The argentinian libertarian propagandists and the callcenter/bots (both payed by the goverment), are shitting bricks on social media. And even more so now that Milei is coming off a midterm election loss, a corruption scandal, and a significant loss of popularity.

Kirk-involved shooting

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 34 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (9 children)

is there any chance shooter gets caught? seems like they gone, luigi getting caught was a fluke and even then he left much more evidence like getting caught by a security camera, this one didn't leave any evidence.

[–] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 38 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

With Luigi they tapped some illegal surveilence resource then did parallel construction to fabricate "legal" evidence (ie the backpack with everything in it). The shooter was probably as cautious and more practical(?) given the range of the shooting.

Odds are it takes them 2 weeks to commit to a suspect.

I'm gonna guess they already have or will soon find the person, alive. That person won't quite check all the boxes they want to check for the assailant. The person will mysteriously die in a totally real gunfight with Utah LE. Then feds quickly come in, jerk off the local cops and then take over the investigation. We'll get some AI generated manifesto that checks all the boxes. Their socials will have been mysteriously deleted hours after the shooting.
