Remember, the FBI did NOT pay the person that helped them find Luigi.

a guy that looks like that carved "transgender" and "anti-fascist" on the shell casings

This stinks to high heaven.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 days ago

He picked up the fired shell casing.

Damn he definitely blended in with the crowd. Generic ass looking dude he gone. Sleep tight, conservative pundits.

Yeah we got "slim generic white dude between 26 to 55"

Start reporting everyone with US flag shirts.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I actually did a search to find that hoodie. there are literally hundreds of USA flag , eagle bullshit hoodies for sale, but not that one.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Is that an eagle? I can’t tell what that black shape in front of the flag is

and local officials recovered ammunition with the rifle that appeared to be engraved with statements “expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology”

Well if I would be a right wing extremist, I would try anything to make it look like someone from the other team took the shot. Because anything else sounds like it was made the fuck up.

If this statement is true - and yes, you never know anymore in the Trump regime... - then ask yourself how trans people must feel now.

Trump and his cronies have been violently attracking them and threatening their very right to exist since he took office. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if one of them decided to respond in kind and went all Rambo on MAGA.

The political violence is all Trump's doing.

Photos posted on X which is a Neo Nazi platform.

Well that only narrows it down to the entire state of Utah.

Texans: *whew*. heh heh heh

[–] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah they ain't never gonna find "generic white guy". It isn't gonna happen.

Edit - Well. Make a liar out of me. Fuckin idiot told his dad and his dad narc'd on him. Opsec failure. But I stand by my statement. Had he not been a dumbass they never would have found him. Not from those pictures.

I heard the reward is ligma

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I bet after a fortnight of no leads they arrest a guy conveniently dressed exactly like this carrying a gun.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Suspect is hatless. Repeat, hatless.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But Kash said they had the person after the shooting happened. Are we saying the FBI has no clue what's going on and maybe making shit up?

[–] Zier@fedia.io 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I believe he was referencing the Colorado shooter.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

No, they arrested an old white man in the crowd who they later released who I believe made a scene saying it was him so they would be distracted looking for the actual shooter

[–] Zier@fedia.io 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Whatever the screen print on that shirt is, looks very republican/patriot to me.

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Probably to blend in

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Downvoting this post not helping FBI catch this supposed shooter.
