After the suspected shooter has been detained, the FBI held a press conference to report on the case and announce the next steps going forward. Spoiler: we, as leftists, are fucked.
Key points:
- The shooter is Tyler Robinson of Utah.
- His friend reported him to the FBI.
- Tyler's Discord messages have been used as evidence, as provided by his roommate.
- ~~Robinson has been reported to be getting increasingly political, and during dinner one day, he spoke about how Kirk was "full of hate".~~ UPDATE 4: Tyler did not say that.
- The casings do not contain any trans references. But they do have anti-fascist rhetoric (bella ciao and "notices bulges OwO" included) and symbols engraved in them.
- Tyler was taken into custody on September 11th, 10 PM local time.
- The investigation is still ongoing.
- One guy cried while speaking.
- Thousands of more leads of potential accomplices are being followed.
- No other arrests are known
- Tyler drove to campus on a car.
- It's not known if Tyler is mentally ill.
- The charging documents will be filed 3 days from now (September 16), then a preliminary hearing will take place.

- Patel awkwardly trying to signal the Norse viking larp shit. "Charlie, I'll see you in Valhalla"
- Utah Governor Cox told everyone to log off and stop consuming rage bait, called social media a cancer, and that everyone should "touch grass" (his actual words).

the internet was a mistake
Literally 80% of the people here would write shit like that on their casings.
the people here better not be doing unserious shit like this
Thank you, I hadn't seen anyone yet say how deeply unserious, useless, dangerous, and horribly ignorant shit like this is and how, along with being privacy conscious, nobody should be doing anything close to it.
I'll laugh because a fascist died unceremoniously, but we shouldn't even really need to discuss how to hypothetically get away with it or how to improve on such unserious bullshit.
This whole website is unserious lol
I would hope 80% of people here would know to go to a non-extradition country after doing this and not turn themselves in.
And if you're gonna write something on the casings, at least make it look like the other side did it.
No one here is ever going to do something like this, so it doesn't matter.
We're too busy badposting and rotting
Nobody here would write "notices bulges" or "if you read this you're gay"
"If you read this you're gay LMAO" on a bullet casing would only fit in better here if there was a miniature carving of
One of the casings contained a picture of a pig defecating onto its own testicles
Me etching a link to PPB on a casing to PPB the feds
Reports indicate the shooter had strong opinions about cats being outdoors
yeah this is more devastating for 196 than it is for us

We all love some good ol' fashion fedposting but I would hope everyone doesn't actually think doing this is intelligent or useful.

disco elysium and some lib tagline about tankies. No adventures for me though. Leaving traces like that would get your comrades in trouble so I doubt anyone here would do that.
If you use the term "tankie", they'll blame the left. Liberals don't use it as much anymore, it's mostly just MLs using it ironically and self referentially.
If you were to do something like this, which none of us will because adventurism is completely pointless, either write nothing, or make it look like a fascist did it.
I would be so anal about covering tracks that I'd either write nothing or use caseless ammo.
Thats the other end of the hexbear spectrum. Lurker vs poster?
genuinely. GENUINELY. where the FUCK do these imbeciles come from. HOW can you be this much of a moron.
I'm sorry, writing "Notices bulges owo" on the bullet you use to shoot Julius Streicher's intern is funny
