgender and antifascist ideology

transgender ... ideology

[Squidward voice, but angrier] NO, PATRICK, TRANSGENDER IS NOT AN IDEOLOGY... PREGNANT IS NOT AN IDEOLOGY EITHER.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 70 points 1 month ago (5 children)

lol bet they also found The Communist Manifesto engraved on a nano scale on the bullet casing.

The backpedaling on the WSJ's lie has begun:

On September 11, 2025, The Wall Street Journal issued a caution regarding its earlier report on an internal law-enforcement bulletin concerning the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk. The bulletin had mentioned ammunition found near the scene with "transgender and anti-fascist ideology" engravings, but the Justice Department indicated the report might not accurately reflect the messages on the ammunition as the probe was in its early stages.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

might not accurately reflect

Engraved on ammunition. We're at biblical levels of made up bullshit.

[–] lmdnw@lemmy.world 42 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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.

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 month ago

I don't. I hope it was a MAGA nutjob or similar so the administration doesn't get a good boogeyman

Trans-antifascists is something I can support

Well, we got images of the primary suspect today, so I'm guessing we'll get more pics soon.

Here's what I think we know so far:

I'm guessing the perp isn't a student there, otherwise they would've been able to get a name from school records.

I guess we'll see how close I am, but in the meantime, I hope these sources are of interest to others.

Edit: Looks like they got the guy (Tyler Robinson), and I was pretty close. Some details:

  • attended Utah State (not where the shooting happened) for one semester, then dropped out and attended Dixie Tech in St. George (about 4 hours south)
  • bullets were allegedly engraved and the text is available, though no pictures AFAICT
  • apparently he was conservative, at least a few years prior, though not a fan of Trump or Kirk
  • turned himself in when his parents confronted him

We'll probably learn a ton of additional irrelevant details soon. He doesn't seem like a crazy person, just likely radicalized by the internet.

Homie wrote an entire manifesto on a 30-06 shell

[–] Squiddork@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

It's actually the epstein files, that's why they didn't publish what the casings said

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] mcbenavides85@piefed.social 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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?

“antifacsist ideology”?

So, what…an American Flag? Right? Right…?

[–] PixelatedSaturn@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Lol first thing someone does when they go to assassinate someone is to engrave the rifle they hope no one ever finds...

Kinda like how people write shit on bombs meant for Gaza but on bullets? LMAO yes I don't believe that at all

I wonder what's supposedly written on it. I'll bet FCK NZI in the RUN DMC logo

[–] MrsVeggies@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 month ago (5 children)

They finally released what the casings said, some homophobic shit, but no "transgender ideology".

This false flag operation is insanely piss poor. It's like they were all sat in a room and told one of them was going to be scarified to initiate a civil war and here is your rhetoric start immediately saying the exact same thing.

And who has the most to gain? Couch fucker picking off his presidential rivals...
