Kirk Assassination, Propaganda of the Deed, and Luigi (anarchist.nexus)

According to AP, there were messages engraved on the casings in the Kirk shooting. They read:

  • One read, “hey fascist! catch!” with an up arrow symbol, right arrow symbol, and three down arrow symbols. 
  • Another one read: “oh bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao,” Cox said. 
  • The third fired casing read: “if you read this you are gay lmao.”

My first thought is. Whoever killed Kirk was clearly inspired by Luigi. The writing on the casings just like Luigi did. The timing. It just makes sense.

Does this mean Luigi’s propaganda of the deed was successful? I think so. In any case, I wonder if this means there is more to come.

Oof my guy stop believing Facebook posts like a boomer. Turan doesn't even make .30_06 ammunition.

Also, bullets are typically "engraved" along the side of the casing, not the back, where they are stamped by the manufacturer.

Here is an example of an engraved .30_06 round. I'm sure the shooters round is much less well done, but this example shows the kind of detail that can be achieved.

Hmmm. A simple web search returns pictures of these bullets with a lot of markings on the base. I do not profess to be an expert, but that’s a lot of pictures.

Right, and if you do the same search for "Winchester bullets" they all say WIN in the same spot. It's a brand name and that is where it is commonly placed on pretty much all center-fire bullets. You may not be an expert, but the guys in the FBI, who are gun nuts, are. Unfortunately, I grew up around these types of people. I won't pretend this FBI is competent in investigations, but I guarantee you they know bullets. They see a stamp in that spot, they know it's just a brand name, not some "trans ideology". Otherwise they'd think Charlie Sheen was guilty every time they found a casing with WIN stamped into base.

Every bullet for which you can see the base in that web search is a 9mm pistol round. Not a high powered .30_06 round like was used in the shooting, and the rifle rounds shown in that search are all .308, which is a similar, but still entirely different round than the .30_06. Again, to my knowledge, Turan does not even manufacture a bullet of the caliber used in the shooting.

Please stop spreading misinformation, that is what we have governments for.

You are correct. My searches for the .30_6 made by Turan returns 0 hits.

Thank you for clarifying.
