    WSJ is reporting the ammo was inscribed with trans and antifacist ideology.

    Honestly have my doubts, I’m not one of those false flag people but the way the right is jumping on this and Kirk’s refusal to toe the line with Epstien stuff makes me suspicious.

      I’m very suspicious of that claim. 1. What could it possibly say on it that would be pro-trans and antifascist? Like what exact words could physically be inscribed to say these things? 2. WSJ’s source is Steven Crowder who supposedly heard it from the ATF.

        Ah, of course. I want to assume that isn’t the only source the WSJ would use to verify but our media institutions are garbage fires.

      No need to recycle fascist propaganda.

      lol… right. If WSJ is saying that than they have just become another puppet propaganda outlet along the same lines as newsmax and Breitbart.

        WSJ is owned by Rupert Murdoch, that’s been the case for ages.

      It is always projection with the nazis

      & they call EVERYTHING a “false flag”

      so I think it is a definite possibility that this was an ACTUAL false flag.

        I have almost no doubt at this point that this was a false flag.

      I’m not buying that until I hear it from a trust worthy source. What idiot would write on the fucking bullet casing who they are/what group they represent, unless they are trying to miss lead.

          Yeah, those casings did have deny, defend, dispose on them. But those are (similar to) tactics used by insurance companies to avoid paying for medical care like they should. The writing in that case is about the target, not the alleged shooter.

        I mean they started that months ago.

        Sort of lends some credence to the false flag narrative. They have been counting since Jan 6th on left-wing violence breaking out against them so they’ve been forced to do it themselves.
