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 5 points 1 hour ago (1 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 1 points 49 minutes 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.

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 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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

[–] MangioneDontMiss@feddit.nl 1 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 hours ago

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

No need to recycle fascist propaganda.

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 1 hour ago

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

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Oh boy, martial law incoming 👀

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 1 points 46 minutes 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.
