Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

My prediction is that another right-wing loon shit him, but even if they find the guy they'll still blame the left the same way they did with the trump shooter.

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.

[–] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 3 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 1 points 5 months ago

So it ended up being a goddamn nick fuentes groyper and thr WSJ has immediately pivoted to 'misguided young man'

Absolutely amazing

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 months ago

WSJ is reporting the ammo was inscribed with ~~trans and antifacist ideology~~ basic human decency.

No need to recycle fascist propaganda.

[–] MaxPow3r11@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] MangioneDontMiss@feddit.nl 1 points 5 months ago

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

[–] MangioneDontMiss@feddit.nl 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] MangioneDontMiss@feddit.nl 2 points 5 months ago

i don't think i've ever seen anything from that site so blatant though. sign of the times i guess.

[–] Ashenlux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I mean didn't Luigi write Deny Defend Dispose on his bullets?

[–] Ashenlux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 months ago

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.

Oh boy, martial law incoming 👀

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 3 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] bold_atlas@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

And Trump was just about to cancel the fascist take over.

Stupid extremists ruining America!
