    “There is one person responsible for what happened here and that person is now in custody and will be charged soon and will be held accountable,” he adds

    I’m totally expecting a fair trial now.
    What a relief…

    Now comes the question of how much do you trust the three letter agencies run by a admitted partisan and law enforcement that has fumbled and spread misinformation throughout the investigation.

        Which is why he’s giving the fucking Medal of Freedom to that dead fascist mouthpiece.

        I fucking hate this country now.

    The markings on the bullets described by authorities indicate that the suspect, Tyler Robinson, was steeped in online culture and included references to the Antifa , or the anti-fascist, movement.

    A fired shell casing was inscribed with “notices bulges OwO what’s this?” - a reference to a “copypasta” - a piece of text that is repeated over and over again, often to troll people online.

    Authorities say one unfired casing had the words “Hey fascist! Catch!” and three down arrows - a common symbol used to represent the anti-fascist movement.

    A second casing had the lyrics to a song “Bella Ciao” inscribed on it. The song honours WWII-era partisans of the Italian resistance who fought Nazi Germany.

    The third unfired casing was inscribed with the words “If you read this, you are gay lmao” - again an apparent reference to online trolling humour.

      From another source about the arrows:

      Law enforcement officials revealed that Robinson inscribed the sequence up arrow, right arrow, down arrow, down arrow, down arrow on casings, which may be a reference to the co-op shooter Helldivers 2. In the game, the code triggers a 500KG bomb, one of the most destructive stratagems available to players.

      So you know that RF Brain worm Jr is going to have a field day with this true or not.

      Theres some steep stupidity in them seeing the bullet that used gay as a slur, and interpreting that as being related to transgenderism

        Sad part is it doesn’t matter if they retract the news statement people are already thinking the guy is some kind of trans avenger or something. The trans people are enemies part gets screamed. The “it was a mormon cis guy who has the parlance of the average 22 year old internet troll” gets whispered real quiet.

      I’m beginning to suspect the angry, insecure, tribalist, gun-loving demographic might be more prone to violence.

        Nah, this kid was from a traditional angry insecure tribalist gun-loving demographic but he was radicalized online by the vile and evil leftists. We must crack down on antifa and woke ideologies by punishing social media that exposes our precious freedom loving children.

        /s

        But in all seriousness I’m kinda low key worried he will be from a conservative family who realized there is a lot of bullshit and started aligning with the left. Because that will be a dog whistle for loyalists to kill freedom of speech online.

          He likely is.

          The Daily Mail is normally a worthless heap of right-wing garbage, but they turned out to be somewhat informative (and with zero journalistic ethics) by posting family photos of the suspect: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15086467/amp/Tyler-Robinson-Charlie-Kirk-killer-identified-Utah-Trump.html

          • One of those photos is Robinson smiling while wearing a Trump costume for Halloween.

          • The family is also religious, evidenced by the dad had him go to a minister before turning himself in.

          • Both parents are registered Republicans.

      Be better than them. Don’t jump to conclusions based on opinion or speculation.

    Kash Patel talking about how the FBI and the federal government drove this thing to completion, but, although he perpetually looks as if he has, that dumb fucker clearly couldn’t drive his thumb up his arse.

    This administration is a joke.

    He notes there were inscriptions on bullet casings, including one which read: “Notices bulges owo”.

    There was a comment yesterday maybe in the megathread? Gotta find it.
