How he managed to fit such long messages on a bullet?
Writing with a marker is not engraving
And a third unfired case read: “If you read this, you are gay LMAO.”
Fuckin' lawl

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
“Rest now, my brother, we have the watch, and I’ll see you at Valhalla”
Why is a Hindu telling a Christian that he'll see him in Valhalla?

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".
this is very besides the point, but "whiter than raisins"?? i'm scared to ask, but how white are your raisins, americans?
edit: after further research, it seems like american raisins are not white either, in which case, wtf is this saying
Not whiter than raisins, whiter than "[putting] raisins in potato salad." It's a reference to cooking. Also, I've never seen anyone do thay and I'm from the US south, so...pretty white I guess.
I'd rather sandpaper a crocodile's asshole in a phone booth
They said “whiter than raisins in potato salad.” It’s a meme saying that white people put raisins in potato salad.
There’s a book by street lit author Quan Millz called Becky Put Raisins in the Potato Salad. This is actually where I heard about it and I was like “ew! Raisins in potato salad??”
I’ve never seen a potato salad with raisins in it. Sounds gross.

"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.

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.

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?
Don’t forget that the Wall Street Journal ran with this news without bothering to check. Love those clicks!

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?
